Penny, George and other Stoll Logan County Researchers, hello!

I was very excited to read your recent correspondence concerning the Roos family, as I have contradictory information about Mary Roos (Maria B. Roos), who married my great grandfather, Jacob C. Stoll, son of Erhard Sr.

I have been trying to identify her parents; what I have from my grandmother is that she was born in Kentucky and moved to Logan COunty as a young girl; her parents were John and Catherine; John was born in Wurttemberg. This seems to match Penny's group of Johannes m. Eva Katherine, although Mary/Maria isn't listed in her group of children. Of course, from another unidentified source, I have her father as Christian! Mary Roos was born Feb. 6, 1852, married Jacob C. Stoll Feb. 21, 1873 and died March 5, 1914 in Mitchell, SD. It is interesting that a generation later, Stolls and Rooses would intermarry again.

Another research, Ronald Balow of Wheaton who is connected through the Matthew Stoll/Gelbach line, also has Mary/Maria B. Roos born in Kentucky.

And George, I apoligize; I thought I had sent you the recent family information. I will send it to you in a separate e-mail, figuring no one but us is interested!

So my question, Penny and George, is: Johannes Roos m. Eva Katherine Stoll (b. 1830); is it Eva's birth date or Johannes?

Good to hear from you!

The history, Mt Pulaski 1936-1986, includes a bio for Carrie Stoll Leimbach, daughter of Jacob Stoll and Mary Roos. It reports that Mary Roos was born in Kentucky and came to Illinois as a young girl. The account was written by Nellie Leimbach, whom, as you know, is a granddaughter.
