My great-grandfather was from Lutgeneder in Kries Warburg. His name was
August Knaup, and he emigrated to the U.S. in 1854, arriving at New
Orleans.
There is at least one more Knaup who emigrated from the Hoexter area to the USA:
Knaup Friedrich Heinrich
from Borgentreich
born 20.11.1826
emigrated in1853 to St.Louis
