Jurn Christoph Boettcher was born April 1828 in Bornsen/Barnsen, Hanover, Germany and died October 1, 1893 in Hanover, Washington County, Kansas. (Source: Register of Deaths, Washington Co. KS) He married Maria in 1856 in Germany.
Christoph and Maria Boettcher arrived in New York in 1864 on the ship Germania with their 4 children: Heinrich, William, Christoph and Johann. They came from Hanover, Germany and settled in Sauk Co., Wisconsin (the obit for one of the sons says that they lived in Reedsburg, Wisconsin) for approximately 5 years before relocating to Washington County, Kansas. Family lore says that they worked the hops fields in Wisconsin before moving to Washington County, Kansas. Two of their children, Fred and Dora, were born in Wisconsin (1867 and 1869) but we do not have an exact date of when they migrated to Kansas. The first record we have of them in Kansas is the land deed of 1877. Albert Boettcher told that Christoph, Maria and the children lived in a dugout when they first came to Kansas. (Albert is the son of William H. Boettcher)
They are listed in the Hamburg Passenger Lists, page 347, (FHL microfilm #2013453) on the Steamship Germania with Captain H. Ehless from Hamburg to New York-- June 25, 1864. C. Bottcher (the 'C' looks like an 'H' on the passenger list), Landman, age 36, male; Maria Bottcher, age 28, frau, female; Heinr., age 7, male; Wm, age 6, male; Christ, age 4, male; Johann, under 1 year, male. Shown as the birth and place of residence for the family is Barnsen Hanover. (Landman means 'a farmer')
