Diefenbach/Deafenbaugh

My Great Grandfather Adam Diefenbach came from Bavaria, Germany around 1831-32. He settled in Tuscawarus Co. Ohio. The story was always told that he came over with a brother or two and they separated when they got to the U.S.A. to find work and was supposed to contact relatives in Germany to find each other later. He was the only one that ever contacted Germany. I would love to know what ship he came over on so that I could try to follow up on his brothers. I have not been able to find the right listing. His wife came over later with son Adam and daughter Catherine. They later had another son George and then she died. Adam remarried, and had three more children, Rosina, Jacob and Louisa. Jacob was my grandfather. When Jacob left Ohio he changed his name to Deafenbaugh so that was my maiden name. He married my grandmother in Illinois and moved to Nebraska where they raised their family. If anyone has any info on Adam and his brothers please e-mail me. Thanks Helen
