My ancester, Johann William Dickhut arrived in Adams County in 1843 via New Orleans. He only lived three years, so has been VERY difficuly to find information on. Records of his sons and wife, Anna Elizabeth Mohrstedt show them coming from the same town as Christian G and Christoph Wilhelm Dickhut. John William (shown on his passenger list as Johan Fredr.) was born in 1796, so would be a little older than the other two. Christian Gottlieb Dickhut was living in the home of William Dickhut, son of Johan William, on the 1870 census, and William testified at the probate of Christian Gottlieb's will (I have a copy). Also my gggrandfather, Gottlieb Dickhut, is shown as Christian Gottlieb on the passenger list. Do you know anything of the family of Christian Gottlieb and Christoph in Germany that might show any connection? I keep changing my email, but it never seems to change, but it is wmilford2@comcast.net. Thanks for any help you can give. Susan Milford
