In 1846 he m. Anna Frey dau of Peter Frey and Ann Sommerfeld. They immigrated to the US aboard the SS Nederland, arriving in Philadelphia in Jul 1875. The family may have lived briefly in Minnesota before settling in Silver Lake in Hutchinson Co., Dakota Territory where Peter and his sons are listed in the 1880 census. Peter and Anna had 11 children born between 1848 and 1871: Anna 1848, Peter 1850, Helena 1852, Heinrich 1854, Jacob 1857, Sarah 1859, John 1860, Elizabeth 1863, Johan 1865, Benjamin 1868 and Isaac 1871. I believe that shortly after Anna Frey Adrian died in Jan of 1880, Peter married my gggrandmother, Susanna Kroeker Kopp/Koop in South Dakota. I would like to hear from descendants of Peter's who may have information on this marriage. I also have quite a bit of information on this Adrian family that I would be happy to share.
