He met a Marie Kathryn Linderman or Linderson, who was born 8
April 1822 in Hanover, Germany. She was
working for a Francis Blair who had built a large dwelling in Maryland just
inside the district line. Ludwig and
Marie married.
They were in the 1850 census for Berrys, Montgomery Co., MD,

Montgomery Co., MD with some of the children, but no husband. She was also head of household in the 1880
census for Berrys, Montgomery Co., MD.
Her name was spelled Catherine or Catharine in the census records. (R‑1)
