FatherHerman Johan Friedrich MEYER (1762-)
MotherCatherine Marie STAGGEN (1766-)
Misc. Notes
Ancestry.com in May 2020, is confusing but suggests the following.
wife #1 .. Catherine Marie Margaretha Engle Tasse, born 1779 married about 1808 and died April 13, 1813.
daugher Marie Margarethe Engle born 1804
son Johann Hermann FRIEDRICH born 1809
son Hermann CHRISTIAN Heinrich born April 7, 1813. His mother died six days later.
wife #2 .. Gerd married Anne Marie Stagge (1787-1826) — or Anne Marie Meyer (1789-1853) — on July 15, 1813, two months after Catherine’s death. Anne Marie Stagge may have died about 1826.
son Johann Heinrich born January 1, 1815
son Heinrich Fredrich WILHELM born June 11, 1824.
son Herman Friedrich HEINRICH “Hy” born Feb 26, 1826.
wife #3 .. or perhaps he married Anne Marie Meyer about 1823. If that were true, she would be the mother of the latter two children above born in 1824 and 1826. Ancestry.com says Gerd married Anne Marie Meyer in about 1827.
Not all the conflicting information above can be true. Some think there were just two wives and that Anne Marie Stagge and Anne Marie Meyer are the same person. So I’ve adjusted some dates and listed it that way, while welcoming corrections from any source.

Misc. Notes
Gerd Gaebe was a “heuerling” meaning he was a poor hired farmhand who never owned his own land but worked for others, often under humble conditions.
In May 2020, a reference at ancestry.com raises questions about Gerd’s marriages and children, shown in the three identical entries for three wives. It also suggest two dates for Gerd’s own death .. November 11, 1830, and January 12, 1862. This information seems unreliable.
Another source says nothing about Gerd’s first daughter mentioned above. However it lists two sons, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (b. 1809) and HERMANN CHRISTIAN HEINRICH (b. 1813), who were born to his wife CATHARINE, who died in 1813, shortly after the birth of their second son. And it says Gerd soon married again, this time to ANN MARIE STAGGE, who bore him three more sons, JOHANN HEINRICH (b. 1815) and HEINRICH FRIEDRICH (b. 1824), HERMAN FRIEDRICH HEINRICH (b. 1829), though it says Ann Marie died in 1826 before the third one was born. Then this source says Gerd had a third wife named ANNE MARIE MEYER, whose birth and marriage dates match those of ANN MARIE STAGGE. This information seems unreliable.
All the above is contradicted at familysearch.com, the Mormon Church’s vast genealogy site, which suggests the second and third wives above are the same person.
Yet aother source says this ANNE MEYER was born about 1795 in Germany, married Gerd on July 1, 1813, and died in Germany Jan 22, 1853.
What to make of all this? Awaiting clarification from someone, I have arbitrarily and temporarily listed Catharine as his first wife (three children) and Ann Marie Mayer as his second wife (three more children).

An extensive GAEBE genealogy which has just reached me seems to include a significant error.
---It says Gerd had a grandson named FREDERICK DAVID (b. 1838) by his first son, Johann Friedrich.
---It also says Gerd had a grandson named HEINRICH FRIEDRICH DAVID (b. Feb. 21, 1838) by his second son, Hermann Christian Heinrich.
Most likely these two grandsons are the same person as the genealogy says they married the same woman. The first grandson’s name, FREDERICK DAVID, is likely a shortned and Anglicized version of the second, HEINRICH FRIEDRICH DAVID. And FREDERICK DAVID’S daughter LOUISA and HEINRICH FRIEDRICH DAVID’S daughter-in-law, ANNA WILHELMINA LOUISA GAEBE, are likely the same person because they married the same man and are found elsewhere in the lineage of HENRIETTA HOHLT.
Therefore, once again awaiting clarification from somewhere, I have arbitrarily and temporarily ommitted any mention of FREDERICK DAVID GAEBE and of his two children.
