Immigration:
Maria Wilhelmine was less than 1 year old when she emigrated from the Hohne section of Lengerich, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia with her father, Adolph (age about 40), her mother, Christine (age about 37), and four brothers and sisters (ages 13 to about 4 years). In a autobiographical sketch she wrote when she was 71 years old, Wilhelmine remarked, "The voyage lasted fourteen weeks. I was the smallest of all the passengers, and was so ill that the travelling-companions frequently said to my apprehensive mother that she should not give herself so much trouble with the little thing for that was destined for the fishes."
The family is reported to have disembarked at New Orleans, Louisiana in late June 1834 and to have traveled up the Mississippi, arriving at St. Louis, Missouri about 3 or 4 July. They appear to have settled initially in Femme Osage Township, St. Charles County, Missouri and moved a few years later to nearby Hopewell, in Warren County, Missouri. Around 1850, Wilhelmine's parents and at least two brother still living at home settled near Wapello, Louisa County, Iowa.
