| Abstract | Johann Philipp Knoche, a newly naturalized U.S. citizen, returned in 1840 to his family in Wunderthausen (now part of Bad Berleburg in the county of Siegen-Wittgenstein in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen) to encourage and help them emigrate as well. Prussian law and diplomatic relations between Prussia and the United States at that time did not, however, exempt him, even as a U.S. citizen, from Prussian military service, which he had avoided when emigrating already in 1834. |
| Notes | Author Riedesel is a descendent of Wunderthausen emigrants. Includes bibliographical references. |
