Notes |
- Dorothea's surname is also spelled "Wulff" and "Wolf(e)".
Dorothea came to the United States 1856, departing Bremen on the bark "Suwa" on September 12, 1856 and arriving in Baltimore, Maryland on November 19, 1856. She is listed on the ship manifest as "Ernestine" (age 54). Also on the ship are: Adolph (age 13), August (age 16), Caroline (age 19) and Wilhelm (age 24). Mrs. Jaworski's review of the passenger list shows that a Fritz (age 21) was also on the ship. According to a letter dated February 16, 1988, from Niedersaechsisches Staatsarchiv in Bueckeburg to Mary Jean Stolte Jaworski, at the time of her departure, Dorothea was a widow, peasant woman living at Wendthagen, No. 55, near Stadthagen in Schaumberg-Lippe. She traveled with three sons: Friedrich Wilhelm (age 21), a second son (age 15) and a third son (age 12), and two daughers. (Mrs. Jaworski believes that Friedrich Wilhelm was not Dorothea's son and that the second daughter did not survive the trip.)
Dorothea was preceded to America in 1848 by her daughter Sophia and one other daughter.
According to Jordan, John W., "A Century and a Half of Pittsburg and Her People," v. III, Lewis Publishing Company (1908), Dorothea and her children arrived in Baltimore, Maryland after a voyage of six weeks and three days. They proceeded immediately to the home of Dorothea's brother in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. They settled in what is now the Southside of Pittsburgh. Dorothea lived with Sophia at 2300 Carson St., South Side, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and she died there.
The obituary published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on June 11, 1886 reads as follows:
Stolte--On Wednesday June 9, 1886, Dorethea Stolte, mother of Mrs. Ernst Rohrkaste in her 85th year. Funeral from her residence, Twenty-third and Carson sts., South Side this afternoon at two o'clock. Friends of the family respectfully invited.
