13. Adam John2 HENRICH (Clara1 SCHWARTZ, Joannis AdamiA) (#3048) was born in Germany 2 NOV 1858.(18) Adam died 10 DEC 1939 in Defiance, Defiance Co., OH, at age 81. His body was interred 13 DEC 1939 in Riverside Cem., Defiance Co., OH.

He married Barbara HOFFMAN 1889 in OH. 1900 census indicates 1890 as md year? (Barbara HOFFMAN is #3049.)

Barbara was born 29 NOV 1867 in Minichburg, Bavaria. Barbara was the daughter of Johannes HOFMANN and Anna Marie HAHN. Barbara died 3 AUG 1938 in Defiance, Defiance Co., OH, at age 70. Her body was interred 5 AUG 1938 in Riverside Cem., Defiance Co., OH. I found a Johannes Hofmann & Anna Marie Hahn who had a dau Barbara Hofmann born on the same date and was christened in a catholic church but acording to Josephine DeHaus Barber she indicated that Barbara hoffman Henrich was not a catholic? also this birth was listed in Jagstkrers, Wuerttemberg. I also found a Phillipi Hoffmann & Paulinae Tetsch who had a dau on 28 Nov. 1867 in Katholisch, Herxheim Landau, Pfalz, Bayern, again the catholic baptism is a concern. Did she come to the USA with her parents or someone else?

Adam immigrated to destination unknown 1887.(19) I find that a Adam Henrich was on the ship Fulda from Bremen, and arived on 16 JAN 1886, arived in NY and it list Adam as 27.

When Adam was age 32 and Barbara HOFFMAN was age 23 they became the parents of Alfred John HENRICH 17 JAN 1891 in Richland Twp., Defiance Co., OH. When Adam was age 34 and Barbara HOFFMAN was age 25 they became the parents of Karl HENRICH 6 FEB 1893 in Defiance Co., OH.. Baptised as Adamus Henrich, he was the son of Phillipi & Clarae (Swartz) HENRICH [note: Adam's mother was a sister to Anna Marie Umbs of Defiance, Adam's mother became ill. She instructed Adam to go to the USA (Ohio) and go to live with his uncle & aunt John N. & Anna Marie (Swartz) Umbs in Defiance Co. if she died. That is why he came to Ohio It is believed that his sister Klara Kinchel remained in germany.

In the 1900 Highland Twp., Defiance Co., OH Census he has a Howard Kraft born Oct, 1876 age 23, immigrated 1898, living with him as a boarder whom is a German immigrant. Not sure if Howard Kraft is related to Adam Henrich? Grandma Jo (DeHaus) Barber always insisted that Al and Karl Henrich were her second cousins. Is is possible that Howard Kraft is a cousin to Adam Henrich or first cousin one times removed? What happened to Howard Kraft?

Was there brothers and or other sisters to Adam Henrich?
