Gessner Family Fremont, Ohio

My g-g-g-grandmother was Anna Gessner who married Peter Recktenwald in the mid 1700s.They were likely born in the 1730s.The first recorded date I have involves my g-g-grandfather Jacob Recktneald's birth in 1765 in Winterbach which now the Saarland.
My g-grandfather Jacob Recktenwald Jr. b.1791 emigrated to Buffalo in 1834 and started our line here in Buffalo, Fremont O., Louisville Ky, with ties to Hornell and Pittsburgh.His son Charles Peter Recktenwalt married Helen Cramer of Fremont O. where we also have many ties on both sides of my grandparents' families.
I have no other data on Anna Gessner or any other Gessners but our families seem to have a lot of common names, dates, and places.
