Lawrence Breyer, my great great great grandfather arrived in Philadelphia prior to the 1840 census, he was a sugar maker from Germany, who married my great great grandmother, Martha Allen in London. She and the children arrived in the US about 1833, can't positively find him on a passenger list and there were 2 Lawrence Breyers who were sugar makers in Philly at about the same time. ;)
