Johann Konrad Daehler

Johann Konrad Daehler was born on 6 February 1811 in Freienseen, near Laubach in Hesse-Darmstadt, as he recounts in his autobiography. By his own account, he sold his home and goods and left Freienseen on 20 April 1855, reaching New York on 29 May after a sailing crossing he described as about 30 days. He settled at Fair Haven, having learned that German settlers were already there.
