The estate of Schlagenthin is near what is now Duza Cerkwica, Sępólno County, Poland, and this is listed as his city of birth on the ship manifest when he came to America. Damerka -Damerkau (near Lusino,PL) is listed as his city of birth on his first Declaration of Intention. Both of these list year of birth of 1852. (Baltimore, Passenger Lists, 1820-1964). He married Anna Buchholz, who was born 15 June 1851, city of birth listed on records as Schlagenthin, Prussia. Whether or not this is the correct city of birth for either them, it is likely that this was their last city of residence before emigrating.
