I first found them in the 1850 census in Newark, NJ. Their first child, Rachel was born in NY in 1841. They were living in NY when their 3rd child Hanna was born in 1845. It's odd to me that Karl came from Bavaria with a non-sounding German name. I was wondering if there is an area in Bavaria where the names of Adam and Kloss would be concentrated so I might be able to trace Karl's German roots.
