Note: I was initially informed about this family by Diana Jordan, whom I believe sent me the following article. Pages 487-488 about William C. Carl in the CENTENIAL BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY read as follows:
"......his grandfather, Ludwig Carl, having been born in Schwartsberg, Sundershausen, Germany, where he followed the trade of shoemaker. The latter came to the United States in 1840, sailing from Bremen to New York, passing sixty-five days on the ocean and arriving March 3. Locating in Columbus on the ground now occupied as Third street, he opened a little shop, but in a short time, probably in 1845, settled on sixty acres of land, built a log house and stable, and felt independent. No nails were used in the building of these houses - only wooden pins. From the window it was possible then to shoot wild turkeys to supply the larder. Grandfather Carl lived to be ninety years old, dying in 1870, his wife surviving until July, 1884, when she was eighty-four years old. Both of them were members of the Lutheran church."
Notice that names change here, I have been told could be due to a fear of retaliation for emigrating from their home country.
