Notes for Peter Holtzen: The German records of St. Ambrosius Kirche in Kirchetimke, Saxony use the spelling "Holsten" until the clan began to immigrate to North America. In some instances the same person is listed under both spellings so we can be certain that it is the same family.
Peter may have had a country store at Lake Creek and was possibly one of the early county judges of Benton Co.
