Note: The woman listed as Anartree Frosh appears to be Anna Catherine (Wasmuth) Frosch, who married Henry Frosch, Sr. and immigrated with him in 1846. His surname is misspelled the same way in the 1850 census. He had remarried to Catherine Leutdorf on February 16, 1850. Information from Chris Schultz.
Please contact Rox Ann Johnson with corrections.
