Notes:
Birth:
Anna Elisabeth's family was living at Overbeck 16 at the time of her birth. Overbeck is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen.
A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. The number 16 would indicate that this was the 16th farm established in this Bauerschaft.
During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire.
In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems).
After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen).
Baptism:
Anna was baptized in the evangelical church at Ladbergen.
Immigration:
Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), her husband, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Aufderhaar (about age 32), and their three children at the time (about ages 8, 4 and less than 2 years) emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia.
This family group was joined by Anna Elisabeth's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and her husband's unmarried sister. Also in the party were Anna Elisabeth's parents and 2 of their younger, unmarried children.
In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841.
The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri.
Buried:
Anna was buried in the cemetery located south of and next to the brick church dedicated in 1884 as the German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein and know since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ.

Anna's death was recorded in the register of the German Evangelical Immanuels Church, at Holstein, Missouri. She lived to the age of 72 years, 11 months and 15 days.
