In the spring of 1870, John Henry Te Selle (Jan Hendrik te Selle -1838-1921) move to Nebraska from Wisconsin. Herman John Te Selle (Harmen Jan te Selle – 1844-1919) came the following year. The 1870 Nebraska Census of Lancaster County includes John Henry Te Selle and his family. In the subsequent census records for 1880, 1885, and 1900 there is clearly a growing population of Te Selle family members in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
