Sixth Generation

62. Wilhelm Ludwig KUTHLOW (*) was born in 1800 in Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). (His given name is listed as Gottfried on FamilySearch.org and it is listed as Martin in the death record of his daughter Gustine.)

Prussia was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866, and from 1848 until 1849 it was part of the short-lived German Empire. After the Prussian-Austrian War, it became the leading member state of the North German Confederation in 1867. It was a leading force in the creation of the German Empire in 1871, of which it became a state.

Today, the former Prussia is part of the Federal Republic of Germany, with significant parts of its territory located in Poland and small pieces of territory incorporated into Lithuania, Russia and the Czech Republic. He has Ancestral File Number LRXL-5Z7. Christina SCHUTT (*) and Wilhelm Ludwig KUTHLOW (*) were married.

63. Christina SCHUTT (*) was born in 1800 in Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). She has Ancestral File Number LRXL-RCJ.

Children were:

	i.	Wilhelmine KUTHLOW was born in 1822 in Szamocin, Kreis Kolmar, Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). (She may have been born and died in Sypniewo.) She died in 1852 at the age of 30 in Szamocin, Kreis Kolmar, Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). (She may have died at the birth of her son Ernst.)
	ii.	Friedrich Wilhelm Johann Gottlieb "Fred" KUTHLOW Sr. was born in 1824 in Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). The identity of Friedrich Wilhelm "Fred" as a son in this family is uncertain. Friedrich "Fred" Kuthlow, b. 9 Jan 1849, (Friedrich Wilhelm's son) is thought to have been an orphan. But he listed his father's name as "Fred Kuthlow" in the records at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Ridgeville, and placed his father in this family. Della Kuthlow Kortbein's research indicates that this "Fredrick Kuthlow" was a son of Wilhelm Ludwig and Christina (Schutt) Kuthlow, but she is not certain. His parentage must be confirmed.
31	iii.	Gustine Auguste "Anna" KUTHLOW (*).
	iv.	Ludwig Wilhelm KUTHLOW was born on 22 September 1833 in Waldberg, Kreis Kolmar, Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). He was christened on 29 September 1833 in Margonin, Kreis Kolmar, Posen Province, Preussen (Prussia). He emigrated on 10 October 1856 from Treptow, Kreis Saatzig, Pommern (Pomerania) Province, Preussen (Prussia). Treptow was a small farm village sixty miles northeast of Stettin (now called Szczecin), the capital of Pommern, and eight miles south of the Pommern Bay on the Baltic Sea. The province of Pommern was at that time part of the Prussian Empire, under Frederick Wilhelm III of the House of Hohenzollern. They landed at Keasel Garden, NY, on 1 December 1856. Ludwig was Lutheran in 1862 in Ridgeville Township, Monroe County, WI. He was listed as member number 20 of the first 100 members in the church records of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. (He and his family could not be located in the 1860 or 1870 Census in Wisconsin.) He died on 14 May 1877 at the age of 43 in Wilton Township, Monroe County, WI. of inflammation of the bowel (appendicitis). (The church record of his death lists his place of death as Ridgeville.) He was buried on 16 May 1877 in Ridgeville Township, Monroe County, WI. in the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery.
