General Notes (Husband)

---

Frederick was probably the child in utero referred to in a letter which is dated "Thursday the 30th 1815." Probably this letter was written from Belgium since Eliza mentions the presence of the father of Mauritz (who was visiting form Weilburg). The letter was probably written the 30th of March since Thursday was on the 30th only in March and November in 1815 and no mention is made of the wounds received by her husband in the Battle of Waterloo. Jost Frederich mentions leaving Belgium in May 1815 shortly before the Battle of Waterloo.

Depending on when Frederick was born he was either born in Belgium or Prussia. 1870 Census record says Belgium so that is most likely.

Among the group coming to Texas with the Fisher-Miller Colony that arrived in Indianola, Texas in 1846, were the five deCloudt brothers from Germany: Arthur, George William, Frederick, Richard, and Jost Wyrich. This family had for many years been owners of many acres of land in Germany, however, due to taxes, poor management and the ever present threat of war, these brothers sought fortunes in America. Not being affluent, they sought employment but found none in Indianola.
They went to Laredo, Texas and joined Company A, 6th Texas Rangers under Captain Mirabeau Lamar. Next, they went to Mexico and fought in the Mexican War under Generals Scott and Taylor in Vera Cruz.
On returning to Texas, the brothers separated; Jost Wyrich returned to Germany; Frederick stayed in Indianola; Arthur and Richard went on to the Hill Country, settling at Rocksprings and Fredericksburg. Richard served as second sheriff of Gillespie County, later moving to Blanco, Kerr, Edwards and Bexar Counties.

Frederick died in Texas.
