3.	Burdin A. ?Bert? Johnson - bom February 27, 1893
4.	William ?Willie? Johnson - bom in November 1899
11.	Anna ?Maria? Magdalena Hausch - bom on June 11, 1835 in Jebenhausen,
Germany. She came to America with her two sisters and landed in New Orleans, LA, on May 25, 1852. The first record we have on her is found in the New Orleans Public Library ?card file? of marriages where ?Joseph Schleninger and Maria Hausch? apply for a license to marry on June 4, 1853. We next find her in the 1860 Census of Cincinnati (10th Ward, house #474/1276) Hamilton Co., Ohio, with ?Jos Schleininger,? age 41, born in France, Mary age 25, bom in ?Wurtemburg,? and one child, Mary age 5, bom in Ohio.
On December 2, 1866, ?Maria Schleininger? wrote a letter to her ?sister, brother-in-law, and mother.? The original was written in German and found in the home of Velma Heitzmann?s father, Joseph Zengarling. Highlights and deductions from the letter are:
1.	Her sister was Barbara Hausch, her brother-in-law was John Zengerling, and mother was Christina F. Hausch.
2.	Her husband and Barbara?s husband were soldiers (civil war - opposite sides).
3.	She had 3 children at the time, but one died at eleven weeks. She lost 5 other children over the age of one in one year.
4.	Husband out of work, everything very expensive, and she is in poor health.
5.	In 1866, she has one girl, age 11 (1855), one boy, age 6 (1860) and one boy, age 2 (1864).
6.	Has not heard from her sister, Christiana (Asher), and there was ill feeling between Christiana and the rest of the family.
7.	Give your letters to Robert (her brother) and have him send it to me through ?Joseph Schleininger, Cincinatti, Ohio.?
8.	She says hello to you, mother, sister, brother, brother-in-law, and aunt. This unnamed aunt is possibly who they stayed with when the three sisters first came to America. We do not know if it was on her mother?s or father?s side of the family.
9.	This tells us her father was dead by 1866.
In the 1870 Census of Hamilton Co., Ohio, house # 734-1179, we find her again as ?Mary Schleneinger? age 35, bom in ?Wurtemburg? with husband,
Joseph age 51, bom in France and two sons - John age 10, and Joseph age 2, both bom in Ohio. After this record, we have been unable to find out what happened to her. She had at least 3 children to reach maturity:
A.	Mary Schleininger - bom in 1855 as found in the 1860 census. What appears to be her is in the 1870 Census of Cincinnati, Ward 14, as ?Mary Schleininger? age 15, servant, in the home of ?G. Mosler? and his family. No further information on her.
