After doing a little searching, found that Gottlieb’s birth year is actually 1848, per headstone. Check the Sheboygan County Marriage records online their marriage date listed above is correct. According to the information provided in the obituary Gottlieb came to America with his family at the age of four years. So that would put it about 1852; that is if this information is correct. – No connection with this family line, but making notes for others.
