Summary

There were two men named Nagel in the original group of Lipper Settlers. Franz Nagel with a wife and five daughters are listed in entry number 8 the list of original Lipper Settlers.

Fritz Nagel, unmarried, is listed as entry number 5 under "Other Young Men" in the list of original Lipper Settlers. Information that was hand-written in a family Bible in possession of the grandson of Franz Nagel indicated that Franz and Fritz Nagel were brothers.

Franz Nagel was married to a woman named Wilhelmina in Lippe-Detmold. Her family name before marriage is unknown. The town in Lippe-Detmold from which they came is unknown to me. 

Reference 9 lists Franz Nagel, his wife and children as living in Langenholzhausen before traveling to Wisconsin. Franz was listed as a "Straßenkötter" (street worker). Also, reference 9 confirmed that Fritz Nagel and Franz Nagel were brothers, and they also had a third brother, Adolf.

At the time of a census which was recorded in 1860, Franz was age 52 and Wilhelmina was age 42. Thus, Franz was born in 1808 and Wilhelmina in 1818.

Franz and Wilhelmina had a total of 8 children. Five children were born in Lippe-Detmold and 3 more in the Town of Herman in Wisconsin.

Other information on this page comes from Immanuel Church records.
