GOTTLIEB was a merchant in Madras, married twice, first to LILLIAN/LYNDA/LYDIA PASCAL and after her death to MARTHA AVENAL. There were children from both marriages including, from the first marriage, MARY CRISP VAN SOMEREN who married Lutheran Missionary AUGUST FRIEDRICH WOLFF in Madras in 1848 & WILLAM JUDSON VAN SOMEREN who married his first cousin HARRIET TAYLOR in Madras in 1846  and LUCY PRISCILLA & HELENA ROWENA from his second marriage to Martha Avenal. EMILIA married a missionary, Rev Joseph TAYLOR in about 1814 & had children who married into the following families in India the 1840's & 50's BIRDWOOD, LECHMERE, FANNING, PRITCHARD, BRODIE & ADDIS, including the youngest daughter, HARRIET, who married her first cousin, WILLIAM JUDSON VAN SOMEREN, who became Surgeon General by the 1880's.
