Charles "Karl" Moskop 1840-1907, son of Conradus Moskop

Charels "Karl" Moskop 1840-1907 son of Carl Joseph Moskop and Catharine Schmidt, married Margaretha Merlenbach 04 Mar 1862 at Madonnaville, Monroe County, Illinois. It was a double wedding with Margarethas sister Frances.
Karl and Margaretha had 7 children. All except Frank (Frances H Moskop) are buried at Madonnaville Cemetery in Monroe Co Ill. Frank was the only one to live to adulthood and have his own family. I dont know where he is buried. If anyone reading this blog know, please leave a comment.

Margaretha died Jan 1873, and Karl married Magdelena Kipping in May 1873. Witness to this marriage is Lorenz Moskop and his wife Maria. Lorenz came over on the same ship as Karl, but I have not been able to figure out his relation. I would have to assume they are cousins, but would love to find out for sure. Lorenz is the son of Lorentus who was born 1795 in Ruebenach Germany, which is the same place as Conradus, Karls father. I do not know any further than Lorentus on that line.

Karl and Magdelena had 8 children, 3 of whom lived to adulthood, which are John Peter Moskop, Magdelena who marries John Harbaugh, and Leo Moskop. All 8 of their children are buried in Madonnaville cemetery.
