Individual Details

A. H. Priebe married Anna Schnebe, Pope Co, AR. The online transcription has 8 Apr 1871, but they were surely married in 1891 especially since both were still in Germany and very young children in 1871.

Amilie Wachow, mother-in-law. b. Mar 1846, age 54. Married 28 years. Had 9 children, 4 are living. Born Germany as were her parents. The naturalization columns all blank. [In this census, Emilie is also counted with her husband - I don't know why they listed her unless she was spending the day with them when the enumerator came around.

1910 Census. Family was still in Bayliss Twp - Emilie no longer living with them and five more children. Annie said she'd had 9 children, 8 living. August immigrated 1874; Na for naturalized. Annie was marked as having come the same year as August - apparently an error, no mark for naturalized.
187 people in Pope Co, AR, were marked as born in Germany.

Although the family states they immigrated in 1873, I could not find them anywhere in the 1880 Census. This family debarked, New York, April 20th of 1868, on the Weser from Bremen, Germany. G. Wenke, was Master of the North German Lloyd steamship. The passenger lists shows:
Aug. Priebe, age 31, carpenter [city of ancestry appears to be Pomerania]
Wilhelmine, age 21
Jr. August, age 3
Rudolf, age 3 months
This entry has been linked to the family in various databases but I believe it is incorrect - there are just too many things that don't match up.
