Friedrich Krause family immigration - 1881, Baltimore

Friedrich Krause and his family immigrated in the United States on 30 April 1881, with a destination of Toledo, Ohio.  They settled in Maple Grove, Hennepin, Minnesota.  They had departed from Bremen, Germany and arrived at Baltimore, Maryland, traveling on the ship "Leipzig", of the Norddeutscher Lloyd Line of Bremen.   Below is the ship list of their arrival, see lines 176-181. 

Friedrich Krause, 28 years old, gardener (German term for a cottager)
Albertina Krause, 30
Hermann Krause, 7
Emilie Krause, 4
Ottilie Krause, 3
Albert Krause, 10 months

The ship list notes Brandenburg as their origin, however, we know that they and their extended family were from the Gramenz Parish, Neustettin, Pommern.  Did Friedrich live somewhere else before emigrating?? We are not sure, as we have not found his marriage record to Albertina, or Emilie's birth in 1875.  The church records are missing some pages and they don't show up during this time period.
