Notes:

Andreas Jann reached New York aboard the Statesman out of Le Havre, France on July 12th, 1850. His name is listed in the ship manifest (#228 | age: 27 | country: Hesse | occupation: Farmer). As it was the usage at that time, his firstname has been translated into the americanized form, Andrew. He stayed in New York three years where he married Eva Horn, then moved in 1856 to Iowa City, Iowa. Andrew Jann was one of the founders of the Germain Aid society of this city. In 1860, the company he worked for moved to Des Moines, so he was transferred to this city where he lived until his death. Andrew Jann (and his sons) are mentioned in successive editions (1866 to 1900) of the Des Moines City Directory. Andrew’s daughter, Henrietta, wrote a very colourful description of the family adventures from New York to Iowa City and Des Moines (follow link below).
