They came to U.S. in 1880. Her father was Frederich Baier/Beyer and mother was Wilhemina Krinke. She had a brother August Beyer b. Feb. 13, 1861, as well as 4 other brothers. I have tracked the Behnke family but not the Baier/Beyer/Bayer family. I understand they spread all over Texas. There may be a connection here.
