Where did Carl Schochenmaier want to go?

I hope you remember that we have found out that only one Carl Schochenmaier could match the requirements to be the Carl Schochenmaier whose son Christian Schochenmaier had been baptized in 1844 in the South Russia: I mean Carl Heinrich Cornelius (1798). He is son of Immanuel Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1759-1834), the hatter from Ludwigsburg. His birth year could fit to the births of the first Schochenmaiers generation in the Russian Empire: August (1825), Gottlieb (abt. 1828), Ludwig (abt. 1830) and already above-mentioned Christian (1837). Everything we have of him, it's the family table of his parents with comments on every son and daughter. It's interesting to note that there is a comment about Carl but I could NOT decipher it (in blue).



After I asked on Facebook (in the group of the old German writings), they gave me answer during a couple of minutes.

Are you ready??? 

He emigrated to CAUCASIEN!!! 

That's amazing! Because it could be the answer to all our research. You are going to ask me where "Caucasien" and you are absolutely right it has a bit to do with Caucasus. Nevertheless, it's the same direction - the South Russia!!! I am pretty sure that now we found out the missing link between the actual Schochenmaier's family tree and the historic one!!! I am really impressed)))
