Honest and industrious people.
"I.I.I" means the emigrant party consisted of one adult male, one adult female, and one minor child.  It's very odd for a couple in their 40s/50s to have only one (very young) child.  I suspect the daughter, Anna Maria, was not baptised as an infant.

Heinrich can't have been baptized before he was born, so one or both of these dates is wrong.
