According to this source, Jurgen bought his land in Middleton in 1855. Two years later, Maria Grandt came to America with Jurgen’s nephew Carl (Charles) Goth. Their journey was financed by Jurgen’s brother who was described as a “well-to-do” farmer in Mecklenburg. Maria would marry Jurgen shortly after arriving. In 1867, Joachim (Carl’s brother) came over with his wife, son and mother (Jurgen’s sister Hanne Sophia). Thus it seems that Jurgen and Maria were married in America and also that Carl and Joachim were not cousins of Jurgen (as reported in this article) but instead nephews. It is not entirely clear who the “well-to-do farmer” was but a good guess would be Jochim Christian Goth, Jurgen’s older brother and the oldest son in the family. It is likely that he inherited the small farm that their father owned. There was also one other younger brother, Johan Jochim Friedrich Goth. Both brothers live into their 80’s and died in Mecklenburg.<br />Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585405199121767395noreply@blogger.com
