I was so excited to receive an email from the STRAUB-List (subject-- George STRAUB)! I hope this helps. Matthew, are we the only ones on this STRAUB-List? Help, please from anyone else on the list. It appears we are both at a dead end... Please note Emmaline Straub Stecker had a son named GEORGE Stecker and family names were often continued in future generations.

Daughter Emmaline Savilla Straub b 11/16/1824, Bloomsburg, Columbia Co., PA, m 1842 John (Jacob) Peter STECKER(who was murdered in MN) b 1/1/1822 Hemlock Twp, PA. Their children were: Jacob Henry Stecker (my GGrfather) b 1848, Minnie Elizabeth Stecker b 1869 MN, GEORGE Dallas Stecker b 1849 PA, John Franklin Stecker b 1855 MN, Edwin Calvin Stecker b 1860 MN, Claraissa Louise Stecker b 1847-1850 PA, Mary Alverna Stecker b 1852 PA, Blanche Arabell Stecker 1865 MN, Cora Mae Stecker b 1868 MN, Emma Matilda Stecker b 1863 MN, William Clarence Stecker b 1857 MN and Elijah Stecker b 1873 MN.
