    •      According to Nolte family tradition, Heinrich emigrated to the USA as part of an extended family group, which included his wife, Friederieke (Nolte) Rabius and his brother, Herman Rabius. Accompanying the Rabius family was Friederieke's father, Frederick Nolte; her brother, Carl Nolte; and the family of her other brother, Wilhelm Nolte (Wilhelm; wife, Maria; and their two oldest children, Heinrich Frederick and Friedericke).
           According to descendants, Heinrich and Friederieke (Nolte) Rabius emigrated from England about 1867 or 1868. Their only child, Gustav, was born at Louisville, Kentucky in May 1868 and by 1869 the family had arrived in Missouri, settling in Washington Township, Lafayette County, with addresses in Higginsville and Mayview, Missouri.

    •      We currently have no information concerning the parents of Heinrich and Herman Rabius. In 2010, Wolfgang Rabius shared with us that the family originated from the small town of Barver, in what is now the District (Landkreis) of Diepholz, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland). This would seem to be a good place to start.
