Florentine, as she was known, was born in Almena, Principality of Lippe (in northwestern Germany). At about the age of 17, she; her father; her step-mother, Wilhelmine (nee Meier); her brother, Conrad Heinrich Adolph Wehrmann; her sister, Friederike Henriette Wehrmann; and her half-sister, Dorothea Charlotte Wehrmann; emigrated from Germany. The family departed Bremen aboard the ship Rebecca and landed in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 4, 1851. They settled in eastern Missouri.

In 1853, Florentine married Hermann Heinrich Fiegenbaum and became the mother of 12 children. Records of the marriage, of the births, baptisms and also some deaths of her children are recorded in the archives of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette at Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA.

At some time between 1880 and 1890, Florentine and Hermann moved their family to Lafayette County, Missouri, where they were members of Zion Church in Mayview.
