I'm looking for further information on and descendants of my g-g-g-grandfather George LANGGUTH (LANGUTH) who emigrated from Germany to the US in the 1850s with part of his family. One of his sons (my g-g-grandfather) stayed in Germany. George Langguth and two of his sons, Frederic and Louis, settled in Richmond, VA. Facts known by now: GEORG(E) LANGGUTH, born 1801 in Coburg (Germany), lawyer in Coburg and Sonneberg (Germany). Emigrated in January 1855 together with his son LOUIS, destination: Pennsylvania. From 1869 mentioned in Richmond, VA. Died on 18 Aug 1883 in Richmond. His wife (married 1824 in Coburg, Germany): BABETTE RIEDNER, born 1799 in Erlangen (Germany). Emigrated in November 1860 together with her husband, destination: Norfolk. Died between Nov 1860 and June 1870 (in Richmond, VA?). Their sons who settled in Richmond, VA: FREDERICK LANGGUTH, born 1837 in Sonneberg, Germany. Emigrated in May 1853. From 1860 mentioned as a cigar maker in Richmond, VA. According to the 1870 Census of Richmond VA married to Frances, 26 yrs (in 1870), born in VA, one daugther: Barbara, 6 yrs (in 1870). Listed in the 1883/84 Richmond City Directory as a cigar manufacturer, Frederick Langguth & Co. (Frederick Langguth & William Dawson) at 3 E Leigh Street. Frederic died in January 1903, his wife Francis in October 1917. LOUIS (LEWIS) LANGGUTH, born 1839 in Sonneberg, Germany. Emigrated together with his father in January 1855.

Persons probably related to the LANGGUTH family: Louis MULLER, cigar maker, Richmond, VA (1874-80: 706 Brook Ave), mentioned as the owner of the Louis Langguth family plot at Oakwood Cemetery, possibly a son-in-law?
