The Witticus Family

The Witticus Family

Georg Witticus and Anna Kathrina Hausam were married in Germany. Two of their known children emigrated to America, Anna Maria Witticus and Johann Jacob Widicus. Anna married Andreas Langenwalter, while her brother Johann married Maria Catharina Kreiselmaier. Both children are buried in their respective family cemeteries, i.e., Anna is buried in the Langenwalter cemetery, while Johann is buried in the Widicus cemetery, both located within Jarvis township, Madison, IL.

A number of their descendants continue to live in the St. Clair and Madison counties area.

The surname of Widicus is quite rare in America, being limited to descendants of Georg Witticus. A database of all of Georg's descendants is being maintained by the author of this page, and anyone descended from Georg is urged to write to Jim Bridges.
