Can send .pdf of data..

I think there might be data on some of the lateral names mentioned ^.


Bob,
I agree that Louis Conrad and L.C. Miehe are one and the same and a son of 
Carl Georg Miehe. Thanks for his wife's name--I had only Rose from the 
census. I am confused though about who Sophia Heumann is--I thought Carl 
George Miehe married the Henrietta Heumann who came to New Orleans on the 
same ship in  1857 and that Henrietta Heumann was the mother of L.C. Miehe.

This must be the L. C. Miehe (son of immigrants Carl Georg Miehe and Sophia
Heumann, sister of my great-grandma) who married Rosa Magdalene Sauerbrey.

Dear Paddy,

Misssouri State archives has online death cert. for a Louis Conrad Miehe.
His occupations is listed as St. Louis Furniture Workers Association.  His
father name Charles, mom Henriette.

The 1880 census with this circa 1807 Henry with and Catherine list Henry's
occupation as a retired carpenter.

The 1880 census with a Fredric Miehe, wife Rebecca lists his occupation as
farmer..and that he was born Prussia.  Rebecca born Indiana.

I think interesting that the Henry of  the  Henry/catherine Miehe couple
from Macoupin used to be a carpenter and the St. Louis Miehe's were
carpenters/furniture makers.  Perhaps this is a clue?

J b:
Thank you so much, particularly for the specific FHL references. I had
checked some but not nearly all of the ones you suggest. Very helpful.
Most of my information so far has come from census data in Macoupin County,
obits, and records of the old German Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Fortunately, when the church "disappeared", the original record books, in
German, were preserved by an existing church in Carlinville.
The church records were the only place where I found a clue linking the two
families. At the baptism of one of John Henry Frederick Miehe's children the
witnesses were Peter Lorenz (son-in-law of Henry Miehe and my ggfather) and
a Frau Wilhelmina Miehe (I'm relatively sure she was a dau-in-law of Henry
Miehe).
There were several other Miehe's in Macoupin County, Illinois and some in
St. Louis, Missouri, that I have been unable to connect in any way. But I
agree with you, there were so few Miehe and Mieher families in the US at the
time that proximity certainly suggests relationship.
Paddy
