General Notes (Husband)

Source: Shifting Sands of Calhoun County
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 [wife] 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.

His widow and children apparently returned to Germany. ^6,28,31
