Already over 50 years old, Peter Maurer brought his wife and large family to Wisconsin from Nierstein, Hesse-Darmstadt in 1848; he and his wife sailed cabin class, while their ten children (ranging in age from 9 to 29) were in steerage. The family settled on farmland in Town Rhine, east of Elkhart Lake, and the sons operated nearby farms of their own. Adam, the eldest, ran a grist mill at Johnsonville.
