     She was probably the female age 15 to 20 listed in the household of her father, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Rothefeld, in the 1840 Federal Census of Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., Ohio.18

Children:
     Children with Henrich Friedrich Wiemann

Edward appears only in the 1870 census, which does not state relationships, and not in 1880, when he would have been 14, nor has he been found in later records. He's not listed with their other children in Louise Fenker's account, which suggests either he was not their child, or he didn't survive. He does not appear in the family plot at Walnut Hills Cemetery with the other children who died young unless he was the Johann H. E. who died 31 Mar in an un-recorded year between 1858 and 1879, at age 6 years 8 days.41,42,26,43

  18. [S765] Johann Heinr. Rodefels household, 1840 U.S. Census, Hamilton Co., Ohio, his name and the number and ages of the members strongly suggest this is his household. Since the official effective date of this census was 1 Jun 1840, they should not have been included since we believe they immigrated in Aug 1840. However, the 1840 census was supposed to be completed in nine months, but widespread delays required legislation to extend the interval to 18 months. These delays, and the likelihood that Charles Cist, the enumerator, did not speak German, make it likely that the family was included even though they arrived after the official date.
