Anton and Barbara were married in New York City on June 3rd 1856.
A record of that marriage has not yet been found. It is possible that they met John Stadel, his wife Catherine Kroeper, and their two year old daughter Anna Marie while in New York.
The first child, a son who they named Conrad was born in New York City on November 2nd 1856.
Both Hank and Stadel families leave New York City and arrive in Marshall County, Illinois around 1857.
