My ggrfather John Pieter W. Becker came to the U.S. June 1853, thru Albany/Buffalo to Noble Co, IN which is 25 mi. north of Ft. Wayne, IN.His journal entry said"We are now here by our people" yet I can find no evidence of family. His mother Maria Catherina Becker was with him, her husband listed as John - also Forster- confilcting info, he died in Germany however.Ft. Wayne has the 2nd largest geneology archives in the U.S. I do my research in the winter so I will see what I can find on your ancestor although I have never heard of any Beckers being Jewish.I can check with the local synagogue and will post if I find anything.
