(16) 1880 Census. (17) 1900 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Cove District) Event Notes Note (1) Immigration records show that Jacob Ruppert, age 36, arrived in New York on Dec 14 1841 on the ship Elizabeth Dennison (Captain Rupert H. Post). With him were Catherine (36), John Ruppert (4), and Catherine Ruppert (2). Note (2) German marriage records show that Jacobus Antonius Ruppert married Catharina Weimbach on Oct 7 1833 in Katholisch, Westhofen, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt. Note (3) Age 39 in 1850 Census put birth in about 1811, but 1870 and 1880 Censuses put it in about 1808. Note (4) Birth date given in 1900 Census as June 1838, while age 11 in 1850 Census puts it in about 1839. But he was age 4 in his Dec 1841 immigration record, and the birth date on headstone is Jun 15 1837. Note (5) German records show that she was born on Sep 24 1839 in Katholisch, Westhofen, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt. Baptized Sep 29 1839. Note (6) Not with family in 1850 Census. Note (7) German birth and baptism records show that Anna Maria Ruppert was born on Sep 1 1840 and baptized Sep 6 1840 in Katholisch, Westhofen, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt. Since there is no record that she immigrated with her parents in 1841, we must conclude that she had already died in Germany or died aboard the ship. Note (8) Marriage record of husband's re-marriage on Jun 1 1869 identified him as a widower.
