I am looking for the naturalization record of John Horten who immigrated from the village of Longuich near Trier in Rhenish Prussia with his wife Catherine in 1853. Passenger list info might also be helpful. He and his family lived in Baltimore City from 1853 - 1859 in Howard County from 1859 - 1865 in Prince Georges County from 1865 - 1874 and in Baltimore City from 1874 - 1895 The Horten family (the name was often misspelled as HORTON) family consisted of: John Horten (b. 1827) and his wife Kate (or Catherine- b. 1822) Deutsch Horten and children Anna (b. 1852), John William (b. 1858), Mary Frances (b. 1861), and Francis Erasmus (b. 1863) All of the adults were German immigrants from Rhenish Prussia in the 1850s and the children before 1859 were born in Baltimore City and baptized at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church and after 1859 in Ellicott Mills and baptized at St Paul Catholic Church. In Ellicott Mills, John Horten & family and his brother-in-law, Frank Deutsch had worked for the Christian Brothers at Rockhill College. They lived in Howard County briefly during the Civil War skirmish -The Raid of Ellicott Mills and moved to Prince Georges County by the end of the war. Most of the Deutsch family remained near Bowie, Maryland when the Hortens returned to Baltimore City in 1874. Thanks for your help.
