	Although Ephriam was born in the USA and his family had lived here for a long time, the others were all born in Hesse-Darmstadt. Why did these new immigrants choose to fight so soon in their adopted country? Was it a sign of commitment to their new home, a reflection of their political beliefs, a moral decision, or a way to earn money and establish themselves in a new land?

	Adam Francis II, the oldest son, grew up and was educated in Dubuque. As a young man of 20, he traveled for his father to St. Louis and New York to purchase goods for the family business.
