Notes:

Horsch - "Henry Horsch was born in Baden (Germany) about 1819. His first wife, Barbara was born in Baden also in 1825.  She is listed in the June 7,1870 Federal census and can't be found after that date. Henry died in 1899. Their son, John Horsch, married my cousin, Jennie Morrison..they later moved to California where they are buried.  I am sure that Henry and Barbara are John's parents."  February 2010, from Carolyn Gutzmer (Note: this info. from Carolyn was edited by the site coordinator, S. Ferrall on 8/31/2023 following confirmation (from Henry's obituary) that the 2 gravestones identified only as Father & Mother, are Henry & Barbara Horsch.)
