| Abstract | Among the first Dobberpuhls (sometimes also spelled “Dobberphul”) to emigrate to Wisconsin were Carl Christian Friedrich (1784–1848) and his wife Caroline Friederike (Klug) (1798–1875) and their children, who settled in what is today Cedarburg in 1843. The early settlers in this area were Old Lutherans, believers who had rejected the Prussian Union of 1817, a merger of Lutheran and Reformed churches in Prussia that was decreed by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. |
