Knopp - Lindig, Ford - Francis Family

I am researching the Johann Joseph Knopp and Heinrich Lindig families who lived in the Stonewall and Grapetown Texas area. The Knopps came from Eitelborn, Nassau, Germany, and the Lindigs came from Roklum, Halberstadt, Sachsen, Preussen. Arrival in USA 1871 and 1868 respectively.

Names in the family tree in addition to Knopp and Lindig are Bartels, Lohr, Wallbaum, Bock, and Rust.

I am also researching Frederick George Francis and Louise Alice Ford from Brighton and London, England. Arrival in US 1908.

Names in this family tree include Francis, Ford, Apps, Parsons, Hodges, Olliver, and Chisman.

If you have any information or questions, feel free to contact me at the provided email address. I will be happy to share what information I have. Please note that the Lindig report is a work-in-progress. I am currently reading German script and trying to determine what the words are!
