The J. Henrich Westerman Family Home Page
| J. Henrich Westerman is the first known Westerman to live in Ripley County, Indiana, during the late 1800's.It is assumed that he, his wife Katrina Marie (maden name unknown), and their two children Louise and William, migrated to Indiana from Germany.However there is no known records available to prove or disprove this assumption.Birth and Death Records were not mandentory at that time and any records that may have been filed at the court house might have been destroyed during the courthouse fire in the 1880's..Katrina remarried to an Anton Henrick Hellman, presumally after J Henrich passed away.There are no known children by this couple..Any information available on the J. Henrich Westerman family would be of great interest to me.It would help me determine how I should continue the search.It would also help answer another question.Presently, there are two "clans" of Westerman living in Ripley County.Although there is no known link between the two, the simularity in given names points to a possible link.The answer to that link lies in any additional information that can be found on J. Henrich..If you have any information that would be of benifit to me, please e-mail me at your earliest convenience..(Note:If anyone who has seen the list I submitted to the Family Archive of the LDS and has tried to contact me, please try again.Due to the nature of my work, I move around quite a bit, so it is possible that your letter either got lost in transit in the mail or it got lost in the shuffle of the move.) | The J.
