E.	Louise “Lou” Nuskern - born in New Orleans on August 26, 1867 and died there on July 24, 1948. She has a headstone in Metairie Cemetery. Family said she never married nor had any children.
F.	Mary E. “May” Nuskern - bom in 1870 and died on March 24, 1893 as listed on her headstone in Metairie Cemetery. She apparently married a man by the name of “Sheffield” as this is what is listed on her headstone. Family does not remember hearing of her having any children. In the July 31, 1889 issue of the Mississippi Enterprise, Summit, MS, we find her and her sister “Lou Nuskems” visiting “her family, Jacob Heitzmann.”
XIII.	Johann Georg “George” Riehlmann - bom on May 16, 1837 in Oberweiler im Tal, Germany and baptized in nearby Hinzweiler. His descendants will be discussed shortly.
XIV.	Maria Elizabeth Riehlmann - bom in Oberweiler on April 26, 1839 and baptized the next day in Hinzweiler. She married Johannes Ulrich on April
16,	1861 in Oberweiler.
Anna Maria "Mary" Henecko, wife of George Riehlmann, was born on March 11, 1841 and baptized the next day at St. Nikolaus Catholic Church in Bellheim, Germany. She was bom in 1843 in Bavaria, Germany according to the
1880	Pike County, MS census. This census also states both of her parents were from Bavaria. Her obituary notice in the Times Democrat newspaper of New Orleans, April 1, 1906, p. 2, says she died on March 31, 1906 at 12:25 p.m., and she was 63 years old, native of Germany, and resident of this city for fifty years. If she was 63 at death in 1906, that would put her year of birth at 1843. If this is accurate, she was living in the United States for fifty years at her time of death, and she would have come to this county around the year 1856 or about the age of 13. We have now found a record of her arriving in New Orleans on November 4, 1857 on the ship,
R.L. Gillchrist, captioned by William Hewes. They sailed from the port of LeHarve, France. She is listed as “Maria Henka,” from “Baden” (which we now know is incorrect), female, and age 16. There does not seem to be anybody on board whom she is related to or traveling with.
Mary and her husband's death are also recorded in the Jacob Heitzmann Family Bible, now in the possession of Robert J. Heitzmann of Bay St. Louis, MS. The apparent correct spelling of the name is “Henecko.” Some records have it spelled Henico, Henicko, Hendicko, Hinicou, Hinderco, Hindker, etc. It seems that George Riehlmann's wife went by the name “Mary” most often, while on George’s Will, her baptism record, and other records, her first name was Anna and the middle name was Mary or Maria. Because she preferred her middle name over Anna, we will identify her as Anna Maria "Mary" Henecko. She is buried in an unmarked grave next to her husband in the Masonic Cemetery in New Orleans according to her
