lived before proably in Cincinnati

My Thies family came from Hannover (don't know exactly) and settled in

Cincinnati, Ohio also. A group of Germans in Cincinnati pooled their money

together in order to purchase land. The group was named, The German Land

Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. They elected a few member of this group to

scout out land in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. The men that were

elected to do this found some favorable land in central Illinois that is

now called Teutopolis and Effingham, Illinois. This group purchased land

there and divided up the land among the members in 1838-1840's.
