Emigration

Born in Schäfers house, Wunderthausen. Arrived in New York on the ship S. S. Donau out of Bremen on November 25, 1871. She had been widowed for more than ten years. Several other passengers were from Wunderthausen including her daughter Florentine. I do not know where she lived but it was almost certainly with one or more of her children.

Riedesel Hermann [Male] b. ABT 1450

Earliest documented member of the Westphalian line of Riedesels. Had a knight's estate (Rittergut) in Olpe, near Meschede.

Peter Joseph Strange (1867) asserts that the son Hermann was a child of Bele rather than Catharina. This author goes on to attribute several other children to Catharina, but their known lifespans do not fit at all.

Pott Curt [Male] b. ABT 1635 Bracht, Amt Marburg - d. AFT 1699 Wunderthausen

He had the unusual status of being a free man. Local legends as to his origins and status do not necessarily correspond to what is in the written record. In any case he was a man of some substance.

The house which he occupied came to be known as Kurts (or Curts) Haus locally, although it had been inhabited by his Homrighausen in-laws and before then by Eckharts. In those times the names K/Curt and K/Conrad were interchangeable.

Baptised as Ludwig but known as J. Louis in the US. He was born in Haase Haus in Wunderthausen but was brought to America before his fourth birthday. The extended family arrived in New York on June 7, 1845 and settled immediately in Crawford County, Ohio. His mother died 2-3 years later. His father did eventually remarry but the boy was taken care of by relatives in the meantime. They came to Wheatland in 1855.

It is possible that he owned a small farm in Section 2 of Spring Rock Township in Clinton County as of 1874. Some "L. Riedesel" did, though it could have been his father's as well. He went on to live near Battle Creek, Iowa where he was Vice President of the bank and a member of the city council in 1897. By 1920, they were living in Minnehaha County, South Dakota with their daughter, Bernice. That 1920 Census erroneously gives his age as "88."

Lived near Tingley, Iowa, when first married but moved to Idalia, Colorado in 1887. At the time of the 1850 Census when he was a motherless 2-year old, John was living with the family of Christian Gerhardt (Frau Gerhardt was his father's aunt).

His son George's Social Security application (1936) gives John's middle name as Adolph rather than Albert. He also spelled his mother's name as Catherine rather than Katherine.

Lived in Denver, Colorado, and had a brokerage business there, but also lived in Battle Creek, IA, as early as 1893 when their daughter was born, and as late as 1906 when he is listed in a local directory. Could well be the "A. A. Riedesel" listed in an 1884 directory. The son, Jay, I have listed for J. Louis Riedesel might have been Albert's son instead. At the time of his baptism in 1862, he was referred to as "Martin Alfred."
