Family #11 in the 1798 Grimm census.
Family #68 in the 1834 Grimm census.
Family #72 in the 1857 Grimm census.
Johann Kaspar Kaiser was born in 1787 in Grimm, Russia, to Johannes Kaiser and Anna Margaretha (Kaltenberger) Kaiser. In the 1834 census, his age is off by about 10 years, but that appears to be a clerical error on behalf of the census taker. His age in the 1857 census matches what his age was in the 1798 census.
Wife Katharina Müller, age 29, from Kratzke, second wife
Child #1 Johann Kaspar Kaiser, age 12, probably from first wife
Child #2 Johann Konrad Kaiser, age 5, probably from second wife
Child #3 Barbara Kaiser, age 14, probably from first wife
In the 1798 census, it shows that his father had a second wife. While it doesn't note which wife was the mother of each child, to believe Katharina Müller was the mother of all three children, you would have to believe these things:
Johannes Kaiser's second wife was 17 years younger than he was.
Johannes married his second wife when she was only 14 years old.
She had her first child with him when she was only 15 years old.
While the age difference between the two is likely, it seems improbably that a man over 30 would have married a 14 year old girl. Unless/until I discover otherwise, I am attaching Anna Margaretha (Kaltenberger) Kaiser as the mother of the two older children in the household, Barbara and Johann Kaspar.
