She emigrated to the United States in 1855 with her parents and 3 younger sisters, arriving in New York September 18th on the Rebecca, sailing from Bremen.^[2]

Catharine married Frederick Eise 12 Sep 1856 in Crawford County, Ohio.^[3] They had 5 sons and 1 daughter^[4][5][6]:

• Frank, b. abt 1857

Research Notes

• The Peace Lutheran Church record of her death/burial^[7] and her obituary^[4] both place Catharine's birth 2 February 1826, but the Hohensolms church record of her birth/baptism^[1] says 2 January 1826.
• The Peace Lutheran Church burial record for Catharine's mother Margaretha appears to say her maiden name was Rensch (the handwritting is challenging...).^[8] However, Hohensolms church records clearly say her surname was Christ.
• Catharine's death does not appear to be recorded in the Crawford County, Ohio death records.
• Catharine does not appear in the Crawford County, Ohio probates index.
