Looking for details regarding Heinrich Tecklenburg of Belleville, possibly a sibling of my ggg grandfather, Friedrich Wilhelm Tecklenburg. A Henry Tecklenburg served in the 32nd Infantry, Company "H" and in the 24th Infantry, Company "D", during the Civil War. I strongly believe that the Heinrich Tecklenburg of St. Clair County, IL was the man who served.

Heinrich Tecklenburg was born January 28, 1835 in Hanover, Germany, and died March 01, 1872 in Belleville Precinct, St. Clair County, Illinois. He married Johanna Bader June 06, 1865 in St. Clair County, Illinois. She was born September 06, 1838 in Germany, and died May 15, 1910 in O'Fallon, Illinois.

September 29, 1941, Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois {married Elizabeth Marie Schaedel July 27, 1888 in Shiloh Valley, St. Clair County, Illinois, daughter of Vincent Schaedel and Phillipina Schoenborn. She was born September 05, 1870 in Shiloh Valley, St. Clair County, Illinois, and died April 12, 1948 in Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois.}; Catharina Tecklenburg, b. March 17, 1867, Belleville Precinct, St. Clair County, Illinois; d. October 21, 1947, Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois {married Julius A Kunze February 23, 1888 in Mascoutah, St. Clair County, Illinois, son of Julius Kunze and Johanna Lehmann. He was born October 30, 1867 in Engelman Township, and died January 29, 1944 in St. Clair County, Illinois.}; Frederick J Tecklenburg, b. June 06, 1869, Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois; d. April 04, 1961, St. Louis, Missouri {atttorney, married Estelle ??}; Mathilda Tecklenburg, b. June 22, 1871, Belleville Precinct, St. Clair County, Illinois; d. January 05, 1943, Belleville, St. Clair County, Illinois {married Adolph Ohlendorf February 28, 1899 in St. Louis, Missouri, son of Henry Ohlendorf and ?? Schutte.

Thank you for contacting me regarding Henry Tecklenburg of Belleville. I do believe he served for the Union in the 32nd IL Infantry, Company "H" and in the 24th IL Infantry, Company "D", during the Civil War. Johanna Bader was his widow that applied for pension?

I traced the family of Henry Tecklenburg as a result of the name being so rare and the fact that my ancestor, Friedrich Wilhelm Tecklenburg, resided in Mascoutah about 10 miles west of Belleville in St Clair County. I'm not sure if Henry's family is related, but in my quest for the Tecklenburgs of St Clair County I have collected some data on Henry's family as I sorted out who belonged to whom...so I then put the info into my tree hoping that I could tie them together one day.

I have traced my Tecklenburg ancestry into Bückeburg, Schaumburg-Lippe, Germany. I engaged the Immigrant Genealogical Society in California to conduct a search of the Bückeburg Parish Records, which are in Old German Script and very difficult to decipher without knowledge of that script. 1835 baptismal records were searched and nothing for Henry was found.

Please send me a private note through the message service with your email so that I can share files, etc.

Thank you for your prompt reply to my posting. Unless, Henry Tecklinburg, who served in the 24th IL Infantry, Company D, was a polygamist, and I'm beginning to wonder :), I have his widow's pension application and Johanna Bader was not the widow of this Henry. Please contact me at Donnag@msn.com so that we are able to exchange further information. Thanks, so much!
