Sarah Hottinger
born 15 November 1791
died 12 August 1868
---------------------------------------
Query 1
According to her gravestone she is the daughter of Aaron DOVE. This gravestone appears to be a newish gravestone and in the media you can see another photo of an older worn gravetone.
She has two birth surnames noted - RIGGELMANN and BAKER - does anyone have any source documents for either of these names?
----------------------------
In Geni she has two husbands
1) Capt. Aaron Dove 1786-1848 married 21/9/1808
2) George Hottinger 1775-? (no marriage date listed)
Query 2
Her children to Aaron DOVE are born between 1808 and 1846
Her son to George HOTTINGER was born 15/6/1817 Reuben Hottinger
Whilst it is possible for Reuben to be the result of an affair whilst she was married to Aaron DOVE - she gave birth to a son Joseph Alfred Dove to DOVE 1 month before Reuben was born.
Are the dates on these two children correct? Can anyone provide documentation?
Query 3
Sarah had 14 children over a 38 year period from 1808 to 1846 to DOVE (and all the children survived til adulthood)
1) 1809 William Venis Dove - is he a twin to Mary?
2) 8/3/1809 Mary Mullenax
3) 1810 Judith May Yankey
4) 8/3/1813 Jacob Dove

12) 31/10/1834 Ahab Dove

Aaron Dove was married to Sarah Baker, but had several baseborn children with my 5 x great grandmother Sarah Sallie Riggleman while he was married to Sarah Baker. Sarah Sallie Riggleman eventually married George Hottinger. My 4x great grandmother Judith Riggleman Dove was the daughter of Aaron Dove.
