Elisabeth begged her father to take her to America to find a husband. Perhaps she was following after a young man she loved who had immigrated. Many 2nd and 3rd sons left for land and fortune in America, since they wouldn't inherit family farms.
2593 (a) Elis. Bründermann aus Ochtrup, Dienstmagd (b) 7. 12. 1825 (c) Gerh. Herm. Bründermann, Leibzüchter (o) 1846 (p) Nordamerika .... Her father returned to Ochtrup to bring the rest of the family to the USA in 1847.
No records yet found to indicate what happened to Elisabeth in America. Perhaps she married in Rochester, NY, but no marriage record has yet been found.
