Klotz Family Timeline

First, a few notes. My 3rd great grandfather, Carl Klotz, has been recorded under slightly different versions of the name Charles William Klotz [Carl William Klotz, William Charles Klotz, William Carl Klotz]. For simplicity's sake, I've choosen to use "Carl Klotz". Also, my 3rd great grandmother, Henrietta Beelow's maiden name has also been recorded as Bealou. Again, I have choosen to use "Beelow" though I have no proof which version is correct.

The location of Carl and Henrietta's births and marriage is either "Großen Burg, Rheinland, Germany" or "Großbeeren, Brandenburg, Preussen". Two different locations, and I have seen them recorded as both interchangebly. I do not know which is correct.
