He left Germany at the age of 18 in a sailing vessel for Baltimore, MD in 1830. It took 9 weeks on the water. He married Louise Starr November 12, 1844. She was born May 28, 1826 and died February 10, 1882". Children born of this union were John, Henry, William, Kate (Flurshutz), Margaret (Mag Flurshutz), Mary (Mayme - Henry Jammer's mother) and Gertrude Elizabeth (Reuschlein). I have a scanned photo of Gertrude Elizabeth and the contents of a letter written by her granddaughter Marie B. (Long) (Townsend) Stewart. They lived in Allegany County, Cumberland Maryland and spelled their last name as Bachman, Baughman and Bachmann.
