Pedigree for John Patrick Karl
Descendant Chart for Valentin Rentz
Descendant Chart for Jacob Karl
Catharine Elisabeth Rentz, daughter of Valentin Rentz and Maria Barbara Muller, was born on 24 April 1808 in Wurzweiler near Rockenhausen, Donnersbergkreis, Bayern (Bavaria), Germany.6,7,8,9,10
She was born around noon.10
Catharine Elisabeth Rentz was baptized on 25 April 1808 in Wurzweiler.10
Her godmother was Catherine Elisabeth Renz, daughter of Johann Renz and Barbara Stephan.10
Catharine Elisabeth Rentz and Johann Georg Ludwig Karl obtained a marriage license on 1 April 1831 in Wurzweiler.11,12,13,14 On 10 April 1831, Catharine Elisabeth Rentz married Johann Georg Ludwig Karl, son of Jacob Karl and Catharina Elisabeth Stollhofer, in Wurzweiler.15 Elisabeth and Johann had a son, John J., on 11 February 1832 in Wurzweiler.16 At first glance, the entry in the baptismal records for John J. Karl appears to indicate that Johann Karl may not, in fact, be John's father, as it states that John was the legitimate son of a Louis or Ludwig Karl and Elisabeth Renz. This opened up the possibility that Louis was a brother of Johann's who died, and that Johann then married his brother's widow. Such an occurrence was not uncommon. After locating both the marriage record for Catharine Elisabeth Renz and the baptismal record for Johann Karl, however, it seems more likely that Johann's full name was something like Johann Georg-Ludwig Karl. The marriage license for the union of Catharine Elisabeth Renz describes her husband as "Georg Ludwig Karl, aged 27 years, 8 months"--this takes him back to the same time as the baptism of Johann Karl, which would make it impossible for them to be brothers (unless they were twins). The final piece of corroborating evidence is that the Church entry of their marriage names Johann as "Johann Ludwig Karl". Also, a German researcher found no evidence of a death of a Ludwig Karl between the birth of John J. and the subsequent sibling Peter.17,18,19,13,15 Elisabeth and Johann had a son, Peter, on 11 April 1834 in Wurzweiler.20,21,22 Johann and Catharine had a daughter, Anna Maria, on 21 February 1836 in Wurzweiler.23,24 Elisabeth and Johann had a son, Jacob, on 2 February 1838 in Wurzweiler.25 Elisabeth and Johann had a son, Valentin, on 11 November 1839 in Wurzweiler.26,20,27,21,28 Elisabeth and Johann had a daughter, Catherine, on 13 December 1841 in Wurzweiler.29 On 8 February 1842, her daughter Catherine died at the age of 1 month and 26 days.30 Elisabeth and Johann had a daughter, Elisabeth, on 12 November 1842 in Wurzweiler.31 Johann and Catharine had a daughter, Catherine, on 19 May 1845 in Wurzweiler.32 Johann and Catharine had a son, Philip F., on 15 September 1848 in Wurzweiler.33,34 Catharine Elisabeth Rentz immigrated on 27 May 1850 to New York.35,2 Elizabeth was listed on 27 August 1850 as a household member living with Johann Georg Ludwig Karl on the 1850 US Federal Census of Buck Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, enumerated 27 August 1850. John was Elizabeth's husband and father of everyone else in the household: John Jr., Peter, Ann M. [Maria], Jacob, Valentine, Elizabeth, Catharine, and Phillip. They lived at dwelling number 451. Also living with the family was an 18-year-old girl named Barbara Renson; her surname is suspiciously close to the maiden name of John's wife, Elisabeth Rentz, and she might be Elisabeth's younger sister.36 Elizabeth Caroll was listed on 10 July 1860 as a household member living with John Caroll on the 1860 US Federal Census of Tuscarawas County (Sugar Creek Township), Ohio, enumerated 10 July 1860. John was Elizabeth's husband and the father of Peter, Jacob, Valentine, Elizabeth, Catharine, and Philip. Their oldest brother John Jr. must have been working elsewhere, and Ann Maria had either married or died. They lived at dwelling number 646. John's real estate was valued at $800, and his personal estate was worth $100.37,38,39 On 5 November 1865 her husband Johann died at age 62 in Canal Dover, Ohio, leaving Elisabeth a widow at 57 years old.40,41,5 On 3 January 1872 Elisabeth (along with John J. Karl, Jacob Karl, Valentin Karl and Jonathan Auman) received part of Johann Georg Ludwig Karl's estate. The handwritten document from Peter is very difficult to decipher with great accuracy, but it appears that Johann's widow Elisabeth received $573.06, his son John Karl perhaps as much as $175, his son Valentine about $200, and his son Jacob nearly $8. Peter paid himself $47.68 as "Commission to Administrator". Jonathan Auman, the father-in-law of Johann's son Peter, received $42. The money seems to have come mostly from the sale of land, although which plot of land in particular is not known at this time.42 Elisabeth was listed as "mother" in the 1880 US Federal Census, enumerated 1 June 1880, in the household of Peter Karl and Sarah, of Tuscarawas County (Dover Township), Ohio. They lived at an area of Dover Township populated by farmers, although a 29-year-old school teacher named Frederic lived three households away in the home of his father, which was large and/or wealthy enough to have a servant..43,44,45 On 20 March 1888, her son Valentin died of lung disease at the age of 48 years, 4 months and 9 days.40,46,47 Catharine Elisabeth Rentz died on 30 December 1897 in Canal Dover, at age 89.48,49,1,5 Catharine Elisabeth Rentz was buried in St. Joseph Cemetery, which is located in Dover, Ohio, buried with husband, Johann Karl.40 |
