Born in Schmidts/Lieses Haus in Wunderthausen. Came to America on the ship Louise, docking in Baltimore on June 3, 1841. There are no other Wittgensteiners that I can recognize among the 300+ passengers. She was without question coming to join her brother who had arrived a few years before. For luggage she had "one little box."

Title: Baltimore, Passenger Lists, 1820-1964
Publication: Name: Ancestry.com Operations Inc; Location: Provo, UT, USA; Date: 2006;

Born at Petersgrund near Wunderthausen and came to America with her husband and one child on the ship "Palmer" that arrived in Baltimore in July 1834. It is a good guess that the child was her son, Georg Gabriel, who was born out of wedlock. Whether Schmidt was the father is not recorded. They wound up in Milwaukee.

Riedesel John [Male] b. 1844 Stralsund, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - d. 3 DEC 1924 Cook County, Illinois

As of 1880, he was working as tailor and they lived in the city of Chicago. By 1900 they were divorced and Dora/Dorothea was living back in Kane County.

Riedesel Friedrich [Male] b. 1816 Glewitz Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - d. BET 1880 AND 1900 Kane County, Illinois

This Friedrich Riedesel was born around 1816 near the city of Stralsund in western Pomerania (Vorpommern). One secondary source pinpoints his birthplace as Glewitz (a village near Stralsund); there are other references to a a place called Campe/Camper/Kamper which is at best a wide spot in the road. Local church records are spotty and have not been recorded by the LDS. We do know that the family name existed in this area by the 1500s and that the spelling varied between Riedesel and Rietesel. I have found no birth record for him so do not know any of his ancestry.

An 1863 passenger list (Hamburg to Quebec) lists this family with children Caroline 23, Sophie 14, Wilhelm 9, and Marie 5. The ship was the 'Main' out of Hamburg departing on May 2, 1863. This record gives his former residence as "Camper" which was a tiny place close to the tiny place of Nehringen. The oldest daughter, Johanna, was not on this ship but is probably the "Anna" in an 1870 Census record. The ship was the "Main" and left Hamburg on May 2, 1863.

Like many other emigrants from the Stralsund area, they settled in Dundee, Kane County, Illinois west of Chicago. Who they already knew there, we don’t know, but it is a safe bet that they were part of a chain migration. Both Friedrich and Marie disappear from public records I have between 1880 and 1900. Secondary sources I have seen give her place of birth as Nossendorf/Demmin, also in western Pomerania. I have the names of five children but more were likely.
