  Research Notes:

There were two Johann Jak/cob Zellhofer's who migrated to the USA c.1840.
Tthis Jakob, with his wife and their 5 children, or shown on sheet received from Manfred Zellhoefer of Ansbach, noted "1840 mit 5 kindern nach Nortamerika". He is uncle of ...

the other Johann Jacob Zellhoefer, son of Johann Joseph, is on record as having left in 1838, which is the year his father died.

  Noted events:

• Occupation: Häcker (salesman, hawker), 1819, Ickelheim NEA.

• Immigration: from Ickelheim with 5 kinder, 1840, Pennsylvania. see sheet in marriage records of binder from Mani Hertlen.
The destination of Pennsylvania comes from later census records in Westmoreland and Allegheny Counties in PA, which may be incorrect; the record says simply to Nordamerika. However, his son John J was found in Allegheny Co PA in the 1860 census.

• Immigration: from Brachbach via Bremen on Ship Lalla Rook, Family ID 30026597, 21 Aug 1840, Port NewYork. 3 NOTE: THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE RECORD FOR JOHANN JACOB ZELLHOEFER OF BRACHBACH, AND NOT FOR THIS JJZ FROM ICKELHEIM.

Index record from genealogy.com



Johann married Anna Margareta Plackner-[3298] [MRIN: 852], daughter of Johann Georg Plackner-[3299] and Anna Dorothea Vogel-[2533], on 16 May 1810 in Ickelheim NEA. (Anna Margareta Plackner-[3298] was born on 19 Sep 1768 in Ickelheim NEA and died est 1818.)


  Marriage Notes:

It seems likely that J Jakob's first infant born/died 1818 was been Anna's child, and that she died in the childbirth. For that reason only, using status of "wife died". OAB does not list a 2nd marriage for her husband Johann Jakob

Johann next married Margarete Barbara Kett-[2633] [MRIN: 887] on 23 May 1819 in Ickelheim NEA. (Margarete Barbara Kett-[2633] was born est 1783 in Ickelheim NEA.)

Early in the spring of 1840 or '41, Jacob packed his small ironbound wooden chest, bid the family adieu and Leonhart drove him to Ludwigshafen where he took a down river sail and rowboat to Rotterdam. Here he found a three-masted schooner bound for the golden west, the great harbor of New York.
