I have so little on this ancestor. I only know that Carl William Weinand,age 56 and his wife Wilhelmine nee Holweg,age 51 along with their 17 year old daughter Bertha came on the vessel bark Iris and arrived at the port of Galveston, Texas on 16 Oct 1869. Their oldest daughter, Emma, remained in the Weinand apt at No 7 Kruebusch in Barmen. Her husband Tobias Schellberg was inducted into the German army in the Franco-German war of 1870-71.
Carl and Wilhelmine settled near Industry in Austin County, Texas They are both buried in the Methodist Church Cemetery in Industry Texas. Carl died in 1889 and Wilhelmine in 1890.
Because of their late age--Carl possibly could have had an earlier marriage and another family.
