Leonard Schoeppner

According to "The History of Noble County Ohio, 1887" Jno. Hohman [Johann/John/Doc] and Leonard Schoeppner came to America from Hesse in 1835. Mathias Schockling, a French Alsatian, came to this country earlier. In the year 1837, these three, with Felty Weaver, made a settlement in Enoch Township, all bringing their families in that year except Schoeppner. [note: Leonard Schoeppner would have been about 15 at the time.]

At the time of the 1850 census, 28 year old German-born farmer Leonard Shopner lived in Enoch Twp., Monroe County, Ohio with his wife Elizabeth (23) and three daughters: Mary A. (5), Margaret (3), and Catherine (1). All of the children were born in Ohio. Also living in the household was 60 year old German-born farmer John Shopner (presumably Leonard's widowed father). Leonard's farm was worth $800. The neighboring farms in the census belonged to Michael Fogle and John Gerst.

In 1860, 37 year old farmer Leonard Shepner lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 30 year old wife Elizabeth and their eight children: Mary A. (15). Margaret (14), Catherine (12), Eva (10), Elizabeth (8), Matilda (6), John (4), and Eliza (1). All of the children attended school except John and Eliza. Places of birth were not recorded for anyone in the family.

In 1870, Leonard (48) still lived in Enoch Twp. with his wife Elizabeth (43) and his ten youngest children: Catherine (21), Eve (18), Elizabeth (16), Matilda (14), John (12), Caroline (10), Mary (8), Barbara (6), George (4), and Rosa (1). Also living with them was Leonard's father, John (83), who was infirm. All of the children were born in Ohio; Leonard, his wife, and father were born in Hesse Cassel. According to the census, John was not a US citizen. Of the children, Matilda, John, Caroline and Mary attended school. Leonard's farm was worth $7000; his personal possessions were valued at $1550. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John D. Gerst and John Gerst Jr. (The relationship between the two John Gersts is not known.)

At the time of the 1880 census, Leonard Shepner (58) and his wife Elizabeth (53) lived in Enoch Twp. with their children John (22), Caroline (20), Mary B. (18), Barbara (16), George (13), and Rosa (12). Neighboring households in the census were those of John Sterangel and Leonard's son-in-law Francis Joseph Zwick.

Caldwell Citizens' Press 26 Jan 1882:
Mr. Schoeppner made a trip to Cincinnati the other day, but got so tired of that city
that he returned the next day.


Elizabeth Miller

The 1870 census states that Elizabeth, who was born in Hesse Cassel, could read but not write.

In The Caldwell Citizens' Press on 20 Jan 1881:
On the sick list, Mrs. Schoeppner, with Rheumatism. She had well nigh recovered,
but by her exposure too soon after, relapsed.


Eva Schoeppner

In 1870, 18 year old Eve Schoeppner lived and worked on her parents' farm in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with nine of her siblings.


Israel Colie

Israel Colie was a shoemaker (1850 census).
Buried Springield Methodist Church, plot 65, grave 3.


Jane B.

Records conflict: Most sources (1850 Census, Dennis Colie) state that Israel Colie's wife is named Jane. However, Israel's son Robert's death certificate lists his mother's name as Cornelia Colie.

In the 1840 census, Israel is shown as residing with a woman between the age of 20 and 30. In the 1850 US Census, Isreal's wife is named Jane and she is 45.

Buried at Springfield Methodist Church, plot 65, grave 4.

DEATH:wife Betsey is a widow in 1850 census. Twp. of Springfield, Essex Co., NJ, M 432, Roll 450, page 271, line 10.

From notes of Dennis Colie "Jacob Colee, Daniel Colee Junr, and Lepnard Colee
are listed in Norton, James S., compiler, "New Jersey in 1793," (an abstract
and index to the 1793 militia census of the State of New Jersey) under the
Essex Co. entries. In the index to the census Daniel's and Lepnard's name is
spelled Colie. Jacob is Colee in both the census document and the index. I
have some evidence to support the belief that they were brothers and the sons
of Daniel Colie (senior)."
