Ehrhardt / Erhart Family of Cole County, Missouri
Looking for information on this Cole County, Missouri Erhardt branch.
George Adolf Adam Erhardt b.1804 in Bavaria, Germany married Susanna Margaretha Schrepfer and later, Elizabeth Katherina Mauch.
George and Susanna's children were...
1. John Peter(may be Demitri) b.1825 in Bavaria
m.Emilie Wilhelmine Eilenstein
2. John Adam b.1829 in Bavaria
m. Elizabeth Margaret Schubert
3. John Nicholas b.1831 in Bavaria
m. Melvina Coffelt
4.John Peter b. 1833 in Bavaria
(lost him after 1850 Census)
5. John Michael b. 1836 in Bavaria
(lost him after 1850 Census)
6. John Adam b. 1837 in Bavaria
m. Lydia Ann Eggers
7. John b.1841 in Bavaria
(lost him after 1850 Census)
8. John Henry b. 1843
(lost him after 1850 Census)
George and Elizabeth's children were...
1. William (surname may be Mauch and likely came into the marriage with Elizabeth) ??? b.1838
2. John Phillip b. 1847 in Cole County, Missouri
m. Agnes Augusta Thekla Loesch
3. Elizabeth Matilda b. 1850 in Cole County, Missouri
(lost her after 1850 Census)
Besides those who I can't find in the Cole, Henry county areas, which is where the others mostly settled, the biggest mysterie surounding this family is whether or not Elizabeth was married prior to George, and if William was her son from that marriage?It would seem to be likely, but is Mauch her maiden or 1st husbands name?
Any information on this branch...please come forward!Thank you.
