POLAND (Germany?) Birth of Adam Grzybowski about 1806. Possible death in US.

Phonetic spelling -- P. Hoskey is easier than Peichowski/Piechowski. I had to smile when I saw that, but I couldn't access the document to get the date. Thanks. If she was 4 in Sep 1845, on arrival in the US, she must have been only 14 or 15 when she married.

Would the "license to intermarry" indicate that the groom was African American? In Alabama in 1855?

I don't think so.  From what I can see, that was the standard Alabama wording.

OK, thanks.

What an interesting worldwide piece of detective work .

The assumption of bigamy may be wrong .
With help if roiotschatters ..I found a man on a census with his first wife who'd married second wife the year before  but on his death records his first wife was listed as divorced wife !

Have you tried looking for  a WILL ?
I think the theory of one Adam is probable but if there are 3 maybe you.ll find a will

Also definitely look up freemason records they show dates of payments and give dates of last payment and reason such as death .

DNA of descendants of relevant people could confirm unless the wives children were actually born to different men

Divorce could have been before the birth of  Maria's last children/ child
What surnames did they use in later life and who Do they list as their father on marriage certificates

Can you please  write a summary
 time line of finds so far. What you KNOW + DONT KNOW as it's a lot to.read to look for specific information

For example did you get information about the French birth .?.

Happy Hunting ...I'm reading this story like a detective novel wonder where the next snippet of information will turn up .

I wonder who George and Hugh Piechowski were in Mobile, 1860?

Joseph Piechowski, Confederate Army

Louis Piechowski, Confederate Army

To further complicate things, it looks like Louis and his wife relocated to Brazil for a while after the Civil War.  All his kids were born there.  Did Louis die in Brazil?  I wonder if Joseph went, too? 

1880 census  Louis's wife Emma, back in the USA, a widow
