  • Jacob married Christiana Ohl, daughter of John Ohl and Margaret.10,11,12
  • Jacob died on 13 Sep 1857 at age ~40.13

Christiana Ohl1,2,3

#3932, (1820 - 1893)
Family Explorer

Parents

  • Father: John Ohl
  • Mother: Margaret

Key Events:

  • Christiana Ohl was probably born on 7 Mar 1820 in Pennsylvania. Both the date and place of birth are less than clear. Her name was sometimes recorded as Chrissie Ann, and a baptismal record found for that name shows the date as 7 Mar 1820. The age on her tombstone computes to a birth date of about 21 Mar 1821, a perplexing difference. Contemporary records say she was born in Pennsylvania, but the family much latter reported she was born in Germany though that seems unlikely to be correct.4,5,6,7,8
  • Christiana married first Jacob K. Riegel, son of Jacob Riegel.9,10,11
  • Christiana married second Abraham Clemens, son of Peter Clemens and Sophia Kramer, Bet Jun 1880 and 1883.2,12,13
  • Christiana died on 27 Jun 1893 at age 73.14,15
  • She was buried in Paradise Reformed Lutheran Church, Turbotville, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania.14
Christiana also appears in our Family History Section where there is much more information about her.
