(11) The Wisconsin Historical Society, "Old World Wisconsin" outdoor museum of rural life, Eagle, Waukesha Co., WI, visited August 10, 2002. Information digitally photographed and transcribed from background notes kept on-site at the Koepsell Farm exhibit. Pages 89-90.

"The Frederick WITTE family immigrated to the Town of Lebanon, Dodge County [Wisconsin] sometime between 1846 and 1850... Census listings explain that in 1850 the 37 year old [Frederick] WITTE, his wife Caroline (40 years), their four children, August (10 years), Bernardine (8 years), Albert (7 years), and William (4 years) were sharing their home with an older couple (probably his parents?) on a Town of Lebanon farm valued at $800. The entire family being native Germans suggests an arrival date of no earlier than 1846, as the youngest child was four years old at the time of the census..."
