About Johann "John" Gottlieb Naumann
Johann Gottlieb Naumann was born 24 July 1811 in Seydewitz, Saxony, Germany. In 1806 Napoleon conquered both the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Prussia and would not be defeated until 1815, after which northern Saxony became a province of the Kingdom of Prussia, and the rest of Saxony became the Kingdom of Saxony. It was during this period that Johann was born in Seydewitz, a village that became part of the Prussian Province of Saxony in 1815 when he was about 4 years old.
We do not know where exactly Johann Gottlieb Naumann and Johanne Rosine Scheibe were married on 9 February, 1834, but it may have been in Sitzenroda, where from 1836 to 1848 they had seven children. In 1855 the family emigrated to America, settling in Wisconsin.
A family story, shared on www.ancestry.com, which was handed down through the descendants of daughter Amelia, states:
"Johan G. Naumann and his family emigrated from Germany sometime between 1854-1856, when Amelia was about ten or eleven years old. The family home was in the village of Zizeurhode/Sitzenrode, near the city of Torgau in Prussian Saxony.
Johan, referred to as Frederick in one source, was a cooper by trade. There was a family tradition that since beer and liquor were his principle patrons, that he in turn became a too steady patron of alcoholic indulgence. He never drank habitually in this country. The family home was sold to pay passage. The sailing ship on which they crossed the ocean had been condemned by the U.S. inspection service for passenger service. Because of this, they landed in Quebec. Amelia told the story that a whale followed their ship until one day it was dropped a red hot cannon ball instead of the garbage it was expecting. Amelia told that her eldest brother was sent ahead to spy the land. They never heard from him again. She believed that he was ill with tuberculosis.
The family landed in Milwaukee when it came to America."
During the American Civil War two of Johann's sons ended up in the army, serving together in the 9th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. Both boys returned from the war and soon married.
In 1868 Johann's first wife, Johanne Rosine, passed away. In Monroe County, Wisconsin on June 4, 1874, Johann remarried. His bride was Anne Marie Haessig, who was born in Germany in 1807 and outlived Johann by two months, passing away in 1891 in Leon, Monroe County, Wisconsin, USA. The marriage document for this marriage contains the information that Johann was born in Seydewitz (24 kilometers east of Sitzenroda) to Johann G. and Rosena Naumann.
Johann passed away in Minnesota in 1891 while visiting his eldest daughter.

Research Notes
The German records for this family are not yet online. However, an employee at the Landeskirchenarchiv in Magdeburg has informed me that the churchbooks for Sitzenroda have been microfilmed and are viewable in the archives. The Magdeburg archive has churchbooks for Sitzenroda all the way back until 1638. Eventually they will probably make their way online at www.archion.de. The Magdeburg site says Sitzenroda's records (births of Johann's children and possibly marriage) are found in church district Torgau-Dielitzsch. As for records for Seydewitz (Johann's birth and parents), refer to the churchbooks for Schirmentiz and Staritz in church district Torgau-Dielitzsch.
