Rixton, Reichtensteiner
I have the naturalization papers for Joseph Rixton, born in 1821 in Switzerland and settling in Sullian County, NY.It lists his original name as Joseph Reichtensteiner.I cannot find out anything about a Reichtensteiner family in Switzerland.Sounds more German to me, so might be from the border.He emmigrated to the US in 1848.I know about his family in NY, but know nothing about his family in Switzerland.Any assistance is greatly appreciated.Thank-you.
