Johann (called Jon) Heynen, farmer and brewer in Ronsdorf, Germany. Born 1806 in Ronsdorf, died there in 1848. Married Feb. 3, 1831 to Rosalie Charlotte Bocks (born March 2, 1812, died in 1855 in Newark, NJ. Rosalie was a daughter of Johan Bocks and Charlotte Dahlmana. Widowed, Rosalie moved to US in 1849 with children John Herman Heynen, (our great, great grandfather) who was born in 1839 in Ronsdorf, Germany and died January 17, 1880 in Warrensburg, MO. John Herman Heynen married 'Mary' born in Dublin, Ireland. We are looking for Mary's last name and heritage. My great grandmother (Charlotte) was born to this union in 1863 in Brooklyn, NY, and died in Warrensburg, MO in 1958 or 1959. Any information on 'Mary's' maiden name will be appreciated.

Hi Robert
In regards to your query about Mary and Dublin, I don't Know anything But I do have a ggggrandfather born Dublin Ireland 1841 named Charles Augustus Heynen who married a Mary born 1845 england. I am trying to find the name of Charles parents, does any of this sound familiar.
