| Abstract | Ferdinand Friedrich Engelking (1810-1885) was born in Schluesselburg, Westphalia, Prussia. In 1839 he immigrated to Cat Spring in Austin County, Texas to join Ludwig Sigismund Anton von Roeder, his wife, and family. The Engleking family operated a successful broom-making business for many years, first in Broomtown, and then in Sealy, Texas. The company was destroyed by a tornado in 1964. |
