Below is all the information I have on LOUISE (LOUISA) "LIZZIE" BENNER born in Texas: 18 May 1870. I believe she is part of the below family of HEINRICH (HENRY) BENNER born in Nassau (Prussia), 1818.
LOUISE (LOUISA) "LIZZIE" BENNER was born in Texas: 18 May 1870, Died: 25 May 1957. LOUISA BENNER'S familial relationship to the below HENRY BENNER family in the 1860 New Braunfels, Comal Co. and 1870 Lockhart, Caldwell Co. Texas census is plausible even though the given dates of birth are different. HEINRICH (HENRY) BENNER born in Nassau (Prussia) may be the father or grandfather of LOUISA marrying ROBERT LORENZ 2 November 1890. The HEINRICH (HENRY) and WILHELMINA BENNER family appears to have entered the United States between 1855-58. Ebenezer cemetery in Caldwell Co. TX lists the burial of two children from this family.

Gustav Adolph von Benner's wife apparently came to TX in 1846. He apparently was born in 1811. The below Heinrich Benner born 1818 may in fact be a brother to Gustav Adolph Benner. I am still researching this line and will send you any additional information uncovered in my research.
