The John I am looking for is a relation of Barbara and her children, but I do not know how. I think that John may have come to America in advance of other family members since they all lived together in the 1850 census. According to census records, John A. Batzer was 22 in 1841 when he arrived in Baltimore from Germany. He was bor in 1819 in Bavaria. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
