Johann Peter Becker was born in Niederklein, Germany, his family had lived there for at least three prior generations, possibly more.
Johann was a stone mason.
Johann married Elizabeth Schneider on February 13, 1809. They had ten children during their marriage. At least four of his sons also became stone masons. At least four of their children emigrated to the USA.
Johann Becker passed away if June 1854 in his hometown of Niederklein.
The villiage of Niederklein was (is) stable/unmoving for centuries, but the world immediately around it was constantly changing during the lifetimes of this specific Becker Family. Niederklein was absorbed by three different states or countries from 1800-1835. Johann and his wife Elizabeth were born in Niederklein, Prussia. Six of their children were born in Niederklein, Westphalia, Confederation of the Rhine. Four of their children were born in the time of Niederklien, Hesse, German Confederation. I have chosen to present this information in this research note, in the familiy's ten profiles.
