X.	Maria Elizabetha Riehlmann - bom on May 26, 1833 and died on May 29, 1833 in Oberweiler.
XI.	Maria Margaretha Riehlmann - bom on May 26, 1833 (twin to Maria Elizabetha) and died on June 2, 1833. It was with the birth of these twins that their mother, Philippina Catharina Becker, died on May 26, 1833.
Following Philippina’s death, Johann “Peter” Riehlmann married a second time to Margaretha Mahler on December 26, 1834 as already discussed. They had:
XII.	Catharina Riehlmann - bom on October 19, 1835 in Oberweiler. Mrs. Ruben Ochoa, previously mentioned, said that the Riehlmanns were related to a family in New Orleans called “Nuskern.” She said that they lived on Cherokee Street, were very wealthy, and are buried in a large red tomb in Metairie Cemetery. Mrs. Ochoa said she remembers three Nuskern siblings, her “cousins,” on her father’s side. They were Louise “Lou,” Catherine “Kate,” and Peter Nuskem. She thought the Nuskern’s mother, and her grandfather, George Riehlmann were brother and sister, and recent research has proven her correct. Catherine’s obituary in the New Orleans paper Daily Picayune. May 7, 1913 issue, page 6 shows Catherine Riehlmann, widow of John Nuskem, died on May 6, 1913 at age 78 (bom 1835), and that she lived in New Orleans for 65 years. It also said she was a native of “Oberweiler in Tal, Germany,” and buried in the Carrollton Cemetery (now called Metairie Cemetery). The obituary said “New York and Los Angeles papers copy” indicating she had relatives in those cities. We found their marriage record at the Jackson Avenue Lutheran Church, and it showed they married on August
12,	1856 in New Orleans. Catharine Riehlmann and John Nuskern had:
A.	David Nuskern - born in New Orleans on July 31, 1857 as listed in the city birth records. No further information.
B.	George “Peter” Nuskem - born August 4, 1860 and died March 3, 1927 in New Orleans. He married Agnes Teller, and they had no children.
He owned a “barroom” in New Orleans on Elks Place.
C.	Catharine “Katie” Nuskem - bom on June 4, 1863 and died on July 18, 1937 as taken from her headstone in Metairie Cemetery. She apparently married a man with the last name of “Beck” later in life, but had no children according to relatives.
D.	Fredericka Nuskern - bom in 1865 and died on November 4, 1883 as listed on her headstone in the Metairie Cemetery. No further information.
