JDS Notes-
Lauwe marriage records show a Nov 1833 marriage (perhaps just the bann, with the marriage being a bit later) of Wilhelm Preuss (born about 1792) and a widow Margaretha Elisabeth Habermann born Schumann (born about 1801).

This widow I believe was the Margaretha Elisabeth Schumann born 19 Jul 1801 in Laub, married Andreas Heinrich Doos (9 Apr 1900 - 1825) of Dinkel, with whom she had five known kids, married Johann Friedrich Habermann of Kukkus sometime thereafter, and married Wilhelm Preuss of Lauwe in late 1833.

In looking across all non-Catholic colonies that have been transcribed, which includes pretty much any colony that this woman could have been widowed in, the only one with a male Habermann that died prior to 1834 that could possibly fit is Johann Friedrich Habermann in Kukkus, noted as dying in (about) 1833.

If I'm correct:

1) Habermann had some earlier wife (perhaps more than one) that was the mother of his first three known kids. This wife died as early as 1822, perhaps in childbirth.
2) Katharina Sophia (Griess-Kriess) could not have married Habermann any earlier than about 1823, as she had her illegitimate kid in 1822, probably in Norka, and Habermann also had a kid by his first wife in 1822. An unwed mother with and infant from another colony would be a good match for a recently-widowed guy with three kids, one being an infant, as both had infants needing support, and an unwed mother would often "leave town" to marry.
3) Margaretha Elisabeth (Schumann) was married to Habermann at the time of his death in (about) 1833, and could not have married him any earlier than very late 1825 as her Doos husband died in (about) 1825, and she had a child by him in Oct 1825. I would expect her to have remarried in about 1826, perhaps to Habermann, perhaps to someone else.
4) George Adam Kriess, being an illegitimate kid who clearly came to Kukkus with his mother, as he appears there in 1834 (and thereafter), was likely raised by Habermann nearly from infancy, and remained with Habermann after his mother's death.
5) The note about Kriess (note on 1834 census) being the illegitimate son of Habermann's deceased wife Katharina Sophia is probably specific in naming her to make clear that she was not his last wife, and that George Adam was not of his last wife.
