My gg-grandmother was Anna Maria ZUMBAHLEN born 1835 in Oldenburg. Came to the US in the 1840's and settled in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio...married John Theodor TOENNIS in 1852.
Anna's parents were: Joseph ZUMBAHLEN (b. 1792-d. 1860) and Elisabeth WOLFING (b.1795-d.1870).
Joseph and Anna had at LEAST two other children:
Elisabeth who married Bernard MOHRHAUS in Cincinnati
Clemens who married Helena DEY in Cincinnati
They likely had more children, but I have not confirmed these connections.
The family was Catholic and they were possibly from Dinklage in Oldenburg.
Joseph may have been the son of Werner ZUM BAHLEN and Anna Catherina SEELHORST. This is unconfirmed and may be incorrect.
Possible other children for Joseph and Elisabeth are:
Otto Henry married Louise Augusta Amalie WURTZ in St. Louis, Missouri
Maria A. married Franz RIELAGE in Cincinnati
Mary Catherine married John Bernard RIESSELMAN in Cincinnati
Caroline married John RIELAG in Cincinnati
Heinrich married Helena LUETTMAN and settled in Kentucky
Bernardine married Anton DEIE in Cincinnati and Martin SCHULZ in Cincinnati
Herman Heinrich married Elizabeth Bernardina TEGENKAMP in Illinois
H. ? married a Anna Katharine in Illinois?
Herman in Illinois
Joseph who married Mary in Illinois
Any information about the origin of this family is appreciated.
