The 'August's' Move from Ringwood, Hampshire, England to USA Minisota 1850's?

[Susie Sue]

The August's of the New Forest, Ringwood, Hampshire emigrated to the USA around the mid 1800's.  There is no trace of any of them and I am looking to see if any survived and if there are decendants.

One person in particular was in the Winona Daily, Republic on 11th April 1868, page 3.  There was a big fire at Farrington's Group Building and John August (one of the ancesters) had fatal injuries and died.

There was also a Frederick August who wrote from 2797(?) W.St, Lincoln, Nebraska to England looking for his relatives.  He sent the letter to Ringwood 12th August 1918

I do hope someone can help me to find ancestral information and of any possible descendants.
