Thank you. His name was Gottfried Knipfer, he was from Remsa, Germany. He came over on the Barque Diana. They arrived in New York 12 June 1856. He married Wilhelmina Mottchell also from Germany, 9 May 1861 at Musatine,Ia. They finally settled in Fillmore Twp. Iowa Co. Ia. They had five daus. and one son. I have tried to find Willhelmina on passenger lists but no luck. She came into New Orleans. I do not know what year she came over. Again thank you! Louise. (permission not received to add e-mail link) Transcribers Notes: The use of an * indicates an ommission or error made by the original recorder, or a birth or death on the passage. The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the quality of the original document. The last letter in #16 Darna? may be a u or an m. The second letter in #117 S?oll could be a t or a k. The second letter in #134 U?dhard could be a c or an e. The middle letters in #173 Ca???erer look like mm or nim. The last part of #174 Lubcke???? is unreadable but it might be mann. The sex may be incorrect for #14 Louise Ebbert, #15 Marie Weisensel, #16 John Darna?, and #25 Henry Lauensbach. Three passengers died and two were born on the passage. The deaths were #46 Philip C Deissman, #65 Anna Meyer, and #87 Henry Knieriem. The births were #76 Caroline Wilke, and #94 Aug Vogel. Sometimes the given names appear to be abbreviated, as does the occupation servant. U.S. is an abbreviation for United States. Taylor, saylor, and segarmaker are not spelled correctly. Diacritical marks appear over the following letters: The a on #132 Schafer and #164 Marschler; the o on #27 and #28 Mockel, #103 Hodler, #106 and #107 Hohe, and #145 Dohring; the u on #5 Muller, #72 Lutjens, #97 Muglich, #102 Zcnurner, #144 Furenkamp, #148 Lubckeman, #165, #166, and #167 Kummel, and #174 Lubcke????. The burthen in tons was not given. Correspondence 06/13/01 passengers #132 SCHAEFER I believe No. 132 is my great-grandfather, Wilhelm Schaefer--the diacritic "Umlaut" over the letter "a" is indeed how he spelled and signed his name. The age given is perhaps a little off--Wilhelm was born 20 October 1832 in the village of Dreis, Eifel district, Rhineland, and had served in the 30th Royal Prussian Infantry Regiment at Koblenz before emigration. His father, Mother and siblings emigrated separately, on the ship "Washington" at New York 2 May 1856 from Antwerp, Belgium. They were passengers no. 287-293: Johann Schaeffer, age 49, male, occupation farmer, native of Germany, destination US; Anna Lamberty, 56, F (wife); MG (="Magdalena"), 26; Nicolas 20, M; Johan 20; Susanna, 12; Anna M, 22. Although there are some inconsistencies (lacking gender ID, or ages that are slightly variant from original birth records) all the information confirms this to be the data for the Johann Schaefer family from Dreis. The emigration permit at the state archives in Koblenz states that Johann and family had received authority to emigrate and that one son (Wilhelm) who was in military service. Wilhelm Schaefer first settle in present day Minneapolis the moved north to Stearns Co., MN where he settled in Rockville Township. His first wife, Anna Maria Pick and two children died in an epidemic. He married in May 1862 Katharina Kellner (1843-1923) from Regensburg, Bavaria, daughter of Georg Michael Kellner and Franziska Jobst of Cold Spring. Five children were born of this union at Meadow Book Farm, Grand Lake, Rockville, all in a log cabin he built in 1860: Maria Anna (Mary--my grandmother), Katharina, Nikolaus, Theresia and Johann Wilhelm (John W.) Nikolaus died 10 August 1869, his baby sister Theresia four days later of an epidemic. Grandmother recalled her father building two small coffins to bury these infants on the farm. Wilhelm dedicated himself to agriculture, built a home in Cold Spring City and in 1900 retired to Fruitvale (now Oakland) CA to be near his daughters' families who moved there. His obituary in the German language newspaper, the "St. Josephs=Blatt", in Mount Angel OR states he was a true German pioneer (echter Deutscher Bannbrecher). Both Wilhelm and his wife Katharina Schaefer are buried in the family plot at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Hayward, CA. Josef M. Schmitt, Oakland, CA. Correspondence 03/23/2004 passengers #89-93 Vogel I have found a relative on the passenger list of the Barque Diana. No. 89 Christ Vogel age 35 and his wife No. 90. They had a son born on ship No. 94 Aug (Augustus) Vogel and also other children listed No. 91, 92, and 93. If anyone has any information about these passengers please contact me. They came from Bremen, Germany and settled in Michigan. Augustus Vogel married and Christan and Freda Vogel were in Seneca Co., Water Loo, New York. Eva
