Does anyone have any information on a Charles Kaiser/Kayser? He (born about 1825) was listed on the 1850 Comal County Census, with wife Louisa (born about 1828) and children Franz (3 yrs) and Mary (1 yr). His wife may have been listed also in the Fredericksburg Census also in 1850.

He is thought to be an abolitionist from Kansas that was famous for what he did up there.

Please send any information to Kay Binder at kaybinder@sbcglobal.net
