First white child born in Milwaukee area
The claim in the article that Caroline, born in December 1839, "may have been the first non-Native child born in what is now the Greater Milwaukee area" is not true. Solomon Juneau and his wife Josette Vieau were married circa 1818–1819, and in 1819 settled in what would become Milwaukee. They had 15 children. Also, Milwaukee County birth registrations show 2 children born in 1836, 4 children born in 1837, 11 children born in 1838, and at least 11 children born in 1839 before December. For each of those years, births registered probably represent only a minority of actual births. — Walloon00:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No doubt that all of that is correct. The erroneous claim is probably an exaggeration of the more reasonable claim that she was the first child born to settlers in the Town of Brookfield. Since that was a 36-square-mile area at the time, it's a much weaker claim. That is the claim that appears on the historical marker at the site of her birth, a photo of which is now in this article.
