Born in France about 1809-1810, by 1840 John had made his way to Vernon, the capital city of Jennings County, Indiana. There, on August 3rd of that year, he married fellow French emigrant Elizabeth Winter.
I believe he's the farmer "John Hamburgher" listed on the 1850 census at Campbell Township in Jennings County with wife, Elizabeth and children Lewis, John and Joseph. Although that record states he and Elizabeth were born in Germany, if they were from the Alsace-Lorraine area of France, it was alternately occupied by Germany and France right up until WWII, which would explain the discrepancy. Everything else seems to fit.
John and Elizabeth appear again at Vernon on the 1860 census with children Louis, John Jr., and Mary; he is a merchant in that town.
After he retired, he moved to neighboring North Vernon, where he and his wife appear with their youngest son, George, on both the 1870 and 1880 census.
John died shortly after the latter census. Unfortunately, his death notice doesn't state where he was interred.
