Their daughter Sarah Cook married Louis Knudsen, a blacksmith from Norway, in 1882 and they settled down in Eau Claire, WI. Their daughter Ruth (born 1892) was my grandmother. I found Nicholas Koch and Sophia Schlecker in the 1850 Federal Census in Western Pennsylvania. I also found them on the FamilySearch.Com. They were both from Berlin. I believe that they arrived in the U.S. around 1849 or 1850. Koch's mother Anna E. Mariae Daubach traveled with them. I later found them on the 1880 Federal Census in Red Cedar, Dunn County. What else do you have on them?
