Correspondence 4/5/01 passengers 3, 4, 6, 11, 14, 16

This ship's captain used an abbreviated format and misspelled some 
passenger and place names, but the info listed is sufficient to identify 
several who joined a pioneer German settlement in the Lake Creek area 
of Benton and Pettis Counties in Missouri, and adjoining Morgan County 
(see German Immigrants): 

#3 is the Cord Meyer family from Rhadereistedt, Hanover, who appear 
in the 1840 Benton County, Missouri census.  Cord died at Lake Creek 
1843, his wife Tibke Gerken in 1898. Their son Jost Meyer married 
Margaret Schnakenberg in Benton County 1845, and his brother Henry 
married Margaret Oelrichs 1851.  Jost died there 1904, Henry 1896.

#4 is John Ohlrogge from Ummel, a tiny spot between Kirchtimke and 
Hepstedt, Hanover.  #6 is John's brother Henry Ohlrogge from nearby 
Rhade, Hanover.  John and Henry are in the Pettis County, Missouri 
census 1840 and in  Benton County 1850. John's daughter Gesche married 
Joseph Schwickrath in Benton County 1843. By 1860 John had moved back 
to Pettis County, and died there 1865, his wife Gesche in Benton County 
1912.  Henry's daughter Margaret married Cord Schroeder of Benton 
County 1853, and Henry & wife Anna Viets resided with them 1860.  
Henry died in Benton County 1866, Anna in 1887. 
 
#11 is Gesche Blohm from Altenbülstedt, Hanover who married 
Martin Kueck of Morgan County, Missouri ca 1840. Martin died 1844, 
and Gesche then married Frederick Wahlers of Morgan County in 1845.  
Gesche died there 1896.  Gesche's sisters Tibke Holtzen and 
Becke Gehlken lived near her in Benton and Morgan Counties.

#14 is the Lütje (Louis) Kahrs family from Altenbülstedt, Hanover 
who settled in the Lake Creek community of Pettis County, Missouri. 
(The list should read "and wife") Louis' wife Gesche died ca 1844, 
and he married Dorothy Kahrs 1845. (There were several marriages 
between apparently unrelated Kahrs families)  Louis' daughter Adelheid 
married Andreas Holzbeierlein of Cole County in 1853.  Louis died at 
Lake Creek 1881, Dorothy 1875.

#16 is Mary Kahrs from Neuenbülstedt, who married Cord Kahrs from 
Altenbülstedt in St Louis 1840, and joined the other Kahrs families 
in Pettis County. (As stated above, the two Kahrs lines from 
neighboring villages have not been found to be related)
