They arrived with three chests, one trunk, one portmanteau, and one gun. The record shows that they were going to Missouri. The ship's record and the 1860 Census records his name as Charles, but, his tombstone shows Carl. He is also called Carl in the he History of the Concordia Baptist Church. Only the ship's records shows a middle initial "F". The Concordia Baptist Church booklet lists his occupation as "Baptist Minister", all other records list his occupation as a "Farmer". He settled his family at Kresse's Bluff in Freedom Township, Lafayette Co. near Concordia, MO. In 1850 the Baptist Home Missions Society of St. Louis sent Carl Kresse as a missionary to Lafayette Co., MO where he founded and was the first minister of the Concordia Baptist Church, founded in 13 July 1851.The Old German Baptist Cemetery is located 2 miles SE of Concordia, Freedom Twp, Lafayette Co. MO on County Route PP. His and his wife's, Henrietta, graves are next to last in Row 6, reading from south to north beginning at the south-west side. The cemetery is well kept, but, is adjacent to a cow pasture. The book History of Lafayette County, MO 1881 page 611 shows that he came to the USA in 1848. This is confirmed by the records of the Ship Post. All records agree that he came from Prussia.
