Engelhorn Family History Center

Engelhorn Crest  

Who are we?       

This is the Engelhorn family that has descended from Marx, the Elder 1580 - 1650.  More specifically, we are all descendants of  Johann Marcus Engelhorn (1782 - 1869) and Eva Katharina Werner (1786 - 1857).  They had five children that emigrated from Altlussheim, Germany to Allamakee County, Iowa. In our genealogy, each of them make up one line of Engelhorns:  

  • Johann Thomas III (Thomas Line)

  • Johann Jakob (Jacob Line)

  • Johann Mathias (Mathias Line)

  • Johannes (John Line)

  • Wilhelmina (Platz Line)

In addition, a third cousin Johann Peter migrated to San Jose County, Illinois.
