After the death of Elisabeth Florentine Homrighausen Wetter on
April 29, 1828, the adult Wetter children were anxious to forge a
new life even if it meant taking chances. The presence of political
unrest, famine, cholera epidemics, the desire to own land, economic
depression, lack of religious freedom, military service and other
factors influenced 19th century transatlantic auswandering about
1816. Little is known of their voyage or of their first two years
in Baltimore. They eventually settled into their new life in
America. Gabriel and Elisabeth would eventually produce a daughter
that would marry into the Launspach heritage. It is because of
Herman and Catherine's letters that Gabriel and Elisabeth were also
enticed to head for America.
