    Notes:

    [US-1870-1l] lists this individual’s first name as “Augusta” but with a birthdate that appoximates the verified birthdate of “Louisa A Koepsel”. Consequently, it is assumed that the “A” stood for “Augusta” and that Louisa as she got older began to prefer Louisa.

    [US-1900-2d] has Louisa’s birth in June of 1863 rather than June of 1862.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Mathias Rauls was born on 4 Dec 1817 in Trier, Rhine Province, Kingdom of Prussia; died on 30 Aug 1902 in Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried in Sep 1902 in Calvary Cemetery, Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States.

    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]


  2. 9.  Elizabeth Meyer was born about 1819 in _______, _______, Kingdom of Prussia; died before 1875 in _______, _______, Wisconsin, United States.

    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.

  3. 10.  Michael Friedrich August Köpsel was born on 1 Dec 1823 in Dannenberg, Wollin Parish, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia (son of Michael Friedrich Köpsel and Anna Maria Budahn); died on 27 Mar 1898 in Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried after 27 Mar 1898 in Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Also Known As: August Koebsel
    • Baptism: 7 Dec 1823, Dannenberg, Wollin Parish, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia
    • Emigration: Bef 23 Jul 1847, Stettin, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia
    • Immigration: 23 Jul 1847, New York City, New York, United States
    • Naturalization: 21 Nov 1855, _______, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States
    • Census: 7 Jun 1860, Town of Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States
    • Census: 16 Jul 1870, Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States
    • Census: 17 Jun 1880, Town of Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States

    Notes:

    Determining the actual date of Michael Friedrich August Köpsel’s emigration to the United States is very difficult. The only other Köpsel (Koepsel or Koebsel) family to travel from Germany to the US in the 1840’s was the family of Carl Koebsel, and that family did have a son August, but he was only 17 years of age in 1846 when they emigrated. Moreover, [US-INS-1855a] indicates that our ‘August Köpsel’ traveled in 1847 rather than 1846. Consequently, the author believes that Michael Friedrich August Köpsel did indeed emigrate in 1847 and on the same ship as his future wife, Carolina Dorothea Ulrica (“Emily”) Budahn. His entry in the ship’s manifest seems to appear on the last line of the second page

    Most Wisconsin land abstracts and deeds show this individual’s last name as “Koebsel”, and he is also listed this way on his headstone. The name “Koepsel” (sometimes “Koepsell”) seems be have been adopted by his children and is almost certainly the anglicized version of “Köpsel”.

    “Dannenberg” is a historic name for the modern Polish village of Domysłów on the island of Wolin (Polish spelling) at the edge of the Baltic Sea.

    [Rauls-1998] has death year as 1894, but this appears to be incorrect.

    [US-1880-1t1] is very difficult to read, and the family surname is particularly difficult. However August, Caroline, and Maria appear on lines 48, 49, and 50 respectively.

    The surname as listed in [US-1870-1l] appears to read “Kebsey” or “Koebsey”, but transcription errors were very common in US Federal Census records of that era. Regardless, there is no doubt that this record does refer to August Köpsel and his family. The children match almost exactly with known individuals obtained from family records.

    Michael married Carolina Dorothea Ulrica Budahn about 1851. Carolina (daughter of Christian Heinrich Budahn and Anna Maria Schulz) was born on 9 Jun 1834 in Dannenberg, Wollin Parish, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia; died on 18 Oct 1908 in Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried on 20 Oct 1908 in (unknown).

  4. 11.  Carolina Dorothea Ulrica Budahn was born on 9 Jun 1834 in Dannenberg, Wollin Parish, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia (daughter of Christian Heinrich Budahn and Anna Maria Schulz); died on 18 Oct 1908 in Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried on 20 Oct 1908 in (unknown).

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Also Known As: Caroline Emily Budahn

    • Census: 16 Jul 1870, Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States
    • Census: 17 Jun 1880, Town of Theresa, Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States

    Notes:

    Handwritten notes of Mary Adelaide Rauls notes state, “died at age 67,” but the 1850 US Federal Census for Dodge County Caroline’s age as 16.

    [US-1880-1t1] is very difficult to read, and the family surname is particularly difficult. However August, Caroline, and Maria appear on lines 48, 49, and 50 respectively.
