Residence: Marital Status: Single; Relation to Head: Daughter: 1880

The records of her short life and those of her sister, Christine are confusing. The hand-written records of Clinton County document the marriage of Christine to Joseph McCulley in 1890. Yet Christine is buried as a Schneider in the Wheatland Cemetery while Sarah is buried as a McCulley. Ray Joseph McCulley was born shortly before Sarah's death, and "childbirth fever" was sadly common. The preponderance of evidence seems to be that it was Sarah who was married and not Christine. What accounts for the latter's name in the marriage register is a mystery.

?? Catherine [Female] b. 1832 Bavaria - d. BEF 1885 Oxford, Warren, New Jersey

This Catherine has often been mistaken for another Riedesel/Riddle--by me among others--specifically a Catherine Riddle born in 1839 to Wunderthausen immigrants. The 1880 Census, however, shows that this woman was born in Bavaria about 1832. She is listed with her husband and family in the 1880 Federal Census but is not listed in the 1885 New Jersey Census and you must assume she had died. The grave marker for Catherine Riddle in the Hazen cemetery (d. August 08, 1917) belongs to the Catherine Riddle born in 1839 who never married. There is a Find-a-Grave entry for the latter but I think the birth year of 1832 is in error.
