Description	:	Jacob Leininger is the son of Phillipp George Leininger (went by Phillipp) and Maria Elisabetha Leininger (went by Elizabeth). His mother's maiden surname was also Leininger (they were first cousins). Phillipp and Elizabeth emigrated to Ohio sometime between 1826 and 1829 from the town of Rothbach, France, located in the ethnically-German Alsace region about 25 miles northwest of Strasbourg.

His mother's maiden surname was also Leininger (they were first cousins). Phillipp and Elizabeth emigrated to Ohio sometime between 1826 and 1829 from the town of Rothbach, France, located in the ethnically-German Alsace region about 25 miles northwest of Strasbourg. Phillip and Elizabeth had a son named Jacob who was born 29 April 1826 in Rothbach and there is no death record for anyone with the surname Leininger in Rothbach between 1826 and 1832. However, based on census records and his death record, this Jacob clearly seems to have been born in Ohio in 1828. His death record (index record from FamilySearch) gives the birthdate 10 July 1828 and states that he was born in Ohio to "Philip Geo. Leininger" and "Marry Elizabeth Leininger". All census records give his birthplace as Ohio. The 1910 census says he was born in July 1828. It was quite common to use the given name of a deceased child for a child born later. According to the Ohio Obituary Index, which indexes certain information from obituaries (it gives a link to order a copy of obituary from the local library, but I have only accessed the index entry), Jacob was born on 10 July 1828, married Margaret Iseman on 6 January 1853, and died 20 September 1910 in Clay Township. He was buried on 22 September 1910. His parents were among the first of many dozens of families from Rothbach and several nearby villages to emigrate to a small region spanning four townships in Stark and Carroll Counties, Ohio (a few miles south-southeast of Canton). Many later moved further west to one of three communities: one in rural Clay Twp., Auglaize Co. and Jackson Twp., Shelby Co.; one in German Twp., Fulton Co., Ohio; and a handful that settled in Madison Twp., St. Joseph Co., Indiana (about 8-10 miles south of South Bend). Jacob was likely born in Stark County. In 1830, his father purchased land in eastern Pike Twp., Stark Co. (between East Sparta and Waynesburg) from another immigrant from a town near Rothbach (Jacob Gross from Wimmenau) and the family was residing in Pike Twp. in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. In the 1850 census, Jacob was the oldest child in the family, now residing in Clay Twp., Auglaize Co. In the 1860 census, his father Phillipp (age 70 and widowed) was living in Jacob's household. In an 1860s cadastre map of Auglaize County, a "J. Lininger"/"J. Liminger" owned two parcels of land off what is now State Route 65 beside the double curves on State Route 65 just north of the Auglaize-Shelby County line (see image). I am unaware of anyone other Leininger family living in this area besides the children of Phillipp and Elizabeth and Jacob is the only one whose given name begins with a 'J', thus this would seem to belong to this Jacob.
