in response to a query:
"...not related, just trying to help. I found Christopher's marriage in 2 different databases. In both the marriage took place in Vanderburgh county on 16 Oct 1823. In the one on ancestry.com the brides name is listed as Morgan Rose. In the other in the Indiana State Library her name is listed as Maryan Rose. I also found the following marriages in Vanderburgh county for Linkswilers or variations thereof. Phebe married Benjamin Rose on 14 Feb 1821. Mary married Wellis Rose on 28 Apr 1825. Jane married Jackson Rose on 28 Jan 1841. Martha married Joseph Stephens on 18 Jan 1844. Isaac married Sally Rose on 31 Mar 1825. Mary Elizabeth married Jesse Parsons on 1 Mar 1846. Good luck. Don"

12. | Johann Georg Linxweiler was born in Apr 1768 in Zweibr?cken, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; died on 22 Feb 1857 in Vanderburgh County, Indiana. Notes:
George Linxwiler, grandfather of Isaac W. Linxwiler, was born in the town of Two Bridges*, Germany, April, 1768, and attended school in his native country from six to fourteen years of age, receiving a good common school education. He then served an apprenticeship of three years, learning the miller's trade. He emigrated to the United States, landing at New York in 1785, and going from there to Pennsylvania. He was married in 1790 to Miss Catherine Stull, a native of the same place in Germany, born June 5, 1767. After coming to New York in 1785, she worked three years in the city to pay her passage to America. They probably resided in Pennsylvania for several years after their marriage, removing to Vanderburgh County previous to 1809. George Linxwiler died February 22, 1857, his wife early in November, 1858.

*Zweibrucken is derived from the fact that there are two bridges in the town. After Romans have settled in this area the Counts of Saarbr?cken (named after the river Saar) founded a castle in 1150 in the loop formed by the small river Schwarzbach just before it merges with the small river Hornbach.
