is a son Adolph by his 1st. marriage. He moved to Higginsville,

by his 1st. marriage and is my Great-Great Grandmother Friedericke
Henriette who married Conrad Begemann In Holstein, Warren Co. Mo.
Friedericke Henriette died in 1868 in Truxton, Mo. No. 17 is another
daughter by the 1st. marriage, Charlotte who married Hermann Fiegenbaum
in Holstein, Mo. They had 13 children. No. 18 is a daughter by the
2nd. marriage, Wilhelmine. I have conflicting info on her and would

Wehrmann and his wife in Higginsville, Lafayette Co. Mo. Friedericke
Begemann married Henry Landwehr in Higginsville, Lafayette Co. Mo.

Correspondence July 1, 2001 passengers #50-63 Tholken
I am related to passengers #50-63. Heinrich and Ricka were my great
great great grandparents. Their daughter, Henrietta, who sailed earlier
than this family group, married John Koester. Their son, John Koester,
married Augusta Mann. Their daughter, Cornelia Madora, married Charles
Tucker, my grandparents. This family group settled near Beardstown,
Illinois, (Cass County).
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who belongs to this family line.
