Barbara Flessner:
- Ruth's great-grandmother -- emigrated on SS America with her husband and eight children
- included two 8-month-old babies
- one of the 8-month-old babies was Eilert Ekke who would be Ruth's grandfather
- nine of her ten children listed below were born in Germany
- nine of her children were born before they emigrated but the first-born Hilkea Maria died at two years of age, in 1855
- the family emigrated in 1869
- she had at least one more child after she arrived in America; possibly three children were born in the US
- one source suggests ten children altogether; another source suggests twelve
