Johan-georg Wolfrum b. 17 Feb 1842, his mother Anna Chath b. abt 1808, sister, Johanne Chath b. abt 1830 and his brother Johannikel b abt 1839 came to New Orleans from Breman Germany aboard the ship Louisiana landing 21 Oct 1852. The ship log states this family is from Bavaria. My curiosity is what happened to this family while they were in New Orleans. I can't seem to document their time there. I find a record of two Wolfrum's that could be mine listed in the source The Epidemic Summer on the Orleans Parish site. Wolffr_m, Nicholas, 14 year old from Germany, died of fever 16 July 1853 and is buried in Lafayette Cemetery. Walfron, Catherin, 25 years old from Germany died of fever 18 July 1853. Buried in Charity Hospital Cemetery. I have checked Charity Hospital records through LDS for the years of 1850-1859 and these two were not listed. There are two versions of family members telling what happened to all the family except George who died in 1918. First version is that ALL except George died of the fever and left him orphan. Second version is that mother and brother died and left the sister and George. The sister married a wealthy man and wanted to send George to learn medicine. George became a farmer. In 1860 George is in Louisville, Jefferson Ky. Enlisted in 1st Ky Cavalry, Conf. for the duration of the war. Then I lose him until 1878 when he shows up in Texas and there he stays until his death. Any help appreicated. Pat Freeman Texas
