Knuth
This William Knuth Family was the 1st Fully American Generation of Immigrant Stock
Decedents of Immigrants Carl Knuth and Wilhelmine Lambrecht from Germany / Poland / Prussia / Scandinavia. The family grew up in Bears Grass Wisconsin near Augusta and Fall Creek Wisconsin
Descendants with this Knuth sir name are not wide spread in America. The preferred family pronunciation of Knuth is with two syllables as 'ka nooth' ('ca newth') or 'ka noot' ('ca newt'). The name is of Germanic / Scandinavian / Norse origin and a variation is Knutson (ka noot sun). To pronounce Knuth as one syllable with a silent 'K' as 'nooth' ('newth') or 'noot' identifies you as a stranger; not of Northern Wisconsin origin.

New: An American Civil War Diary by 'Ole Kittelson Leigram' b. 1839. Kittleson and Carl Knuth both served in the same unit in the American Civil War. It is not known if they were acquaintances but one would assume that they may have encountered each other. Ole was of Norwegian descent with Carl Knuth was of German descent. Both were immigrants in an English speaking Army. Both would have experienced the same events and agonies in the American Civil War. Kittleson served in the 15th Infantry (primarily Norwegian speaking) and Carl Knuth in the 45th Infantry (primarily German speaking). Both were mustered-in in Rio Wisconsin in 1862.
