AbstractTheodore Sack (known as Dorchen to her family) was born in Duesseldorf, Germany, on 7 May 1829. In 1849 she set sail with her brother-in-law Wihelm Franz Xavier Jaentschke to meet with her sister, Elise Otillie Anna Sack Jaentschke, in Austin County, Texas. Theodore first married her cousin, Wilhelm Adolph Johann Eberhard Ludwig von Roeder, in 1850, and had one child -- born, interestingly, in Bielefeld, Germany. Wilhelm died in 1852, and Theodore married Carl Eugen von Rosenberg in Round Top, Fayette County, Texas, in 1853. Five children were born to the couple, and they also adopted an orphaned girl sometime in the 1880s. Eugen served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
