  Notes	Immigrated with his father to Texas in 1853. Family notes say that he was from "Freyburg, Hanover, Germany." The baptismal records for his parents' generation are from “Freiburg, Kehdringen, Hannover, Preußen.” See the German Wikipedia page on Königreich Hannover. Freiburg was part of Kehdingen in what is now Lower Saxony. He and his older brother Heinrich are mentioned in the Handbook of Texas on-line as cabinet makers; he specialized in undertaking, and making coffins. They are recorded in the 1880 census as residing in Chappell Hill, Washington Co., Texas. There are two small boxes which he made that survive in the family. There are also two rocking chairs (one small, for a child, and one large), and a round parlor table. His two oldest sons Jacob and Heinrich died of yellow fever in 1867. Both are also said to have served in the CSA. This family is all buried in the same cemetery in Chappell Hill, Texas, but dates from the bible differ from the cemetery as recorded on findagrave. [3]
