Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Matthias Raulz
• Occupation: Farmer
• Emigration: 1856
• Census: 10 Sep 1860, Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States
• Census: 8 Jul 1870, Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States
• Census: 22 Jun 1880, Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States
• Census: 2 Jun 1900, Cross Plains Township, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States

Notes:

[US-1870-1f] has Mathias’ name as “Matthias Raulz,” a common spelling for that surname.

In [LDS-VRI-1876a], Mathias Rauls lists his parents as John (probably Johann) and Mary Rauls.

In [US-1900-2b], Matthias Rauls lists his birthdate as May 1818.

It is a common misconception in the Bonnell family that the Peter Rauls (and family), listed in [US-1860-1l] just below Mathias Rauls, is actually his son. To the contrary, Peter, son of Mathias and Elizabeth Meyer, was born in 1842 and still listed in his father’s household in 1860.

[US-1900-2b] lists Mathias and Magdalena Rauls as having been married for 46 years in 1900. If this is, in fact, the case, then the parentage of 4 of 9 of the children of Mathias and Elizabeth Meyer would be called into question. Moreover, since Mathias is enumerated in US Federal Census’ up through 1870 in the same household as Elizabeth, the notation in [US-1900-2b] seems likely to be an error on the part of the census taker or the reporter.

Mathias + Elizabeth Meyer. Elizabeth was born about 1819 in _______, _______, Kingdom of Prussia; died before 1875 in _______, _______, Wisconsin, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Emigration: 1856
• Census: 10 Sep 1860, Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States
• Census: 8 Jul 1870, Town of Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States

Notes:

The emigration date of 1856 for Elizabeth is inferred from the fact that she and Matthias were already married (with 4 children) at the time of their emigration from Prussia.

Elizabeth Meyer probably died around or before 1875 since, by 1880, Mathias is remarried with two young children ages 4 and 3.
