- ↑ Conversation
with Myrna Sisson Scheurich quoted in letter to Norma 18 April 1975.
"My great aunt, Myrna Sisson Scheurich, told me that he (Jakob Bender) came to this country when he was 2 years old, and that he came from Germany."
Jacob was born October 1829. The obituary for Jacob's father, Peter, tells that they left Germany in 1832 and arrived late in the year after a perilous voyage.
I had originally used 1831 for the immigration date, but I will now use 1832 based on Peter's obituary and the fact that Jakob would have been 2 until October of that year.
