Their oldest son and second child, Joseph Peter was born on 10 Oct 1856.  Joseph Peter remained with his parents on the farm until his marriage to Margaret Petry on 24 Aug 1885.

After their marriage, Joseph and Margaret also farmed in the Glen Haven area until their deaths.  They second daughter, Margaret Helen Rauch [Harsch] was the mother of Adele Harsch [Johnson].

An interesting story concerns part of the farm owned by  Joseph Peter Rauch and Margaret Petry [Rauch].  Joseph Ackermann, in addition to being Margaret Petry [Rauch]'s stepfather was Joseph Peter Rauch's uncle.  How?  Joseph Ackermann's deceased first wife Catherine was Joseph Peter Rauch's aunt.  Catherine was his father's sister. Therefore, Joseph Ackermann's nephew Joseph Peter Rauch married his step-daughter Margaret Petry.

Margaret received a portion of land from her step-father Joseph Ackermann.  Joseph had purchased this land from his first wife Catherine's youngest brother Peter  Joseph Rauch.  Therefore the land actually transferred from Joseph Peter Rauch's Uncle Peter Joseph Rauch to his Aunt Catherine Rauch [Ackermann] to his wife Margaret Petry [Rauch].
