My husband's family is descended from Mary Ann Himebrook and John S. Simons of Greene County. Mary Ann was his second wife and together they had 10 children, 2 of which died in infancy. She is the daughter of William and Louisa Neal Himebrook, who originated from Prussia; Mary Ann at least was born there, too. At the time of the 1860 Census, they lived in Stockton Township/Linton Post Office. These are the ones I extracted from that census:
