With NY/CT confusion of her's and her sister Christina's birthplace, it seems likely that they born in the part of NY that was ceded to CT in 1857. |

Tracing Jacob's whereabouts has presented something of a mystery. The children and the baptism of their first three children in Poughkeepsie, NY are evidence he was present 1852 through 1861. In the 1860 census Jacob, Elizabeth, and their first four children are found in New York City. His wife's 1880 census entry shows her as widowed, and he was also not present for the 1870 census. There's a family lore story that says Jacob and Elizabeth met on the boat to the U.S. in 1834. But 1834 is very early, considering their childrens' birthdates, unless they came over as children with their families. |

I'm not sure about the spelling of her maiden name. It may have been Coebel or Koeble; names that appear in the 1870 Shandaken, NY census. It is spelled Koebel on her death certificate and on the Shandaked fire roll. The 1870 census identifies Elizabeth as a mantua maker. What's is a mantua? It's a loose gown or cloak formerly worn by women. |

Generally, my German side lived in upstate New York, then moved to New York City with the decline of manufacturing work, and the city became more industrialized. However, Jacob and Elizabeth were upstate in 1857, then down in New York City in 1860, then Elizabeth and the children are found back upstate in 1870. Did Jacob pass away in NYC? What made Elizabeth leave the city, and move to Ulster County? Did she have other family up there?
