Physical Description[3] Known for his great physical strength

JOHN was born in VENNE, but we don't know what country the village was in during 1804. For 600 years the village was in the principality of "PRINCE-BISHOPRIC OF OSNABRUECK". Along came Napoleon in 1803, and the village was part of at least 5 different governments in the next 5 years.

John and his wife, Catherine Maria Elizabeth Kreinhagen, decided to migrate to America in 1840. In order to migrate together, they were required to marry first. Therefore, their "honeymoon" was an ocean voyage. It is not known for what purpose the couple migrated.
