Used the name "John H." in America. Born in the house known as Schreiners or Grosseludwigs in Wunderthausen. Arrived October 25, 1854 in New Orleans on the ship "Auguste" from Bremen in the company of other Wunderthäuser. May have first settled in Iowa City but was in Wheatland by 1860. He initially farmed north of Wheatland in Section 3 of the Spring Rock Township of Clinton County (I think), but later records say the family had property south of town near Big Rock. Three of his (much younger) brothers also settled around Wheatland but it is difficult to tell how close they were.

Known as George. Born in Schwarze Haus, Wunderthausen. Came to the U.S. on the ship Salier out of Bremen, arriving in New York on October 4, 1881. He lived first at Paola, Kansas, before going to Wheatland. He worked at the L.H. Homrighausen rolling mill, and played in the town band. He then farmed and built houses. Following the death of his first wife--the daughter of Wunderthausen emigrants--he returned to Germany. There he married Lisette Riedesel and they came back to Wheatland to live. This trip was on the ship Bremen out of Bremen, landing in New York on September 24, 1902. The rest of her family followed four years later.

His first farm was in Section 20, his second in Section 19 of the Spring Rock Township of Clinton County.

Preceded parents and other siblings to the U.S. She traveled on the ship Rhein out of Bremen and landed in Baltimore on June 24, 1903. Also on the ship was a 23-year old Georg Strackbein whom I have not been able to identify. I think he was a Wunderthausen cousin who came as an escort and to visit relatives before returning home.

Her older sister, Lisetta, had come the year before.

Born in Weymers Haus in Wunderthausen. Her husband, Georg Ludwig Kroh, had gone to Wheatland years before, been married and widowed, and returned to Wunderthausen. They had one child in Germany before returning to America and Wheatland.

They came to America on ship Bremen out of Bremen, landing in New York on September 24, 1902. She was known by her middle name, often spelled Lisetta. Her given first name is spelled variously in different sources. However, the church record from Wunderthausen says 'Emilie' which is proper German spelling as is 'Lisette.'

Born in Wagners Haus in Wunderthausen. She probably spent parts of her childhood in both Wunderthausen and Diedenshausen, wherever her (single) mother had employment. She was only nine when her mother died. In 1879, her (half?) brother Louis who had gone to America died suddenly on his farm near Wheatland. He had no heirs in America but the church elders knew of Anna. They invited her to come to America to claim that inheritance and start a new life. Apparently it took some convincing, but she finally did so in the company of several other young people with a Ludwig Lückel (almost certainly from Girkhausen) as a kind of chaperone for the group. They traveled on the ship Neckar out of Bremen, landing in New York May 29, 1880.

Anna, Herr Lückel, and at least some others traveled on to Iowa. It almost certain that they went by the Ohio River to St. Louis and then up to Davenport or Clinton. She signed a Quit Claim with Herr Lückel for $120. Surely he had paid for her passage and was repaid once they got to Wheatland. He returned to Germany. It took a while to finally settle her brother's estate but Anna now owned land that apparently remained in her name. She had only been at Wheatland for a couple of months when she married Louis D. Riedesel. Whether this was arranged in advance or just happened is anybody's guess. My guess is that the relationship developed after her arrival. The Riedesel brothers were close neighbors and good farmers.
