Marcellus, his wife Catharina (Lorenz), and their one year old daughter Appolonia immigrated from Eschbach, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany; in 1840, aboard the ship "Isaac Allerton" which sailed from Le Havre to New Orleans, arriving October 8, 1840. (Reference: "Quarterly Abstracts of Passengers, Lists of Vessels Arriving at New Orleans, January 1838 - September 1845" Family History Center, Microfilm Number 0200236) Eschbach is a small village in the southwest part of the Pfalz (palatinate), from 1816 to 1920 part of Bayern (Bavaria). Larger towns nearby are Landau/Pfalz and Bad Bergzabern. From 1801 to 1816, this area was officially the Department du Mont Tonnerre, which belonged to France. Prior to that, 1793 to 1801, this area was occupied by France. The Pfalz is the area on the west bank of the Rhine River towards the Luxembourg and French borders. It belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria (Bayern) until 1918, today it is part of the federal state of Rhineland-Pfalz. Eschbach is situated near the city of Landau, app. 40 km southwest of Mannheim and 30 km northwest of Karlsruhe. Isaac Allerton: The "Isaac Allerton" was built in 1838 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire by Master Carpenter George Raynes. The ship was 137 feet long, 30 feet wide, with a 15 foot draft, and weighed 594 tons. The Isaac Allerton spent her years as a merchant ship carrying cargoes throughout the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and the North Atlantic Ocean. On the night of August 27, 1856, the Isaac Allerton, sailing from New York to New Orleans, was caught in a hurricane off Saddlebunch Keys, 15 miles ESE of Key West. She road anchor for several hours before the lines were cut and she ground over Washer Woman Shoals, lost her rudder and sank in Hawks Channel in five fathoms of water. The crew and passengers spent the night in longboats and were resuced the following morning by Key West wreckers led by George Alderslade. Because the ship had sunk in such deep water, strong muddy currents as well as diving to 30 feet without tanks or masks complicated salvage efforts. The Key West wreckers were unable to salvage all the cargo. But the cargo they did salvage resulted in a payoff of over $50,000 making the Isaac Allerton the richest wreck in Key West history. Over 130 years later, in 1985, the wreck of the Isaac Allerton was rediscovered by a group of local divers who had been searching for the celebrated Spanish treasure ship "Atocha" wreck. Some of the modern salvor's had great-great grandparents who were wreckers and had worked the original salvage in 1856. Today you can relive the days of the Isaac Allerton and see the original cargo and artifacts from the ship at the Key West Shipwreck Historeum Museum. From Reverend Monsignor Meier, Diocese of Covington Archives: "Marcellus is a prominent name in Roman history. That was the cognomen of M. Claudius Marcellus (the conqueror of Hannibal at Nola)." From Dictionary of Names: Marcel (French) from the Latin name Marcellus, originally a diminutive of Marcus. The name has always been popular in France as it was borne by a 3rd century missionary to Gaul, martyred at Bourges with his companion Anastasius. February 18, 1850 Burial Record is from Corpus Christi Church, founded in 1845, located on Chestnut Street between Patterson and Isabella, in Newport, Kentucky.Marcel married Maria Katharina Lorenz on 2 Jul 1839 in Eschbach, Pfalz, Bayern. Maria (daughter of Johannes Jakob Lorenz and Maria Philippina Christ) was born on 29 Jan 1817 in Eschbach, Pfalz, Bayern; died on 16 Jun 1890 in Oldenburg, Franklin County, Indiana, USA.
