Born in Brückeschneiders Haus in Wunderthausen. She came to America on the "Argonaut" out of Bremen with other people from Wunderthausen. The ship docked in New York on November 11, 1867. She first lived near Tingley, Iowa, where she married Ludwig Homrighausen a few years later. What brought either of them to this area is not certain. She and her husband were second cousins, and both were third cousins to John Albert Riedesel (born the same year as both of them were) who was also living at Tingley at the time. All wound up near Idalia, Colorado.

While he was born in Wunderthausen, it is not clear where his (unwed) mother was living. I believe he came to America on the Atlantic out of Bremen to New York, landing on May 28, 1866. He was only 14.

In 1910 he was living with the Louis Tippe household in Jackson County, Missouri. Mrs. Tipton was born a Knoche and had married another Knoche. Two of her children were also in the house.

Event: Birth House

Event: Adult House

He was born in Weymers Haus in Wunderthausen but married into Haase Haus. This was one of the smaller houses in the village. It was unusual for a man his age to emigrate, but the greater opportunities for his four sons (and already married daughter) may have been compelling. The house and property (meagre, I think) were sold to J. Daniel Müsse from Jochums Haus. Most of the family traveled to New York, landing on June 7, 1845. Son J. Ludwig had gone the year before, and they brought with them his fiance, Catherine Schneider. All settled in Crawford County, Ohio.

Ludwig and Florentine died around 1847-1848, reportedly in an epidemic of some kind (cholera?) along with their daughter-in-law and at least one grandchild. They were interred in a private cemetery probably belonging to the Gerhardts. Its identity is long lost but we are reasonably certain where it is.

Born in Schäfers Haus in Wunderthausen to a single mother. Came to New York on the "Atlantic" out of Bremen on May 28, 1866 in the company of others from Wunderthausen. Later details of her life are not clear. At one time I had a marriage date of January 1866 in Missouri, but that is not possible. Judging by the 1900 Census, she and Johannes Knoche married later in 1866 or 1867. According to the 1910 Census she had borne 10 children of whom 7 were alive. We know they had a daughter (Lisette, a twin of Amelia) born in 1871 who was not alive in 1880. Known as Anna or Annie.

Born in Haasebergers house in Wunderthausen. Arrived in the port of New York on September 10, 1866, on the ship "Hermann" out of Bremen. Settled near Tingley, Iowa, where he married Amalia in 1873. At least two of their children were born in Clinton County, Iowa (where Wheatland is). By 1900 the family had moved on to Arapahoe County, Colorado, in the Idalia precinct.

There were some Wunderthausen connections to Red Bud where he was born. While I have yet to find a record, he and Louise must have gotten a divorce. He is listed as a farm laborer boarding with others in Franklin County Iowa in the 1900 Census--with his marital status as "Married."

She was born in Haase Haus, which passed to her husband upon their marriage since she was the oldest child. In 1845, most of the family left Wunderthausen to go to America. They traveled on the ship "New York" out of Bremen, and landed in New York city on June 7, 1845. Her sister, Maria Elisabeth, had come to America years before, married Christian Gerhardt, and settled in Crawford County, Ohio. They joined them. Florentine and her husband died within a few years, reportedly in 1847-1848 in an epidemic. They were almost certainly buried in a family plot on land belonging to the Gerhardts. After everyone moved on to Iowa, the graveyard was abandoned and is now part of a corn field. There are no markers.
