Valentine and Henry – Arrival in Ohio
In the spring of 1847, Valentine, Casper’s first son from his first marriage, decided to immigrate to America. He departed from Antwerp (Belgium) and arrived in New York on 22 April 1847. Valentine was 23 years old at the time.
Two years later, Valentine’s younger brother Henry, Casper’s second son from his first marriage, also decided to immigrate to America. He departed from Antwerp (Belgium) and arrived in New York on 3 Jul 1849. Henry was 21 at the time.
Based on the 1850 US Federal Census, it appears
that both brothers eventually settled in

Caspar - Settlement in Wayne County Ohio
In 1852, three years after Henry's departure and perhaps encouraged by his sons in Ohio, Casper, his second wife and their remaining five children decide to immigrate to America. They first travelled from Germany to England, however we do not know the details of this part of their voyage. On 18 May 1852, Casper and his family departed Liverpool on the Ship Onward for New York, arriving on 14 June 1852, after 27 days at sea. At that time, the family consisted of:
Caspar, age 53
Elisabeth, his second wife, age 43-44
Elisabeth, age 19

and 1880 showed the following:
43 acres of
arable and plowable land
10 acres of
meadow and pasture land
12 acres e£

65 total acres
In 1870, the assessed value of the land, excluding buildings, was $32 per acre, for a total value of $2,080.
Between 1852 and 1870, it appears that
Caspar's land doubled in "value". The assessed value of the houses on
the land was $100, with other buildings valued at $150.
