Marriage-1:

Disposition: buried Blue Bush Cemetery, London Twp., Monroe Co., MI
Occupation: homemaker
Other Spouse: Mr. __?__
Other Child: Christina __?__, b. 1845/6, MI

Some secondary sources give Wendelin two wives named Barbara, namely, Barbara KNAUF and Barbara SCHAFFER — others name one of them Barbara R. MEYER — but I see nothing in the records to indicate more than one wife named Barbara. We need the marriage records, of course, and we need to find a Barbara (ca. æ 24, b. Baden) in the 1850 census, with a daughter, Christina (æ 4, b. MI).

Marriage-2: 25 Oct 1879, Monroe Co., MI

Wife-2: Clara HELD

Occupation: homemaker
Father: John HEALDT, of Hesse

Barbary " 34 F "

Christina has to be Barbara's child from a former marriage because Wendelin was unmarried and living alone in 1850. If the estimated marriage date as given in the IGI is correct, then Henry is not Wendell's child, either. Living two doors from Paulding WISE, who is two doors from Wendelin's brother, John STRAUB, the younger, with whom is living their widowed mother, Mary (METSCH) STRAUB.
