My great grandfather was Casper Oberdorfer who was born and lived in Huetten now part of Schelklingen near Ulm. He married Mary Schultheis who was born in Steinfurth, now part of Bad Nauheim north of Frankfurt a.m. They settled in Taylor and Hadring Pa and had 13 children.
There might have been others on the ship from the same area.
