There are two lines of the Rauch surname in our family tree. One begins with Johann Peter (Sr.) Rauch and leads to Maria Barbara* Rauch (August 2, 1809 - October 6, 1899), wife of Heinrich (Henry) Pfeiffer (August 18, 1805 - February 25, 1887). The second line begins with Hans Rauch and leads to Agnes Rauch (November 6, 1670 - ?). These two lines eventaully link back together, indirectly in the person of Maria Barbara* Rauch (August 2, 1809 - October 6, 1899). It is likely that the two Rauch lines were related but our data are not sufficient to establish the linkage.

Maria Barbara Rauch (August 2, 1809 - October 6, 1899) was from a town close to Lindenfels but in a different parish. The marriage record said she had a child before the marriage. The researcher found the birth of the illegitimate child, Johann Peter Pfeiffer, in the records of her parish. The

1850 census of Monroe County, Ohio shows Henry Piper married to Barbara, both born in Germany; also a son Peter and George born in Germany. Heinrich (Henry) Pfeiffer married Maria Barbara Rauch (August 2, 1809 - October 6, 1899) on March 12, 1831 in Lindenfels, Hessen, Germany. The couple eventually had 11 children, one of whom was Eva Pfeiffer (August 18, 1840 - February 18, 1919), the author's great great grandmother.

The second line of the Rauch family begins with Hans Rauch and the surname truncates with the marriage of Agnes Rauch (November 6, 1670 - ?) on June 12, 1691 to Barthel Steinmann.

The Steinmann family entered the family tree at two points with two successive marriages into the Griesser family. The first of these two marriages was Elisabetha Steinmann to Hans Eberhard Griesser on April 17, 1695 in Schlierbach, Hessen, Germany. The second was the marriage of Elisabetha Steinmann (1698/99 - ?) to Johannes Griesser (April 17, 1695 - ?) on December 29, 1721 in Schlierbach, Hessen, Germany. The first Elisabetha Steinmann who married Hans Eberhard was the mother-in-law of Elisabetha Steinmann (1698/99 - ?) who married Johannes Griesser (April 17, 1695 - ?). Our data are not sufficiently complete to establish that the two Elisabetha Steinmann wives were related, but they almost certainly would have been. The first Steinmann line begins with George Steinmann.
