- 1840...Anna Maria sails from LeHavre, France, aboard the Sloop "France", with her family to New York, landing 27 Jul 1840.
1841...Anna Maria and her family reside in the German community of probably Lower East Side New York City.
Early 1842........ Anna Maria(age 50),her husband Johann Peter Schmidt (age 54) and their children, Peter (age 18), Maria Anna (age 23) arrive in Chicago via sailing/steam ship through the Great Lakes from Buffalo, New York having traversed the Erie Canal from its starting point on the Hudson River north of New York City.. Twin brother Jacob (age 18)remains in New York according to the account of Louisa Schmidt.
On May 10, 1842 they purchase, as 4th owners, after the Potowanami Indians, United States, and Henry C. West , for $100, 45.63 acres of land 9 miles north of Chicago on the Ridge Trail and build a log cabin in the grasslands on a bluff overlooking marshes leading to Lake Michigan.
1850 Census: Ridgeville, Cook Co., IL
Maria, (age 58) and Peter (Sr)(age 62) reside in the log cabin with son Jacob Bruck (age 25), aka, Jacob Schmidt and next store to son and twin brother Peter who has built a two story frame house for himself, his wife Elizabeth Phillips, and their first born son Peter K aged 3 months.
1860 Census: Dubuque Co, Iowa, Maria and her husband Peter are living with their son Jacob Smith, aka, Jacob Bruck, aka, born: Jacob Schmidt
1870 US Census; Evanston, Illinois
Anna Maria and her husband have returned to Ridgeville. Son Jacob is headed for Colorado...its Gold Rush time and Aspen Colorado is in fever pitch.
Anna Maria Bruck(age 78)and her husband Johann Peter Schmidt Sr. (age 82) are living in the two story wooden house (6815 N. Ridge, Evanston, Chicago, IL) with her married son Peter Schmidt Smith (Jr) (age 46) and his wife Elizabeth Phillips (age 38.)
Daughter-in-Law Elizabeth and Son Peter have had 13 children in this house and the original log cabin just south of this house has been abandoned.
The baby is Charles, (age 8 months) and Elizabeth is 3 months from conceiving daughter Louisa who will be born in the new house at 6836 N. Ridge.
This new house is completed in 1871 and still stands today Feb 11, 2006, Dec 10, 2009 and is owned by Louisa's decendant David A Fortman.
Name:
- Anna Maria is the daughter of Johannes Bruck and Maria Magdalena Phillip(s)....from marriage certificate showing Anna's marriage to Peter Schmidt. (aka Johann Peter Schmidt, aka Peter Schmidt Sr.)
The Phillip(s) family is from Roderbach.
(The records of Maria's son Peter "Jr" record that he married, in Chicago, Elizabeth Phillip(s), daughter of Jacob Phillip(s) (b. abt. 1807, Germany and d. 11 Sep 1891 in Chicago) and Katarina Kohlhass.)
Johan Jakob Bruck, who seems to be Anna Maria's brother, was the sponsor for her first born child, Elizabeth Barbara Schmidt, b. 20 Nov 1812.
Both Anna Maria and Johan Jakob Bruck are from Roderbach rather than Damflos, Germany.
There are no other Bruck families in the Roderbach, Marborn area at this time and so Anna Maria must belong to this family
