Texas was written on the first line only. There were no ditto marks.

at Jade. Heinrich was the last of six Heinsohn brothers to immigrate
to Texas between 1845 and 1850. He settled his family near Frelsburg
in Colorado County, but both he and his wife died within about a year
of their arrival. Their son, Diedrich, was raised by his uncle.
Diedrich married Wilhelmine Frels January 20, 1876 at Frelsburg, Texas.
However, he died three years later on June 6, 1879 without issue.

Correspondence January 17, 2008 - Passengers 105-111 GENZ
I am a decendent of Christopher & Charlott Genz, listed on the Bark Neptune
from Breman, arriving in Galveston June 13, 1850.
Our information:
GEORGE CHRISTIAN GENTZ was born 11 Aug 1794 in Usedom, Prussia, and died
1868 in Port Neches (Grigsby Bluff), Texas. He married CHARLOTTE UECKER
Abt. 1827 in Usedom, Prussia. She was born 1798 in Usedom, Prussia, and
died Aft. 1880 in Port Neches (Grigsby Bluff), Texas.
George Christian and Charlotte Gentz and their six grown children moved
to Wiess Bluff in Jasper County, Texas, a few years before moving back
to Grigsby’s Bluff about 1853, where in 1858 they built their home at
Block’s bayou (now Oak Bluff Memorial Park), on land belonging to
T. F. McKinney.
George Christian Gentz was first burial in Oak Bluff (marker in place).
After Christian Gentz’ death in 1868 at age 75, the house and land were
purchased by Albert Block, born in Germany in 1840, who arrived from Breman
in 1846. Many other Gentz's were buried in old family cemetery on William
Gentz property (sold to DuPont Chemical in 1950's and cemetery remains moved
to Forest Lawn in Beaumont, under T.F. Smith Homestead markers) and Magnolia
Cemetery, also in Beaumont.
