Minerva Jane Scharnhorst found
The 1850 Howard County, Missouri census registers the family of Henry CHONHAUST, age 39, Lorinda, age 36, Manerva, age 13, George, age 8, Louis, age 5, James, age 4, and Sadie, age 1. Subsequent records indicate Henry born in Hanover, Lorinda in Tennessee and the children in Missouri.
Can anyone connect this family to the other Scharnhorst families in Missouri and Illinois?
Later census reports indicate Louis and James in Colorado.
