I believe I am a descendent of G. W. Sexmith
mentioned in:
http://www.wlhn.org/fond_du_lac/towns/alto/census/alto1847.htm
I am trying to figure out:
1) When Sexmith arrived in Wisconsin
2) Where from the East they came

1845 Miller's Mill Wisconsin Territory:
The late revival had, however, so swelled the numbers that a division became necessary. An appointment had already been established at Miller's Mill, and it was now deemed best to so divide the class as to establish the meetings of one of them at this point. The change was accordingly made. The class was formed December 12th, 1845, and George W. Sexmith was appointed Leader.
Brother Sexmith was also an old neighbor, who had come West and taken a farm in the vicinity of Miller's Mill. Under his care, the class grew rapidly, and became an efficient company of laborers. Several years after he removed to Fond du Lac, and greatly prospered in business. In 1852 I had the pleasure to present him with a Local Preacher's license. He was employed one year as Pastor of Liberty Prairie circuit, but his health proved unequal to the Itinerancy, and he was compelled to resume his relation as a Local Preacher, in which position he still holds an honored place among his brethren.
[Note: He went into the Lumbering Business in Fond du Lac]
