William and Henrietta had 7 children that I know of: Friedrich W (b. abt 1840), Wilhelmina (b. 25 Sep 1843), Herman (b. abt 1845), William F (b. Apr 1847), Lizzie (b. abt 1852), Hannah (b. abt 1855), and Charles. Friedrich and Wilhelmina were born in Prussia, Herman and William were born in Ohio, and Lizzie and Hannah were born in Indiana.
In 1845, the family immigrated from Schlage, Prussia (modern day Slawno, Poland) ot the US. They departed from Bremen on 1 Apr 1845 and arrived in New Orleans on 26 Nov 1845.
I have the following censuses for the family:
- 1857 MN Territorial Census in Shakopee, Scott, MN on page 13
- 1865 MN Census in Eagle Creek, Scott, MN as household no. 20
