Jillian See my reply to the list in response to Karole's query. Wilhelm Friedrich (born 1830)and August Schmidt (possibly born 1848) were half-brothers, but I have no information on their possible connection to your ancestor, August Ruhl.

I am interested in information regarding Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt. Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt and August Schmidt have witnessed a Application for a Homestead document dated 2/3/1883 for my G.G. Grandfather August Frederich Ruhl. It also appears Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt and August Frederich Ruhl had neighbouring properties. I have reason to believe that Wilhelm Frederich Schmidt and August Frederich Ruhl are related and would like to follow up on this theory. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
