Doctor Grandma

addressing my kids here:

Albert Graul is your dad’s grandpa Graul.

 

His parents were Henry and Mary (Schneider) Graul.

 

Mary’s given name was Maria.

 

Maria’s parents were: JOHN and ANN (Barber) Schneider.

 

In the 1870 census, Maria is 16 years old, as she was born in 1854.

 

JOHN, her father, was 64 years old in 1870. ANN, her mother, was 39.

 

Maria had an older sister, Mary, who was 22; and an older sister Martha, in 1870.

This means that when the first child, Mary, was born, the father, John (Johann, actually), was 42 yrs. old and the mother, Ann, was 17.  Johann was born in Germany. So Albert Graul was German on both sides……. from the GRAUL side and also his MOTHER’s (Schneider) side. Ann Elizabeth Barber was born in NEW YORK.

In the 1850 census, a “Calvin D. Barber” and his wife Nancy, lived next door to Johann and Ann, & they had their 1st daughter, Mary. (Maria was not yet born.) I’m guessing Calvin and Nancy are Ann’s parents. CALVIN and JOHN (Johann) ARE MILLERS. Johann 2o yrs. later has property valued at $20,000, in 1870………..
