The family came from Germany, sailing from Bremen aboard the ship "New York", they arrived in New York on 13 Oct 1834. This is found in "Port Arrivals, Port of New York". It is said that the family first moved to Cincinnatti but soon took up residence in Franklin Co. I believe that there is considerable information in the records for St. Peters Church at Klemme's Corner. Unfortunately, it was all recorded in German.
