Ryan,
It was good of you to write in. Spelling of last names, especially those of German origin, was universally bad throughout both armies. I noticed the Koetzeltown connection to one or more companies of the local Enrolled Missouri Militia (EMM) in Osage County. I have forgotten some of our earlier writing on this topic, so forgive the question: Were your Loethen men in the 28th EMM, or one of the other local units?
Also, you mentioned Westphalia. Would you happen to know a Rothove family that lived there and in recent years lives in Jefferson City? Just curious.
