There is a Leonhard Rill/Rühl who was also born in 1828 and emigrated with his family to the USA. He comes from Vielbrunn in Hessen. However, it is not the same person, the date of birth is different, as is the name of the wife: Johann Leonhard Rühl
While the 1860 census states his origin as the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt,[1] the ine from 1870 claimed he was from Bavaria.[2]
In case he is not found in Darmstadt, the capital of Hesse-Darmstadt, please move this profile to Category:Germany Family Brick Walls until a clue is found, where to look for him.
