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.
