Ahnentafel #166 - (--?--) Nothen

(--?--) Nothen

Nothen comes from a biographical sketch of Patrick Williamson in the History of Jefferson County, Illinois.  Patrick is the grandson of this guy.
Patrick Williamson, farmer, PO Belle Rive, was born August 14, 1829, in Wayne County, Ill.  His father Henry Williamson was born in North Carolina, but died in this county, a true type of our old pioneers. The mother of our subject Nancy (Nothen) Williamson was the mother of nine children.
The main problem with the name Nothen is that I can't find it.  How mangled did the name get before being published in that county history?  Patrick's middle name was Nolan.  Was his mother's maiden name really Nolan?

Was the name Northeren or Northern?
