Christina Anna Henninger was born on 06 Mar 18153 in Augustaville, Rockefeller Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania to parents Phillip Henninger and Magdalena Dunkelberger. Here Christina was baptized on 11 Jun 1815 at Zion (or Stone) Lutheran and Reformed Church, sponsored by John Ried and his wife.

Christina Henninger and her family moved from Pennsylvania to Wayne County, Ohio sometime between 1820 and 1830.4

Thomas Warner married Christina Henninger on 13 Feb 1840 in Wayne County, Ohio.5

The new couple lived in Green Township, Wayne, Ohio in 1840 as neighbors of Christina's father Phillip & brother Jacob Henninger's families.6

By 1850 Thomas had purchased a house and farm land where he worked as a farmer in Cedar Valley in Chester Township, Wayne, Ohio with his wife Christina, daughters Anna Maria & Catharine and son Simon Peter.7

Over the next 20 years Thomas purchased multiple properties in the area. His real estate was estimated to be worth $3200 and personal estate at $224.8

Footnotes

A Christina's father. Phillip, was said to be of Augusta, Northumberland County. Whether this is true and whether or not he lived there when Christina was born, I am unsure.

B Sunbury and Augustaville are only 6 miles apart; Sunbury to the north and Augustaville, a bit southeast. There is a town named Dunkelbergers (same as Christina's mother Magdalena Dunkelberger) about 3 miles south of Augustaville.

C It seems like I've been failing to follow my own lessons. I got ahead of myself and started assigning Christina the middle name of "Anna". This came from a census record listing her name as Christianna. In my excitement, I overlooked the most basic of rules that censustakers of this time would have still been spelling phonetically and "Christina" can be misheard as "Christianna". While it's still possible, this is unlikely

John Betzikofer of Liverpool (1824-1899)

BIRTH MARRIAGE DEATH 1824, Sigmaringen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany Before 1854, Unknown 13 April 1899, Belden, Medina, Ohio, USA John Betsicover is currently assumed to have been born in the Sigmaringen region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1824 under the name Justus Betzikofer. While research is still underway, this is all we know of John's early life at this current moment. Even less is known on his wife Emily Zimmerman. She was born in the region of Bayern, Germany about 1828 and seems that her birth name was Apolonia even though she frequently went by Emily and Emma. That is the total extent of our early knowledge. As a matter of fact, we don't know much about their arrival in America either. John stated later in life on his naturalization paperwork that he arrived May of 1852, but we don't know where or if he was alone or with his br...

(Whether Sarah had to get by on her own as something like a housekeeper or if she was able to band together with her siblings is unknown. It should also be noted that Sarah possibly had 3 surviving half-siblings as well from her father's first marriage that may have been able to help.) Not...
