Adolph Frederick ELGGREN

                   BAPTISM: According what Albert John wrote in his history, his father was baptized on 27 of July 1861, not 27 of June 1861.  But according to the temple records at the time of Adolph's endowment, Adolph put down that he was baptized on 27 June 1861. In a brief history that Adloph wrote for the Genealogical Survery of L.D.S. Members he states that he was baptized in 1859.

Adolph came to America in 1865 on the American packet ship B.S.Kimball with Captain Henry Dearborn.  He was listed on the ship's record as Elggren, Anders Frederik, born about 1834, age 31, occupation husmand.
The record shows that it was on Monday May 8, 1865 that the packet ship B.S. Kimball sailed from Humburg, Germany, with 557 Saints, under the direction of Anders W. Winberg.  The company landed in New York, June 15th.  The record shows that a Samuelson, Johannes, was also on board.  There was no birth year given for Johannes.  We are assuming that this is Johanna because the family history states that Johanna came over on the same ship as Adolph.
