((( Anton came to the US first in 1 July 1836 at the age of 24. Records show he arrived with cousin Caspar, age 27. Almost certainly his brother Joseph and his wife were also there. He returned to Germany, with his brother Joseph and possibly Caspar, shortly after the death of his brother's wife, Maria. ?? )))

The grandfathers of Anton and Kaspar were brothers. (assuming we have the right Kaspar)

He came back to the US in 1845, see card of Anselm, either to New York or Baltimore.

[Note: New York passenger arrivals are (imperfectly) indexed 1820-1846 so it may be possible to find his ship using that index, even if the arrival date is off a bit. No ships from Antwerp appear on that date in the New York ship arrivals list. The only ones close were the NILE on June 24 with Germans on board and the FAME on June 27, also with Germans on board.]
