Misc. Notes
A photo of Hanna’s tombstone shows her name as ANNA, her birthdate as Sept. 10, 1821 and spells her name SAUKEL, not ZAUKEL. Other sources say she was born Sept. 10 or September 20, 1831. A 1900 US Census record calls her Barbre, born 1831, and arrived in the US in 1851.
Familysearch.org says Hanna was born Sept 10, 1831, in Kleinlangheim, Kitzingen, Bavaria. One wonders how and when in those days she and William would have met since Kleinlangheim was some 250 miles from Dielingen. It wasn’t after both had come to America, because a source says her husband came to America as a young man “with his bride-to-be” and that they were married three years later in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Perhaps someone can explain this uncertainty.

Misc. Notes
Heinrich Friedrich WILLIAM is a half-brother of Herman CHRISTIAN Gaebe. He came to America in 1851 with his father's brother or half brother and his bride-to-be. In the 1880s he came to New Orleans, then St. Louis, and then Addieville, Illinois, where he was a farmer and livestock dealer. His son Hy Jr. (Heinrich John Gaebe) had come to Addieville earlier to work on Friedrich Gaebe’s farm.
A Google Map search [March 2011] shows William Gaebe's birthplace of Dielingen to be about 20 miles northeast of the city of Osnabrück and 25 miles northwest of the city of Minden. Dielingen looks like a tiny village, even today.
