J. H. Westphal
I'm trying to trace the Westphal family back to Germany. The family now spells the name Westpfahl, but my best guess is the name was originally Westfahl or Westphal.
John Henry Westpfahl was born in Germany in 1821 and settled in Rock Island, IL in 1840.My best guess is he came to the U.S. in 1835-1838.I'm told he lived in New York for about a year and lived in Peru, IL for a time before moving to Rock Island.
My guess is his name was Johann Hinrich or something along those lines.Any information would be extremely helpful and appreciated.
