On the background of the appearance of the Frenchman:
In 1859, the battles of Magenta on June 4, 1859 and on June 24, 1959 of Solferino between the French army (max. 170,000 men) against the Austrians in Piedmont / Northern Italy.
It is quite possible that a Frenchman (because a French raider / deserter was regularly named by those involved) could join the military service in the above context, e.g. during the requisition or during the deployment, by evacuation. It is then logical that he fled to relatively close German territory Mosel / Hunsrück and that the above-mentioned emergency case occurred.
Now why did Johannes just flee to Brazil? There have been crop failures in the Hunsrück since 1857, which meant much less milling yield for the mills, so there too, distress. This explains an o.a. Fight for the probably vital supplies. And also that many Hunsrückers emigrated to Brazil with families in 1845/1846, and later from 1857 to 1862, which lured with relative wealth.
And so Johannes also emigrated to Brazil via Antwerp. On the crossing he got to know his young wife. Back then, she was only able to acquire land in Posadas / northern Brazil / near Iguazu as a married woman.

Schessels-Beersche Water Source
Highlight • Natural Monument
Although there is no proof of this, it is known from the traditions of our ancestors that there was an annual cattle market in Thörlingen around the turn of the century and probably earlier.
A proof of this could be provided by the "Schessels-Beersche" ("Schessels-Beersche").
Schessels-Beersche is a water point in the forest not far from the Viehmarktwiese.
It is located below a hiking trail on a rocky outcrop.
On this rock a round indentation was carved by human hands, in the shape of a bowl; hence the name "Schessels-Beersche".
It is assumed, at least that is what the Thörling chronicle says, that shepherds used to get supplies at this water point.

There is even a designated hiking car park, but today I was able to use the only parking space at the church because I had the route to myself.
