John Wurm Family

John Wurm, eldest son of John Christian and Hellena (Becker) Wurm, was born 20 April 1822 in Germany and died 3 Sept 1877 in Seneca County, Ohio.  His wife wife, Catherine W. (Kuina) Wurm, died about 1849.  (Catherine's maiden name is spelled both Kuina and Quina in St. Stephen church records.)  On 23 Sept 1850 at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Seneca County, Ohio, John married Christina (Haug/Hauck) Lehman.  Christina was the widow of Joseph Lehman.  She was born 12 Dec 1814 in Baden, Germany and died 8 Sept 1887 in Venice Township, Seneca County, Ohio.

Although they are not direct Wurm descendants, I am including below some information on the family of Christina (Haug) Wurm by her first husband, Joseph Lehman.  The Lehmans were another pioneer family of the St. Stephen area, and numerous among their descendants have married into the Wurm family.

Joseph Lehman, son of Nicholas and Marie Anne "Mary Ann" (Biam) Lehman, was born about 1814, probably at Schirrhein, Alsace, France.  He died 24 Nov 1849.  Joseph and Christina (Haug) Lehman had six known children:
