General Notes: Husband - Augustus Clemens Ehrenfeld, M.D.

---

He came to America in 1805. He came not as an emigrant, but to visit and assist the return of his father, George Frederick Ehrenfeld, Sr., who had been in Philadelphia a number of years on commercial business, but who was now detained by large financial losses and broken health. Diligent effort was made to close his affairs in order to facilitate the return of both, as soon as possible, to their home in Europe; but further heavy losses occurring, and a partial stroke of paralysis overtaking the father, so complicated the situation that their departure was indefinitely delayed, and, finally, neither got back.

Very full records of this family exist in the public archives of their native country, reading back to 1601. These give the names of each preceding family of ancestors, accompanied in some instances with considerable biographical sketches. Copies of these, as well as authentic traditions of the family from a date much earlier, were in the possession of the family in America. For ten generations previous to Dr. Augustus Clemens Ehrenfeld, there was either only one son, or only one that had a family and kept the line of descent alive. But, in the case of Dr. A. C. Ehrenfeld, he had six sons and three daughters, all of whom lived to marry and to rear families.
All of the ancestral line, both male and female, were educated people, a number of the men having had university educations. Most of the men were at some time in the public service. This was the fact in both the male and female ancestral lines of Dr. Ehrenfeld.

Educated at Heilbron, Germany, he subsequently served under Napoleon, and after the war came to America. [HAC 1914, 503]

He had three sons and two sons-in-law in the Gospel ministry of the Lutheran Church.
