Peterson Geraldine Louise [Female] b. 7 FEB 1923 West Salem, La Crosse, Wisconsin - d. 18 JUN 2001 West Salem, La Crosse, Wisconsin
She was divorced from Theodore by 1950 and living with a 3-year old daughter, Teresa.
Tenant in Altehäusers (now Hanjosts), then called Linde.
AKA Mebes.
Some sources refer to him as Johann Henrich, but I think Hermann is more likely correct. The identity of his wife is uncertain. She could have been a Homrighausen.
Said to be born in Bormanns house, Wunderthausen, but does not show up in the records for that house as a child.
Born in Bormanns Haus, but may have later resided in Haase Haus with their daughter, Anna Elisabeth, and her husband, Johannes Haase.
Assumed the tenancy in Lotzes house.
Born in Lotzes house, became the tenant in Neuhäusers.
Born in and took over Fuchs house.
Born in Beitzels house, but eventually took over Beckers.
Born in and tenant in Schwarze house.
Born in Schwarze house.
Lived in Brückeschneiders.
Born in Schwarze house, married into Auf Der Leye--apparently. There is some confusion between this Johannes and his supposed brother Johann Hermann. One of them married Anna Elisabeth Beitzel. There could only have been one of them.
Born in Schwarze house, married into Auf der Leye.
Tenant in Schmeds. There are no records of his birth or death, though he was certainly deceased by 1678. Experts can only make educated guesses from what records do exist. One important scholar (Jochen Karl Mehldau) proposes a birth date around 1617. But Klaus Homrighausen has more in-depth knowledge of Wunderthausen and proposes roughly 1630. The two made different reconstructions of their offspring as well. We will never know, but I lean toward the family presented here as outlined by Hr. Homrighausen.
It is not clear where he came from though is certainly a Wittgensteiner.
Married into Linde Haus in Wunderthausen but it is not certain where he came from.
The miller in Wunderthausen.
His wife was born in Jochums Haus in Wunderthausen, and they lived there as sub-tenants. Apparently they were both poor and in debt when they sold whatever they had to travel to America. The family were among those recorded as going to America in 1796. Their actual fates are often unknown. I believe that the family name then disappeared from Wunderthausen, though it was common elsewhere in Wittgenstein.
Apparently born in Jochums Haus in Wunderthausen. Appears to have gone to America with his parents in 1796.
Born in Jochums Haus in Wunderthausen. As far as we know, he went to America with his parents in 1796.
