Charlotte Sauerman immigrated to Baltimore, MD with her family in June 1841 aboard the barque Leontine from Bremen, Germany. While no documentation has yet surfaced, it is believed she married Frederick Deffer a short time after arrival in 1841-42. They had nine children; Frederick Jr, Charlotte, Augustus, Otto, Annie, Willie, Florence, Katie, and James Frederick. Seven of these children survived into adulthood.
They lived in Maryland and Virginia while raising their family. It appears that they may have moved the family to Ohio to be closer to her sister Louisa Young during the strife the country was suffering due to the Civil War. After moving to Ohio, Charlotte died unexpectedly. Her husband and his teenaged children then moved to Iowa to live with his daughter Flora.
