Finding Roots for Jacob Knorr from Illinois

I've been searching pages and pages of ships lists, newspaper reports, trees and other lists for information on my Jacob Knorr. Some information lists his origins as Bremen, Germany, and others as Wurttemberg. I found this info suggesting he was enlisted in the German army - if it's him at all. If not, it will give me a city in Germany to search:

Translation from Ancestry: Jacob Knorr, Birthplace: Brake, Deutschland (Germany), Residence : Brake, Deutschland (Germany), Date Mustered: 21 Aug 1826, Ship: Adolshine, Port of Departure: Bremen, Destination: Bergen, Norway; Archive Name: Bremen Staatsarchiv Archive Collection: 4,24-E.5 Anmusterungen von Seeleuten in Bremen, chronologisch, 1815-1832; Microfilm: FS_5363

This would make him 26 years old during his time of service. If it's not him, at least it gives me a new lead. This document lists the ship he arrived on, provided it's not the same record that says that Jacob Knorr died on the way over. Hopefully there were two that came in 1834 because the one most trees document lists the passenger as "died". Gotta read those sources!

This Jacob arrived on the ship Cassander. That's new information.

Next, I attempted to find a passenger list for the Cassander. A short search returned no results but I found a lot of people looking for the same. Isn't there a link to passenger lists on ships? I tried everyone I knew.

I found his name and that of his son, Frederick in a Quincy, IL newspaper:

Right column, middle of the page you will find their names.

Source: All the History of Adams Co, Illinois, Biographical Directory, Ellington Township, p a724a.

He and his son must have lived on adjoining land? It appears the listings here are by section and I am assuming it is referring to land.

Last but not least, there is another tree on Ancestry that lists Wilhelmina (Mene) Nickeloid as his wife with David, born in Germany 1834, Frederick J. born in Westfalen/Westphalia 1838, Amelia born in Preuben 1840 and Christopher B. born in Westfalen/Westphalia in 1843. 

That would rule out him coming over in 1834. They are shown on the 1850 census with the wife as "Mene", not Johanna Charlotte as I originally found.

So! I guess it's back to the drawing board. My thoughts were that there weren't two Jacob Knorr's coming over in 1834 anyway. He had to have come over after 1843 but before 1850. That narrows it down a bit.
