Laura Leigh's Family Tree

I have been researching Jacob Henry Zoll and Maria Elizabeth Schaeffer (Shafer). They were married at the Zion Reformed Church in Hagerstown, MD in March 1834. I received the records from the Church. However I cannot locate them prior to the marriage. I find many Jacob Zolls and many Maria or Elizabeth Shafers or Schaeffers. However I am not sure which are the ones that belong in my family. From the 1850 census i was able to determine that the father of Jacob Henry Zoll was Jacob Zoll age 75 giving him an estimated birth year of 1775. Jacob Henry and Elizabeth were both born abt. 1808. All were born in Germany.

I am also researching the Loebbaka Family. There are several spellings of this name. Loebbaka, Lobbaka, Loebaka, Loebbka, Loebbeka, Loebbake, Loebbeke, Loebeke, Loebake, Loebeka and on one census Loebbara. I was able to determine that the various spellings were the same family from the names of the children. Luckily I new the first and some middle names of some of the generations. I have not been able to find anythng farther back than Henry married to Anna M. Both born in the 1820's. They had 4 children William, Ferdinand aka Frank, Emeline, aka Emeline Julia, and Margaret. Henry and Anna M were both born in Prussia.

I would appreciate any help you can give me. I will gladly share what I have learned.
