Sources:

  1. "The Raubs" by Sally Scheetz
  2. 1850 Census Page One & Page Two (Reuben, Caroline, and Peter are all two years younger on the census than other records indicate. I suspect all the children are off by that amount, although I have not altered them here).
  3. 1860 Census (notation that Anna Louisa & Mary M. are twins)
  4. 1870 Census
  5. 1880 Census
  6. 1900 Census
  7. 1910 Census (Fayette Raub - Widow)
  8. Based on unverified research from another website: http://www.kunsman-eichlin.net/Database/f987.htm
  9. Graves of Peter Raub & Fieta Raub taken by another researcher at St. John's Lutheran Church in Williams Twp. Northampton Co. Pa.
* The identification of the Peter married to Fietta as Reuben's brother is based on Sally Scheetz's recollection in her family history that her father mentions the existence of an "Uncle Pete" and an "Aunt Fieta". Based on that, I located the later Census records. Census records do not indicate any other Peter Raub living in Pennsylvania who would be the right age. Another resarcher working separately from me makes this same match. All information on children beyond name and general birth year is based on that other unverified research (see fn. 8). This same researcher indicates Fieta's parents were Conrad and Margaret Fehr and that she had a sister Hannah.
