Helen,
I have some HOCHGESANG info in my "Lang Family History" at my website (in my
signature). An ancestor in-law was Michael HOCHGESANG, Sr. (evidently a brother to your
Elizabeth H.). He married Magdelena/Malinda SCHEURICH (see the following from my
"Lang Family History"). Would you be able to fill in some blanks --
Magdelena's birthdate, burial place; some of her children's spouses, Michael
HOCHGESANG's burial place? Any corrections? The spelling of MOLITOR/MOLITER?
--------------
Magdelena/Malinda ("Madalina" on the Bark Potomac passenger list), born
1824. Died January 16, 1889, Jasper, Indiana. Burial in .

Hope we can fill in some blanks for each other.

Subject: Hochgesang/Mathias-Matheis
Hi, I have a Hochgesang-Mathias/Matheis/Mathies connection
that I have been hitting a brick wall on. I have an
Elizabeth Hochgesang (b. 1832 in Germany-- parents are John
Joseph Hochgesang and Catherine/Barbara Molitor).
Elizabeth married Adam Mathias after 1850 and they have two
known children-- Anton (b. 1858; bapt. Celestine) and M.
Magdalen (b. 1864; bapt St. Joseph). I cannot find them
anywhere in 1860 or 1870 or the rest of the census. I know
the Mathias name can be spelled many ways as can Hochgesang.
Adam is listed in the immigration book along with Anthony
and Frank. So I am presuming the three are brothers.
Anthony and Frank are neighbors in the later censuses. But
Adam and Elizabeth seem to have fallen off the face of the
earth, along with their children. Can anyone help me?
I do have lots of other Hochgesang info I'd be happy to
share-- that is a direct line of my hubby's.
