Dear "Franconians,"
This list has brought me luck so far, so I'll try again:
I am looking for info on Johann Koenig, aka John King, born supposedly in
Jan. (?) 1811. He came from Marktheidenfeld. His father's name was Andreas.
Johann might have served in the Bavarian Army before he went to America about
1848 or 1849. He lived alternately in Baltimore and Washington until the
Civil War years, then he settled permanently in Baltimore. Census records and
family legend have him as a basket maker. Does anyone have any mention of
him or his parents in Marktheidenfeld? I am trying to track his lineage.
Thanks!
Denise
