Talk about finding a female Waldo.
Well that's about as hard as it gets to find something about the Fehring who found our Mary at Galena or Jackson county, Iowa before they wed. Also, I never found a Mary Meyer on the census in 1870. She was there a short time. First because I wasn't sure if she was the oldest Mary or the youngest. Plus she may have had to have the name Catherine or Elisabeth too. One is not always sure which name they used.
Then too, nothing fits exactly with a lot of pieces of research available about the Fehring family in United States It's just that the pieces don't all fit together as of yet, that prove anything. I'll share some of the information I have. Eventually something will fall into place.
I don't really know where Johan B. Fehring or Johann D. Fehring originated before Jo Davies county in Illinois. I know little about the few Fehrings that once lived at Jackson county, Iowa. And very little about the Mary Fehring who owned land in the same area that Fred Meyer squatted. Records did show he was considered her Tenant. They were seeking title to that land through the supreme courts. I share this with you because someone suggested theI Galena Illinois Fehrings came from Ohio.
Those listed below are all taken from ancestry.con census.
Keep in mind that we had two Mary Meyer born in Germany, who could have married a Fehring at Galena area. And one of them stayed in germany and married a Schmobel in the shipping business. Unless it was a stepsister that married the Schmobel.
1. Katharina Maria Elisabeth. - October 24, 1839,
2. Maria Katharina - October 27, 1847.
My thoughts heavily lean towards Mary # 2
I dont think this Mary born 1853 listed first below works for me. And not possible for them to have been married already at 1880 for 27 years. Maria was born at oldendorf or Eichdorf. And if the Mary Fehring were to fit into the shoes of the "Montana Mary Fehring" she would have no previous children. Two would have been Else and her eldest, Wilhelm not born until 1875 . Already living in Montana by 1880. So for three or more reasons I think we can cancel out this family.
