Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Joseph Casper Johanning

In the 1860 census entry for Joseph Johanning, his birthpace looks like "Mo." However, the 1870 and 1880 censuses clearly give his place of birth as Ohio.

It has not been proven that this family is that of Joseph C. Johanning. In 1880, 29 year old farmer "Joseph Yohanning" lived in Fox Settlement, Ludlow Twp., Washington Co., Ohio with his 29 year old wife Catherine and their two sons John (3) and William (1). Also living in the house was 25 year old farm worker John Snider. The adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Schoen and (presumably) Joseph's parents, Joseph and Mary Yohanning.


Katharina Kress

Sources conflict on date of birth:
7 Oct 1851 -- Snider, citing church and local records
07 Apr 1851 -- death certificate

In the 1880 census entry for Catherine Yohanning, her birthplace is listed as Virginia. The census-taker initially wrote "unknown" for the birthplaces of her parents, then crossed that our and wrote "Hanover" for her father and "Fulda" for her mother's birthplace.

Mrs. R. J. Thompson was the informant for the death certificate.


John G. Johanning

According to his death certificate, John G. Johanning never married. Mrs. R. J. Thompson was the informant for the death certificate.


John Valentine Kress

In 1860, 43 year old Hessian-born farmer John Kress (Grass) lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 46 year old wife Margaret and three children: George (11), Catharine (9), and Margaret (5). Both George and Katherine attended school. Anton Kress, who would have been seven years old, is not listed with the family and is presumed to have died before 1860.

The family moved from Fulda, Noble Co., OH to Washington Co., OH in 1869. In 1880, 64 year old retired farmer John Krass lived in Fox Settlement, Ludlow Twp., Washington Co., Ohio with his wife Margaret (61). The birthplaces of John, his wife, and their parents are all listed as "Prussia." Also living in the house were John's children, George (29) and Margaret (25), and their spouses Ellena (20) and John Rishman (28). George and Margaret's spouses were both Reischmans. The relationship between Magdelena Reischman and John Reischman is not known.

On 28 Jun 1883, the Fulda column of the Caldwell Citizens' Press reported
William Johonning and wife and John V. Kress, of
Washington County are visiting here in this neigh-
borhood.

Jacob Singer Jr.

The 1860 census entry for Jacob Singer contains many discrepancies when compared with church records. According to the census, 26 year old Hessian-born farmer Jacob Singer lived in Stock Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 20 year old wife Margaret (also born in Hesse). With them lived two boys: Leonard (9) and Edward (6).

According to church records (Snider), in 1860, Jacob (26) and Margaret (23) had two children: Lena (2) and Ignatz (4 mos.)

At the time of the 1870 census, Jacob Singer (35) owned a farm worth $3500 in Stock Twp. His personal possessions were valued at $2118. Living with him were his wife Margaret (30) and children Ignatz (10), Leo (7), Caroline (5), and Mary Ann (1). The children all attended school except Mary Ann. Jacob was a naturalized citizen. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Daniel Holer and Philip Miller.

In 1880, Jacob (45) and Margaret (40) Singer lived in Stock Twp. with their children Enos (20), Leo (17), Caroline (15), Mary A. (12), Andrew (9), Eve (7), Vincent (5), and Alexius (2). All of the children except Vincent and Alexius attended school. The farm next to Jacob Singer's belonged to Peter Noll.

From the Caldwell Citizen Press 16 Dec 1880:
Jacob Singer recently lost a valuable young horse. He was sick but a few hours.

The following notice appeared in the "Fulda Locals" section of The Caldwell Citizens' Press on 29 Dec 1881:
A very devilish trick was played on a horse belonging to Sebast. Hile. Jacob
Singer drove this animal with one of his own to Harrietsville, accepting the
kind invitation of Esq. Smithberger, he remained with him over night, and the
next morning it was discovered that some fiend had cut off the animal's tail.
He should discover the criminal and have him punished.
Sebastian Heil was Jacob Singer's brother-in-law.

From The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 3 Oct 1882:
Mr. Jacob Singer and daughter, and his brother Frank, went last week to
Cincinnati to see the exhibition and visit relatives. Messrs. Ehlerman, Arnold
and Adam Raush left Monday for the same purpose.
A week later, the same paper reported:
The folks who went to Cincinnati came back well pleased with the sights
there.

From The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 12 Jun 1884:
Sebastian Snyder of Ludlow tp., Washington county, Ohio brought a load of
wool from there to Jacob Singer's which was sold immediately at 30 cents.

The marriage record for Jacob Singer and his second wife states: 4 Oct 1886, Jacob Singer, aged 49 born in Europe and Catherine Coleman (Kuhlman) aged 36 born in Wheeling W. Va. of Peter Coleman and Elizabeth Kelz on August 1850.

Jacob Singer & Catherine Coleman Singer lived near Fulda until they moved to a farm outside Canton, Stark County, OH. They lived near Canton until their deaths. (Source: Thomas Singer)

In 1900, 65 year old Jacob Singer rented a farm in Sandy Twp., Stark County, Ohio with his wife Catherine, to whom he had been married for 14 years. Also living in the house were their children Clemence (12) and Lena (8), along with William (18), Jacob's youngest child from his first marriage. Only Clemence attended school. According to the census, Jacob arrived in America in 1840, and was a naturalized citizen. Jacob's farm was next to that of his son, Ignatius in the census.

No entry for Jacob Singer has been found in the 1910 census index.


Margaret Warner

According to Muth & Fox, Margaretha Warner was born in Fulda, OH, which would have been in Monroe County at the time of her birth. The 1880 census states that Margaret's parents were born in Hesse Cassel (Germany). Researcher Thomas Singer gives birth information as "15 May 1837-9 in Ohio"

The "Fulda" column of the Caldwell Citizens' Press stated on 30 Nov 1882:
Margaret, wife of Jacob Singer, has been very sick.

Obituary: Citizens' Press: Dec 21, 1882 ---
Mrs. Margaret Singer, age 45, born May 1837 was buried last Saturday at Fulda.
She had a family of 11, with the youngest being one year and 10 months old.

Several researchers show Margaret Warner as the daughter of John Warner and Margaret Hildebrand. According to several censuses, John had a daughters named Caroline and Margaret who were born in 1837 and 1840, respectively. The obituary of Margaret Warner Singer gives her birthdate as 1837. If correct, this throws doubt on the assumption that she is the daughter of John Warner. Further research needs to be done to clarify the issue.


Magdalena Singer

Magdalena Singer is not listed in the family of Jacob Singer in the 1860 census, which was taken in June of that year.

The 1860 census entry for Jacob Singer contains many discrepancies when compared with church records.

No entry for Jacob Singer has been found in the 1910 census index.


Catherine Coleman

The 1900 census incorrectly states that Catherine gave birth to three children, all of whom were still living at the time of the census. Her second child, Francis, died shortly after birth.


John M. Singer

John sometimes signed his name "John of Michael" or "John of M" to distinguish himself from his first cousin, John, son of Jacob Singer.

In 1870, 31 year old farmer John Singer lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Theresa (29) and children Joseph (7), Margaret (6), Sophia (4), Maxmillian (3), and Mary (5 months). None of the children attended school. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Cornett and Arnold Meracle (Miracle).

After poor luck farming, the family sold the farm to John's first cousin, Sebastian and Mary A. Singer moved to West Virginia in the spring of 1875. They have not been found in the 1880 census.

In West Virginia, the John and his second wife lived with many of their 17 children in a home that consisted of two rooms (one small and one large) on the ground floor and a sleeping loft above.

In 1900, John (63) and Catherine (47) Singer lived on a rented farm in Proctor, Wetzel County, West Virginia with six children, John, Frances, Clara, Tilla, Elizabeth and Isabel. Only Frances and Clara attended school. According to the census, John arrived in America in 1872 and was a naturalized citizen. The immigration date given in the census is believed to be incorrect. Church records in Fulda, Ohio and family lore place John in Ohio in 1861.

Some time after 1900, the family moved to Wheeling.

John Singer died in his home on the morning of his daughter-in-law's funeral (Magdelena Burkhart Singer, wife of Max Singer). Obituary (from Tom Singer) in the Daily Intelligencer, 2 Apr 1907:
Mr. John Singer -- this morning from St. Alphonsus Church
will take place the funeral of the late John Singer, who passed
away (Easter) Saturday at 8 a.m. in his 71st year. The death
was a peculularly sad one as it was the second in the family
within a very short time.


John M. Singer

John sometimes signed his name "John of Michael" or "John of M" to distinguish himself from his first cousin, John, son of Jacob Singer.

In 1870, 31 year old farmer John Singer lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Theresa (29) and children Joseph (7), Margaret (6), Sophia (4), Maxmillian (3), and Mary (5 months). None of the children attended school. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Cornett and Arnold Meracle (Miracle).

After poor luck farming, the family sold the farm to John's first cousin, Sebastian and Mary A. Singer moved to West Virginia in the spring of 1875. They have not been found in the 1880 census.

away (Easter) Saturday at 8 a.m. in his 71st year. The death
was a peculularly sad one as it was the second in the family
within a very short time.


Margaret Catharina Cornett

Records conflict on date of birth:
Tom Singer: 4 Sep 1853
1900 census: Sep 1852

Noble County marriage records state that John Singer's second wife was Margaret, but everywhere else she is called Catherine.

Family legend has it that Catherine Cornett lived in Germany and was sent for to care for John Singer's children after his first wife died. The length of time between Theresa Ebert Singer's death and John's marriage to Catherine (4 months) makes this doubtful. Four months is not enough time to send word from Ohio to Germany, and make the trip from Germany to Ohio. Tom Singer states that she came to America in 1871 and that she was working as a hired girl for John and Theresa when Theresa died.

According to the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census, Catherine Singer arrived in America in 1871. Nine of her eleven children were living at the time of the 1900 census. The census states that she had been married for 29 years.

In 1910, widow Catherine Singer rented a home at 2230 Alley E. in Wheeling, WV. Other members of the household were her widowed step-son Max Singer (41) and his son Clarence (4), and Catherine's children John M. (27), Clara (19), Bertha (17), Regina (15), and Isabelle (12). Max and John worked at the iron works. Clara and Bertha were strippers at the tobacco works. Only Isabelle attended school. According to the census, Catherine was a native of Germany, John was born in Ohio, and all of the other members of the household were from West Virginia.

In 1920, Catherine Singer (65) rented a home at 205 18th St. in Wheeling. Living with her were her unmarried children John M. (37) and Clara P. (29), and her step-grandson, Clarence Singer (15).

At the time of the 1930 census, 76 year old widow Elizabeth Singer lived with her daughter Clara Watson at 439 Main St. in Benwood, Marshall County, WV. Two doors away, a widow named Anna Cornett ran a boarding house. (Cornett was Elizabeth Singer's maiden name.) The relationship (if any) between Anna Cornett and Elizabeth Cornett Singer is not known at this time.

Catherine Cornett Singer died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Watson.


Aloysius Lewis Singer

a.k.a. Aloysius Ludvicius Singer

Scrofula is "tuberculosis of the neck." It is a result of an infection of the lymph nodes, sometimes spread by unpasturized milk from infected cows.


Michael Singer

Alternate date of birth: 1797 (Muth, Fox).

According to Tom Singer, Michael was the fourth child of George Singer. Michael operated the beechnut oil and flour mill that this father had. When Michael's oldest son, Marx, grew up and married, he took it over. Michael's three younger sons emmigrated to the United States, following their uncle (Michael's brother) Jacob Singer. Michael himself came to America some time following the death of his wife in 1855 and before 1870. No record of immigration has been found for Michael, George or John.

In 1870, 74 year old Michael Singer lived in the household of his son Joseph in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. The census indicates that Michael Singer was "infirm." He died two years later.


Marcus Singer

According to Tom Singer, Marx Singer remained in Germany. Serveral of his daughters reportedly emmigrated to New York.


Frederick Fuchs

According to Dr. Singer's notes, Eichenberg/Eichenburg is near Asscholfburg, southeast of Frankfurt. Frederich Fuchs was 24 years old when he entered he US in July 1861. He became a naturalized citizen.

At the time of the 1870 census, Frederick (32) and Cisvilla (29) Fox lived on a farm in Jefferson Twp., Noble County, Ohio with their daughters Rosa (4) and Matilda (1), and Phoebe Gray (13), who is listed as a "domestic servant." According to family tradition, Phoebe and her brother Jacob were raised by Frederick and Sibylla Fox. The Fox's farm was valued at $1500, and their personal possessions were worth $441. Neighboring households in the census were those of Thomas Nelson and Homer Brotton.

In 1880, farmer Frederck Fox (42) and his pregnant wife Sevelia (39) lived in Jefferson Twp. with their children Rosa (14), Tilda (11), Mary A (9), Katie (7), Herman (4), and Anna (2). The four oldest girls attended school. Frederick's birthplace is Wurtemburg, Germany. Sibyilla's is "Bruchwiler, Germany." Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Henry Saling and Joseph Crum.

From the "Fulda" column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press on 31 Mar 1881:
On the sick list: F. Fuches.

Caldwell Citizens' Press, 5 May 1881:
Fred Fuchs is up again doing his work.

Caldwell Citizens' Press, 28 Sep 1882:
Fred Fox is building a new dwelling on the farm he bought lately.

The same paper reported on 2 Nov. 1882:
Fred Fuchs will soon remove into his new house.

The following note appeared in the "Fulda" column of the Caldwell Citizens' Press on 26 Apr 1883:
Fred Fox built a new tobacco house last week.

A note in the Caldwell Ohio paper dated 18 Jan 1894 states:

...and two weeks later (1 Feb 1894) the paper reported
Mr. Claus of Wheeling is visiting Fred Fox and other friends
of this place.

...and on 31 May 1894 it was reported that
C.M. Halper and wife took dinner with Fred Fox and
family last Sunday.

Fred and Sybilla Fox lived in the large house originally owned by Sybilla's parents, Jacob and Magdelena (Zwick) Singer. In 1900, 62 year old farmer Fredrick Fox lived on a farm that he owned in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 59 year old wife Sevilla and three of their children: Anna (21), Enoch (19), and Celia (14). Fredrick could read and speak English, but could not write.

In 1910, Fred and Sevilla Fox still lived on a farm in Enoch Twp. Their son Ignatz lived next door. By 1920, Fred (82) and Sebilia Fox (79) lived in the same household as their son Ignatz.
