Born in Strasbourg, Alsace, France, in a Jewish family,[1] as Baruch Schleisinger, he legally changed his name to Baruch Schleisinger Weil. In 1843, he emigranted to the United States, settling first in New York City and then in New Orleans. Then in 1845 he moved to Wisconsin Territory. Weil platted the village of Schleisingerville, Wisconsin (now Slinger, Wisconsin) in Washington County, Wisconsin, where he had various business interests. Since the nearest Jewish community was in Milwaukee, he arranged for teachers to come the roughly 35 miles by ox team to instruct his children.
