Notes for this person

Anna was courted by Joseph Valentine Mathein in their hometown of Laudenbach. She worked as a servant in the Zengel home before leaving Laudenbach for America.

She emigrated from Germany with her mother, Magdelena Hain Uhrig, in 1853. They traveled from Germany to St. Thomas**, but the port of embarkation and the name of the ship they sailed on is unknown. On the second leg of their journey, their names are found on the passenger list of the ship "Otomoco" which sailed from St. Thomas to New Orleans, arriving in New Orleans on 16 January 1854. In her affidavit for the Civil War Pension Board in 1904 Anna stated that her mother died at sea two days before they landed, although this event was not recorded on the ship's passenger list as were the deaths of several other people who had boarded the ship in St. Thomas. Anna's mother, Magdelena Hain Uhrig, is presumed to have been buried at sea.

Upon arrival in New Orleans, Anna traveled on to St. Louis and then to Farrowtown, Calhoun County, IL located on the Illinois River about 50 miles north of St. Louis. There she married her fiancee, Joseph Valentine Mathein, on 15 August 1854. The couple lived in Hardin, Calhoun Co, IL and then in StLouis, MO. They moved to Lincoln, Logan Co, IL in 1864.

Many alternate spellings of Uhrig have been noted: Urig, Urigh, Uhlrig, Ulrich, Urg, Uhrg, Burg

**It is assumed that the St Thomas referred to is in Canada

	I think it is likely "St Thomas" refers to St Thomas Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. St Thomas Canada is on the north shore of Lake Erie. Anna was my great-great-grandmother.
