Martha Räuschenberger (b. January 11, 1626/27)

Today's featured relative is my paternal 9th-great grandmother, Martha Räuschenberger.

Martha was born January 11, 1626/27 in Egenhausen, Württemberg, the daughter of Christoph and Barbara (Rass) Räuschenberger. Martha married Hans Stickel, son of Peter and Margaretha (Grossmann) Stickel. Hans was before November 1, 1621 in Egenehausen, Württemberg and died February 12, 1692/93 in Egenhausen, Württemberg. I do not know when Martha died.

John Alexander Webb (b. January 11, 1483/84)

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 15th-great grandfather, John Alexander Webb.

John was born January 11, 1483/84 in Stratford, Warwickshire, England. I do not have any information on his parents or spouse.

This is one of those spurious names in my database which may or may not turn out to be a true relative, but because of my lack of documentation in my earlier days, I have no further information.

John Alexander Webb and ________
Henry Alexander Webb and Grace Arden
Alexander Webb and Margaret Arden
Alexander Webb and Mary Wilson
Richard Webb and Grace Wilson

Carey H. Gilliland Family - Hamilton Co., OH

Today I sourced the census record for the Carey H. Gilliland family in the 1860 census of Hamilton Co., OH. Carey married my 3rd-great grandaunt Elizabeth W. Lambertson.

The census taker liked to use initials instead of names, as Carey is 'C.H.' and Elizabeth is 'E.W.' on this particular census. Elizabeth died October 11, 1860, so this was the last census record for her. I have not yet tracked Carey and the children beyond the 1860 census to find out where else they appeared.

Carey H. GILLILAND b. ca. 1816 Red Oak, Brown Co., OH.,d. after 1860 census, m. October 15, 1839 Butler Co., OH to Elizabeth W. LAMBERTSON. Elizabeth b. June 7, 1823 Sussex Co., NJ., d. October 11, 1860 Ohio (prob. Hamilton Co.)

Known children of Carey H. and Elizabeth W. (Lambertson) Gilliland :
i. Nancy Gilliland b. ca. 1841 Ohio
ii. Rebecca M. Gilliland b. ca. 1843 Ohio
iii. Eliza Amanda Gilliland b. ca. 1846 Ohio
iv. Franklin C. Gilliland b. ca. 1850 Ohio
