Second Generation

2. Heinrich Friedrich Ludwig "Fred" KUCKUCK was born on 16 February 1812 in Hanover, Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) Province, Preussen (Prussia).^2,3,4,5 (The 1860 and 1870 Census' listed his birth place as Hanover; in 1880 it was listed as Prussia.) He emigrated about 1857 from Preussen (Prussia).³

. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Germantown Township, Juneau County, WI.³ His household consisted of Fred, age 48, occupation "farmer," born in Hanover; his wife Wilhelmina, age 35, born in Hanover; their children Augustus, age 12; Henry, age 8; and Wilhelmina, age 5, all born in Hanover; and Caroline, age 2,and Dora, age 1, born in Wisconsin.

There were also two other people: Fred, "Laborer," age 24; and Hannah, age 16, both born in Hanover. Neither appears with the family in later Census records. The younger Fred would have been too old to be a son of Wilhelmina, so it is possible that he may have been a son from a previous marriage of Fred, Sr, who married Wilhelmina when he was 35. Hannah may have been the wife of Fred, Jr. or another daughter of Fred, Sr. from a first marriage.
