My family didn't need a boat. They, apparently came from up around the Red
iver. My Mom was born in Calera, OK and my Dad was born in Bokchito, OK. Before
hat they may have lived in caves for all I know. My Granfather on my Dad's side
as named George Riley, they tell me. My sister Sue is adopted and her family
rom my Mother's side is bigger and has deeper Texas roots, I believe.
The archivist at Washington-on-the-Brazos supports the very strong possibility
hat a I am a descendant of Ruth Dodson who made the first flag of the Texas
epublic. Up until the war for Texas Independence every Texican town had their
wn militia and flag (Gonzales "Come and Get It") For the convention they had to
gree on one flag and that was the Dodson flag. Red White and Blue bars vertical
like the French flag) with a star on the left bar. It is on display at the
lamo.
Ruth's husband was not at San Jacinto because he was one of the leaders of the
Runaway Scrape".
They were from Harrisburg, which is now Houston.
I think I told this story on here before, but Kelly doesn't know it. He's from
ichigan and they don't really have any history.
Bonus trivia, Did Y'all know that Sam Houston's name was the first word spoken
rom the surface of the moon?

Eberling clan arrives in Texas Jan 12, 1846 (my mother's maiden name)
n September 25, 1845, The entire Eberling family, consisting of Carl, his wife
Katherine) and three single sons, plus their two married children and their
amilies departed from Bremen, Germany bound for the new promised land. One of
heir children, Katherine Elisabeth (Eberling) Wolfshohl, her husband and two
hildren were also aboard the same ship. Her children were Jacobine and Daniel.
ence, on board this ship were my great-great-great maternal grandparents (Carl
nd Katherine Eberling). Also aboard were my great-great maternal grandparents
August and Katherine Wolfshohl). Finally, aboard this ship was my great
aternal grandmother (Jacobine Wolfshohl).
The “Johann Dethardt,” a two-mast Brig (tall ship) was considered the flagship
f the newly formed Verein fleet. Its Captain was Theodore Ludering. Captain
udering was also a part owner of the “Johann Dethardt.” Actually, the Ludering
ompany owned one-third of this vessel. This particular ship was one of a
our-vessel fleet that made up the newly formed Verein fleet. The other
all-ships were the "Herschel," the "Ferdinand," and the "Apollo." The Johann
ethardt was built in Bremerhaven, Germany by Friedrich Wencke and was launched
n March 2, 1843. It was described as being a completely wooden framed ship
ith a copper lined bottom. Its dimensions were 86 feet in length, and 21 feet
n width . Without question, it was a rather small vessel to be holding
pproximately 150 people and their belongings for the trip to Texas.
After an extremely long journey, the Johann Dethardt finally docked in
alveston, Texas on January 12, 1846. On this, the fourth and final voyage of
he “Johann Dethardt,” a total of 132 passengers (26 families) arrived, most of
hom were transported from Galveston to Indianola, Texas by smaller schooners.
t appears that the Eberling family separated in Galveston, taking different
outes to reach their ultimate destination. We know that Charles Eberling, his
ife Christina, and their two children (Caroline and Marianne) resided in
alveston until after 1850. We also know that Carl and Katherine Eberling
roceeded straight to the New Braunfels area, via Indianola, because both died
n the cholera epidemic in the summer of 1846. As for the rest of the family,
e do not know how they traveled to their destination, and for some of them, we
o not even know what their destination was. This will be painstakingly pointed
ut in the following
Addendum where each known member of the family is traced. In the Addendum,
ach child of Carl and Katherine Eberling will be traced from their generation
second) to the present generation. The second generation will be designation
2, the third generation, G3, and so on. Naturally, the first generation of
his lineage consists of only Carl and Katherine Eberling.
Personal Comments; It is exalting to know that on that one 86 foot sail boat,
ot only did the passengers depend, but also my entire family lineage. One
ould become very philosophical at this point with a bunch of what if questions,
ut that is not the purpose of this study.

iffers from other sources which put the arrival date in the latter part of
ecember, 1845.
