Research Notes

Proceed with caution. Robert's 1st wife (Theresa Gunther) and 2nd wife (Louisa Gunther) were most likely sisters, based on GOFA ¹, marriage records and dates, census records and the birthdates of the children. The marriage record for Robert and Louisa exists, but neither a marriage record for Robert and Theresa nor a death certificate for Theresa has been located.
