"It is highly probable that J. H. KERSTEN and JOHN UTHLAUT brought their families to America with the "Thirty-twoers".... To alleviate another doubt, we may have to concede that J. H.

It is an established fact that ERNEST KERSTEN [sic], his son, was less than one year old when he arrived on our shores, and he was born on July 7, 1832."
