My GG Jacob Pees and his whole family came from Baumholder Germany in 1849 and settled in Port Washington Ohio .His father Wilhelm was a farmer . Some time just before 1860 he came to Belleville . He married Fredericka Amlung and raised a family there . He was a Shoemaker by trade and had a shop on Main street . I have not found out why he came to Belleville and I would like to know if anyone else has relatives that came from Fort Washington . I think he would have had to know someone there for him to come there . I don't think there were any Pees family there before he came . Thanks for any help on this . Sonny Eardley
