Henry Pruess (Pruss) born in Hennstedt, Germany in 1876 came to the US Omaha, NEin 1882. Then the family lost track of him. His sister Mina Pruss came also and lived with my grandfather Hinrich Lorenz in Plainview, NE but she died in 1898. So have wanted to see where Henry known in Germany Jurgen Hinrich Pruss. Did he marry Elizabeth Josephine Promes or another possible in Iowa?

Prus nation,that allegedly was given to the name of Prus living in August's days , might be descended either from him,or from his likely ancestors,kings of Bithynia called Prusias .
The second of that name Prusias Kynégos ruling between about 183 and 149 b.c. ,is officially regarded as the son of the first one ,but for me it seems much more plausible that he was in fact a son of Hannibal hosted in that time in Bithynia by the old Prusias . As it is known,Italians claim Hannibal to have committed suicide in fear of being handed out to Romans , but other reports suggest he might have left for Parthia ,the ruling dynasty of which he came from anyway , and continued his actions until his real death in about 175 b.c. under the name Phriapatios,and then was succeeded by Artaban .
The latter ,mentioned as Idwal Foel and Harald Haarfager in Welsh and Norman tradition respectively, both describing events of time using an aera with beginning in 1065 b.c. ,is by the previous stated to be a son of Anarawd ruling until about 916 according to their countings . In Peruvian genealogies he is also listed after Roga Didu ,ruling in the same period transscribed by Spaniards as from 1212 until 1238 ,whose name ,that in modern Lithuanian would sound Ragas Didis , may in old Prussian well mean Big Horn .
This may be because he was the first man ,born to a goat father , to turn into a Rhinoceros - spiritually, of course .
Prusias thus,husband of Apamé ,identical with Pushyapamitra in India ,might have led Balt peoples to there , and might have been regarded as the incarnation of God ,due to what Baltic people called him also Dievas Okopirms . In other parts of India than the one of Maurya dynasty - in this case the one he descended from too - , namely in Lohara state of Kashmir ,his name corresponding to Roga Didu was Raja-Deva .
Raja ( Rawagya ) and Régus ( Ra-ya-Wag ) words in Hindi and Latin respectively both may etymologically be identical with Baltic-Slavic Roga meaning horn ,inasmuch earlier kings used to bear horns on their head . This is not so now any more .
Loharas call his father Jaga-Deva ,that supports the suggestion of his father being Hannibal,as Jagga is used generally as a synonym of Cannibal .
Hannibal "disappeareed" in Libyssa of Bithynia ,a place inhabited by Lib people supported by Levites of Latvian language .
