PIaggio from Genoa, Italy

Classification: Query
Surnames: PIAGGIO, CAMPODONICO
I am looking for information on the family of Geo Batta Piaggio (aka in the US: John B. Piaggio), born about 1845, possibly in Genoa, Italy.

He emigrated to the United States in 1863, to Memphis, Tennessee. He married Louisa Campodonico April 11, 1869 and they had children: Mary (1870), Mary Agnes aka Mamie (1871). John J. (1872), Catherine aka Kate (1877), Antonio (1877) and Margaret (1879).

His name may have also been Gio Batta Piaggio (taken from his writing in the marriage certificate, it is hard to decipher).

He and his son Antonio died of yellow fever in Memphis in 1878. I am looking for connections to his heritage in Italy. He is my son's ggg-grandfather.

Cheers - Kalli
