  • Notes 
    • Magdalena had three children.

      The family appears on the 1870 census of Elm Grove as farmer Christian Oesch, 43, Bavaria; Mary, 30, France; Madelaine, 18; Christian, 16; John, 14; Catharine, 11; Joseph, 7; Barbara, 3; and Mary, 1 (all children born in Illinois). Presumably the older children Madelaine, Christian, and John were born to Christian's first wife Magdalena Zehr.
