Carl Kaestner Family - Passenger List 1853
The Ship New England
From Bremerhaven to New Orleans
Arriving 27 December 1853
Ship Master Isaac Orr
Carl Kaestner, age 48, from Sonderhausen to Illinois (birthdate about 1805)*
Dorothea Kaestner, age 42 (birthdate about 1811)
Caroline Kaestner, age 15 (birth date about 1838)**
Carl Kaestner, age 9 (birth date about 1844)***
Therese Kaestner, age 4 (birth date about 1849)****
It's likely that this Carl and Dorothea are the parents of Ferdinand Kaestner, born in 1833,
however, Ferdinand is not listed with the family. He would have been 20 years old
in 1853. It's possible he emigrated earlier. The Renault church records note
a Frederick Kaestner (9/14/1814 - 10/15/881, who emigrated in 1850,
three years before this family. It's possible this Frederick is a brother or
other relative of Carl Kaestner and Ferdinand may have come to Illinois
with them at this earlier date.
* From Renault church records, we know that Johann Andrea Carl Kaestner,
father of Louise Kaestner, was known as Carl Kaestner.
** From Renault church records we know that there was a Caroline Kaestner
who was born 12/3/1838.
*** Renault church records include August Theodore Carl Kaestner,
who was married in 1868. The above Carl would have been 24 in 1868.
****Renault church records include Theresa Kaestner, born 1/7/1849.
