Elizabeth Betty LANDTROOP

UPDATE: Connection found 11-23-2015, updated info appears in ‘grape’

This Landtroop family bears the same surname as Mary Catherine Urban’s mother, Susannah L. E. Landtroop wife of Cassandra Urban.

     In researching Mary Catherine's ancestors and their descendants we came across this family, which, by their surname, location and dates are probably related to Mary Catherine. Until that relationship/connection is made we list them as unknown relatives.  

     When they are connected we will show them in the Urban family line and change their surname from all caps to “Landtroop”.

.........2 Joe Simbeck
.........2 Louis Simbeck
.........2 William Simbeck
.........2 Edward Simbeck
.........2 Pauline Simbeck

After the death of John Simbeck, his wife Viola Johns-Simbeck remarried to Jesse Daniel Littrell. In addition to the two Children Viola had with John, James ‘Bud’ and Geneva Simbeck, Viola had several children by Jesse.

We’ve always suspected that John’s mother might be related to our Landtroop but until now we have not been able to make that connection.

Until a recent visit to the St. Louis County Library, using resources at that library we were able to identify the parents of Elizabeth (above) Landtroop, as well as clear up some other ‘mysteries’.

We can now positively identify our Landtroop family as connected to Elizabeth Betty Landtroop/John Simbeck.
