Note:   John Henry Eggert left Germany when he was about 16 years old to avoid compulsory military training in Germany. He was the son of a sailor, whose occupation was whaling. His mother died in childbirth and he was raised by his grandmother. His father remarried and had another son and two daughters. His father was lost at sea and he lost all contact with his stepmother and half brother and sisters. He worked his way across the ocean. After landing in New York City in 1852, he worked awhile laying the original street car tracks in the city. He stayed there about a year and by 1854 was in Greensburg, Indiana. (He apparently was living in Lawrenceburg, Indiana in 1860.) He joined Company C of the 52nd Regiment of Indiana Infantry on 16 December 1861. He served three years and was discharged on 31 January 1865 at Eastport, Mississippi. He and his wife owned a small grocery store in Greensburg. On 24 December 1868 he moved his family (wife, two children, and mother-in-law) to Missouri. They came by train from Greensburg to Burlington, Iowa, and from there to Multon, Iowa by an open hack. From there they took a train to Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri and settled in Polk Township, northwest of Kirksville, where they built a log house and farmed. His mother-in-law later returned to Indiana, where she died. In 1880 his family was registered in Ninevah Township in the census. They moved to Kirksville in 1902. He died of heart disease.

b. Reference:   14 JUL 2009 00:16:42
Note:   The identification of John Henry Eggert with the Langendorfer Johann Jürgen Heinrich Eggert is based on the same birthdate and numerous other agreements in the details of the life story given above, including being the son of a sailor, mother dying in childbirth, being raised by his grandmother, his father remarrying and having another son and two daughters, and working across the sea. Against the identification is the 1880 US census, which gives John "Eggard"'s birthplace as Hamburg and his father's as Mecklenburg.
