Henry Mestemaker stayed with his relative,Joseph, in Cincinnati and then moved to New Orleans in about 1860. He worked as a steamboat engineer, His son William did the same. William was killed in an explosion on the Robert E. Lee Steamer. Son Frank was a bookkeeper on New Orleans. The family stayed in LA until about the turn of the century. This is all from information from Pamela Rasfeld.
