From additional research in other sources we now know that the Fiegenbaums were part of an extended family of at least 13 people who emigrated at this same time from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia aboard the Leontine.
Johann Heinrich (1788-1861 - at age 53), his wife Catharina Elisabeth (born Hagen; 1786-1853 - at age 54), and their two youngest children, Christina Elisabeth (1819-1896 - she turned 22 near the end of the voyage) and Hermann Heinrich (1823-1898 - at age 18) comprised one family unit.
Joining them were the two married Fiegenbaum daughters who emigrated with their own families - the Aufderhaars and the Bierbaums.
Anna Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Aufderhaar (1811-1884), the eldest child, traveled with her husband and their three children.
Rounding out the group was Anna Christine Elsabein (Fiegenbaum) Bierbaum (1815-1894), her husband, their infant son, and Sophia Bierbaum, Anna Christine's sister-in-law (age 18 according to the passenger list).
It would appear that Heinrich Adolf Fiegenbaum (1814- ? ), the second child, emigrated in 1843. We presently have no further information about him.
