Biography
Johannes Peter "John" Pung was born on 5 April 1799 in Rheinbach, Rheinland, Prussia (in present-day Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) to Jakob Pung and Agnes Hei[d]t.[1] He was married to Maria Catherine Schu[e]ller on 16 July 1839 in Langenfeld, Rheinland, Prussia.[2] It is unknown if he had gotten married previously, but according to his immigration record, he came over with a few older children who were most definitely born to a different mother. Nevertheless, John, Catherine, his other children, and their at most two kids together born in Prussia (one of which was Moritz, AKA Martin)[3] left from Le Havre, France on the Passenger Ship Robert Isaac and arrived in New York City on 18 October 1843.[4] They were all living together in Richfield, Washington, Wisconsin, USA from 1850 to 1860[5], and Moritz and Nicholas were both listed specifically in the 1860 census.[6] John worked as a farmer until he passed away in Richfield on 4 January 1861 at the age of 61 and is buried in Saint Marys Church Cemetery.[7]
