My Marter line starts in Germany and comes to the US and settles in Vincennes, In. Family oral history said that Joseph
Marter and two brothers came to
America. One brother went west and one to the south. Joseph
Marter was born 19 Mar 1820 at Bleinheim, Alsace,
Prussia. Married Elizabeth
Schmidt on 26 Apr 1854 in Vincennes,
Indiana and died 2 Jan. 1900 in Vincennes,
Indiana. They had 10 Children. Mary was Elizabeth daughter that she bought to this marriage. Pauline Barbara "
Polly" who married

Wolfe, John James who married Matilda
Convery(He was my Grandfather), Ella Helen who married unknown

Emil Charles who married
Cora R. Reel, Christine Laura who married
Lucas Jansen, Katie A. who married William E. Smith, Anna M. who married Samuel A. Adams, (Katie & Anna were twins) & Joseph Francis who married
