The Wolfschlager surname comes to me via my grandma Evelyn Hauer. Her great-great-grandfather was:
  • Wilhelm Wolfschläger, a Catholic farmer of Helden, Westfalen, Preußen. He would have been born by or about 1780. He married Anna Gertrud Merren. They were my fourth great-grandparents.
  • Johann Peter Wolfschläger, born about 1804. On 24 May 1829, he married Maria Elisabeth Wigger in the Catholic church at Helden, Westfalen. They immigrated, arriving at New York on 16 August 1845 aboard the ship Cotton Planter from Antwerp, Belgium. My third great-grandparents, Johann Peter and Maria Elisabeth settled in Detroit, Michigan. They had ten children.
  • Theresa Wolfschläger, born 16 October 1843 in Helden. She married Joseph H. Hauer 146 years ago today, on 29 March 1864, at St. Clements Church, Center Line, Michigan. Theresa and Joseph were my great-great-grandparents.
