His parents, who remained in Germany, were Carl Fredrich Schwartz (same name) and Marie Elizabeth Boest. He also left behind one brother and one sister. When he was a child his parents lived at Reichenfeld where he was raised. Later as a young man he found work in Hanseberg where he lived until 1851 when he immigrated to America. At this time in Europe there were poor harvests, famine, political conflicts, and revolutions. We do not know if Carl and Caroline Werbelow were acquainted in Germany or met later in America, but found each other they did and were married on July 12, 1855 in Watertown, Wisconsin by Judge Roete. For their wedding trip they walked from Watertown to Juneau, 12 miles. They lived at Hustosfort, Wisconsin until the spring of 1862. They moved their family, two girls, to Fairbolt County, Minnesota, in August that same year were compelled to flee because of an uprising of the warring Sioux Indians. After many grief hardships they arrived back in Wisconsin in October (this is during the time of the Civil War). They then lived as renters on a farm until 1865. In 1865 Nebraska opened to settlers and land could be acquired as homesteads. Carl Fredrich Schwartz and Caroline Werbelow set out for Nebraska, with oxen and wagon. Caroline walked all the way, as she was pregnant and the wagon had no springs. They spent the winter in Rock Creek in Cuming County, Nebraska. In spring 1866 they homesteaded 160 acres of land four miles southeast from the place where Stanton, Nebraska is now situated. Here they established their home; this land bordered the Elkhorn River. They were fortunate that there was wood for fuel as well as for constructing buildings from the trees along the river. The land had very rich soil. They lived several months in a covered wagon. It was here that their son William Tobias was born on June 13, 1866. It is said he was the first white child born who was registered in Stanton County. William had four sisters and one brother. Children: Wilhelmine Carolina Schwartz 1856–1930 Marie Elizabeth Schwartz 1859–1934 Augusta Sophia Schwartz 1861–1940 Caroline Henriette Schwartz 1864–1927 Wilhelm Tobias "William" Schwartz 1866 Carl Johann Heinrich "Henry" Schwartz 1869–1969 Back in time abt 1830 Königsberg belonged to the Province of Brandenburg in the Kingdom of Prussia. Since WWII the Neumark - and Königsberg in der Neumark- belongs to Poland. (The two other Königsberg in Brandenburg of today are totaly, completely other Cities and had nothing to do with the Neumark) FAG has not all Cities or Counties listed, therefore it ends by Zachodniopomorskie Königsberg in der Neumark = Chojna Zachodniopomorskie (West-Pommern) long version: Königsberg in der Neumark = Chojna, Powiat Gryfinski, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland (Reichenfelde = a township near by Chojna) Take a look at - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chojna and http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/K%C3%B6nigsberg_in_der_Neumark - there ares better explanation than I can give in my small english. The township Radolf does not exists, maybe it was a mispelling - http://neumark.genealogy.net/ortlistr.htm - Many greetings from Germany Susan
