    Notes:

    Birth:

         In the genealogical report compiled by Earl and Linwood Jungerman, the place of John Henry's birth is identified as "Essen Kruis, Essen Prussia." There is some difficulty in determining just what locality is being referred to here. It seems probable that "Kruis" is a misspelling of the German word "Kreis" (an administrative district) and that the punctuation in this phrase may be a little confused. Until we can return to the primary sources for verification, we have tentatively identified this place as the city of Essen in Westphalia. This is pure speculation on our part.

    Immigration:

         John made the seven week voyage from Germany to New Orleans, and then traveled up the Mississippi River to settled in Weldon Springs, Missouri. His older brother had emigrated to the USA in 1842.

         In the genealogical report compiled by Earl and Linwood Jungerman, the place of Sophia's birth is identified as "Ursten and Cappelu Kris, Tecklenburg, Prussia." There is some difficulty in determining just what locality is being referred to here. It seems probable that "Kris" is a misspelling of the German word, "Kreis" and that the punctuation in this phrase may be a little confused.
