Dear Christie,
Hi my name is Dawn and we are related thru the Weinbach's, I am also a
gr granddaughter of John A. and his wife Anna Brickner (Bruckner). My grandmother
is Helen Robinson, one of their daughters. I have a little info on the
Weinbach's and would gladly share what I have if you are interested just
let me know ok...As far as Weinbach Ave goes my gr.mother says the street
was named after her gr.father William and that he at one time owned alot
of the land down by the river but that he was an alcoholic and a gambler
and lost it all...William was married to Margaret Bernhart and they had
4 kids far as I can tell. They were Maggie, Clara, William JR. and John
A....William also had a brother named Adam who was married to Mary Dorothea
Scheich and they had 7 kids..Elizabeth, Maggie, Helena, Mary, Catherine,
Anna, and Henry...William and Adams mother was Margaretha Schilling but
I dont know who their father was. My gr.mother has said that her dad was
a carpenter here in Evansville and did alot of the work inside the old
homes on Washington Ave and that once he left his tools in the attic of
one of the homes but never got them back. She also mentioned something
about her uncle or gr.uncle drowning when he was going down the Mississippi
River and is buried on the banks of Louisiana somewhere. I have dates on
some of these people if you want them...Hope I can help you...write soon...Dawn
PS My father was Fredric William Robinson and my mom is Iona Mary Schmitt...GRMom
was Helen Weinbach and GRDad was Charles Edward Robinson....
