Following the Seinecke line, Anna Seinecke had a brother named Johann Heinrich "Wilhelm" Seinecke (1785-1858) who married Anna Dorothee "Doris" Lahmeyer Seinecke (1780-1856). To this couple was born a son named Dietrich Herrmmann "Adolph" Seinecke (1821-1881). Although all the former Seineckes on this page stayed in Germany, in 1846, at the age of twenty-five, Adolph traveled to America aboard the ship the Johan George. Traveling on the same ship were Georg Eduard Förtmeier, age fifteen, and Johann Friedrich Dröge who had immigrated to America in 1834 at age twenty-one and had been home in Bohnhorst and was now returning to Cincinnati. We do not know the story behind this, but we do know that upon Georg's arrival in Cincinnati he lived with Mr. Dröge until Georg died in 1851 of pneumonia. Also boarding with Mr. Dröge was an H.G. Fortmeyer. We have as yet been able to identify him, but he is undoubtedly family from Bohnhorst. But you can read about all that at the previous link.
Dietrich Herrmann Adolph Seinecke was born on 26 Dec 1821 in Lavelsloh, Hannover, Germany. He married Johanna "Friederike" Louise Seinecke, daughter of Johann Friedrich Ludewig Seinecke and Marie Luise Wiechmann, on
30 Sep 1852 in New York City, NY. She was born on 22 Oct 1827 in Stade, Niederachsen, Germany. She died on 21 Aug 1892 in Hannover, Germany. Adolph passed away on 14 Sep 1881 in Königsberg, Bavaria, Germany. Adolph was American Consul in Cincinnati to the North German Union, as listed in the 1870 volume of the Biographic Register of the United States State Department. He was also confirmed as consul for the new state after the foundation of the German Reich. Johanna "Friederike" Louise Seinecke was buried on 24 Aug 1892 in Stadtfriedhof Stöcken , Hannoversche Landkreis, Germany.

Wedding License of Adolpf and Amanda Lotze Seinecke 1884
At this point some explanations should be made. First, looking back at
Frederika and Adolph, their marriage ended in divorce.In 1874 Frederike
applied for passports for herself and Addy and returned to Germany.
Adolph also applied for a new passport in 1875 and returned to Germany.
As mentioned above, he died in Königsberg in 1881. It may well be that
it was on this trip that Addy met her husband to be, as described on
page eleven of Eugene Mente's | 1937 Autobiography and also quoted
below.
The son, Adolph who survived to marry Amanda Lotze, died young in 1890.
Amanda eventually married Eugene Fusshippel. Amanda died on 9 Sep 1962
and is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati. Her 2nd husband,
Eugene, died 28 Apr 1900 and is buried in Walnut Hills Cemetery in
Cincinnati (Section: 15 Lot: 1621). Amanda and Eugene had a daughter,
Martha, who is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery (Sec 36 Lot 1) in the
Lotze plot with her mother. Martha was born on 12 Apr 1899 and died on

8) CHRISTINA SEINECKE [no more information]
So, Adolph and Addy are the only two children to survive to adulthood and start families. Adolph becaame a banker, owning his own company (German Savings Institution) for which Eugene Mente worked for a while. The bank eventually failed and he later owned Adolph Seinecke & Co.
Excerpt from Eugene Mente Autobiography:
"The bank was called the German Savings Institution, and was a partnership consisting of Mr. C. F. Adae and Mr. Adolph Seincke [sic]. I had some knowledge that Mr. Seincke [sic] was a distant relative of my father's but I never knew how and he never intimated he knew anything about it and never said anything to me unless it were in the line of my duties. But after I was there about a year, I presume, Dr. Foertmeyer (A.W. Foertmeyer, SWC 6th & Central) who had the drug store I mentioned in the foregoing and who also was a distant relative of the Seincke [sic]s, must have mentioned it to Mrs. Seincke [sic]. At any rate she sent word to me to come up one certain Sunday, which I did. Mr. Seincke [sic] had hardly anything to say when I was there and never referred to any relation but we had a good dinner and a glass of wine and he gave me a cigar, so everything was lovely.
The Seinckes [sic] had one daughter who was at that time, I would say, about seventeen years old, but she was at school somewhere and I did not meet her then. In 1877 a dashing young German lieutenant attracted the notice of us clerks in the bank and of course the rumor soon spread that he had come over to marry Miss Seincke [sic], which came to pass in due time. He was still in the German army and took his bride to Germany.
In 1905 when I was in the City of Hanover [sic] visiting an old supposed uncle of mine by the name of Seincke [sic] who was
distantly related to the Cincinnati Seinckes [sic], he told me that the one-time lieutenant was then General Von Stein [sic]1 and was at the head of the German cavalry."
