Their family is listed as passengers on the Bremen bark "Caroline", landing in New York on 24 Aug 1844. They came to Wisconsin via Canada, as their youngest daughter Elizabeth was born there in 1846. They eventually settled at Mayville, Dodge, Wisconsin, later moving to Woodville, Calumet, Wisconsin.
