Johan Jakob Reinhart (Reinhardt/Reinhard/Rhinehart/etc.), his wife, Anna Marie (Jung)
& their 3-month-old daughter, Anna Marie, arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana in Sep
1850.
The family had lived in Spirkelbach, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany from birth and left there
due to economic reasons. The family settled in Vanderburgh that same year.
Johan Jakob Reinhart (b. 1826) was the son of Friedrich & Elisabeth (Braun) Reinhart.
Anna Marie (Jung) (b. 1826) was the daughter of Michael & Ana Marie Jung.
Johan Jakob's brother, Michael Reinhart, b. 1829, also came to America. In 1855, the
family moved to Buffalo, Scott Co., Iowa.
I would assume that the family had relatives already living in Vanderburgh Co., IN. Does
anyone have roots in Spirkelbach, Germanyy?
(I have a number of letters written to "Jakob" by his brother, Konrad, who
remained in Spirkelbach and Annweiler.)
