Notes for JOHANN GERHARD BOENKER:
Johann Gerhard Boenker, son of Johann Gerhard Boenker and Adelhest Behlings Boenker, married Helene Maria Bunte.Her birthdate is unknown and so is Johann Gerhard Daniel Boenkers parents. We know that his parents were born and raised in Germany and probably married and died there.There is no record of them migrating to the United States with their sons.Johann Gerhard Daniel and his wife Helene came to America with their 2 youngest sons Gerhard and Wilhelm landing in New Orleans, Louisianaon November 20, 1858 aboard the ship "Ernestine".They made their way to St. Charles, Missouri by wagon train to join their other 3 sons.They lived with their oldest son hermann and his wife.Johann Gerhard Daniel died May 14, 1866 at the age of 68 ys. x 3 months x 6 days and is buried in the old section of Immanuel Luthern Cemetery in St.Charles, Missouri.There is no records for this section and have not found any information for helene maria Adelheid Boenker in any census records.But this is not surprising since most of the time the male of the household was the only name written down on census records along maybe with the sons of the family.There oldest son Hermann Diedrich came alone to America in 1851 and settled in St. Charles, Missouri.He married his wife Anna Esselmann who he was betrothed to when they were children.She came to America on December 19, 1853 landing in New Orleans, Lousisiana aboard the ship named "Adonis".She and Hermann were married in St. Charles, Missouri on February 25, 1854 by Pastor Lange, a Luthern minister.Heinrich married his wife Anna Maria Hollrah in 1855 by Pastor Lange. He was still living in St. Charles, Mo with his wife and 8 children when the 1876 census was taken, but later moved to Bridgeton or Pattonville, Mo [which are subdivisions of St.Louis County, Missouri].Freidrich came to America arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 3, 1856 aboard the ship named "Mississippi".Also on this ship was his future wife and her family.He married Maria Catherine Wilhelina Hollenberg and they lived in St. Charles, Missouri according to the 1876 census .Maria Catherine Hollenberg's parents are thought to have settled in the Bridgeton, Missouri area.There is no information on this sons family.Johann Gerdard [George] Boenker married Catharine Maria Adeheid Hollenberg.I believe they also lived in Bridgeton, Missouri but they stayed members of Immanuel Luthern Church over in St. Charles, Missouri.They had 9 children. I believe Johann Gerdard married his sister-in laws younger sister.The youngest son, Hermann Wilhelm Boenker married Helena Katharine Meyers.They had 5 children and lived in the Harvester, St. Charles Co., Missouri area.They had a grocery and dry goods storeand then later farmed.
