Restored Hamilton County, Ohio, Marriages, 1808-1849

HENRY BRACKMAN, whose fine farm of no acres is situated in section 15, Recovery township, was born in Marion township, Mercer County, Ohio, April 18, 1837, and is a son of John and Agnes (Dorgeloh) Brackman.

The parents of Mr. Brackman were both natives of Germany. At the age of 15 years, John Brackman became an ocean sailor and followed the sea until he was 22 years of age. In order to escape service in the German Army, he came to America and settled at Baltimore, where he worked on the railroad then being constructed between Baltimore and Washington. From there he came to Cincinnati, Ohio, later going to Alabama where he worked through the winter, returning in the spring to Cincinnati, making the trip on a steamboat running between New Orleans and Cincinnati. In the latter city he married and there he continued to make his home. In the summer time he worked on the steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, while in the winter time he was employed in railroad and canal construction work. In the spring of 1836 he came to Marion township, Mercer County, where he entered 80 acres of wild land for himself and 80 acres for his friend, Frank Evers, paying $100 for his 80 acres. The land had been entered two years before, in 1834.

Mr. Brackman built a round-log cabin on his land, which, as prosperity came to him through hard work, was replaced by a hewed-log house. On this farm his children, six in number, were reared. He died in 1873.

John Brackman was married (first) to Agnes Dorgeloh, who died in 1838, leaving one child, Henry, the subject of this sketch, who was then one year and seven months old. A cousin, Catherine Dorgeloh, came to take care of the infant and she subsequently became Mr. Brackman's second wife. Five children were born to this union, of whom the survivors are: Theodore and Catherine, who live on the old farm in Marion township.
