Lorri, I had the idea that William had a sister Katerina, but somewhere I saw her last name as Koetter which would pronounce much the same. My GG Grandfather William was born in 1822 in Osnabruck. He married Anna Marie Ahring (or Ahreng). I belive she died at birth of Louis Napoleon Ketter 1846. Around 1850 william brought Louis to Mrs William Marting. Napoleon eventually owned a brick company in Mexico, Mo where there are still living relatives.
William married and had three sons here in the US Ernest (my g grandfather), Frederick and William.
It sounds like there is a match here. I will do some digging and get back to you. I have quite a bit of the family tree from 1850 on.
