| Possibly Same | Christoph Heinrich Kolthammer may be the husband of Anna Moeller, who was also in New York. Christoph Heinrich arrived in the US in August 1880 and Anna arrived in October. Unfortunately, they arrived just after the US census was taken in June of that year. It is possible (likely?) that he is also Henry Kolthammer who bought land in Colorado, had a son in Washington State, and eventually settled in British Columbia, Canada. |
