Person:Appolonia Unknown (8)

APPOLONIA is a given name found most commonly in the German speaking former country of the PALATINATE, which once straddled the Rhine River. Her husband, Daniel, was likely also a Palatine.

Along with her family, Appolonia appears in Passenger Records of Castle Garden Immigration Center, having arrived in America on 10 May 1837.

Appolonia did not write. In 1842 her "signature" appears as an "X" on a land transaction in Jefferson Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

The place of her death is unknown. She does appear in the 1850 Federal Census enumeration of Wabash County, Indiana, although her given name is badly mispelled. Her name appears in the St. Peter's Church records in Urbana, but her burial does not. She may have died before there was a cemetery, and was buried on the family's farm, which was common practice in early settled communities; or she could have been buried in the St. Peter's Cemetery before there were any records kept.

"White Creek" has finally decided to add the suspected surname of VOLLMAR to this website, in hopes someone will confirm it?

   In the 1840 Census, only the head of the household was named, so we can not prove the entry for a female age 30/40 is Appolonia. However the entry is likely her, as she would have been the only adult female in the family then.
