Nolte, Carl Friedrich Wilhelm

Other Events:

• Immigration: Abt 1867–1868, USA

Notes:

Birth:
The exact date of Carl's birth, 1832 or 1833, is not yet known.

Immigration:

     According to Nolte family tradition, Carl emigrated to the USA from England about 1867 or 1868 as part of an extended family group, which included his father, Frederick; and the family of his brother, Wilhelm (Wilhelm; wife, Maria; and the two oldest children, Heinrich Frederick and Friedericke).
     Accompanying the Nolte family was Carl's married sister, Dorothea Friederike Henriette (Nolte) Rabius, her husband, Heinrich Rabius, and her brother in law, Herman Rabius.
     It would appear that Heinrich and Friederieke (Nolte) Rabius stopped at Louisville, Kentucky in May 1868 for the birth of their son (and only child), Gustav H. Rabius. By 1869 the family had arrived in Lafayette County, Missouri.
     It is not known whether all of this extended family stopped in Louisville, or if some members traveled directly to Missouri and arrived before 1869.


Buried:
Charles is buried in the Zion Church Cemetery in Mayview, Missouri. His gravestone identifies him as "Uncle Charley."

Birth:

     A history of Lafayette County Missouri published in 1910 stated: "Gustave H. Rabius was born in Louisville, Kentucky, May 31, 1868, the son of Henry and Frederica Rabius [i.e., Heinrich Rabius (1838-1904) and Friederieke Nolte (1842-1905)], who came to the United States from England in 1867, but were natives of Germany. One of his mother's grandfather's was a colonel in the English army, the other a surgeon in the same army, and both served in the French and English wars. His mother's maiden name was Nolte, derived from the Hessian nobility. His father [i.e., Heinrich Rabius] was a shoemaker and saddler as a young man, later a sugar refiner in England, but in Missouri a farmer. His parents came to Lexington, Missouri, in 1869, coming by boat."
     Family researchers have not yet been able to confirm that Frederick Nolte was born in England, or to explain why his birth might have taken place there instead of in Hannover, where the family seems to have its roots. Indeed, research from Germany indicates that Friedrich was from Barver, in the Kingdom of Hannover, and that his daughter, Dorothea Friederike Henriette Nolte, was born there in 1842.
     It is not clear why the author of the 1910 biographical sketch wrote that the Nolte surname "derived from the Hessian nobility."
     It is suspected that Frederick's father may have served in the Hanoverian army and that, because of the connection between the royal houses of Hannover and England, he was at one time stationed in England for military service. This fanciful explanation has not yet been tested by any research.
