Generation: 1
1. | Maria "Mary" Jesse was born on 1 Mar 1835 in Strelitz, Kreis Kolmar, Posen, Prussia; died on 23 Mar 1914 in Sherman Township, St. Joseph County, Michigan. Notes:
Fern has a note from her grandmother Augusta saying that Maria married a Venske or Fenske, and for a time lived in Sturgis, Michigan. Her grandmother remembers that a Skyler Su(a)venski/Fenski came to see her in Sturgis in the late 50's. Maria lived with her son John at the time of the St. Joseph County, Michigan census of 1900 and 1910.
Family/Spouse: Gottlieb Fenske. Gottlieb was born about 1834 in Prussia; died on 17 Sep 1896 in Sherman Township, St. Joseph County, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 2
2. | Savery F. Fenske (1.Maria1) was born about 1868 in Prussia; and died. Notes:
The 1900 Federal Census for St. Joseph County, Michigan reflects that Maria Fenske was the mother of six children, two of whom were living in 1900. As Savery Fenske was the only other Fenske in St. Joseph that was born in Germany, it appears that he most likely was one of the two surviving children of Maria, the other being her son John Fenske, with whom she lived. At the time of the 1930 census, he was living in District 4, Kent County, Delaware.
