I saw your post from 2001 regarding Johann Balthasar Ludwig Albrecht Daum, whom I believe was from Hochst, Hesse near Darmstadt.
My Great-Great Grandfather was Georg(e) L(udwig) Daum born near Darmstadt in 1803 or 1809 (I have conflicting information on this date).His wife was Anna Catherine Schauer (or Schoner)
He emigrated to The States in 1853 and settled east of Canton, Ohio in the area around Mapleton, or Osnaburg, now East Canton. His son Lewis Daum was my great Grandfather, born near Darmstadt, who spent most of his life in Stark County.
I have found references on the web which list two sons of a Johann Balthasar Ludwig Albrecht Daum as a Johannes Daum, born Aug 26 1798 in Hochst, Hesse, who died Nov 2 1884 in Stark County and a Georg Ludwig Daum, born Jan 22 1803 in Hochst, Hesse.
I hoped you might be able to illuminate whether the two Georg Daums were the same person.If so, I would delighted to share information on Georg Ludwig Daum’s descendants with you
