Emigration to the United States was proably in 1849. Herman filed intent to emigrate in May 1849 and Henry was born in WI in Nov 1849.
1850 Census shows her as age 34, (listed as "Armenia") living in De Pere with her husband Herman, age 34, sons Jacob, age 11 (listed as "Cobus", probably a mispelling of Jacobus) and Andrew, 8 months (who's age matches the second child named Henry). It appears that the first child named Henry and the daughter Theodora died prior to that census. They were living in the same dwelling as the family of Theodore Coonen (listed as Doras Coonen on the form).
