The only documented mention I have of him is as the father of an illegimate child in 1830. I strongly suspect that he was the brother of the man known as "Johann Georg Fey."
She was still alive in 1880.
I wish I knew more of her life story! Though born in the U.S., she married a German national and had two sons in Germany. She died and was cremated in Dresden during World War II. It is possible that she died because of the war, but Dresden itself was only (and controversially) bombed by the Allies in February, 1945. At least the older son was in America by the time of her death, and both sons died here. Her husband's family had noble origins, though were not necessarily well-to-do.
According to a Biographical Directory of the United States Congress:
A Representative from Wisconsin; born in Baltimore, Md., July 22, 1838; moved with his parents to Massillon, Stark County, Ohio, and later, in 1844, to Milwaukee, Wis.; attended the public schools; became a millwright; member of the common council of Milwaukee 1868-1872; served in the State assembly in 1878; again a member of the common council 1880-1882 and 1884-1887; city comptroller 1882-1884; elected as a Labor Party candidate to the Fiftieth Congress (March 4, 1887-March 3, 1889); unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1888 to the Fifty-first Congress; was an architect and builder; elected a member of the board of aldermen of Milwaukee, Wis., in 1898 and served until his death in Milwaukee, Wis., September 16, 1916; remains were cremated and the ashes interred in Union Cemetery.
She went to America with her husband on the ship "Mary" in 1796. It sailed from Hamburg to Philadelphia. I don't know any more.
He enlisted in the First Light Artillery of the Maryland Volunteers. on September 18, 1861. I have not been able to identify the action in which he died (or if he died of disease, which accounted for more of the casualties of his unit.
Reportedly born in Wunderthausen, most likely in the house Auf der Leye. It is almost certain that she accomopanied her mother to America in 1835 on the ship Apollo, sailing from Bremen to New York. Several others from the village were on board, and we know that some of them settled in Warren County, New Jersey.
She was a widow at the time of her marriage to George; she had been a Klaehn or Klahn.

He had 11 children with his second wife, but I have not listed them.
Theresa was one of three persons drowned in a boating accident which capsized in a sudden squall about 250 feet from the boathouse dock in Lake Michigan at South Shore park.
I am guessing at her christened name, but she was known as Minnie (Mae?) Katie.
His birth is not recorded but other documents identify him as a son of Theiss Trapp. Among other things, he worked as a smith in Langewiese.
Also referred to as Theis is some records.
