Notes
a. Note:   7 Nov 1854 - arrived in Galveston on the ship Lucy
 their home church was Ev. Lutheran Holy Cross, Lengefeld in Erzebirge Mountains
  Carl Christoph Findeisen, Sr. was born Feb. 12, 1799 in Lengefeld in the Erzebirge Mountains in Saxony (then part of
 Prussia), a poor region not far from the Czech border: a land of farms, the medieval Castle Rauenstein and the half-timbered
 knight's manor in nearby Wunschendorf. He was christened and married at the Evangelical Lutheran Holy Cross Church there,
 with its tall narrow steeple and stout walls, just as all his family had been since 1624. His father was a city councilman
 (Buerger) as well as a "Gutsherr and a Huefner". The Findeisens were known as horse breeders, farmers, blacksmiths
 and furniture makers. They married into the Goebel family, who made violins. In 1854 Carl Christoph, his wife Johanna
 Dorothea Hetzel and their nine children left Bremerhaven, Germany on the ship "Lucy" and arrived at Galveston, TX on
 Nov. 7, 1854. The family settled in Cat Spring, Austin County, TX. He died in the cholera epidemic of 1867. His grave and
 that of two others was recently rediscovered on a private farm by leaders of the annual Findeisen reunion, who erected a stone
 monument on the site.
