The Ott family, Johann Jacob Ott, 48, his wife Maria, and children Jacob, Caspar, Christian, Lorenz, Philip, Magdalena (Mary?), emigrated to the United States from Alsace in the early 1830s. They first settled in Pennsylvania, later settling in Deerfield, Illinois. Mary Salome Ott married Philip Brand and settled in Highland Park, Illinois.
