Notes
a. Note:   RFN172 BIOGRAPHY NOTE: According to census, land and courthouse records, John C. Willemssen was also known as Jon C. Wilhelms. He had seven or eight brothers and sisters. John emigrated to America as a single man in 1853 and settled in Brookville Twp., Ogle Co., Illinois near Forreston, where he met Peterke, which translated in American would be Pearl. Peterke Muntinga came to America in 1853 with her brother, William, and settled at Ogle Co., Illinois. She married John in 1853 and remained in Illinois until 1863 when they moved to Iowa. They first settled in Etna Twp., Hardin Co. near Ackley, then moved to
 Shiloh Twp., Grundy Co., near Wellsburg. It is not known whether John and Peterke were acquainted in Germany, but the towns of Oldersum and Rorichum are only a short distance apart on a map in the Ostfriesland area. John K. Brouwer (or Brower) was also born in East Friesland in 1824. He came to America in 1863 with his wife and family. His wife, Brechje, died in Grundy County, Iowa. He and Peterke had two more sons who later lived in Campbell, Minnesota. INFORMATION SOURCES - Beving Family Records and the Family History of Rev. Jackson E. Smith
