I did not find exactly the same information you gave me.
I show John Henry Folkers married to Catherine Heiken (the 1879 History says Bornheinken-a mistake perhaps in typesetting).
1879 Jones Co History page 623
John H Folkers, Langworthy,
Wayne Tsp. farms on shares with Mr. Bingham of Monticello; Born in Germany in 1840; came to America and to Jones Co. in 1876. Wife's maiden name was Catharine Bornheinken, a native, also, of Germany; born in 1844; they were married in 1865; have had 5 children, four of whom are living - Henry, Garret, Margaret and Catharine. Mr. Folkers and his entire family are in the Lutheran Church.Now I see marriages for more children than the 4 listed above. Margaret married Albert Weers, Anna Marie married Johann Albert Luebben. Catherine Folkers (80 born Ger.) is living with her sons, John H and Thomas in 1925.
Laurie Nadel, 226 Linwood Cres, Burlington, ONT L7L 4A1 (Canada) is working on the Folkers family.
