Shaky Leaves : Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911)

Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911) was the wife of my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick (1832-1914) on my paternal side.  Ancestry.com is currently showing 10 hints from historical records for her in my LeMaster & Allied Familes tree.

I have ignored the Ancestry Member Tree hints for now and will concentrate on the records.

There are a lot of records to update in my RootsMagic database, including the census records.

In the 1910 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David.  They owned their home free of mortgage, and had been married for 25 years.  One fact I hadn't noted before was that she was the mother of one child who was still living.

In the 1900 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David, a minister.  They owned their home, but the enumerator wrote that they had been married for 57 years!  There was also a servant boarding in the home, Sally Simmons, age 28 born in Ohio.

Another database was the Ohio, Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center Obituary Index, 1810-2013 where they listed the following:

Name:	Margaret Sherrick [Margaret Rosenberger]
Death Date:	1911
Spouse:	David
Newspaper Information:	Newspaper: Seneca Advertiser; Newspaper Date: 17 Apr 1911; Newspaper Page: 8 Column: 5; Repository: Tiffin Seneca Public Library - Tiffin, OH ; Years Available: 1842-1919

Library Link:	Order Copy

Also was a link to Maggie's memorial at the FindAGrave site.  She is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio at the grave site with her first husband, Anthony David Rosenberger.

Another database was Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1900 where I located the marriage date of Margaret's marriage to her first husband.

Name:	Margaret Zimmerman
Gender:	Female
Spouse:	Anthony D. Rosenberger
Spouse Gender:	Male
Marriage Date:	20 Nov 1870
County:	Seneca
State:	Ohio

I still need to locate the marriage date between Margaret and my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick, but it must have happened after 1879, when her first husband died.

One thing I found through these records was that the name of Margaret's mother was Sarah.  I've yet to find the name of her child with David Rosenberger.  I've updated my RootsMagic database.

If you are related or have any addition corrections or information, I would love to hear from you.
