Early Records

Notes:

1. Franz and Anna Kornumpf returned to Germany briefly in 1900. This is the record of their entry into the USA upon their return.

2. Dorothea Kornrumpf was the wife of Hermann Kornrumpf (1855-19xx) in Göttingen The passenger list states that her destination was Hemlock, MI. It also states that she was meeting her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Rev. Kares [Cares].

3. The passenger lists states that her destination was Buffalo, IA and that she was meeting her cousin, Peter Lauschen and brother ? Gallant.

4. The passenger lists states that her destination was Seattle WA and that she was meeting her brother, Ernst Nictmann Diemarden [? handwriting is hard to read].

5. The place of residence is probably Kassel, Hesse, which is written as "Casel" on the passenger list.

6. Amalie and Paul Kornrumpf were the children of Hermann Kornrumpf in Göttingen. The ship's list states that their final destination was Port Huron, MI and that they were joining their uncle Frank [Kornrumpf] in St. Clair Co, MI. Amalie married Rev. Franz Cares and died in 1962 in Saginaw, MI. Records in the Göttingen Stadtarchiv show that Paul returned to Göttingen in May 1902, moved to Hannorver in 1903, returned in 1904 and left for the final time in 1905. The ship's list shows that he sailed again to the USA in 1909. He died in Sacramento, CA in 1953.

7. Capt. Kaspar was commander of a Hessen-Hanau Jaeger company that was sent by the British to Canada in 1777. Unfortunately the captain, weakened by severe seasickness, became ill in Canada and died in early July 1777 at Montreal. We know this from the company reports to their ruler, the Landgrave of Hessen-Hanau.
