Dice Family Outline

Not a lot of information has been found for Gottlieb Dice but he is the farthest we've been able to get back to for the Dice family.  Gottlieb born abt. 1815 in Germany and married Christina (Shide) Cline abt. 1845 in Hamilton County, Ohio.  Christina at the time was the widow of Peter Cline and with Peter she had two boys: Conrad and Peter.  Christina was born abt. 1825 in Baden, Germany and died 27 May 1898 in Franklin County, Indiana.  Christina came to America at the age of 12 and settled in Cincinati, Oh with her parents.  The trip across the ocean took 120 days.  Gottlieb and Christina's children are:

Francis b. 1847 Ohio married Margaret White and then Mary Ellen Weir.

Augustus born abt 1849 in Ohio and died possibly in 1933.

Margaret born 1858 I believe she was born in Franklin County, Indiana because land records show Gottlieb purchased a 80 acre farm in 1857.  She married Frank Bildner 8 Jan. 1876 Franklin Co., Ind.

Lydia born 16 Apr. 1858.  As far as we know there are no twins, would like to find correct birth dates for Margaret and Lydia.
