I'm looking for information about Richard H. Renneker and his family.

RICHARD H. RENNEKER was one of six children of FREDERICK (or Friedrich) Renneker (~1787-1860s). His mother's name is unknown. His siblings were MARGARET, GARRETT HENRY, ELIZA, HERMAN JOHN, and CHARLES.

He married CAROLINE (maiden name unknown). They had at least five children, as follows:

MARGARET (MAGGIE) b. ~1843 in MIssouri
EMMA b. ~ 1864 in Missouri
MINNIE b. ~ 1866 in Missouri
CAROLINE (CALLY) b. ~1869 in Missouri
GEORGE b. ~1872 in Kansas

Richard Renneker appears in the following censuses that I have found so far:

In hopes someone else is has information to share on this line,
