Notes:

In the church records for the death of Johann Ludwig Thomæ it lists his survivors. It lists his two sons Lorenz and Lorenz; five daughters Anna Margaretha, Barbara, Margaretha Barbara, and Dorothea. It the church records it lists a Lorenz Thomæ Sr. and a Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. While I have always thought this to be a father son relationship, it is not. Instead it refers to the two Lorenzs in the same family.

But then I noticed that, in 1853 and 1854, the Regierungs- und Intelligenzblatt für das Herzogthum Coburg [Admininstrative and Intelligence Bulletin for the Duchy of Coburg] was running announcements about the people who were leaving Sonnefeld, Frohnlach and Ebersdorf for "Nordamerika". On Issue No. 66, Saturday, 19 August 1854, it mentioned two of your ancestors, side by side, on the same page. I've attached for you the copy of the top halves of the two pages in the original German. Here is the English translation of the following announcements:

Emigration of Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten toNorth America.

Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against her should be made known immediately.

Sonnefeld, 14 August 1854.
Ducal Office of Justice of Saxe-Coburg
R. Rose.

Emigration of the Potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten to NorthAmerica.

The potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against him should be made known immediately.

Sonnefeld, 14 August 1854.
Ducal Office of Justice of Saxe-Coburg
R. Rose.

In 1778 Johann Paul Thomæ was living in House 51a in Hofstädten. In 1811 after the death of Johann Paul it came into the possession of Johann Ernst Thomæ and his wife Sabine. After the death of Maria Savina nee’ Bechmann Thomæ in into the possession of Johann Ludwig Thomæ. And Barbara Thomæ was awarded the Brennhaus. In 1835 Johann Ludwig came into possession of both House 51a and 51b. In 1852 the house came into the possession of Lorenz Thomæ, Sr. and in 1844 passed into the house of Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. Finally in 1854 it came into the possession of Ludwig Thomæ, Sr. (the father of the potter). Then in 1855 in passed to Margaretha Thomæ and her brothers and sisters. So I come to the conclusion that Lorenz Thoma immigrated to America after the death of this father in 1854.

Birth:
House 51a

Died:
11th Street

LORENZ married Walther, Margarethe Barbara in 1848 in Sonnefeld - Hofstädten, Coburg, Bayern, Germany.

From the Aug 2, 1886 issue of the Sentential:

E. Wald - Burlington, Wisconsin. Property sold to H. Miller by Sheriff

The Wisconsin newspapers note that his wife died in Missouri in December of 1863. On or about 19 Jul 1877 he was involved in a serious accident in Burlington. His funeral was held at St John's Lutheran Church in Burlington

From the Burlington Standard

Christian Emanuel Frederick Wald, was born Nov. 25th, 1795 in Prussia, Germany, emigrated to America and Burlington until 1859, when he went with his family to Boonville, Missouri. When the late rebellion began, two of his sons Herman and Adolph joined the Union Army. There his wife died in Dec. 1863, after being an invalid for nine years. He then left the state and went back to Wisconsin, and has lived in and around Burlington with his children. Being a school teacher in Prussia for twenty-seven years he could not do otherwise here than teach the children of his family and those of his friends, until sickness compelled him to give it up, and did not complain until the two last days. He would complain of feeling cold, andf or that reason kept close to the stove, and went one hour and one half until death relieved him. He leaves 13 children, of which but three were present at his funeral. He died at the residence of his son, Herman.

In 1870 he was living with his daughter Augusta nee’ Wald Schmidt in Salem, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
