I am doing research on my g-g-grandfather, William J. Nolta (aka Nolte). I am trying to find out any facts prior to citizenship, such as city of birth, parents or sibling's names, method of immigration, etc. Here is the info I have on old William:

Middle name: Probably Joseph, but possibly James
First name:  William (or maybe Wilem)
DOB: July 1, 1821
Place of birth: Prussia
Came to America around 1838 (possibly spent some time in Iowa)
Came to Oregon around 1852 and settled on a donation land claim near Oakland
Filed for Citizenship Nov 1, 1861 in Douglas County, Oregon
Purchased land Nov 1, 1861 in Douglas County, Oregon
Married March 28, 1870 to Nancy Jane Rice in Douglas County, Oregon
