Phillip Dippel imm about 1837 from Dagobert, Haussen
I am trying to find out information on my ancestors arrival to the USA. In his obit, it states he arrived when he was 18, which would have been 1837, and spent a year in New York City.
Here is a paragraph from his obit.
"Dippel was born in the principality of Ahx, now Czarine of Russian, in the duchy of Hesse Cassel, twelve miles from Cassel. He was the son of a large sheep farmer who lived in the ancient village of Dagobert, Haussen, in the county of Mesunjen. The date of his birth was July 18, 1818.
He came to New York City when he was 18 years old, remained there a year and then went to Mobile, Alabama, where he spent several years."
Does anyone know where to find shipping manifests etc from 1837. I looked at ellisisland, but they list a Dipple arriving later.
Thanks
