"Family lore says that the first Gauen in the US had studied for the
priesthood, left the seminary, married a baroness, fathered five children,
left the baroness for another woman and came to St. Louis, Missouri to
avoid conscription.
Family researchers have found that his full name was Francis Adolph
Freidrich Gauen of Hildesheim, Germany. He married Elizabeth Josephine
Linnekuhl (born 1794, died 8 Jun 1865, Hildesheim).
The manifest of the Ship Johannes, Bremen to Baltimore, shows
Fr. A (a note says 'woman'), five children, Fransziska, Adolphine,
Joseph, George, Charles, and the Widdow (sic) Leonhardt also of
Hildesheim. They traveled as passengers in steerage.
They had traveled for over a month across the stormy north Atlantic Ocean
in winter with five small children in the hold of a ship which was
designed to carry tobacco or cotton, two products which were imported to
Germany by ships out of Baltimore. Thrifty Bremen merchants had no products
to fill the hold on the return trip, so they exported humans to the US.
The 1840 census showed two more children, Jacob and Mary, and the 'widdow'
still in the household. They settled in the St. Louis, Missouri area,
which was being advertised in Germany as "the new Rhineland". There are
many Gauens in the Waterloo and Granite City, Illinois area.
Anyone researching the Gauens may contact Gauen Robert"
