PENKE - hohenfier, Flatow

I am looking for Penke's who's family were in Hohenfier, Flatow, Grenzmark Prussia around 1873.
Shortly before this (about 1870) Ferdinand Edward Penke, born 1840, came to America and was in Philadelphia for a while. In 1873 his brother Frederick Penke born 1845 arrived in Ripon, Wisconsin. In about 1875, Ferdinand came from Philadelphia also to Ripon. They were followed about 2 years later by Carl (Charles) Penke born 1852 in Prussia. Another brother also came to Ripon but stayed two or three years and then returned to Germany - I do not know his name. Somewhere there must be Penke's who descended from this family in America or in Germany - Ich hoffe ihnen zu finden.
