• Name	Goetzman, Anton  [1]
  Birth	12 Jun 1821	Oberndorf, Baden, Germany   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Family History Researcher	According to a biography of son-in-law, David Gibson, Anton first liv ed in West Bend, Washington County, WI, where he worked as a locksmith bef ore moving to the Town of Scott (Scott Township ?), Brown County. In filing his Petition of Intention to Become a Citizen of the United Stat es (July 6, 1846), he renounced his allegiance to Leopold, Grand Duke of B adin, Germany. This petition was filed in the territory of Wisconsin, Coun ty of Milwaukee. Later, witnesses for his citizenship petition were Jac ob Miller and Charles Breuninger, German immigrants, also. The first item in Anton's probate file is an inventory dated October 11, 1 870. All of his personal property is listed with the value of each item se t. The inventory includes a notation that the personal property is subje ct to dower rights of the widow (Crisentia). Anton's son-in-law Christi an Woelz was the guardian of the minor children. Most of the personal prop erty including livestock was sold at public auction of October 27, 1870. An accounting on December 1, 1870 showing how the proceeds of the aucti on were paid, indicates the farm was leased to someone at that time. A rec eipt from Crescentia for Christian Woelz dated October 7, 1871, is in t he file. It appears from this receipt that Christian was renting the far m. It appears he was paid the sum of $5.80 for the care of the six minor h eirs of Anton, including Lena. In February, 1873, Christian petitioned t he court to sell the fram and use the proceeeds to care for the minor chil dren. Also stated is "better investment of the proceeds of the sale." It w ould appear Christian thought there would be a better return on the mon ey by selling the farm rather than continuing to rent it. The three parce ls of real estate that Anton had owned were sold at auction to two buye rs who paid $3005 in total. Have pedigree chart from Gary citing many sources. Also have Land Grant in fo.

  Anton and Barbara were married by Father Michael Beitter who had been ordained just a few months earlier in Milwaukee. While the marriage was record ed as in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Milwaukee, there is little doubt t he ceremony was actually in St. Lawrence. St. Lawence's Catholic Church w as just two sections away from Anton's property in the town of Additson, Washington Co. This church was served by Father Michael Heiss and his assis tand Father Michael Bietter from Milwaukee. Today, St. Lawrence is on ly a small crossroads in Washington County.
