His younger brother, Johann Frederick, also made the trip. In 1870, the family is living in Bruce, Benton County, Iowa, with the six children still in the household. Sometime between that census and the 1880 census, his wife, Anna Maria passed away, but they were still living in Bruce.

A great grandson of this couple was William Lawrence Shirer, notable American author and international radio correspondent William L. Shirer, most well known for his book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." Some Scheurer descendants adopted "Shirer" (which is close to the sound when Germans pronounce the surname), while others kept the German spelling. The younger sister of Johann Jakob and Johann Frederick Brenneisen was Maria Elisabeth Brenneisen. She married Alois Back. They were the parents of 7 children - all born in Germany - but they were in the U.S. by 1870. They lived and died in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
