BIOGRAPHY: There are different stories as to how this family arrived in the U.S.; one is that Christian and Anna and their four living children came from Germany and settled near Perkins Grove, IL in 1856. There seems to be a little discrepancy with this date though since Johann Heinrich and Johann Kaspar were both married prior to 1850. Another story that is passed down is that Johann Kaspar, Johann Heinrich, & Jacob Wilhelm were stowaways on a ship that was going to the U.S., and when they arrived they split up, Johann going to Illinois, and Heinrich and Jacob going elsewhere.
‌Christian Wilhelm and Anna Maria were married in a religious ceremony on December 8th, 1814 in Evangelisch, Zwingenberg, Starkenburg, Hessen, Germany.1 They had four sons and a daughter, named Christian Wilhem, Jacob Wilhelm, Johann Heinrich, John Caspar and Anna Margaretha.
