Born: between 1762 & 1789 somewhere in Germany, I really don't think he was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany as there are no Erkman/n in that area in the extant records. Possibly from Erkmannsdorf, Thuringia, Germany
Died: by 1862 - 1879 probably in Germany, but maybe not. Did he migrate to U.S. with the family and die on the journey or after he arrived?
Buried: Somewhere in Germany, could be in Hesse-Darmstadt.
Married: by 1806 in Germany
