I am looking for information regarding the WATKINS from Lancaster who
served in the Wisconsin Legislature before and during the Civil War. This

Looking for information regarding these people and their parents.
Michael, Martin, John, Isaiah and Henry CALVERT. They all came to
Wisconsin around the same time(1840's). All of the brothers were involved
in mining (New Diggings, WI?). Henry came in 1839-1840 to New Diggings
with his wife Jane BRUNSKILL-CALVERT and 2 children, Margaret and Simon.
Michael CALVERT married Elizabeth SPARKS and died at Fairplay, WI. Martin
CALVERT married Nannie ALDERSON and died at New Diggings, WI. John
CALVERT died at Portage, Wi. Isaiah died at New Diggins. Henry CALVERT
died 9-19-1895 at the home of his daughter Lizzie CALVERT-CAYGILL near
Linden, Wi. One sister and her niece came to Wi also, Jane CALVERT HUGILL
and Esther ALDERSON (of Shullsburg, WI). Jane died at Mifflin, WI.

I am researching my ancestor Claus Heinrich STAENDER (STENDER,
STAINER), 18 Oct 1821, Schleswig-Holstein, - 21 apr 1893, Remsen
IA), present in Platteville township Grant Co, WI in the 1870
federal Census. His daughter, Charlotte, married Wilhelm KAHL
(21 Dec 1840, Holstein - 6 Feb 1905, Remsen IA) that year; they
are listed in the 1880 federal census, also of Platteville. The
1870 census lists Claus Heinrich as Henry STAINER, 50, with wife
Henriette, 50, and children Dorothy, 13, Rudolf, 10, and Otto, 7,
all born Holstein. Claus Heinrich's 1893 death record states
that son Otto, 27, remained in Platteville.
None of the records I have access to (mostly census records)
state the year of emigration of either the STENDER family or of
Wilhelm KAHL (he had two brothers, August, born about 1843, and
Heinrich/Henry, born about 1836). The volumes of Germans to
America do not appear to help either. I live in Texas and thus
do not have access to any records specific to Grant Co.
I would appreciate any information concerning surviving relations
or points of origin or residence of my STENDER or KAHL relations.

My grandfather, Max Ludwig NOBIS lived in Wisconsin for a period of time
from sometime after 1869 until after 1900, possibly as late as 1905. .. As
best I can determine here are the approximate dates he was at various locations
in Wisconsin:
1869 to 1876 Unknown location in Wisconsin
1876 to 1882 Boscobel, Grant County, Wisconsin
1882 to 1890 Richland Center, Richland County, Wisconsin
1890 to 1898 Lisbon, North Dakota
1900 to ??? Mayville, Dodge County, Wisconsin (from 1900 census record)
Here is some other information I have on Max Ludwig NOBIS: Born: December
18, 1853 in ???, Saxony, Germany (city unknown) Died: June 12, 1940, Valley
City, Barnes County, North Dakota Immigrated to US: March 18, 1869 at age
15 to stay with his older brother in Wisconsin. From Hamburg and Havre to
New York via the ship Germania, arriving on 3/18/1869. U.S. Citizenship:
Sep 17,1880 in Lancaster,Grant County, WI Occupation: Musician (orchestra
leader, teacher of violin and baritone horn)He was an accomplished violinist.
Also he was a professional barber. Wife's name: Elizabeth (Louisa) WEDEHASE
m: Oct. 9,1876, Boscobel, WI Children: Clara A. NOBIS b: Abt. 1878, Boscobel,
Grant Co., WI William M. NOBIS b: October 31, 1879, Boscobel, Grant Co.,
WI Fannie NOBIS b: Abt March 1882, Boscobel, Grant Co., WI Max F. NOBIS b:
May 31, 1884,Richland Center,Richland Co.,WI George R. NOBIS b: July 31,
1886,Richland Center,Richland Co.,WI Wallace L. NOBIS b: May 03, 1890, Richland
Center, Richland Co., WI Hazel NOBIS b: Abt July 1891(?), in Lisbon, ND (?)
Ralph A. NOBIS b: Abt July 1896, Lisbon, ND In particular, I am interested
in any records which might indicate where in Germany, Max Ludwig NOBIS was
born. Perhaps there is also some record of the older brother that Max immigrated
to live with. This may have been at a different location in Wisconsin, sometime
between when he immigrated on March 18, 1869 and Oct. 9, 1876, his marriage
date. Any other people with the surname NOBIS, located in the general vicinity
of Richland, Grant or Dodge Counties would quite likely be his brother or
another relative, as NOBIS is a fairly rare name, about 200 people in the
U.S.A today. Can you also offer suggestions on where I might look for more
specific information on Max Ludwig NOBIS, his wife Elizabeth (WEDEHASE) NOBIS
or his first six children while they lived in Wisconsin? For example, are
there microfilm copies of the local newspapers that are available for searching?
Have there been any County family histories published that might mention
Max L. NOBIS or his music? Are any of these records available for interlibrary
loan, or will I actually have to Wisconsin city where they are located? Thank
you. Sincerely, Robert J. NOBIS, Jr. 1766 East Evergreen Street Mesa, AZ
