Tanya, Joseph Franklin, a lawyer in Galveston, TX in the 1800s wrote a book Early Texas Death and Legal Records from Joseph Franklin's Diary and John Griffin's Sexton Records. In this book, p.79, I found this reference-- July 7/80-Lausen, C. Mrs., wife of H. J. Lausen, the blacksmith, died at Galveston. Maybe this is a connection to your family. Beverly in Galveston
