My gg grandfather Johann "John" H. Schroeder emigrated with his wife and
children from Hannover in 1865 and settled in Indiana. Apparently the family lived first
in Jackson County, and later lived in Ripley County. Two daughters married Sieberts.
Friederike, b 23 Nov 1848, married Johann Frederick "Fred" Siebert, b 14 Aug
1843, and raised a large family in Ripley County. Anna Marie, b Aug 1864, married Herman
H. Siebert, b 29 Sep 1863, and had a son, George, who lived to adulthood. A Schroeder
son, William, apparently did not marry, and in the 1900 and 1910 Ripley County census has
Catherine Schroeder, his mother, living with him. The family is listed in records of St.
Paul's Church and some are buried in the Cross Roads Cemetery.
My g grandfather, Charles Henry Schroeder, married Sarah Elizabeth Pfeiffer in 1884 in
Jennings County. They are listed in the 1900 Jackson County census, then in 1907 they
moved to Bowie County, Texas. My family lost contact with the family in Indiana many
years ago, and I would love to hear from any Schroeder, Siebert, or Pfeiffer cousins. I
have talked with a cousin of the Pfeiffer line who lives in Jackson County, and plan to
visit Indiana later this year.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
