Johann Heinrich Niemann, Germany & Ohio
Johann Heinrich "Henry" Niemann was born in Hannover in 1812.He came to America sometime between 1842-48 as a son Frederick was born in Germany in 1842 and another son Heinrich Wilhelm was said to have been born in Cincinnati, OH in 1848 or 1849.(my ancestor)Henry's wife supposedly died nine days after Heinrich Wilhelm's birth. Her name unknown.Henry remarried a Mary Deckenbrock/ Tickenbraugh who had a daughter named Wilhemina born 1848. The family moved to Monroe County, OH around 1852 where they remained except for Frederick who enlisted in the Civil War in Bartholomew County, IN.He died in Clermont Co. OH in 1897.A "cousin" Charles Niemann was executor of his estate.Some of the family said the Niemanns were Dutch and that Henry married Mary in Holland. They also thought Mary's name was Cook but church records say otherwise. To explain some of the confusion, Could family have migrated from Holland?Did this family live in Cincinnati before moving to Monroe County?What was Charles Niemann's connection?Who was Henry's first wife and mother of oldest two sons?Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
