Some Relevant Maps
Ludwig's boat had passengers from Wurttemberg Wirtenbergand the Palatinate and sailed from Rotterdam.Palatinate

Daniel's boat had passengers from Swabia, Wurttemberg and Darmstadt and sailed from Amsterdam, about 90 KM north of Rotterdam and not on the Rhine but there are waterways connecting them that probably date back to the time of Ludwig.

Both landed in Philadelphia, Daniel's boat arrived 5 years earlier.  He may have died coming over and he may or may not have been related to Ludwig.  At any rate, I have not been able to find any trace of him in the America.  There is a record of a Daniel Freisinger

I have included maps of the Baden-Wurttemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate,  Bavaria, Significant locations in Germany related to Ludwig in one way or another, and two maps showing the Rhine drainage basin.
These maps are not all from the same time period nor from the period when Ludwig left Germany and as Germany was unified relativity late, the lines change a lot.  Swabia was only a cultural region as far back as when Ludwig left Germany.

The far right map in the second row is the Rhine river drainage basin (watershed). I have attempted to line up the watershed map with the others.  The little bay in the north of Lower Saxony is the bay just east of the word "Netherlands" in the watershed map.

Note:  There are 2 rows of 3 maps each.  If you do not see 3 maps, then scroll to the right.
