  BIOGRAPHY: Schaefer (Shepherd) Adam Gottfried Voigt and his family lived in the town of Birkholz bei Falkenburg, Pommern before leaving for Texas with the help of the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants (the "Verein"). The family sailed from Bremen aboard the "Johann Detthardt" on 18 Sep 1846 and arrived at Galveston, Texas on 23 Oct 1846. Adam Gottfried Voigt exchanged a number of letters with the Verein before coming to Texas. These letters can be found in the Solms Braunfels Archives.
