Margaret was the daughter of Joseph Reisdorf and Marie Helene Krieger. Joseph and Marie Helene, and their daughter Margaret immigrated to the US from Germany/Prussia.
Joseph died Sept. 10, 1842, leaving Marie Helene a widow with at least one young child. Feb. 5, 1843, Marie Helene married Nicolaus Bockius at St. Mary of Victories Church in St. Louis, when Margaret was about 5 years old.
