We have not traced a definite connection but as there are so few folk with the surname and he like ours all seem to originate in the Hesse region of Germany then he is a good candidate. <br /><br />There is a lot more about him now on the internet. He served in the NY state Assembly 1880 and NY State Senete 1881. There are letters to and from Roosevelt on line.<br /><br />He served in the Civil War for a NY regiment. He also was involved in something I know nothing about, we did not do much US history in school, called the Platt-Conkling trouble and was "one of the 29 stalwarts who stood by the "easy boss". I will need to look that up.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me that I can work out relationships on ancestry , silly me, sometimes you don't see what is right in front of you!Blodwyninexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852174180640555041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-2494307347991794292015-02-16T13:12:51.888-05:002015-02-16T13:12:51.888-05:00This chart helps sometimes.....
