  	From Margaret Simpson: "I did find some information in the History of Medina County book on page 177 (Bendele family). It just lists Joseph Bendele's marriage to Maria Brauch with her birth and death dates as 1836 and 1928. The only other thing it says was that she was born in Ellingen, Prussia."
  Census	7 Jun 1860	Medina, TX, USA   [4]
  Census	24 Jun 1870	Medina, TX, USA   [5]
  Census	7 Jun 1880	Castroville, Medina, TX, USA   [6]
  Census	12 Jun 1880	Medina, TX, USA   [7]
  Notes	1880 Census - Joseph and family show up in 2 different locations. Both family units contain parts of the entire family. It looks like there was a primary home in town and a separate farm outside of town (similar to how D'Hanis worked and was originally founded -- another Castro colony).
