Marjorie, my great granmother is Mary Esau, wife of Frank Vogt. On a 1900 census for Hamilton County, Farmers Valley precint, Frank Vogt and Mary Esau Vogt are shown on the same page as Anna Esau, and children, Peter, Frank Cornelus, John and John's wife Elizabeth.
My Mary Esau is shown as being born Apr 1880, and an immigrant of Russia.
This Anna is is shown as immigrating in 1884 from Russia, an as a widow. Do you have any information to connect my Mary Esau Vogt to this Anna, and is this the same family you're dealing with?
