Hi,
Sorry for the confusion.  The marriage date should read 1778, not 1878. 
This is between Johan Christiaan Herzog and Maria Charlotta Kalemeyer.  His 
son spelled his last name Her(t)zog.
Second- I got the spelling Haijen from the origin Dutch script.  I can see 
how the spellings can be confusing.  Thank you for your help. I'll be sure 
to cover all my bases on the spelling.  I was able to find the history of 
Hannover on the internet.  Very interesting to read how many times Hannover 
changed hands around the time my ancestor lived.  Thanks again.
Norma
