Andreas Breustedt from Harzburg, Hanover, arrived Texas, 2 Nov 1846,
from a List of all the Passengers taken on board the B. Bohlen, under 
Captain Mencke.   This is the son of Johann Heinrich Breustedt.  He 
arrived in America three years before the rest of his family.   He 
may have returned to Germany and may be the Gottl. Breustedt listed 
with his family on the Neptune passenger list?

Notes (Research of Dr. Karl Ewald Schmidt):
  
(1)The Breustedt family estate is situated in the parish Westerode, 
district Harzburg, on the base of the Harz mountains.

(2) The name Breustedt first appeared in a document of 1290, copied 
in the Record Book III of the city of Braunschweig under No. 214.  At 
that time Olvek Broistede became a new citizen of Braunschweig.  In 
the year 1350 the name was written Broistedde.  It may be well 
presumed that the patrician family of Olvek Broistede, who were 
engaged in the garment tayloring business, came from Broistedt, 
County of Wolfenbuettel.

The name Broistedde means a stedde (stead-place) which perhaps was 
marshy and muddy, often inundated by water (the Fuse river).

(3) Westerode Church Records: Johann Hennig Breust, woodcutter and 
small cottager at assurance No. 36, at Westerode.  His son Andreas 
Wilhelm Breust was born in 1722 and died December 25, 1799.  Johann 
Hennig Breust’s wife, Catherine Margarethe Reinecken, died as widow 
before July 19, 1778;  she was interred July 19, 1778.  She was born 
in 1694.

(4) At the wedding of his son Andreas Wilhelm Breust with Anne Mar. 
Koch on January 18, 1746, Hennig Breust is named as the father, 
likewise in the confirmation record, according to which Johann 
Hennig, was married at the time of the birth of his own son (1772), 
and must have been deceased by 1734.

(5) Speculation of Dr. Schmidt:  Andreas Breust, of Neustadt, born 
July 28, 1641, died 1688, is the father of Johann Hennig.
	
In Neustedt (now Bad Harzburg), Idell Brostett, born 1582, died 
September 17, 1652 at Neustedt had two sons, Zacharias, born March 4, 
1612, died before 1683 and Hennig Brostett, Sr., born October 16, 
1639 (mentioned in 1666, 1675, 1678 and 1683) at Neustadt.
	
Idel’s son Zacharias, among others, also had two sons, Hennig and 
Andreas .. Hennig Brosett, Jr. born May 2, 1649,X April 18, 1676 
(mentioned 1675) cottager on Assessment No. 42 at Neustadt.
	
Zacharias’ other son Andreas, born July 28, 1641, November 25, 1688, 
mentioned in the Commerce Book as feudal tenant.

Andreas Brostett’s son Johann Hennig, born January 10, 1692, at 
Neustedt, died before 1734, at Westerode; small cottager on Assesment 
No. 36, Westerode.

His son Andreas Wilhelm, woodcutter and small cottager, on Assessment 
No. 36, born 1722 and died December 25, 1800 (written 1700)  
Mentioned in the title deed of 1819.

His son Heinrich Christian, born December 3, 1769, died March 14, 
1832, is especially mentioned in the title deed as having power of 
attorney from the oldest (Gottlieb Breustedt on cottager place 34, 
born 1746, died 1828) and as feudal tenant.
