Dear Penny:
Thanks for your posting of May 5.Sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I seem to have been very busy lately.I have not had a chance yet to follow up on all the good information you included in your posting, but I will as soon as I can.
However, here are a couple things.You wanted names of other children of John Jacob Hediger and Katharia Meyer.Their children were Maria, Anna Elizabeth, Verena, Frederick H. (my grandfather), Maria Anna, Johannes, J.,Rudolph, and Johann Jacob.I will get more information on dates, etc. if you want me to do so and send them to you by e-mail.
On the family of Jakob Hediger and Elizabeth Rohr, it is interesting that some are tied to Centralia, IL.I remember that when I was growing up on the county line near Keyesport, IL. there was a Hediger family in Centralia by the name of Hediger.My father, Henry Hediger, did not know of what relation to us they were, but it seems obvious that all the Hedigers with the same spelling that settled in Southern Illinois were related.Any further information on that family will allow me to check further for relationships.
I am excited by family names and relationships that I am coming up with.I have a descendant of Anna Elizabeth Hediger, who married William Brown that has filled me in pretty well with that branch of the Hediger family.Anything further that you can do to assist will be greatly appreciated.I plan to keepl in touch with you by e-mail as well as by postings.Thanks so very much. Hoping to hear from you again soon, I remain, your friend, Ed Hediger.
