I'm searching for info on Frederick EHLERS [ELLERS], b.c1790 probably in
Bavaria, Alsace-Lorraine, wife Sophia ?___?, and d. after 1870 in Jackson,
Hinds Co., Miss.

It is said that he came with wife & children [4 sons] direct from Bavaria to
Escatawpa, Jackson Co., Miss., about 1850 with about a dozen other families
such as Colmer [Colmar]; Fields [Fealds]; Brentz [Breutz]; Meyers; Passo;
[Passeau]; Lennep; Phronie; Brondum.
This from a story re: "Mississippi's First Lutheran Church - Built in
Escatawpa" by F.W. "Bob" Cirlot.

The community of Escatawpa was known as "Dog River" until years after the
Civil War.

Is anyone familiar with these Names or Places, or can you suggest how I may
proceed to find this family in Europe?

Many Thanks,
Love, Lou
