I can’t add anything about the family’s presence in Ashtabula County, and you may already have the info below, but here it is in hopes it helps:

Lovina Ruth later married Joshua Egbert (b. abt 1805 PA) and they resided in Wabasha, Wabasha Co., MN for many years. They appear in the 1860 census of Wabasha along with her son, Henry, then age 11, whose surname was listed as “Krich”. I assume Lovina met Joshua after moving to that area, since he appears to be the same Joshua Egbert who can be found in the 1850 census of Grant Co., WI, with wife Sarah and children John, Mary, Newton and Solon. If so, he and Sarah had divorced or separated before 1860, since Sarah Egbert appears as head of her own household head in the 1860 census of McLeod Co., MN, with sons Newton and Solon.

George Krick had also moved with his mother and brother to the same area of Minnesota. I think he is the George S. Krick who enlisted from Wabasha around 12 Oct 1861 (another source says 10 Dec 1861) in Company G of the Minnesota Third Infantry. He re-enlisted on 1 Jan 1864 and was discharged as a corporal with a disability on 13 Jan 1865.

Both brothers are residing next door to one another in the June 1870 census of Nelson, Buffalo Co., WI, as George and Henry “Krack”. (Nelson is just across the Mississippi River from Wabasha, MN.) Henry is single and lists his occupation as “grocery & dry goods merchant”. George is apparently married to a woman named Anna, age then about 27 and born in Illinois, with a daughter, Clara, born about 1867 in Minnesota.

A few weeks later in the July 29, 1870 census of Wabasha, “Annie Creek”, age 26 and born in Illinois, and her daughter Clara “Creek”, about age 2 born in Minnesota, are residing in the household of lumber dealer Hamilton Beal (b. abt. 1817 MD) and his wife Eliza (b. abt 1817 NJ). In the household are also a Lewis and Julie Beal, both born in Illinois, and an Ellen Paine, also Illinois-born and her three children.

And in the 6 Aug 1870 enumeration of another part of Wabasha is George “Creek”, occupation teamster, residing with Joshua and “Levina” Egbert.

Obviously George, Anna and Clara Krack are the same persons as George, Anna and Clara Creek, or Krick

All I can fathom is that in the short space of six weeks or so in the summer of 1870, George and Anna/Annie Krick split, with he returning to his step-father’s house and she going back to live presumably with her parents. (If indeed she was nee Anna Beal).

By 1880, Henry P. Krick has married the former Carrie E. Wyatt (b. Aug 1858 Maine), and the couple is residing in Wabasha with son Harry I., then seven months old (b. Oct 1880 MN). Henry’s occupation is now “wheat buyer”. I base my claim that Wyatt was Carrie’s maiden name on the fact that she appears in the 1870 household of Stephen H. (1833 NH) and Caroline N. (1832 Maine) of Mazeppa, Wabasha County, and also on the 1900 census (see below).

In 1880 George Krick is nearby in Durand, Pepin Co., WI with a new wife, Sarah J. Galloway (b. abt 1855 in Canada). The brothers may have had a business relationship since George’s occupation is “grain buyer”. Residing with them at the time the census was taken was Clara Krick then age 12. Either George had custody or she was just visiting her father for the summer. Sarah was the daughter of William D. and Ellen Galloway, who can be found in the 1870 Durand census with Sarah and 4 other children.

George may be the George S. Krick who appears in the 1900 census of Chicot County, Arkansas.

Carrie E. “Kricke” appears in the 1900 census of Saratoga Township, Santa Clara, CA as a widow, residing in the household of her parents, Stephen and Caroline Wyatt, along with sons Harry I. and Edwin V. (Nov 1882 MN), her only children. Apparently Henry Krick died before 1900.
