Migration of the Baudens family

Much of German history has been shaped by the state of Prussia. It was an enduring military power until after the Second World War. At that time, the state was abolished altogether and its land divided between the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany. While some Prussians were content to remain in those countries, others moved away, many of them migrating to North America. They entered the United States mostly through Philadelphia, moving on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. Others went to Canada, settling on the prairies and in the province of Ontario. Among those of this surname listed in various historical records were: Bryan Boden who arrived in Virginia in 1635; James Boden arrived in Maryland in 1678; Anna Margarethe Boden arrived in Nova Scotia in 1753; Hinrich Boden arrived in Pennsylvania in 1803.
