    •      Anna was 40 years old when she left Germany with her husband, Herman Wiethoff (at age 47) and their three sons, Hermann (at age 19); Heinrich Wilhelm (at age 12); and Heinrich Wilhelm (not more than 7 months of age).
           They made the trip together with Hermann Hünefeld (at age 27); his wife, Christina (at age 21); and their daughter, Catherine (between 7 and 14 months old), also from Ladbergen, Prussia. The trip could not have begun before May 1845, because Heinrich Wilhelm Wiethoff was born in Ladbergen towards the end of that month. The two families were related through the adult women, who were 4th cousins once removed.
