Catherina (Katie) POTT was born on 2 March 1853 in Lipperscheid, Luxembourg. She was the daughter of Jean POTT and Susanne BIEVER of Michelau, Luxembourg. Katie and her brother, Nicholas POTT immigrated to the United States. We have not found the ship or immigration records at Castle Gardens or in Filby’s Germans to America. We think they arrived about 1871. They settled in Aurora, Illinois a Luxembourger community. Nicholas POTT was born 30 AUG 1857 in Flebour, Michelau, Luxemburg. He was married to Annie (Klein) WILLIAMSON b: 1862 in Aurora, Kane, Illinois on 11 April 1883. Nicholas POTT and his family later moved to Iowa.

Mathias LINDEN was born 27 March 1854 in Waldbillig, Luxembourg, the youngest child of Maria Margaretha WAGENER and Theodor Dietrich LINDEN. He immigrated to the United States in 1871 at the age of 14 with his father, Theodor Dietrich LINDEN and his brother, Pierre Peter LINDEN on the ship R.M.S. Abyssinia which left Liverpool July 17th . The ship manifest shows their departure as Denmark. They left Luxembourg to Liverpool and then on to the US.
