He was a farmer. They came to the U.S. on the ship Hansa which sailed from Bremen and arrived in New York City on 22 May 1865.
[NOTE: These are the only likely possibilities that I found in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. censuses, but I have absolutely no other evidence that they might be the same family.]
