*****************

Washington County, Ohio, naturalization records from probate court show that Magdalena's husband Frederick and his brother Jacob Abendshon and Jacob Boger appeared simultaneously in 1848 to pledge intent to become American citizens.

Jacob Boger is buried in Salem Cemetery, Lower Salem, Washington County, Ohio. The Kyress/Romire siblings of Magdalena's daughter-in-law Fredericka Kyress Abendschoen, wife of her son Henry Abendschoen, share that cemetery. All had initially lived at Watertown as new immigrants.

The relationship between Magdalena Boger Abendschoen and Jacob Boger, however, is yet unclear. She and he had different parents in Germany and immigrated in slightly different, thought very similar, years.
*************

Schwaigern, Germany, researcher Ulf Hartmann reported that Frederick, Magdalena, Henry and Johanna Abendshon arrived on the Claiborne from Le Havre, France, to New York on 29 May 1848, a year after Frederick’s brother Jacob and family followed the same route in May 1847, on the D’Orleans, with Jacob’s wife, son, daughter and Ebinger son-in-law. Jacob Boger -- of unclear but apparent relation to Frederick's wife Magdalena -- arrived from Antwerp in 1846 with his wife and two three children.
