Sebastian Schönberger and Magdalena Schäfer

Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Sebastian Schönberger and Magdalena Schäfer," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."

Sebastian Schönberger was born 19 January 1811 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia to Johann Sebastian Schönberger and Elisabetha Kohlman. He was baptized 20 January 1811.

Sebastian married Magdalena Schäfer in November 1832 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia. Madgalena was born 18 April 1814 in Graf, Samara, Russia to Nikolaus Schäfer and Dorothea Schmidt. She was baptized 19 April 1814.

Sebastian died 16 September 1852 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia of fever. He is listed in his death record as being survived by Magdalena, three sons, and three daughters.

Magdalena married second Michael Götz 18 July 1855 in Herzog, Samara, Russia. Michael was born about 1806 in Herzog, Samara, Russia to Andreas Götz and Maria Anna Doppler. He married first Catharina Brull.

Sebastian and Magdalena’s children are:

1 Johannes Schönberger, born 3 Feb 1834 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia, baptized 4 Feb 1834, married Catherina Weber 9 Feb 1854 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia.

Wife: Catherina Weber, b. abt. 1836 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia to Michael Weber and Kunigunda Stecklein.

Children: Andreas Jakob Schönberger and Johannes Konrad Schönberger.

2 Barbara Schönberger, born 10 Jan 1836 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia, baptized 12 Jan 1836, died 9 Apr 1837 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia of convulsion. 

3 Elisabetha Schönberger, born 24 Feb 1838 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia, baptized 24 Feb 1838, married Andreas Dopler 23 Nov 1854 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia.

Husband: Andreas Dopler, b. abt. 1816 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia to Johannes Doppler and Christina Staub.

Child: Anton Dopler.
4 perhaps Margaretha Schönberger, born about 1838 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia, according to the 1850 census. When her father died, it was noted that she was survived by three daughters. If this is accurate, there are a couple of possible explanation: 1) Because of the overlap of dates for Elisabetha and Margaretha and the lack of a birth or any other record for Margaretha, it is likely that Elisabetha was accidentally recorded as Margaretha in the census or 2) Otherwise, if Elisabetha and Margaretha are two separate children after all, Margaretha may have died sometime before her father's death in 1852.
5 Anna Eva Schönberger, born 26 Sep 1840 in Rohleder, Mariental, Samara, Russia, baptized 4 Oct 1840, married Johannes Hoffman 12 Oct 1863 in Rohleder, Mariental, Samara, Russia.

Husband: Johannes Hoffman, b. 12 Oct 1843 in Graf, Samara, Russia to Michael Hoffmann and Anna Maria Kuhn, bp. same day, m. 2) Anna Maria Kolbeck and 3) Anna Maria Biehn.

Children: Gottfried Hoffman (m. Anna Margaretha Schoenberger), Katherine Hoffman (m. John Peter Knoll), and perhaps Elisabetha Hoffman.
6 Johann Georg Schönberger, born 30 Oct 1843 in Rohleder, Mariental, Samara, Russia, baptized 31 Oct 1843, married Elisabeth Mohr 23 Nov 1865 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia.

Wife: Elisabeth Mohr, b. abt. 1847 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia to Johannes Mohr and Margaretha Lederhos.
7 Joseph Schönberger, born 24 Jul 1846 in Rohleder, Mariental, Samara, Russia, baptized 27 Jul 1846, died 17 May 1847 in Rohleder, Samara, Russia of scarlet fever.
