GERMAN ANCESTORS

US-Emigrants from Stockstadt am Main





KILIAN NEHR

(1820-****)

Variant name Kilian Neher
Killin Nair
29 October 1820 Kilian is born in Stockstadt am Main.

Father: Johann Nehr (1780-1856)
Mother: Barbara Berninger (1783-1848)

Godfather: Kilian Bauer, son of Matthäus Bauer.
31 May 1828 Kilian is godfather to Kilian Fürst.
16 September 1846 A Kilian Neher arrives in New York.

Port: Le Havre
Ship: Iowa
Date: 16 September 1846
Arrival: New York

Please note: It is not clear if this is Kilian from Stockstadt but it seems likely because two other young men from Stockstadt am Main are listed together with him in the passenger list:

Johann Sulzmann
Joseph Volk

Source: New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1891
about 1846 Kilian's cousin Apollonia Nehr, born 1 November 1818, emigrates to the United States. We do not know if her daughter Margaretha Nehr, born 9 July 1942, accompanied her. But it is likely as she was four years old at that time.

We do not know when Apollonia arrived, where Apollonia lived in the US or whom she married.

Please note: It is not clear if this is Kilian from Stockstadt but it seems likely because again - like in 1846 - we find two other passengers from Stockstadt am Main listed with him in the passenger list:

Sophia Schwarz
Elisabeth Schwarz

CENSUS 1860 We find this entry in Indiana, Census 1860.

Please not: No proof that this is Kilian but could be because we find relatives (daughters of his sister Eva in Marrs, Posey, Indiana).
