Kind(er):
Mariah came to the United States in 1866 with her two sons, Herman and Henry. In the 1880 census, Mariah was living with Herman and family in Waymansville, Indiana, and marital status was "widowed".
Behrman Immigration:
In this writing, you will see different spellings for Behrman. Having multiple spellings for the surnames was quite common. Different spellings make finding records more challenging! Once the families came to the USA, they usually settled on a spelling.
Copies of microfilm from the National Archives were reasearched by Dr. Antonius Holtmann at Oldenburg University, Oldenburg, Germany, and Don Clausing. According to those records, Mariah Beermann and her sons were from Osnabruck, Hannover, and their destination was Cincinnati, Ohio. They embarked from the port of Bremen, Germany, on 21 April 1866, and arrived in the port of Baltimore U.S.A. on June 4, 1866 on the Ship Admiral. Mariah was accompanied by her two sons, Hermann Heinrich and Henry Gerhard. In addition, a Carolina Beermann had the same manifest number as the previous Beermanns. Therefore, she must have been traveling with them. Her occupation was listed as "servante". Perhaps, she was a relative, but she is not believed to be a daughter, because there was no daughter in the 1852 German census. Also, she was not listed with the Beermanns in the 1870 U.S. census. Her relationship to the Beermanns in unknown, and remains a mystery.
Another person traveling with the Beermanns from Osnabruck was Mary Utthoff, who is listed as "servante". According to Anke Waldmann, researcher in Germany, the 1852 German census shows a foster child in the family named Catharine Engel Uthoff, age 7. The same census also revealed a son called Clamor, age 4. Clamor was not with the family in 1866. Perhaps he emigrated before 1866 or maybe died in Germany.
According to Don Clausing, it took about six weeks for the sailing ships to get here from Germany, and that depended on the winds. Previously, I had been told that the Beermann family came into the port of New Orleans. Since they came into Baltimore, I don't know how they got to Cincinnati. Don said, "By 1866, I am guessing that there was good train service from Baltimore to Cincinnati. Earlier immigrants took a canal that went to western Maryland. It originally had been planned to go to the Ohio River, but it did not make it all the way. So then they had to go overland to the Ohio, or possibly they reached the Monongahela, and thus to the Ohio."
Don Clausing found the following information at http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/Suche.aspx?Familie=Auswanderern
It is a web site for emigrants from Hannover. He found this record:
1. Beermann, Hermann Heinrich
2. 07.11.1839, Jeggen Pf Schledehausen A Os
3. ?
4. Beermann, m'e4nnl., Heuerling, Jeggen
5. keine
6. ?
7. Gutenberg (Nordamerika)
8. 09.04.1858
9. ?
10. Sein Onkel wohnt in Amerika
The record says that Hermann is going to Guttenberg, which is in Clayton County, Iowa. The last line says "his uncle lives in America." Gerhard Heinrich Walke married Catharine Elisabeth Behrman, who was a sister to Wilhelm Heinrich Behrman, the father of Hermann and Henry. Mr. Clausing believes that since Hermann's aunt married a Walke living in Iowa, it seems logical that he would go there. Since he was only nineteen years old, he would likely go to a relative.
The Walke/Beermann family came to the USA aboard the Anna Delius, arriving in New Orleans from Bremen on 13 May 1854. Don said that Guttenberg was a major port on the Mississippi River, so it would have been the entry point into Clayton County for people coming up the river. He thinks that Hermann probably went back to Schledehausen, Germany, when his father died in 1865, and then returned to the U.S.A. with his mother and brother in 1866.
On Henry G's death record, it says his mother's maiden name was Huldebrink. However, I found it translated from the German records with these alternate spellings: Hurlbrink, Hurdelbrink, and Huddelbrink. According to Don Clausing, the marriage records show her surname as Hurdelbrink, but the first child's record shows the spelling Huddelbrink.
Herman Heinrich's confirmation record shows the name Behrmann. However, subsequent church records show Beermann. In addition, some of the stones in Waymansville Lutheran cemetery have the name spelled BEERMAN.
