Hi Jackie!!!
Jacob Hornung was my great great grandfather. I've found out that the Henn's
emmigrated around 1852 from Baden - Parents =
Blasius, b. 1 Feb 1811, d. 5 Feb 1860 and
Jakobine Moosch (not sure if that's her maiden name), b. 5 Jul 1806, d. 14 Feb 1872
Jacob and Rosina's son Charles Benjamin was my great grandfather.
My aunt says that Jacob committed suicide when the well he had sunk a lot of money into
came up dry. She has some pictures - I haven't seen them, she's in PA and I'm
in CA - I know, I need to visit, lol
Have you been able to find out who were Jacob's parents? Someone on these message
boards found that Jacob was born in Missouri about 1843, 2 siblings - John b. abt 1841in
KY and Margaret, b. abt 1845 in MO -
their mother's name is listed as Margaret but no father's name - and I don't
know what happened to John or the Margarets. On one of the censuses Jacob has both of his
parents as coming from Bavaria - I don't know when, or if they were married at the
time, etc.
So... are you a cousin? lol
