Note

Note: Per FAMILIENBUCH DER GEMEINDE ÖNSBACH in BADEN, by Eugen Weber, 2004, her godfathers were Xaver Weber and Sylvester Hofer.
A "Marianna Hofer", age 73, is listed as living with the Heppenheimers in 1860.
1880 census has her named "Louise", living next door to Otto with her younger children and a niece and nephew. It is noted that she is a widow.
On September 9, 1884, she had just returned from a trip to Europe with her son Charles and a "Helene" Heppenheimer, who may have been the daughter of brother-in-law Heinrich Heppenheimer.
Date of death per "Index Register of Deaths, Jersey City, Hudson Co., NJ, 1884-1885. Cause of death listed as "Ruptura Ventriculi", which I believe refers to heart damage, and there is mention of a tumor. She apparently had been ill for about 6 months. Her age is simply given as "54 years" which supports a birthdate of 1830.
Will was inventoried in 1885.
I have found more links to the Hofers of Önsbach through the sisters, Amalie and Pauline Hofer.
Per the records of the Kirchenbuch of the 2nd German Evangelical Mission Church of New York, there is one person listed as a godparent/witness for both the 1858 and 1860 events. That is Amalie Armbruster. I believe this is sister Amalie Hofer.
Also, listed as godparents/witnesses for the 1858 event are Pauline and Cajetan Boller. Records confirm that Pauline Hofer married Cajetan Boller.
A note found by Walter vom Saal indicates that :"Marie Nanette Hofer, sister of Christina Hofer, Married --- Witsch." This is in sync with information from Rose Goutbeck about Maria Anna Hofer, sister of Christine.
Further, the baptismal record for Frederick C Heppeneheimer states that his mother, Christina Hofer, was from "Oensbach, Baden." I believe this is final confirmation of the origins of Christine Hofer.
Josef Ernst and Christina Hofer are 1st cousins 1 time removed.
Birth date per gravestone and per Önsbach Familienbuch.
