Seeking infomration on the descendents of Joseph EIS, b 4 Oct 1820 in Alsace-Lorraine,
France, d 20 Sep 1898 in Hopewell Twp, Perry, OH. On 3 Oct 1844 Joseph married Margaret
C. LANK b 25 Apr 1823 in Bavaria, d 28 Sep 1871 in Washington Twp, Grant, IN.
Margaret and two children, Christina and Simon, are buried in Union Chapel Cemetery in
Washington Twp. Children who survived were :
1. Catherine D. EIS, b abt 1847, m John W. SHEPHERD 10 Mar1872 in Grant Co.
2. Edward EIS, b abt 1853, m Martha A. CAMPBELL, 8 Nov 1874 in Grant Co.
3. Lewis EIS, b abt 1853, m Elizabeth C. LAMM, 20 Dec 1875 in Grant Co.

5. Daniel EIS, b abt 1858
6. John EIS, b abt 1864
Joseph's obituary mentioned that two children had previously died but said 9 children
total. I am searching for the name of that 9th child as well as descendents of any of the
other children. I also have EIS information back to about 1715 to share.
