I believe his wife was Elizabeth [May be "Eva," as per BB's BH&R staffer Margaret Kaiser --- editor] Fleischacker although in the census I see her name as Mary. I'm told the family was also tied into the Tschida family. I know one of John's daughters married a Tschida, but I had the impression that the relationship went beyond that. I have not been able to determine what town they came from. I suspect that John's father was Joseph, but I have nothing except the proximity of their homes and their relative ages to base that on.
