Narrative:

Rebecca E. Mims was born about 1829 in Christian Co., KentuckyG.4,5,6
     Her mother died between 1828 and Jun 1830, when Rebecca was an infant.13,14,15,16 She was probably the female age 5 to 10 listed in the household of her father, Linah Mims, in the 1830 Federal Census of Christian Co., KentuckyG.17
     Rebecca apparently moved to Caldwell Co.G, were her older brother, John, was living. He had moved there before 1830, and had prospered there. It seems likely that she and all her surviving siblings moved to brother John's household not long after 1830, perhaps after he married in the fall of 1831.17,18 She was probably the female age 10 to 15 listed in the household of her brother, John H. Mims, in the 1830 Federal Census of Caldwell Co., KentuckyG.19
     Rebecca married first D. D. Mitchell on 15 Aug 1849 in Caldwell Co., KentuckyG, with Rev. James W. Mansfield officiating.7
     She appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Caldwell Co., KentuckyG, in the household of Robert Livingston Cobb and Cornelia Barbour Mims, her sister and her husband.20,21
     No further record has been found that can be identified as being for Rebecca's husband. The fact that she and her infant son were living with her brother and his family a year after their marriage suggests he had died, but no record of his death has been found. No other record of a D. D. Mitchell of a likely age in Caldwell County has been found. There was a David D. Mitchell, born about 1824, living with his mother in Trigg County in 1850. But seems unusual Rebecca and he could have separated so soon after their marriage if this was her husband.22
     Rebecca married second John Eaker on 8 Mar 1859 in Eddyville, Lyon Co., KentuckyG. He was the widower of Harriet.8,9,10
     Rebecca and John appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Mayfield, Graves Co., KentuckyG, enumerated 29 Sep 1860, reporting real estate valued at $32,700 and personal estate of $1,800. Their daughter Lulye, his children by a prior marriage, Lynn and Martha, and her son by her prior marriage, David D. Mitchell, were listed as living with them, as are three young men who were apparently boarders: A. I. Payor, a merchant; James B. Fletcher, a carpenter; and Joel Cochran, a clerk. There were 14 slaves reported in the household, plus one belonging to Payor.23,24
     Rebecca and John appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Mayfield, Graves Co., KentuckyG, enumerated 7 Sep 1870, reporting real estate valued at $20,000 and personal estate of $12,000. Their children Lulye, Linah, and John were listed as living with them.25
     Rebecca and John appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Mayfield, Graves Co., Kentucky G, enumerated 17 Jun 1880. Their children Lulye, Linah, and John were listed as living with them.26
     Her husband died on 14 Apr 1885 in West Mayfield, KentuckyG.27
     Rebecca died on 27 Apr 1892, at her home, Mayfield, Graves Co., KentuckyG, at age ~63.11 She was buried on 28 Apr 1892 in City Cemetery, Mayfield, Graves Co., KentuckyG.12

Narrative:

William Frederick Siekman was born on 6 Jan 1840 in Spenge, Westfalen, PreußenG.4,5,6,7 He was baptized on 12 Jan 1840 in Evangelisch, Spenge, PreußenG.21
     Both his parents died, a month apart, from pneumonia, when he was 14 years old. He was then "bound out" to work for his keep. Later, he worked in a steel mill.22

Immigrating to the United States --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     William immigrated about 1867, settling in CincinnatiG.23,24,25,26 There was a "Fr. Siekmann" who arrived in New YorkG on 26 Nov 1866, aboard the Germanic from Hamburg, reporting his age as 25 and occupation as merchant.27 But that seems unlikely that was him as he filed an intention to become a citizen 10 Feb 1868 in Hamilton Co., OhioG, and he would not have been eligible to do that until he had resided in the United States for two years.28
     His baptismal name was Friedrich Wilhelm Siekmann but after his immigration to the U.S. he used simply William as is given name, and eventually "Americanized" the spelling of his surname to Siekman.29
     William married first Augusta Bohmeyer, daughter of Henry Bohmeyer and Anna Maria, posibly in Preußen, as no record of their marriage has been found in Cincinnati.8,9
     William and Augusta, with their daughter, Victoria, appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OhioG, in the household of her parents, Henry Bohmeyer and Anna Maria.30
     William was naturalized on 11 Sep 1872 in Hamilton Co., OhioG.31,32,33
     William and Augusta were divorced before 1878, when he remarried.8,10

A Move to Kentucky and a Second Marriage --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     He was reported to be a laborer in 1870, but then moved to Kentucky and became a farmer.34,35,36,37,38
     William married second Louisa Elisabeth Strother on 8 Aug 1878 in Freeman Ave. United Church of Christ, Cincinnati, OhioG. She was the widow of Bernard Bicknaver.11,12,13
     William and Louisa Elisabeth Strother lived on a farm outside in Burlington, KentuckyG, after they were married.22 They appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Burlington, Boone Co., Kentucky G, enumerated 21 Jun 1880. Their son Frederick was listed as living with them, as well as her children by a previous marriage, Emma, Henry, and Bernard Bicknaver. Also listed were Willie Siekman, age 5, identified as a nephew, and two German-born men identified as "servants." Since their occupations are shown as "laborer" it seems likely they were farm workers, rather than household servants.39
     In the 1880 census he reported he rented for a fixed amount 80 acres of tilled land, 60 of woodland, and 40 of other land, valued at $11,500. He had tools and implements worth $100, and $1,000 worth of livestock. He reported that he had spent $25 in repairing fences in the prior year, and two weeks of hired labor. He reported four horses, 31 milch cows which had dropped three calves and produced 2,000 lb. of cheese the prior year, one sheep, 20 swine, and 100 chickens that had produced 200 dozen eggs. He reported that he had produced 900 bushels of corn on 15 acres, 10 of oats on 10 acres, and 75 of apples, worth $75, on 75 trees on 2 acres. He had cut 18 cords of wood worth $55, for a total value of all products of $1,000.40
     His wife died on 11 Sep 1888.41,42

A Third Marriage --- Text Stolen from ReigelRidge.com !! ---


     William married third Wilhelmina Louise Wieman, daughter of Henrich Friedrich Wiemann and Anna Maria Catharine Charlotte Rothefeld, on 5 Feb 1890. She was the widow of Charles William Snyder and William Caspar Doering.14,15,16
     William and Wilhelmina Louise Wieman lived on the farm outside in Burlington, KentuckyG, about 1891 where he had lived with his previous wife, until about 1891, when they bought a farm near Heborn. They improved the house and barn, and planted an orchard, and then in Jan 1896 Mr. Winston, the seller, foreclosed on the mortgage and took the farm back. On 17 Feb 1896 they moved to a rented farm near Taylorsport, where they lived for 19 years, until it was sold. Then they bought a farm two miles west of Burlington, moving there 17 Feb 1915. They lived there until his death, and then she remained until she moved to live with her daughters in Feb 1923, renting the farm to Henry.22
     William and Wilhelmina appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Bullittsville, Boone Co., Kentucky G, enumerated 8 Jun 1900. Their children Clara Louise and Henry were listed as living with them, along with her two children by previous marriages, Cora Marie Snyder and Johanna Marie Doering, and his son Frederick by his previous marriage.3
     William and Wilhelmina appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Bullittsville, Boone Co., Kentucky G, at River Road, enumerated 25 Apr 1910. Their children Clara and Henry were listed as living with them.43
     William left a will dated 6 Dec 1915, in which he left all his real and personal property, after payment of his debts, to his wife, Wilhelmina Louise Wieman, for her life, then equally to "my children," naming Frederick, Clara, and Henry, and the surviving children of his wife by her two prior marriages, Cora Marie Snyder and Johanna Marie Doering.44
     He became an invalid with arthritis, and as a result his son Henry was not inducted into the army because he was the sole support of the family.22,45
     William died on 19 Sep 1918 at age 78.17,18,19 He was buried on 21 Sep 1918 in Walnut Hills Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OhioG.17,20
     His will was probated on 7 Oct 1918 in Boone Co., KentuckyG.44
