THE STORY BEGINS
John Baptist (born 27 Feb 1828) with his wife and two children were the first members of the Ruhland family to arrive in New York on May 27, 1861 aboard the ship Therese. In the “German’s to America Series of books” in Volume 14, page 80 the family was listed as: Joh. Bapt. Ruhland (age 32, M, OPTR), Anna Marie (age 26, F, W), Wolfgang (age 2, M, Child) and Mary (age 1, F, Child).
Later the rest of the family followed. All of the living siblings along with their wives and children including the parents immigrated to America except for one sister Barbara. Barbara married a Weiss and remained in Germany.
Note: “German’s to America Series of books” can be found at the Wisconsin Historical Museum. After you find the family here you can then go to the microfilm manifest records that are also located in the Wisconsin Historical Museum also. The ship manifests can also be found on Ancestry.com, if you have a subscription.
In my research at the Sauk County register of deeds in Baraboo, WI, I found that John Baptist and his wife Anna Mary (Marie) (Bauer or Kasbauer) had four more children. Interestingly these children were all born in Albany, New York. This really sparked my interest, so in the fall of 2000 I decided to hire a genealogist from Albany. At that time Ancestry.com wasn’t such a big deal like it is now.
COREEN P. HALLENBECK’S RESEARCH:
In the Albany directory for 1862, John Ruland was listed as a laborer at 223 Sand St. From 1866 through 1869 he does not appear. In 1870 and 1872 he was listed as John Ruhland as laborer at 307 Sherman St. She mentions that Sand Street became Sherman Street in 1868. So Sand and Sherman are the same.
She stated that the Ruhland property was located between Perry Street (now Lake Street) and Quail Street.
At the Albany County Clerk’s office the deed (Book 180, page 441) dated 6 July 1863 it was found that John Ruhland and Mary his wife purchased lot 115 (28 feet by 70 feet) for $380 on Sand Street between Perry and Quail Streets. She found no record for the sale of the property.
In the 1865 New York State Census for #652 in the Western District Eastern Section of the Ninth Ward the Ruhland family name was listed as Remmand.
In the 1870 census for the Ninth Ward page 107, the John Ruhland family was listed in dwelling 614 family 935.

THERESE CHARLOTTE See MINONA.
Here is the information I have gleaned on the MINONA: From Wendy Schnur, Reference Assistant at the G. W. Blunt White Library, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, Connecticut:
"According to American Lloyd's, MINONA was a Swedish bark of 251 tons, built of oak and fir in 1820 in Gottenburg (also spelled Goteborg or Gothenburg). In 1857 she measured 104' x 23' x 11 1/2' and had a draft of 13'. She was lengthened and rebuilt in 1856 and rerigged from her original brig rig (2 masts, square-rigged) to a bark (3 masts, square-rigged on the fore and main, and fore-and-aft-rigged on the mizzen)."
"The Boston Shipping List for July 4, 1857, states that MINONA arrived on July 1, with Rydin as master. Her cargo was 210 tons of iron."
And from the Boston Daily Advertiser, No. 13, 428, Vol. 90, No. 3, Friday morning, July 3, 1857: "A Hardy Craft--The Swedish barque Minona, which arrived here on Wednesday, consigned to Messrs. Naylor & Co., was formerly a brig; but has been recently made longer, and rigged as a barque. Her keel was laid upwards of one hundred years ago, and her frame was constructed of teak wood; the strongest and most durable wood used in ship-building. She seems to contradict the theory that vessels become worthless in a quarter of a century or so, from decay, or must succumb to the perils of the sea before the lapse of many years. If not properly taken care of, this might have been the fate of the Minona; but many parts of her have been altered and renewed from time to time, that not much of the original brig, besides the frame, remains." - [E-mail from Jeanne Nelson - 30 May 1998]
According to Stockholm's Sj”historiska Museet, "the Minona was built 1781 in Halmstad, Sweden as the Therese Charlotte." In an "unknown year it was named Fredrik and after that got the name Neptunus. The Minona was shipwrecked in 28.12 1879 near the place Goodwill Sands, river Thames, England." - [E-mail from J. Nelson - 12 July 1998]

THE REST OF THE FAMILY ARRIVES WITH THEIR PARENTS
The steamship, Deutschland, arrived in the New York harbor on March 30, 1872. On board were the brothers Joh. George Michael and Alois Ruhland families along with their parents Johann and Katharina also their sister Mary.
Early in my genealogy research I had been told that their sister Mary’s boyfriend John B. Dischler was a stowaway aboard the Deutschland. According to the story his parents only had one son who could take over their glass business in Bavaria and if they consented there would be no one to take over the business. I searched the complete manifest for his name with no luck of finding it. When I found the obituary for John B. Dischler I found that he indeed was aboard the ship (click here to see the obit).
An interesting find on the same ship manifest for the Deutschland is another relative of this family is Franiska Bauer with her two sons. They are also connected to the maternal side of my Brickl which would be the Meixelsperger branch.
Some interesting notes taken from the New York Times about the arrival date is as follows: Steam-ship Deutschland, (N.G.) H. Neyanber, Bremen March 16 and Southampton 19th, with mdse. and 650 passengers to Ostrich & Co. Has had variable winds with rough sea the entire passage.
In the “German’s to America Series of books” volume 26, page 314 the families are listed as follows: Ruhland: John (age 45-M-Farmer), Catharine (age 36-F-Unknown), Barbara (age 4-F-Child), Joseph (age .11-M-Infant), Alois (age 36-M-Farmer), Anna (age 32- F-Unknown), Anna M (age .11-F-Infant), Baptist (age59-M-Farmer), Catharine (age 51-F-Unknown), Marie (age 20-F-Unknown) and Bauer: Franiska (age 34-F-Unknown), Johann Bapt. (age 9-M-Child), Johann (age 5-M-Child).
SHIP DESCRIPTION
The steamship DEUTSCHLAND was built for Norddeutscher Lloyd by Caird & Co (yard #132), Greenock, Scotland, and was launched on 29 May 1866. 2,947 tons; 99,06 x 12,19 meters/325 x 40 ft (length x breadth); clipper bow, 1 funnel, 2 masts; iron construction, screw propulsion, single inverted engine (1800 psi), service speed 11 knots; accommodation for 60 passengers in 1st class, 120 in 2nd class, and 700 in steerage; crew of 105.
14 October 1866, maiden voyage, Bremen - Southampton - New York. 1869, king Wilhelm of Prussia, Bismarck, Field Marshal v. Moltke and Minister v. Roon, after all of whom later ships were named, breakfasted on board the DEUTSCHLAND in Bremerhaven. 18 January 1874, bound from Bremen and Southampton for New York, lost all propeller blades in lat 46 30 N, lon 41 17 W; towed to Southampton (arrived 27 January) by steamship BRAUNSCHWEIG; 8 February, resumed voyage to New York. 1874, given compound engine: 1500 hp, service speed 13 knots. 6 December 1875, bound from Bremen for Southampton and New York, in heavy storm and fog, driven off course by strong currents and stranded at 5 AM off Kentish Knock, in the estuary of the River Thames. Because of the severity of the storm, it was 24 hours before shore stations became aware of the wreck, and it took another 6 hours before the British paddle-wheel tug LIVERPOOL reached the site and rescued the 173 survivors; 157 others, including the captain, froze to death or drowned when the deck was flooded during high tide.
