Mary Hobein's Ancestors — Deutsch from Lechenich (Rhine-Prussia) to Chicago and Schneider from Gymnich (Rhine-Prussia) to Chicago

Please if you would like more information, or if some of these people look familiar to you.

Adolph Deutsch, a laborer, and his wife Apollonia nee Schneider came in 1854 with their children (Anna) Marie (1842-1922), Jacob/Jakob (1847-1897), (Anna) Clara (1847-1925), and John/Johann (1850-1883) from Rhine-Prussia to Chicago, IL. There they had another daughter, Gertrude (1858-?). The family was Roman-Catholic. For the most part, the family remained in Chicago, but shortly before his death in 1883 (possibly to recuperate from an accident or illness) John and his wife, Katherine Schild, moved to Rubicon, WI, where he died at the home of his father-in-law.

Passage: ship Peterhof, arrived in New York on October 7, 1854, from Antwerp. On the same ship were the families of Peter Joseph Deutsch (Adolph's brother), Mathias Schneider, and Johann Schneider, probably half-brothers of Apollonia.

Among the children, Marie married August Williams, then Charles Kästner (1826-1910, of Neustadt, Saxony). Jacob married Anna Regina Schoenewald (1853-1917, of Chicago). Clara married August Otto Arnoldi (1838-1910, of Neuried/Trier). John married Katherine Schild (1856-1923, of Wisconsin). Gertrude married Jacob Ziegler (1851-?, of Germany).

This family came from Blessem and Gymnich, near Cologne. I have traced back about 10 generations to the nearby towns of Müddersheim, Golzheim, Türnich, and others. This family ties into the published genealogy of Otto Kurth/Curtius (1653-?), pastor of Golzheim.
