I am a descendent of the Widmayer that came from Wurttemburg and Bayern Germany in about 1825.I can not remember the husband name(he was a baker) but the wife's name was Johanna(if my memory serves me right) But I would suggest that you do a search in the NY Times archive files
on the name Widmayer. The family was very wealth and their was a court case about 1895 where the sons George and Henry? were being sued by their elderly mother (or vice versa). In the articles you will get more information.
