"The Spang Family of Boston" indicates that Peter suddenly left Prussia for South Africa after shooting his commanding officer.
*****
Went to Cape Town, South Africa in 1870 (Age 16) after shooting to death his commanding officer. family only received two letters from him
the following is from Franz Spang in South Africa
Peter Franz boarded a ship in 1870, with Laage, working as a sailor/ seaman. We
do not know who was his employer and why he did this. It could maybe have been
to avoid prosecution for the murder. They were in in Cape Town at Tafelbergbay
in 1870/71 and decided to stay in South Africa. In 1872 Peter Franz moved to
Middelburg in the Old Tranvaal Republic,that became the Province Transvaal, that
is now known as Mpumalanga ( this means the place where the sun rises)
Peter Franz was married to Gertuida Elizabeth Bosman and on the 24th of December
1881 a son was born. Frans Pieter Spang. This is my Father's Grandfather. My
uncle has a Certificate of Christening that was witnessed by a FJ Spang and a FL
Spang. This was in all possibly his brother? Your Grandfather?
We do not know who they were and there is no record of them ever staying in
South Africa. There were in all 14 children born, but 12 of them didn?t make it
past 2.
