| (Passenger) Immigration | 25 April 1851 | He immigrated on 25 April 1851 along with Carl Christian Mühlstein (Immigrant 1851-54) and Anton Eduard Hermann Mühlstein (Immigrant 1851) and Nanny Agnes Mühlstein (Immigrant 1851). List of Immigrants Who Applied for Naturalization Papers in The District Courts of Allegheny Co Pennsylvania 1841-1855 entry says "Muhlstein, Charles (1854) Bn: Germ., Saxony; DI: 29 Jul 1854". Another entry says "Muhlstein, Henry (1854) Bn: Germ., Saxony; DI: 19 Jul 1854. That led to SLC 1430023 which has his Declaration of Intent dated 19 Jul 1854. He renounces allegiance to the King of Saxony, and signs it Carl Mühlstein. In the body of the document, the clerk spells it Charles Millstein. There is another Declaration dated 19 Jul 1854 where the clerk wrote the name Charles Mülstein Jr, and it was signed Charles Wilhelm Mühlstein in very educated looking handwriting. This would be the oldest son, but why is he not on passenger list? Germans To America vol 1 Jan 1850-1855 pg 462-3 has the passenger list for the ship Elise from Bremen to New York arriving 25 Apr 1851. The list shows Muelenstein, C.H. 42, Herm. 14, Franz 9, and Nanny 16. That led to the original passenger list on SLC 175453, where those names are confirmed. C.H. is a weaver from Saxony. The relationships are not shown. The 3 youngest children must have come with their mother later, after she gave birth in Sep 1851. |
