Surname: Weidner
-------------------------
Veronica Weidner was the daughter of Lawrence Nd Gertrude Weidner found
in the 1860 Census of Clark Co, Indiana. The
Census Index has her name as Faronica age 1. Two brothers are also listed:
Martin age 4 and Andrew age 3. All of the children were born in Indiana.
I 'suspect' that Lawrence and Gertrude arrived from Germany somtime in
the 1860's or late 1850's. I found no Weidner's in Clark Co in the 1850
Census.
Veronica was still livin at home with Lawrence and Gertrude in the 1880
Census index...Clark Co, Indiana Silver Creek Twp.
Veronica [and siblings] still at home were:
Martin 24, Veronica 20, Catherine 18, Chris 14, Frances 12, Frederic 8,
Geo 6
Further info...Lawerence and Gertrude list Bavaria as birth place. I have
no info on Andrew.
You will find Gertrude still in Clark Co in 1910 but now apparently a widow
with Chris, Frederick and George still at home.
Martin has now formed his own family and is still in Clark Co [at Jeffersonville].
His wife is named Rosa and their children were named: Mary A, Geo J, Wm
C, Olicer C, Rosa T, and Leonard L.
I hope this will help in some way and that you might share what ever else
you find on the Weidners since this Surname is a hobby of mine.
