Lori Deible Chaffin's Page

My name is John Wesley Chaffin Sr.  I am the 4th great grandson of Tyre Chaffin.  I have info regarding him.  I would love to share what I have.  Please reach out to me at your earliest convenience.  Thanks and God bless!

Hi

I just wanted to get back with you and find out if you would still be willing to go out to the  Laurel Cemetery and take pictures of the Sackhoff tombstones (maternal family).  I would be most appreciative.  My husband has been diagnosed with ALS and we have been just reeling.  I also had hoped that I could connect my paternal family through a DAR connection but haven't been able to collect the documentation needed.  I will resend all of the names if you are able to do it later this year. Evelyn

Thanks so much for being so helpful. I really thought if I had Christian's first name I would be able to find him entering the US.  There are actually two Christian Sackhoff's listed on ancestry.com but both came into the country after my relative.  Have a good week.  Evelyn

Records of the Third Protestant Memorial Church of Cincinnati, formerly known as the Third German Protestant Memorial Church, the German and Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed Church, and the North German Lutheran Church. Includes records of baptisms, marriages, deaths, confirmations, along with financial records and a few photographs - volumes are at the library in their archives at the University of Cincinnati.  I continue to search. GLAD you are doing Christmas decorating at your house. We have had snow flurries today in ATL!!  Evelyn

WOW! I am so impressed that you found out my relative's first name was Christian. No one in my family had that information. NOW maybe I can find out their information on their arrival in America. Since I've been looking under the first name Heinrich.  I would love to have a picture from the Laurel Cemetery next year!! Thanks so much for your detective work tonight.  I will check the URLs you recommended tomorrow.  THANKS so much for your help!!  Evelyn

Hi. Thanks for the reply back.  My relative was Elmer Frank Sackhoff born 8/23/1887  Died 9/12/1943. Buried at Laurel Cemetery. There was no picture of his tombstone just the entrance. Some day I plan to make a trip to the Cincinnati area. Regards Evelyn

HI

THANKS so much. That is exactly the kind of help I am looking for.

I saw that you took pictures of one of the cemeteries where I have family members.

I am specifically looking for Heinrich Henry Sackhoff  B. 1820 - Prussia

Died Jan 7,1870  Cin, OH-Hamilton CO
internment 4-18-1870

Section 7, lot 64.

BUT I don't know which cemetery in Hamilton County and I don't know his date of birth.

Augusta Kisner, Krohne or Krohn Sackhoff  B. 1882 Prussia

wife- they married Feb 24, 1846 at the North German Lutheran Church

Died October 27, 1893

Interment 10/30/1893

Cemetery??

I'm a member of ancestry.com so I have the census data, directory info from Cincinnati and their children's names from their baptismal information from their church membership. Any additional information about my great great grandparents would be "greatly" appreciated. I also do not know when they arrived. Family lore is that they landed at New Orleans and came up the Mississippi. Searched hundreds of ship manifests with no luck.

With regards Evelyn
