John left Germany and immigrated to America, eventually settling in Michigan sometime before 1863.

He stood 5’7’’ with blue eyes, black hair and a dark complexion and was a 33-year-old cigar-maker possibly living in Erin, Macomb County when he became a substitute for Frederick Christian Strickler who was drafted from Erin on February 17, 1863.
