Looking for family of George Rauch and Eva Saul/Sall
They immigrated from Hesse Darmstadt in 1834 through Baltimore, but settled right away in St. Clair Co., IL. He was b. about 1791, she was b. about 1795. They were married in Hesse Darmstadt about 1812. He died before the 1850 census and Eva was still in St. Clair Co. Two of their sons went on to OR where they died.

I did find the baptismal record of their youngest daughter, Margaretha. She was born in Ober Klingen, Starkenburg, Hesse-Darmstadt. I am still looking for a connection to the many Saal/Rauch families in this area that intertwine.
I found them! This family came from Wiebelsbach in Hesse-Darmstadt. I found some wonderful German cousins who were able to collaborate more records after I found the above reference. This is so exciting.
