I am not researching this family but have picked up some info on them and wondered if you had. First I found Tekla Meierstadt and Josepha Wozniak as Piotr's wife. According to Piotr's obit in the Nashville Journal 23 March 1922 Peter Nowak was born in Poland 29 June 1835. Married 1st wife in Poland and had two children, Stanislaus (Steve) and Agnes At age 40 he immigrated to Indiana where he married 2nd wife and had 8 ch. Joe, Mary, John, Dora, Maggie, Frank, Josie and George, all married. Agnes married Wladyslaw Novak/Nowak at Radom 18 Nov. 1890). Their daughter Lottie married Joseph Mozelewski, who is in my family tree. They had several other children but I haven't sorted out which children are from Walter's first marriage to Mary Szopinski. John m. Eva Gezella and had ch. Andrew, Edward, Ann and Frances Barber. Many Washington County people did come from La Porte County, Indiana and South Bend, St. Joseph County, IND.
