Henry Martin Rambow, III was born November 21, 1875 in Raisinville Township, Monroe County, Michigan. He was the third child of Heinrich and Wilhelmina (Milhan) Rambow.

He married Caroline Julia Weilnau on December 26, 1900. They had five children.

A reference from 1936 has them listed as living in Wyandotte, Michigan in Wayne County. When he died on October 1, 1947 at the age of 72, he was living at 612 Plank Street in Dundee, Michigan. Henry was buried in Maple Grove Cemetery in Dundee.

Caroline was born on March 12, 1876 and she passed away on August 8, 1964 at the age of 87. She is also buried at Maple Grove Cemetery.

On November 8, 1925, Caroline wrote down some notes on the history of the Rambow family from Germany to America. We have included those on the relevant pages and have an index page on the subject.

There are four men named either Heinrich or Henry Rambow. One is listed as Henry Martin Rambow III. If this is true, technically that would make his father Heinrich Ernst Rambow, Jr. (right) and his grandfather, Heinrich Christoph Rambow, Sr. This deviates from the traditional naming rules where a Sr, Jr and III would have the same middle names too.

Although  we did not find any references using these suffixes, we will use them to try to help keep things straight among these four people.

The fourth person is Henry John Rambow, son of Alvin Rambow and grandson of Henry, III. Oh, well...another of those quirks found in genealogical research.
 

Heinrich (40), Minnie (32), Frederick (11), "Betty" (8), Henry (5) and Mary (2) lived in Dundee Township. Henry was listed as a laborer.

Note: Betty is actually Bertha.
Henry (24) was listed as a lodger and farm laborer for John Weilnau in Raisiinville Township, Monroe County, Michigan.

Note: Henry married Caroline Weilnau in 1900 but she is not listed as living with the Weilnaus on the census report.
