Looking for any information on the following couple and their descendants in the U.S.: Jakob Thöni (s. of Matthis Thöni (?-after 1853) & Luzia Schaleben (1792-1847)) b. 25 Sep 1820 St. Antönien, Graubünden, Switzerland imm. 11 Jul 1856 New York, New York, aboard ship "New York" from Havre, France m. 27 Apr 1845 Schuders, Graubünden, Switzerland Elsbeth Thöni (d. of Joos Thöni (1782-1844) & Anna Keßler (1789-1834)) chr. 28 Oct 1821 Schuders, Graubünden, Switzerland Children (through their arrival in the U.S.): - -------------------------------------- 1 M: Joos Thöni (Josua on passenger manifest) b. 14 Sep 1845 St. Antönien, Graubünden, Switzerland 2 M: Jacob Thöni b. 28 Nov 1847 ? Buchen, Graubünden, Switzerland 3 F: Lucia Thöni b. 5 May 1850 Luzein, Graubünden, Switzerland 4 M: Hans Thöni b. 11 Feb 1853 Luzein, Graubünden, Switzerland 5 F: Anna Thöni b. 6 Oct 1855 Luzein, Graubünden, Switzerland Jakob was the first cousin of Christina Tarnutzer's first husband, Valentin Schaleben (see below). He was not the Jakob Thoeny who served in the Civil War as a private in Company D of the 9th Wisconsin Infantry. That Jakob was much younger and unmarried. Elsbeth was a somewhat more distant cousin of Christina Tarnutzer. Jakob and Elsbeth and their children traveled together with Christina Tarnutzer, widow of Valentin Schaleben, and her younger son, Nicholas Schaleben. Christina initially settled at Honey Creek Twp., Sauk Co., Wisconsin, probably with her cousin Nicholas Tarnutzer (wife Barbara Keßler). She married Johannes Johanni, from Jenins, Graubünden, at Honey Creek on 20 September 1856 and they then moved to Linden Twp., Brown Co., Minnesota. Johannes and Christina are my g-g-grandparents. There were also Thöni (Thoeny, etc.) families in the Honey Creek area who later moved to Buffalo County and also to North Dakota, but I have not located Jakob and Elsbeth among these families.
