Bohnerts from Baden, Germany
Barbee Perrance 1/22/01
Daniel Bohnert, born June 17, 1806 and his wife, Mary, born Feb 13, 1806 came to the U.S. early in 1841.Their first son, Ferdinand was born Dec 1841, in Lexwan, Pike County, PA.They moved to New York where Daniel worked as a shoemaker and where their other children were born: Daniel, Jr., Mary, and Anna.They moved to Pleasant Plains, Illinois and farmed where their children grew up and married.Ferdinand and his family pioneered to Kansas.I have no information on the family in Baden but have been told by German Bohnerts that there are many Bohnerts in Baden to this day...matter of fact, there was supposed to be a little hamlet by the name "Bohnerthofe" in Baden.
