    •      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.
    Married 30 Apr 1826  Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe Find all individuals with events at this location  [13, 14, 15, 16, 17

    •      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).

    • 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.

      "...the photo of the old Starkebaum-house Nr. 47 in Sonneborn....It´s the house in which the family of Heinrich Hermann Starkebaum (born 15 Apr 1800) and Elisabeth Ridder lived, in which their son´s, even whose who emigrated, were born and in which my great-grandmother lived in till her death. I´m really sure these statements are correct. The photo was taken in 1941. The adress of the house today is 'Alte Dorfstrasse 25.' Other earlier generations of the Starkebaums lived on farms with No. 34 and No. 76 according to the church records and 'Eheprotokolle.' "
