    •      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.

    •      According to Nolte family tradition, Frederick emigrated to the USA from England about 1867 or 1868 as part of an extended family group, which included his son, Carl; and the family of his son, Wilhelm (Wilhelm; wife, Maria; and the two oldest children, Heinrich Frederick and Friedericke).
           Accompanying the Nolte family was Frederick's married daughter, 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.

      Email from Byron H. Nolte to J. Mark Fiegenbaum on 4 September 2005. "Just had a phone call from Laura. She found the record and the grave of Frederick Nolte in the Zion Cemetery, Mayview. The grave stone is not readable and needs to be replaced. The cemetery committe (Mrs. Edward Dickmeyer) has the record for each grave. The record shows that Frederick was born February 22, 1807 in England, died in Mayview on December 5, 1891 and was buried in the Zion Cemetery in a single grave."
