      Ludwig does not appear in any records after 1766. Although his wife Elisabeth Herdt appears on the 1767 1st settler list married to Johann Jacob Felsing along with the children of Johann Jacob and his first wife. Apparently Ludwig died by 1767 and his wife remarried to Johann Jacob Felsing whose own wife apparently had died.
