By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 18 September 2021)
The couple was married on 10 Aug 1857 in Defiance, Defiance Co, OH (Marriage V1 p146). Elizabeth charged that on 1 Sept 1857 in Defiance he struck, kicked, and ill-treated her. He was a habitual drunk for three years or more. Christian denied this in his answer to the charge. He stated that he was kind and affectionate. He said Elizabeth neglected him and was willfully absent. She wanted alimony of $25. The case was dismissed. The 1850 Tiffin Twp, Defiance Co, OH federal census p47 listed a Von Beron family as Christin 55 GERM farmer, Christina 55 GERM, and daughter Christina 12 OH. In the 1860 Tiffin Twp, Defiance Co, OH federal census p419, C Van Beren was listed alone at 63 PRUSSIA farmer.
Again in the Tiffin Twp area of Defiance c1870 Christian 75 German is listed with a William Van Behren 23 OH. Nothing else has been discovered on this couple.
