Loesch Family Arrival to America
By Cynthia Loesch-Plott-Duke
For years the following story has been passed down to the grandchildren of Carl Gottlob Loesch and family about their arrival to America:
"In 1836, they came to America from Saxony, Germany. They landed in New Orleans, then traveled by covered wagon with a team of oxen to central Missouri. Johann Edward and Johanna Sophia gave birth to their first son at sea. They named their son after the ship, "Alexander."
Well, thanks to the modern computers, we can now know a little more about where and when the Carl Gottlob Loesch family came to America. In fact, it is Edward "Alexander" Loesch, the U.S. Census and his declaration of birth that tell us the keys to resolving the port arrival of the Loesch family. Thank you Uncle Alexander.
From the U.S. Census it is declared that Alexander was born "At sea" or "Maryland." The census information was provided by our grandparents or Alexander himself. His birthday is declared as August 29, 1838. A ship named "Alexander" arrived on August 27, 1838 in Baltimore, "Maryland"; for which, the ship's log has Carl Gottlob Losch and family listed. The family members match our ancestors. The information listed is declared by our ancestors as truth.
Couple of other observations:
Carl's son, Gustav William and his wife, Johanna, gave birth to their first child, Emma, on February 3, 1839. Gustav and Johanna declare on U. S. Census that Emma was born in Missouri. They arrived in America at the end of August, 1838. Doing the calculations of nine months pregnancy, Johanna was about three-ish months pregnant when they arrived in America. Carl must have had a lot on his mind; such as, the winter season is approaching, one of his daughter-in-laws just gave birth to a new infant-Alexander, another daughter-in-law is pregnant and a wagon ride is not going to be comfortable for her during her later pregnancy months, he and his sons need to provide warm homes to their families, they need to start earning wages to pay for food and shelter, etc.
A land abstract was entered for Karl G. Loesch on November 30, 1838, certificate number 17462, Booneville, Missouri State Land office [information from Clarence Loesch]. Thus, Karl got his family to Missouri promptly within two months of arriving in America.
On the ship's log, the family listed Ohio has their place of destination. Many immigrants used Ohio as the pathway to Missouri. To many Germans, Missouri was the talk to go and settle. Some refer to farm country west of St. Louis and slightly east of Jefferson City as the "Missouri Rhineland." More than likely our family traveled from Baltimore to Missouri by a covered wagon and, perhaps, an oxen.
On the ship's log Carl, Gustave and Edward all listed their Saxony professions as weavers. Carl listed bringing three bags, Gustave listed bringing one bag and Edward listed bringing one bag. By the 1860 U. S. Census, Gustave and Edward listed their professions as farmers. They had also acquired land.
Carl and Elelone came to America on August 27, 1838. They came from Saxony, Germany; the town of Rocklitz. Their children accompanied them. They are buried in the Loesch Cemetery south of Jefferson City, Missouri.
