Schumann (L.B.) Comments for: Elizabeth Heinrich Behrends Kleen Elizabeth's maiden name, Behrends, and the married name of Schumann for her daughter Ettje show a possible relationship. Ettje's husband, Lammert [Lambert] Schumann, appears in the 1860 US Census for Fayette Co., TX. There, at age 12, he is living with his mother, likely a widowed daughter in a household headed by Henry Behrends, age 78, that includes a male, Seebert [sic] Behrends, age 31. Evidence for a Kleen-Behrends-Schumann relationship finds support in their same origin from the Westerholt region of Ostfriesland. There, a record of the marriage of Adde Hermann Kleen to his second wife mentions his first marriage to Elizabeth Behrends. The next entry is for the marriage of a Jann Siebens Behrends. Seiben's age corresponds to the age of "Seebert" in the US Census entry. Cf. the Comments for Lammert B. Schumann.
