1860 Census, Ward 5 Cleveland, page 88, family 700
July 16, 1860
indexed as Ticknape at ancestry.com, image looked like Tickanapa

Henrietta Ticknape, 53, widow, born in Byard
Frank Ticknape, 25, born in Byard
Bernard Ticknape, 22, born in Byard
John Ticknape, 21, born in Byard
Christina Ticknape, 18, born in Byard
Johana Ticknape, 17, born in Byard
Elizabeth Ticknape, 14, born in Byard

Notes: no occupations listed. Most of the neighboring families had someone born in Holland. "Johana" is probably Johanna Gertrude who married John Raimer. I'm pretty sure John is with his parents in 1860, so they weren't married yet. But it could be Johanna Josephina, whom I haven't yet found in America.

Naturalization Record Index Cards
Bernhardt Te Kniepe
Certificate 3581, US District Court, Cleveland
naturalized October 9, 1860
witness: Frank Te Kniepe
-----------------------
note: There is a Francis Teknipe (Certif #3570) and a Bernhardt Te Kniepe (Certif #3581) naturalized on the same day in the same court. This makes me think they are these two men, brothers. Bernhardt's witness is Frank.

Bernard was living on Scott in 1870, since on the same page as Bernard in 1870 Census was this man, listed in the directory:
John Klein, cooper, 187 Scott. Scott became West 57th NW after the 1906 street renaming and reorganization
