It all boils down to this: The Carley's and the Dolph's have some complicated relationships. At least, potentially.
To sort it all out, we're requesting microfilm that contains information regarding the marriages between Bartholomew Carley and Sarah Dolph as well as Bartholomew's dad Richard and Eunice Dolph.
Stay tuned to find out: Did Richard Carley--Bartholomew's dad--marry Eunice Dolph--Sarah's mom--late in life? Or is this a young couple who happens to have these same names? And what is the exact relationship between Sarah Dolph and Richard Carley? Are they married, too, as some records suggest?
We'll find out when the microfilm arrives. Until then, happy guessing!

Carl Braatz
According to the census records, Carl was born in 1851 and arrived in the US from Germany in 1867, which would have made him 15 or 16 when he arrived. As I recall from family stories, he came over with an uncle, and may have lied about his age at the time.
Searching at castlegarden.org, these are the potential hits (not all promising):
(small font means he came with family)

Leman Carley
1830: Familysearch lists 2 fathers for him. Both were in the 1830 census, which is more like a land-holding list that shows the number of people of certain ages in the household. So here are the 2 fathers:
(a) Bartholomew Carley: Males: ages (<5), (5-10), (20-30); Females: ages (20-30)
(b) Richard Carley: Males: 60-70, F: (5-10), (20-30), (50-60)
1840 Census: no luck
1850 Census: no luck
1860 Census: Leman (35, b. Indiana), Louise (33, New York), Alice (13, Indiana), Saleis Ree (or something like that; Female, 8, b. Michigan), Clinton (6, Michigan), Augustus (5, Michigan)
1870 Census, Audoban, Audoban, Iowa: Leman (45, b. Indiana), Celaski (19), Augustus (14), Eunice (8). Other people of the household were Stephen Carley (43) and W S Ordway (29).
1880 Census, Lura, Cass, Iowa: Leman (56), Sylva (23, b. Iowa--but her daughters' records say she was born in Illinois; parents born in Ohio), Ardella (Female, 3, b. Iowa), Oliva (F, 1, b. Iowa)
So it looks like Leman remarried after Harriett died and had at least 2 more children.

Smiths
Looking for census records of the other side of the family, I found the smiths in Minnesota in 1900:
Minnesota > Hennepin > Minneapolis Ward 4
Amasa Smith (b May 1857 in MN) had been married to Isidor (b Oct 1861 in IA) for 20 years. Of their 7 children, 6 were living, all still at home. The children were Madison J (son b Oct 1885), Charlotte V (b Nov 1887), Harrison L (b Aug 1889), Oleta (daughter b May 1890), Noel C (b Apr 1894) and Attalee H (son b Apr 1898).
They were living in a rented home, and Amasa was working as a "Yard Master," presumably for the railroad. All but the youngest child was in school. Amasa's father was born in NY and his mother in NH; Isidor's parents were both from Ohio.
Amasa J also appears in 1910, this time in Spokane, WA (Spokane Ward 1). With him are wife Dora, daughter Leta (19), and sons Noel (16) and Hale (11). He was working for the railroad. Lots of other Smiths appear on the same page, so there may be family nearby.
In 1880 Jay Smith (23) and his wife Dora (19) are living in Saint James, Watonwan, Minnesota. Jack Dougherty (16), a brother (to Dora) is living with them, working on the trains.
In 1870, Jay Smith (12) is living in Butternut Valley, Blue Earth, Minnesota with his parents Amasa Smith (50, from NY) and Anna C (35, from NH). Amasa is a Farmer. Jay has three sisters and a brother: Ella (10), Cordelia (6), Etta (4), and Ernest (2).
The older Amasa Smith (Amasa J's father), was living in Waverly, Martin, Minnesota in 1880. His household consisted of himself (60), his wife Anna C (45), daughters Luella A (21), Ada C (19), and Ella M (14), and sons Ernest L (12), William A (10), Charles A (8), and Archie H (5).
Amasa was still farming--his parents were both from NY, and Anna's were both from NH.
In 1900 there are two widowed Ann C Smiths from NY of the right age, both living in NY at the time--one in Catskill and one in Canisteo. None from NH show up. More searching necessary.
~~~
There is a good candidate for Dora's parents living in MN, with the information below, but there are a lot of Dougherty families living in IA with birthplace OH, so more comparison is necessary.
Isaiah (49) and Ruth (43), both born in OH (Ruth's parents from VA and CT), have a large household: son Lucius (23), daughter-in-law Frances E (23) and grandson James J; daughters Acalda (13), Effie (9), and Katy (3); and sons Jarvis (20) Daniel (11), and Edgar (7). *my pairing of Frances with Lucius is just guesswork--she is listed after Jarvis, and her son is at the very end.
I had trouble finding Dora or her brother Jack in 1870

John and Anna Klotz
On 10/29 I looked for immigration records for the family (John and Anna and several children), but did not have any luck on ancestry.com
Thursday, October 29, 2009
Carl Braatz
Today was immigration records day. There were no exact matches for Carl Braatz, but two came close.
This is the information we have for him:
Immigrated 1867, born 1851 (so age 16 or 17), from Pomer Germany
This is the information of the two records:
1. Immigrated 24 Dec 1869, age 17, from Hamburg Germany to New York
2. Immigrated 27 Nov 1867, age 18, from Bremen Germany to New York. This person came with several other Braatz's, including Joha (b 1833), Herm (b 1836), Henre (b 1860), and Wm (b 1866).

Levi Dodge
Looking for Levi Dodge in 1840 in NH, I found 3 hits (plus one duplicate entry in an index). The only real match was in Wendell Township in Sullivan County, with a couple in their twenties and two sons under 5 yrs.
The other Levi Dodges were in Lampston, Sullivan and Greenfield, Hillsborough, but the ages did not match at all.
The other Levi Dodges were in Lampston, Sullivan and Greenfield, Hillsborough, but the ages did not match at all.
Isadore Dodge
The census in the last post found several families all living in a township in Hutchinson, including Truman N. Dodge and his wife Dora (Klotz). Dora's parents were on the next page, but Truman's parents were not. Today we found them in another township in Hutchinson, SD in 1900 and traced Truman's father through all of the federal censuses before 1900.
Going backwards in time:
1900, in Parkinson Town (South Dakota > Hutchinson > Susquchanna > District 183 > pg 2)
Isadore Dodge, b. March 1846 in Ohio, was living with his wife Jane and two children.
Jane, b. May 1844 in Iowa, married Isadore in 1866. Her father was born in Massachussetts and her mother in Connecticut.
5 of their 8 children were still living, and their daughter Ida (b. Nov 1886) and their son Aburt (b. Dec 1889) were living at home.
1880, in Sugar Creek, IA (Iowa > Poweshiek > Sugar Creek > District 197 > pg 22)
Isadore (33, b. OH) and his wife Jane (34 b. IA) were living with 4 children, all born in IA: Truman (13), William (7), Ada (5), and Austen (6 mo.)
We learn in addition that Isadore's parents were both born in NH.
1870, in Richland, IA (Iowa > Jasper > Buena Vista > pg 19)
Isidore (b. 1845 OH) and Jane (b. 1845 IA) had a 3-year-old son Truman (who is indexed as Freeman, but the image looks like Truman).
Another ancestry.com user had annotated the entry to say that he was born as Frederick Isadore Dodge.
1860, again in Richland, IA (Iowa> Mahaska > Richland > Page 22)
We find Isadore by the name Fredk I, at age 13. The entire household:
Levi Dodge (49) b. NH
Ruth (53) b. RI
Francis (19) b. NH
Fredk I (13) b. OH
John (11) b. OH
also living in the house: William and Sally Gifford (ages 74 and 79--maybe: the 7 was hard to read). William, from CT, was working a s a farm laborer; Sally was from MA.
1850, in Rush, OH (Ohio > Champagne > Rush > pg 21)
Levi Dodge (38) and Ruth (41) are living with their children William (13), Francis (10), Frederick (5), and John (1). Birthplaces same as for 1860.
A William (20) and Eliza (15) Gifford are living with them as well: William is a Clerk, and both of them were born in OH.
*So, are the Giffords the in-laws? Ruth's brother and sister were living with them in 1850, and then the parents have moved in by 1860? I need to look into this more next time.
Also for next time: check the 1885 Territorial Census of the Dakota Territory for Isadore Dodge. On an initial search his name came up, but the linked image did not appear to list him, although it did list John and Ann Klotz, future parents-in-law of Truman Dodge.
I will post the census images separately.

Braatz, Dodge, and Stainbrook
Today I looked at the 1900 US Census for South Dakota > Huntchinson > Township 100 > District 193. I had found it some time ago on a search for Carl Braatz, but hadn't actually looked through it yet.
Page 3 has Carl and Sarah Braatz, and 8 of their children including nine-year-old Isaac. They are listed as having 9 living children, but the youngest, born in 1900, is not named on the form. It states Carl's immigration date as 1867, and his birth as Mar 1851.
Sarah's father and mother were born in Pennsylvania and Indiana, respectively, and her father Isaac Kiser Stainbrook is noted on page 4 as a widower at age 69. He and his parents were all born in Pennsylvania. Also in Isaac's home is a 58-year-old servant named JohnWardwell, who is originally from Wisconsin.
Several of Sarah's siblings are also found throughout the census.
Looking through the rest of the census, we find Truman Dodge and his wife Dora (Klotz) on page 5 with their four children. One of those is four-year-old Mina, future wife of Isaac Braatz. Truman and Dora had been married for 10 years, and Dora's parents are living nearby, listed on page 2. Truman, b. 1867, and his mother were both born in Iowa, but his father was from Ohio.
John and Anna Klotz, Dora's parents, reported 6 of their 10 children were still living, though none were in the household. John, b. 1832, and Anna, b. 1831, were both born in Austria to Austrian parents and came to the US in 1869.
Page 3 has Carl and Sarah Braatz, and 8 of their children including nine-year-old Isaac. They are listed as having 9 living children, but the youngest, born in 1900, is not named on the form. It states Carl's immigration date as 1867, and his birth as Mar 1851.
