52 Ancestors 2015 Week #15 - Georg Simon Gruen

This week's optional theme is how do you spell that?  I picked Georg Simon Gruen due to the changing spelling of the family name over the years.  The surname today in my family has evolved into Greene.

Georg Simon Gruen is my 6th great grandfather.

Georg Simon was born on 09 Jul 1753 in Baumerlenbach, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg (Germany) to John Simon Gruen and Barbara.

Georg married Maria Barbara Herldarth (1755-1822) on 17 Nov 1778 in Baumberenbach, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg.  Together they had eight children:

• Johann Friederick (1780-1780)
• Catharina Dorthea (1781-1865)
• Johann Georg (my 5th great grandfather; 1783-1867)
• Johan Abraham (1785-1794)
• Christina Braven (1789-?)
• Rosina Elizabeth (1791-1791)
• Rosina Elizabeth (1794-1794)
• Johan Simon (1797-1797)

Georg died on 27 Feb 1825 at age 71.
