On 25 Sep 1852 through the port of New York, son Andreas Sprengling immigrated aboard the SS Edwina. The manifest states he was 29 years old, a farmer and from Hesse.
He seems to have been traveling with a man named George Stallmann, aged 27, who is presumably a relative of his step-mother Katharina Mai; Katharina Mai's mother was a Stallmann.

On 18 Oct 1854 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, John H. Senne & his wife Barbara mortgaged a property to Catherina Sprengling for $1,000. The property was described as "Lot nine and the East one third of Lot twelve in Block forty five in the second Ward of the City of Milwaukee and the buildings thereon." John H. & Barbara Senn stated they would be responsible for taxes and assessments of every nature, as well as $50 for attorney's fees. The witnesses to the deed were A. Henry Bielfeld JP and Lorenz Minkler. John H. & Barbara Senn swore oath and proved the deed on 18 Oct 1854 and the deed was recorded the same day. The full entry states the mortgage was delivered to Peter Sprengling.
NOTE: This property is presently located near the corner of W Highland Ave. and N 6th St. in Milwaukee. This is now a parking lot, directly across the street from the Fiserv Forum.
