I am searching for any information on Martin LUETSCHER I of Graubuenden Canton, Switzerland and Elizabeth (possible maiden name: WILHELM). Elizabeth emigrated to Sauk County, Wisconsin, with her son, Martin LUETSCHER II, and his four sisters, Elisabeth, Annie, Mary, and Verona LUETSCHER, in 1848 (probably through New York City). Martin Luetscher married Felizita HARTMANN (born 18 December 1832 at Davos, Switzerland) on 2 July 1856 in Sauk county, Wisconsin at the Honey Creek Church. Elizabeth died at Sauk county Wisconsin 1 August 1880. Felizita Hartmann Luetscher died at Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin 26 April 1901. Martin Luetscher II died at Sauk City, Wisconsin 2 November 1896. I am seeking the location of the home town in Switzerland of Martin Luetscher I and Elizabeth Luetscher, from which they emigrated. Also any family history from Davos, Switzerland on the parents and relatives of Felizita Hartmann Luetscher.
