Suggested edit: Parents were Albert Weete (23 July 1783- 22 November 1857) and Beke Margrete Schwarting (11 September 1777- 16 March 1842)
Sophie Weete Otken (later spelled Oetken) immigrated to Texas with her husband and six living children from the village of Burstel, near Ganderkesee in the territory of Oldenburg, within the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. They departed from Bremen in October 1847 aboard the ship Helen and Elise and arrived in Galveston in December. 1850 census records place the family in Colorado County, engaged in farming. By 1860, the family was in Fayette County.
J.F. and Sophie Weete were parents of eight children. Two children died young and were no longer living when the family immigrated. These children were Eilert Diedrich Otken (29 August 1833- 19 July 1835) and Johanne Friederike Henriette Otken (1835). The family's youngest child was later given the same name as their daughter who had died in infancy.
