Born at Petersgrund (a single house near but not in Wunderthausen). What had been a single property was divided between Gabriel and his brother, Georg Ludwig. In 1833 Gabriel and his family went to America (Baltimore) where brother Gg. Hermann was established as a merchant. By the end of 1833 the family was back in Germany, petitioning the authorities for the right to resume their residence in Wittgenstein. Fortuitously, their possessions were still in the care of Schneider relatives. Family accounts have said that they first went to America in 1831 but archives in Germany include their petition in March 1833 to be allowed to leave.

Wunderthausen church records note that their daughter, Amalia, was born onboard the return ship. In 1845, he sold his interests in the property at Petersgrund to the "Prince" of Sayn-Wittgenstein in Berleburg. They came to the U.S. on the ship Minna out of Bremen, landing in New York on October 4, 1845 and were in Sherrill, Iowa, by 1847. Mrs. Hobbs reported that they came to New Orleans and then up the Mississippi. However, we have a passenger list from New York that identifies them beyond doubt. Maybe they took another boat to New Orleans rather than traveling overland.

Mrs. Hobbs says that he initially purchased 160 acres at $1.25 per acre. He later bought an adjoining 40 acres.

Veiock Johann Philip [Male] b. 30 DEC 1806 Vorderweidenthal, Südliche Weinstrasse, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany - d. OCT 1853 Iowa

Apparently came to the US in the late 1830s. The family began to use the Americanized spelling of Fiock sometime after that. Given the German spelling, the pronunciation would rhyme with eye-sock.

Vorderweidenthal is a village in the modern German state of Rheinland-Pfalz, though historically belonged to the kingdom of Bavaria. Unlike most of Bavaria, it was Protestant. The current population is just over 700. The Veiock name is extremely rare with only about ten families in Germany carrying it, all in the same area. Records of the name are reported back to the 1500s. This region was devastated as badly as any in the Thirty Years War (1681-1648), so it is a wonder the family survived.

"Aunt Emma" had no children but her 1947 book "Wetter-Miller-Schneider-Riedesel Families" was a great gift to the descendants of the almost countless members of those pioneering German families. She grew up at Wheatland and Glidden, where she knew many of the immigrants from Wunderthausen and their families. After marrying E.L. (Roy) Hobbs, she spent the rest of her life in western Nebraska and Colorado. She worked as a seamstress in her younger days.

Her parents farmed north of the town of Wheatland in the Liberty Township. Technically they were tied to the Grand Mound post office, but it is virtually certain that she was born at home on the farm..

A barrel maker by trade in Germany, he came with some of his family to Sherrill, Iowa. When they came is not clear. Emma Wetter said 1848 and the family is shown in the 1850 Census with a substantial farm, but other records say 1850. Known in US as Carl or Charles Miller. The obituary of their daughter, Sophia, gives 1849 as her year of emigration and it seems likely that this was the year in which most of the family left. I have had no luck identifying a ship.

The area from which he and his wife came was economically poor. His father and grandfather had been school teachers--respected but not paid much. This part of Germany was ravaged during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), and Gersweiler itself was totally depopulated. Few if any original inhabitants were present when it was resettled. The place names of Gersweiler, Malstatt, Ottenhausen, Rettert, etc. were close together and are now just part of the Saarbrücken metropolitan area.

By the time he emigrated, the Saar region was starting to industrialize with far greater use of the local coal mines. This meant relatively more prosperity for the residents, but I suspect that Iowa farmland was a better place to live.
