8 Notes for Ludwig Heinrich Riedesel: Known as L. Henry in America. Came to this country in 1845 with his parents, wife and two known children, three siblings, and the fiance of his brother, J. Ludwig, who came here in The families lived first at Galion, Ohio. An epidemic (presumably cholera or influenza, and certainly not "the plague") claimed the lives of the older couple, Henry's wife Amalia, and their daughter Anna. As of the 1850 census, he was living with his older son in the household of Franz and Anna Homrighausen. 2-year old John was living with the Christopher/Christian Gerhard family. Henry and Franz are listed as farmers though with no stated real estate value (they didn't own the land). In 1852 (later than previously believed), Henry and his brother, George, walked from Ohio to Iowa to purchase land. A Davenport-based land agent took them to the area that was to become Wheatland in the Spring Rock Township of Clinton County. Before returning to their families, they walked to Iowa City to register the deeds. The story is that the land cost less than they expected so they could afford to return by river boat rather than walking; this took them down the Mississippi and then up the Ohio River. Henry and his family actually moved to Wheatland in The 100-year anniversary history of St. Paul's Church says that L. Henry and Elisabeth came in 1852 but this seems incorrect since Crawford County marriages say the marriage took place on November 21, 1854, which we will take as authoritative. Henry was naturalized on the same date--november 21, at Galion. Others in the family bought land and moved to Wheatland. The town was officially founded in 1858 when the railroad came through. Prior to this time, it was very much an open frontier with limited communications and transportation to the outside world. Life was tenuous. In , several children from the Riedesel and Dürr families (and probably others) died of diphtheria. Henry was a founder of the German Reformed Church in Wheatland (St. Paul's) and served as one of the first Trustees in He donated the initial half acre for the cemetery of St. Paul's Church. His land was to the north and east of Wheatland, and most of it has remained in family hands. Before the founding of St. Paul's in 1861, he is recorded as a founding member of a German Reformed congregation or community (Gemeinde) in In 1878, Henry built a new house to replace the cabin in which they had lived since coming to the area. Notes for Maria Amalia Riedesel: Although her parents did not marry, Maria Amalia was apparently known as Riedesel. This was the name recorded at the time of her marriage. Her father's identity was acknowledged though what became of him is not known. Numerous other secondary sources give her name as Beitzel. This is not wrong in a technical sense but I am opting for the name she was evidently known by. 7. ii.

9 well. They remained in Ohio until 1855 when they moved on to the Wheatland, Iowa, area. Before the founding of St. Paul's in 1861, he is recorded as a founding member of a German Reformed congregation or community (Gemeinde) in In 1881, they moved again to a place north of Glidden, Iowa. At the end of his life he was living with his daughter, Florentine Beckman in Wheatland, but died at a hospital in the county seat of Clinton. J.

Notes for Maria Elisabeth Althaus: Born in Haase Haus, It is very likely that she was the "M E Alhaus" who arrived in Baltimore on the ship "James" on September 30, 1833 with her brother Ludwig as well as the entire Gerhard family. The obituaries differ on where she and Christian were married, but Baltimore seems more likely. Eventually they moved to Wheatland to live with their daughter and son-in-law, and that is where they are buried. Notes for Christian Gerhard: Born in the house called "Pauls" in the village of Elsoff (slightly south of Wunderthausen). Came to America with several family members on the ship "James" which arrived in Baltimore on September 30, The whole Gerhard family located very soon to Crawford County where they all acquired land in the Jackson Township (later divided with their portion called the Jefferson Township. There can be no question that it was their presence in Crawford County, Ohio, that drew the Riedesel family there in It was probably after 1870 that they moved from Ohio to live with the family of George and Elisabeth (Gerhard) Riedesel in Wheatland. They are listed as members of St. Paul's Church in 1879 and in the 1880 Census. The 1850 Ohio Census gives both of their places of birth as Pennsylvania, but this is incorrect. Living next to them was a Jacob Gerhard (age 37) and family; this matches a brother born in A second likely brother found in this Census was John, age 48..
