She was born 1818, and died 1903.  He came from Germany and I don't go back any further.  Do know they gathered to go West with the first Mormans, Joseph Smith.  It is believed that he was murdered along the way, possibly in Illinois.  Know they did stop for a time in Iowa City before all moving on toward Salt Lake area.  Our relatives stopped and turned around in Wyoming as was recalled for didn't like all negative actions against the Mormans.  Came all the way back to Oxford and settled there.

 He married Suzanna Maria “SUSAN” HAHN. She was born, 7 Nov 1818, in Bavaria and died 18 July 1903. Birth and death dates from Oxford Cemetery.  Ref: Family trees on Ancestry.com

The family tree on Ancestry.com lists her name as Suzanna M. “Susan” Greur, with no reference to where the name came from.  Susan Gengenheimer was found on cemetery record.  Mary was listed as her name in the 1850 census, so her middle name is probably Mary or Maria in Germany.
