Otzenberger Family of Oregon

We are searching for a connection to other Otzenberger families in the U.S. Our family originated with John Otzenberger- born 1846 - Switzerland. The 1900 U.S. Census states he came to the U.S. in 1877. We do not know which port he arrived at. We do know he lived in Nebraska and Colorado. His first wife Josephine ( according to the 1900 census -was from Bohemia) may have come to the U.S. with him. His second wife was Rosina Bronnimann -born in Switzerland. We wish to know if he had any other family in the U.S.
John died in Sterling Colorado in 1911.
Would appreciate any help in locating more family. Will share information.


In additon I am also seeking any information on Beverly C. or E. Ford- born 1805, NC. He was married to Mary Everhart-born 1811, Tenn. and lived in Hawkins and Hancock County, Tenn in their early married life. Mary died in Missouri- but do not
know what happened to him. Any info is appreciated- will also share info.
