  Born (about) 1800, Christian Brüggen (and his wife, Elisabeth Kronenberg) were from the area near to Landkreis Köln (Cologne), in Prussia. It is probable that they were from Stommeln, by Pulheim (of from that vicinity, and were probably also married there.) In German records, the name is found spelled Brücken or Brüggen. Christian immigrated without his wife (presumably deceased) to America with his son Wilhelm and family. The Brüggen family left the parish for North America 28 September 1857. It is known that Christian died in the vicinity of Saint Mary's Ridge and is buried in the cemetery (there is no marker). --- Came to WI in 1857, arriving in NY in November 1857. Traveled from NY to Chicago, where they stayed for a time, as Wilhelm's wife gave birth to their son. They then traveled on to St. Mary's Ridge.
