Johann Ludwig was born ca. 1770 in the district of Koschmin, province Posen, Prussia, Germany. He was the grandfather and earliest known ancestor of Johann Andreas (Andres or Andrew) Ludwig. Andreas was born 1856 in Wielowies, Kreis Koschmin, province Posen, Prussia, Germany, to Friedrich and Christiane Ludwig. Andreas married Charlotte Reich, the daughter of Christian Reich, ca. 1858. They had 13 children. In 1892 Andreas, his wife and 6 of their children immigrated to Galveston, Texas. Five of their other children later immigrated with their families. Two of their children are believed to have died in Germany. Andreas died in 1912 in Washington County, Texas, and his wife Charlotte died in 1917. Descendants live in Texas, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, and elsewhere.
