Trying to find information on this Holthouse/Holthaus family that was living in Bainbridge, Dubois County, Indiana.

Widow: Margaret Agnes (?) Holthouse/Holthaus - Husband's name unknown.
She was born abt 1803-1805 in Germany. In the 1850 Census for Bainbridge, Dubois County, Indiana. She has remarried to Christopher Frass or Fratz in Dubois County, Indiana in 10 Aug 1847. She is living with Christopher Frass or Fratz who was born abt 1800 Germany and his daughter Catherine Frass or Fratz age 14 born in Germany. Also in the household are Margaret Agnes Holthouse's children: Henry Holthouse b. abt 1832 Germany age 18; Elizabeth Holthouse b. abt 1836 Ohio, age 14; and Mary Holthouse b. abt 1842 Indiana, age 8.

What I have been able to find the that her son: Henry Holthouse is Henry A. Holthouse/Holthaus b. 30 Oct 1830 Germany. He married Barbara J. Pfeffer b. Kentucky. They were married 25 Nov 1856 in Dubois County, Indiana. This family moved to Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky in the 1870's. They raised their children in Kentucky where their children married and had children.

The daughter Elizabeth Holthouse/Holthaus married Adolph Harter in Dubois County, Indiana on 14 Oct 1852. Adolph Harter died in 1865 from injuries from the Civil War and is buried in St. Joseph Church Cemetery. Children from this marriage are the following: Tracy Harter b. abt 1853 IN, Elizabeth Harter b. 1855 IN; Frank Harter b. abt 1857 IN; and Barbara Rosalia "Rosa" Harter b. 1863 IN. [This family is my family line].

The daugher Mary Holthouse/Holthaus b. abt 1842 Indiana or Ohio...Possibly married Henry J. Kunkler on 28 Aug 1866 Dubois County, Indiana. Little is known what happened to this Mary Holthouse/Holthaus. She was living with her mother and brother Henry and his wife Barbara and their two children: Margaret Holthouse age 3, and Joseph Holthouse age 1 in the 1860 Census Bainbridge, Dubois, Indiana.

After 1860 Census little is known about this family until 1880's where Henry A. Holthouse/Holthaus and his family is living in Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky.

I did find a marriage for Mary Elizabeth Harter to John Thomas Gratzer on 25 Jul 1876 in Louisville, Jefferson, KY. She is the daughter of Adolph Harter and Elizabeth Holthouse. Mary Elizabeth Harter and John Thomas Gratzer then moved to Bedford, Lawrence, Indiana where their first son was born in Mar 1880.

Would like to exchange information I have on this family...
