Here is a paper that my dad and I found. I copied it word for word. Feel free to use this and let me know if you find any connections.
Jacob Fredrick Vester was born Nov. 4, 1816 in Grossbottwar, Germany. Near the year of 1839 he was married to Caroline Christine Fink, born March 2, 1814 in Grossbottwar, Germany.

In the summer of 1865 Frederick, the eldest son, corssed teh ocean in a sailboat and was on the water 65 days. He worked on a farm near Green HIll, Indiana. He enjoyed living in this country and this encouraged his parents and family to come to this country. They came in March 1868, in one of the first steam ships which crossed teh ocean in 11 days. They came directly to Green Hill, Indiana, and bought a farm about one mile southeast of Green HIll. Grandfather and Grandmother Vester spent the rest of their lives on this farm. Grandfather died December 6, 1889 at the age of 73 years and Grandmother died April 21, 1890 at the age of 76 years.
