Hello, I am looking for information on Louis Peter Spies and Elisabeth Catharina Engelhardt. Louis came from Hessen (or Hesse) Darmstadt, Germany when he was about one. Louis was born 13 November 1848. Elizabeth Catharina was born in Rock Run, Stephenson County, Illinois but her father father George "Peter" Engelhardt came from Erbach, Odenwald, Starkenberg, Hessen, Germany, 31 January 1848 aboard the ship "SWITZERLAND". Louis and Elizabeth Catharina settled in Cumberland, Cass County, Iowa. I am trying to connect Louis Peter Spies to Augustus Spies who also came from Hessen (or Hesse) Darmstadt, Germany in 1850 He lived in Wisconsin and later settled in Menominee, Michigan. Augustus was married to Gertrude Prince (PRINTZ) I have the Immigration Lists: New York, 1820-1850 and found Augustus Spies whole family, but I have not found Louis Spies. I will be looking forward to hearing from someone with a connection to these names. Thank you, Cheryl Morales
