My great-grandfather, HENRY O'BRIEN,lived in Winnebago Co. in 1860 as a farm laboror with a Blaisdell family. He was 29 years old.

Records indicate he was born in Alberta, Canada about 1829. I can't verify that at this time.

He enlisted in the Union Army on 8, Aug. 1862 in Cherry Valley. He mustered out, 10 June, 1864: Nashville,TN

Dear Rosemary,

I was looking back over the guest book on my web page and found your post there.. At the time I put the page up we had VERY LITTLE information on the Renesch family... I still have very little, but I was able to find my Great-Grandmother's (Francisca (Renesch) O'Brien/Ayers) family and for the first time learned her mother's name was Caroline Elizabeth (Sengeler) Westemeier-Renesch.

We found that Caroline was married twice and had children by both husbands..
Caroline was born in *Loraine, Baden, Germany

Her first husband was John Westemeier (He was a police officer in Cincinnati) and they had 4 kids;
FNU Westemeier b:
George Westemeier b: 1866 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio
John Westemeier b: 1869 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio
Casper Westemeier b: 1871 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio

Her second husband (my line) was ;
Henry Jacob Renesch. b: 1847 in *Loraine, Baden, Germany
1880 - Henry Renesch was a machine hand living at 14 Moore
1890 - Carrie, Widow of Henry was living at 61 Flint St
They had four kids also;
Francisca Renesch b: Jan 1878 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio (my GGrand)
Laura Renesch b: 1880 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio
Joseph Renesch b: Jan 1882 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio
Benard Renesch b: Jan 1882 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio
Joseph and Benard were twins. Never married and both died young... one when he was 21 and the other died when he was 23..

I hope this might be the same family you have information for...

Came across your website at rootsweb. have been searching for links to my great great maternal grandparents Thomas & Mary (Mangan) O'Brien. havent had much luck though... I guess I should count myself lucky that I found them, I like your question regarding born out of time, I always felt that way. when i was a very young boy I had vivid dreams from some far off place...
my family line is as follows "thomas & mary obrien of ireland had my great grandmother Mary O'brien born in Ohio who married Francis Patton who in turn had my grandmother Mary Patton...and then my mom
what strikes me as starnge is the fact that my family line was huge at one time but now there isnt....feels kinda lost

enjoyed your website..

best wishes
Juho
