• Notes

  William Lendt was born in 1803 and was married to Dorothy, sister to the sister of Wilhelmine Blum. The Naturalization papers of Wm. Lendt tell us that he filed for citizenship in Brown County, Wisconsin, was born in Denmark in 1803, that he emigrated to the United States and landed at the port of New York on or about the month of July in the year 1847. He stated his desire to become a citizen of the United States and renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever and particularly to Christian Rex, King of Denmark, whereof he is a subject. Subscribed and sworn to the 23rd day of August A.D. 1847 signed William Lendt. In 1854 William Lendt purchased the SE1/4 of NW1/4 Township of Gibson from Mary and T.M. Sprague. Those present were Boy Sonksen and Fred Ulrich. LENDT: Wm. (article in Der Nord Westen, 2 Dec. 1880, about Golden Anniversary. Also they are the parents of Mrs. Boy Songsen)
