Surnames: Molitor, Casper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2FC.2ACI/1734.1 Message Board Post: Interestingly I have a direct ancestor named Margaretha Molitor but she's in the mid 1700s in Germany. However there still may be a connection. The Molitors seemed to be one of the families that migrated together to Wisconsin with some of my other ancestor family names, such as Casper. Specifically they mostly settled in the neighboring county of Fond du Lac, in the towns of Taycheedah, Calumet, and Marshfield, which border Sheboygan County. My census images seem to be down this morning but there are the following probable Molitors in the 1860 Wisconsin census: Nicholas, age 30, Greenbush, Sheboygan Co.; Jacob, 49, Calumet, Fond du Lac; John, 48, Taycheedah, Fond du Lac; Mathias, 36, Roxbury, Dane; Mathias, 56, Holland town, Sheboygan Co.; Nicholas, 46, Granville, Milwaukee; and Philip, 51, Kaukauna, Outagamie.

I am not a relative but there is/was a Monitor family in the Western area of Taylor County (Medford). I would assume from a branch of those that you have mentioned when Taylor became a county and farm land in other parts of the state became a premium.
