Consider John and Anna Steif, both born in Hesse, Germany, around 1818. In 1860 they were living on a small farm in Prince William County, Virginia. John listed his profession as cooper. They had two daughters. Sabenia, seven years old, was born in Missouri, while four-year-old Clara was born in Kansas Territory. In 1872 they sold their Prince William County land and disappeared from the Virginia records, no doubt gone to some other distant place.
