Caroline was the daughter of Johann Gottfried Krinke (1777 - 1835) and Charlotte Louise Merkelt (1792 - 1856). She was born in Ober Waldenburg, Lower Silesia, Prussia on November 24th, 1820. Caroline married Ernst Wilhelm Mewes on January 8th, 1849 in Waldenburg.

Shiner Gazette, 23 Apr 1896, page 4
Grandma Mewes departed this life Monday morning at 2 o'clock at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Chas Flato. The interment took place at the K of P cemetery Monday eve at 4 o'clock.
Grandma Mewes was born in Germany November 24, 1821 [1820], and was therefore nearly seventy-five years of age. She and her husband came to this country in 1852 [1854]. In 1867 Mr. Mewes died at Alleyton, this state, of yellow fever. Grandma Mewes leaves four children; Mrs. Chas Flato, Mrs. Mueller of Flatonia and Will and Frank.
*Note - Caroline immigrated to Texas in 1854, along with the Prause family (also from Waldenburg). The Prause and Mewes families went to Fayette County and later settled in Colorado County.
* Update - November 2018 - Arnold Prause's wife, Charlotte Koehler is related to Caroline. This was discovered through my genetic genealogy research and DNA match to a descendant of Henry Koehler (1843 - 1923) whom first settled in Old Flatonia in the 1870's. I believe that Charlotte is a first cousin to Caroline and likely related on the Merkelt line.
