Birth:
Carolyn (Fiegenbaum) Fieker reports that Friederich was born at house or farm #47 in Sonneborn.

Immigration:
Friederich Heinrich departed Bremen aboard the Westphalia and arrived in New York on 3 July 1854. On the ship's passengers list, he was identified as a 23 year old farmer from Lippe. In 1893, a biographical sketch of his son, Henry L. Starkebaum, reported that Friedrich H. "Fritz" Starkebaum purchased two hundred acres of land in Warren County, Missouri and took up farming, an occupation he had followed in Germany.

Friedrich married Biesemeier, Wilhelmine Louise Amelia 18 Jan 1856, Lippstadt Gemeinde, Elkhorn Township, Warren County, Missouri, USA. Wilhelmine (daughter of Biesemeier, Christian Friedrich and Winter, Dorothea Louise) was born 29 Jan 1838, Hummebrok, Germany; died 27 Dec 1909, Higginsville, Lafayette County, Missouri, USA.

Notes:

Residence (family):
According to a biographical sketch of his son, Henry L. Starkebaum, published in 1893, Friedrich H. "Fritz" Starkebaum, relocated from Warren County to Lafayette County in 1876. Henry made the same move at the age of nine year (which would have occurred in 1876). The sketch does not say so, but presumably Fritz's wife and any of their unmarried children also took up residence in Lafayette County.

Heinrich married Ridder, Elisabeth 30 Apr 1826, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe. Elisabeth (daughter of Ridder, Johann Friedrich and Budde, Anna Margretha Elisabeth) was born 28 Oct 1800, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe; died 20 Apr 1872, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Married:

     Heinrich and Elisabeth resided in house number 47 in Sonneborn. It was here that their children were born and raised. In 2002, the house was still very much in use, the address having changed to Alte Dorfstraße 25.
     Earlier generations of the Starkebaums lived on farms number 34 and 76 (it has not been possible to locate these farms in contemporary Sonneborn).

Marriage Contract:

     In the Principality of Lippe until about 1870, it was customary for engaged couples to register their intended marriage with the nearest office of the Lower Court (German = Amt). This registration, or Eheprotokoll, typically recorded the couple's names and intended place of residence after marriage, the names of their parents, and most importantly, the dowry and any other financial arrangements connected with the marriage. By registering these details with the judicial court, the Eheprotokoll served as a marriage contract. In the 1870s, as license bureaus were established and civil marriages became more common, the use of Eheprotokoll began to died out.
