Yes, third entry on the left. Could this be Hans jr? (Requires free Familysearch menbership to view.) More here and here. Married Birgit Bach in 1854. In-laws.

Here is a travel document. Looks like him as the birth date is the same. His employer at the time of his arrival is 3M Company, St Paul, Minnesota. A bit of wow when I saw that, as I worked for 3M at their Research Center in Saint Paul rom 1961 to 1967!
