Die Eltern waren Herr Christoph Thomæ, anfangs Cantor, hernach Subdiaconus und endlich Archidiaconus daselbst, so 1634 im Herrn seelig entschlaffen, und Frau Catharina, eine gebohrne Hartmdnnin. Er frequentirte unter den damahligen Kriegs=Troublen anfangs die Schule daselbst, und gieng zugleich seinem Stieff=Vater Johann Möringen, sowohl in seinem Kirchner=Amt, als Becker Handwerck an die Hand, biß er sich 1646. auf das Hochfürstl.

Rothen de Sorite, und promovirte den 21. April 1655. in Baccalaureum. Als er nach seiner Anheimkunfft sich eine geraume Zeit in dem vornehmen Carpzovischen Hauß aufgehalten, und die altesten Söhne informiret hatte, bekam er 1663. eine Vocation zur Pfarr Wiesenfeld, 1668. zur Pfarr Neuhauß, und endlich 1678. Zur Adjunctur Sonnenfeld, allhier starb er den 22. Julii 1706 im 77. Jahr seines Alters, recht Lebensfatt, an einem Schlagfluß, und wurde in die Closter=Kirche versendet. Ein mehrers von demselben findet der geneigte Leser in dem von mir nach seinem Tod ihm verfertigten Ehren=Gedächtniß. Von ihm find zum Druck kommen: The English translation: Stephen Thomæ, my blessed father, [first] saw the daylight in Hildburghausen on St Bartholomew's Day [24 August] 1629. The parents were Mr. Christopher Thomæ, in the beginning Cantor of this place, and at the end Subdeacon and afterwards Archdeacon [also] of this place, who in 1634 fell into blessed sleep in the LORD, and wife Catharina, born Hartmannin. He frequented under the late military troubles the school of this place in the beginning, and went at the same time to his stepfather Johann Möringen in his office as a Kirchner [church's administrative assistant], as well as to the baker’s shop, working by the hand, until he in 1646 went to Coburg for the Great Princely Gymnasium, and passed the time at that place at the dorms [Convictorio] and in the classrooms [famulatur] in misery. Finally he went to Leipzig, apprenticed 1652 under Mr. M. Rothen de Sorite, and received his baccalaurate on 21 April 1655. As he informed the oldest sons, he was after his homecoming employed for a long time by the distinguished House of Carpzov and [then] received the call 1663 as the pastor of Wiesenfeld, (15 Jul) 1668 as the pastor of Neuhauß, and finally 1678 as the adjutant of Sonnefeld, where he died on 22 July 1706 in the 77th Year of his age, still full of life, of a palsy, and was buried at the Klosterkirche. Also at the same place, the gentle reader will find that, after his death, I made the memorial in his honor. Of him it is here in print: [Actually, Christian listed three people who were buried with his father.] From: Beyträge zur Erläterung der Hochfürstlichen Sachsen-Hildburghausen Kirchen=Schul=Landes=Historie, Vierter Theil, von der Stadt und Dioeces Königsberg, Sonnenfeld, Behringen und Schalckau, [Contributions to the Explanation of the Church, School and Country History of Great Princely Saxe-Hildburghausen, Part 4, of the Cities and Dioceses of Königsberg, Sonnefeld, Behringen and Schalckau], by Johann Werner Krauß (Hildburghausen, Saxe-Hildburghausen: Johann Gottfried Hanisch, 1754), pages 359-360, in the "Sonnenfeld" chapter: Stephen Thomä, was the 14th Evangelical pastor of Sonnefeld, and he also succeeded the late Johann Lorenz Hoffman (who had died in 1677 at the ripe old age of 46) as the Adjunctus of the same town.

His memorial tablet had this inscription: “Here rests, weakened by old age and exhausted by [so] much work, the bones of a faithful Servant of GOD, namely Mr Stephen Thomæ from Hildburghausen well-trained theologian and well-deserved Adjunctus of this place [Sonnefeld]. This man of GOD’s fruits, loyal officer, and pastor's pastor, GOD rewarded [his] virtues with three crowns, two he wore in this mortality, with the third he shines now in eternity, after he had lived [for] 77 [years], led in Weisenfeld 5 [years], Neuhaus 10 [years], Sonnefeld 28 [years], altogether 43 [years], and been in the marriage for 41 years.

| 2652 | From the 06 July 1906 issue of the Boonville Weekly Advertiser: Last Friday evening about seven o'clock, 7 miles west of Boonville, Casper Langlotz an old and respected farmer shot and almost instantly killed his son-in-law Claude Zeigle a young man of about 23 years. Zeigle's wife who is a daughter of Langlotz left her home on Friday and went to her father's leaving a note for her husband bearing the information that she had left him for good. When Zeigle came home in the evening he found the note and at once proceeded to the home of his father-in-law. What followed on his arrival there is given in the testimony of Langlotz, his wife and daughter, who testified before Coroner Russell's jury which was summoned to investigate the killing, and in substance is about as follows: My daughter Mary, Zeigle's wife, came to my house yesterday morning about 8 o'clock saying she could stand his abuse no longer and had taken him at his word and left him. I told her that she and my younger children must go back and get her clothes, but leave the furniture. The two children went and she followed later, returning about 11 o'clock. She left a note on the table telling him she had taken him at his word and left him. Last night about dusk I saw him coming across the field toward my place walking fast. When he got to the gate he said: "Is Mary here?" My wife said: "You have beaten her enough; don't come in the house." I went in the house and my wife ran in and closed the door and held it. As he came to the door and pushed it open my wife said several times: "Get the gun, get the gun." By the time he had jerked the door open and had got into the hall I had the gun and was standing in the door leading from the hall to the sitting room. My wife was beside him. When I shot him was about three feet away from him . I shot but once. I shot him because he told his wife that he had brought a six shooter and was going to kill her and all the family. I thought he was there for that purpose. After he was shot he said "I am shot, I am gone, I want to see Mary." Those were his last words. I once more told him to get out because I did not know if he was badly hurt or had anything to shoot with. He walked outside, falling about six feet from the door and died in about two minutes. When I saw that he was passing away I sent for some water and whisky, but they were of no avail. Mrs. Langlotz' testimony was similar to that of her husband. Mrs. Zeigle, the wife of the man who was killed testified that he had abused and mistreated her, that he said he wanted to get rid of her and threatened to shoot her and the whole family. The jury returned the following verdict: We the jury, empaneled to investigate the death of Claude Zeigle, do declare that he came to his death by a .38 caliber bullet which entered his neck, the bullet fired by Casper Langlotz when he, Zeigle was forcing an entrance to Langlotz's house William L. Brickner, Foreman, J. R. Miller, Charles Fray, G. A. Brownfield, William Johnmeyer, E. Brownfield The deceased was a son of Henry Zeigle one of Cooper county's best citizens and he belonged to one of the best families in the state, though he himself had always been considered a little wild and reckless. He was unarmed when killed. They have been married about four years and have one child about 3 years of age. No information had been filed against Langlotz and he has not been arrested though he came to Boonville and offered to surrender himself to the authorities. The funeral which was preached by Rev. W. A. McClanahan at the Methodist church in Boonville Monday at 11 a.m. was largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased. The remains were buried at Walnut Grove Cemetery. | Zeigel, Claude Robert (I20377)

| 2653 | From the 1883 History of Howard and Cooper Counties JOHN B. SPADY, farmer, section 12. In 1849 Frank J. Spady and wife, formerly Miss Catherine Keller, emigrated with their family from Alsace, FRANCE (now Germany), of which province both were natives, and after stopping in Kentucky a short time came to Missouri and settled on the farm where they now live, in Saline township, of this county. Here their family of six children, including John B. the subject of this sketch, grew up, and all but two who had died from the effects of a stroke of lightning, received in 1857, have since married and have families of their own. The father is about seventy-three years of age and the mother seventy-one, yet they are in comparatively good health and have the promise of still more advanced leases of life. John B. was born in the Land of Vines, November 27, 1848, and was therefore but one year old when his parents immigrated to this country. His whole life thus far has been spent on the farm, having been reared to an agricultural life, which he adopted permanently after arriving at the age of majority. February 22, 1870, he was married to Miss Mary, daughter of Conrad Cash, of Pilot Grove, and four children have blessed their union: Frank, John, Anna and Clara. During the late war Mr. Spady was a member of the Missouri state militia, under Captain Shoemaker, and was captured while General Price was at Boonville, but was released on account of being under military age, and rejoined his company immediately after his release. Mr. Spady follows farming in a general way, raising grain and stock. The farm being the old family homestead of his father contains nearly a quarter section of good land, and is comfortably improved. He and his wife are both members of the Catholic church of Boonville. | Spaedy, Jean Baptist Keller (I18438)

He would complain of feeling cold, andf or that reason kept close to the stove, and went one hour and one half until death relieved him. He leaves 13 children, of which but three were present at his funeral. He died at the residence of his son, Herman.

| 2656 | From the Boonville Weekly Advertiser of 13 Aug, 1897 Page 5, Column 3 Mrs. Eliza Brommer, wife of L. H. Brommer, died at her home near Boonville, August 6, 1897. For several months she had been severely afflicted with a cancerous affliction. Her suffering was most intense. For days and nights her eyes were not closed in slumber. Pain racked her form and fever scorched her brow. Long she hovered between live and death, till at length her earthly bonds were severed, and her spirit took its flight to its eternal home - a home where pain and sorrow and death can never enter - the home of the pure and the true. She was born in Schuylkill County, Pa., March 25, 1838, and became the wife of L. H. Brommer, December 5, 1855. They moved to Boonville, Mo., in the spring of 1879, and since then have resided in Cooper county. The deceased is survived by her husband and eight children – Manual, the oldest, is in Philadelphia; Harry lives in Kansas City; Morris, Robert, Fulton, Pearlie, Mrs. Carrie Miller and Mrs. Jennnie Zeigel live in Cooper county. The funeral rites were held at Jones Chapel Saturday Morning. Rev. Cobb, of Pilot Grove, conducted the services, which were very impressive. The eyes of the large audience were fixed on the speaker, and anxious ears drank in the words of praise and commendation as they fell from his lips. The heart of the vast assemblage went out in sympathy for the bereaved and in love for the deceased. All present knew the loss and felt it – husband had lost a wife, children a mother, neighbors a friend, the church a Christian. In early youth she gave her heart to God and ever placed implicit confidence in His Word, and it was with a willing heart she yielded to the call of her Maker, “Come up higher.” For her, death had no terrors = she longed for her “nice, cool grave,” where she might rest in quiet. “The past was unsighed for, the future sure.” The family endures a heavy loss in her death – a virtuous wife and loving mother, whose maternal affection reigned as queen in the heart of each. Her noble qualities won her the admiration of all – to know her was to love her. The whole community join in deepest sympathy with the bereaved family for the loss of one whose entire live was fraught with deeds of kindness. | Reber, Eleise Eliza (I5734)

Since that time the deceased has continually lived in Wilmot, where she was respected and esteemed by all who knew her. An upright and sincere christian, she was always willing to lend a helping hand in time of need. Above all did she love the kingdom of God, the church, in particular our Lutheran congregation at Wilmot, with which she has been affiliated ever since the same was founded in 1866. During the last years of her life the deceased was much troubled with rheumatism. This, together with other ailments of old age, was also the cause of her death. During the last four weeks she was seriously ill with rheumatism, at times suffering intensely. Patiently she waited and prayed for the end to come, when she would be delivered from all evil of this vale of tears and be with her saviour evermore. She peacefully passed away last Saturday evening at 9:40. She leaves to mourn her death one son, one daughter, one son-in-law, and other relatives. Her age was 83 years, 11 months and 14 days.

| 2662 | From the Heldberg Kirchenbuch: I (Wilbur Kalb) tried to figure out who were the parents of Anna Barbara Eberhard. Looking at her marriage record, I noticed that, when she married Georg Andreas Buchenröder, she was the widow of Johann Peter Dittrief of Heldburg and born Anna Dorothea Eberhardt. So I backed up for a few years and found the record of her first marriage to Johann Peter Dieterieb. It took place on 15 August 1699 — four days before the birth of their son Yes, it was a shotgun wedding, done in secret, with a lengthy writeup, sprinkled with some Latin and a few choice words, from the pastor. The record itself is rather hard to decipher but it looks like Anna Dorothea was the legitimate middle daughter of Henrich Eberhardt, whose middle name is undecipherable at this moment. As you can see, her new husband’s surname does not have a consistent spelling ; if I find him in the burials, his surname would have a different spelling, perhaps Dieterich. Here’s the record of Anna Dorothea’s first marriage : | Eberhard, Anna Dorothea (I21143)

| 2663 | From the History of Cooper County, Missouri and entry for Peter John Schler. it states that Charles and Mary had six children, three of whom died early. Their living children was Sophie, Charles, and Henry. Charles Schierholtz was born in 1823 and died 27 Jul 1891; while Mary was born 24 Jan 1838. There were both born in Kreis Melle, Hanover, Germany and came to the US in 1845. Coming to Boonville, Charles opened a brickyard in Boonville and later bought a farm south of Boonville in 1876. To me this implies that Charles and Mary were not married before coming to the US. | Schierholtz, Charles Frederick Wilhelm (I27369)

| 2664 | From the History of Parliment ConstituencyDates BRECONSHIRE 1558 Family and Education b. by 1517, s. of William Thomas Herbert of Crickhowel by a da. of Jenkin Melyf. m. Margaret, da. of Morgan Thomas Hir, at least 1s.1 Offices Held Sheriff, Brec. 1541-2, 1547-8, Mon. 1551-2; commr. subsidy, Brec. 1543, relief 1550, goods of churches and fraternities 1553; j.p. 1555, q. 1558/59-64.2 Biography The Herbert family of Crickhowel was of illegitimate descent from Sir Richard Herbert (d.1469) of Coldbrook, Monmouthshire, brother of the then Earl of Pembroke. Walter Herbert, who was also known by the diminutive Watkin, is to be distinguished from a namesake of Brecon who was a justice in 1543 and commissioner in 1550, with Herbert, for the collection of the third part of the relief. It is clear from later evidence that it was Walter Herbert of Crickhowel who in March 1538 leased for £42 a year all the mills in the lordship of Brecon and fishery rights in the Neath and Tawe rivers. As Watkin Herbert he became the second sheriff of the new county of Brecon: he was to serve a second term there and one in Monmouthshire. He sued out a general pardon at the accession of Mary and was involved in litigation for debt at the great sessions in 1554. Of the circumstances of his return to the last Parliament of the reign, or of the part which he played in it, nothing has been discovered.3 At Elizabeth’s accession Herbert again secured a general pardon, and his dependability was shown by his being put on the quorum of the Breconshire bench. After 1564 nothing more is heard of him, no will or inquisition surviving.4 Ref Volumes: 1509-1558 Author: P. S. Edwards Notes 1. Date of birth estimated from first reference. Dwnn. Vis.

Sir Rhys Ap Thomas, K.G., in the reigns of Henry the Seventh and Henry the Eighth of England, according to the Welsh antiquaries and historians, had an extant pedigree going back to Adam; but the historical part probably begins with Urien Rheged, a British prince, living, according to the best authorities, in the sixth century after Christ. Possibly the links that connect him with Sir Rhys may not all be of equal certainty, but that the latter was descended from Urien is the uniform judgment of all writers upon Welsh history and genealogy. Urien is called the son of Cynvarch Oer ap Meirchion Gul, a prince of the North Britons in Cumbria, on the borders of the kingdom of Strath Clyde. Driven out by the invading Saxons in the sixth century of our era, Cynvarch took refuge in Wales and entered the ranks of the clergy, founding the church of Llangynvarch or S. Kinemark's, Maelor in Flintshire. His name is on the pillar of Eliseg near Llangollen. He Nevyn, daughter of Brychan, who likewise entered religion and founded the church of S. Nevyn, Caernarvonshire. By her he had issue :1 Urien; Eurddyl, his twin sister, who m. Elider of the numerous clan; Aron, who was one of Arthur's "knights of counsel, so wise and prudent that no one could at any time defeat him ;" and Llew or Llewellyn, who m., according to the Romances, Anna, sister of King Arthur, and had two sons, Gwalchmai and Medrawd or Mordred, the traitor, one of the three royal knights, "whom neither king nor emperor could vanquish; if they could not succeed by fair means, they would by foul and disgraceful ones." Gwalchmai, Walweyn, or Gawain, the other son, is by some authorities described as the son of Anna and a second husband, Gwyar. He is celebrated as one of the three golden tongued knights, and such was their eloquence "that no one could refuse whatever they asked." Other Triads call him "one of the three most courteous men of Britain," and one of the " three scientific ones of the Isle, to whom there was nothing of which the elements were not known." William of Malmesbury states that in the year 1086 his tomb was discovered on the seashore of Rhos on Pembrokeshire, where there is a district called Walwen's castle. Urien, the eldest son of Cynvarch, was a great patron of the bards, by whom he is called "brave as a lion and gentle as a maid." The Welsh Triads name him as one of " the three Bulls of Conflict" and "the three pillars of battle." In the Arthurian romances he appears as Sir Urience. All the authorities agree in representing Urien and his sons as strenuously opposing the Saxon advance, and fighting, Taliesin declares, as many as ten battles against Ida and Deoric of Northumbrian His greatest exploit was the expulsion of the Goidels, Gwyddelians, or Irish Scots, from the territory lying between the Tawe and Tavy rivers, and comprising Gowerland, Cydweli, Iscenen, Carnwallon, and Cantrev Bychan, to which was given the name of his father's northern principality, Rheged. About 567 he was treacherously slain by Llovan Llawdivo, while besieging Ida's son Deoric in the island of " Medcant," possibly Lindisfarne. Llywarch Hen, one of the greatest of the bards and the son of his father's younger brother, Elider Lydanwyn, in a long elegy celebrates his prowess and bewails his death.3 The Welsh pedigrees marry cuted them with the boldness peculiar to his character. He met the Commissioners on their entry into Caermarthenshire, himself meanly dressed, and accompanied only by four or five attendants raggedly attired, and as miserably mounted. Right glad was Lord Whitney to find the truculent Welshman apparently in his power, and he was not a little astonished also to hear him offer his services to guide him to Caermarthen, the place of his destination. Their road followed the windings of the Bran to where that river unites with the Gwydderig in its confluence with the Towey. On the western bank, on a rocky eminence, was Gruffyd's Castle of Abermarlais, hidden from the Commissioners by the thick woods which lined the shores of the river. A graceful curve of the road, however, brought them to the foot of the gentle eminence on which the castle stood, and then Gruffyd, turning to the surprised Commissioners and pointing to the open postern, invited them, with a smile, to enter and refresh themselves. They were received with demonstrations of extreme respect by Gruffyd's son Thomas, at the head of one hundred horsemen handsomely dressed and gallantly mounted, and began to open their eyes to the real power and consequence of their companion. After having well refreshed themselves, the whole party, including Thomas ap Gruffyd and his armed retinue, left the castle. A little farther on their way they came to the ancient fortress of Dinevawr, not far from the town of Llandeilo Fawr, then the stronghold of Owen, Gruffyd's son. He received them at the head of a chosen body of two hundred armed horsemen, and played the part of host with such address that he contrived to draw from his guests the secret of their commission. The whole party then proceeded on their way, leaving the mountains for the plain where the Towey meets the Gwili, at the little village of Abergwili. Here they were met by a splendid body of five hundred " tall men " on foot, well armed and accoutred, and led by Gruffyd's eldest son. Thus magnificently attended the Commissioners entered Caermarthen, then the capital of South Wales. Gruffyd now excused himself from attendance on the Commissioners and committed to his sons the care of entertaining them at the banquet prepared in their honour at the Guild Hall. Lord Whitney privately sent for the Mayor, Stephen Griffith, and the Sheriff, and showing his commission, demanded their assistance to arrest Gruffyd, which it was determined should be done on the following morning. The banquet was now prepared, and the Commissioners were escorted to it with much pomp by the sons of Gruffyd. The tables had been arranged along the centre of the floor, and according to the architecture of the time a row of pillars separated the upper end of the room, which was slightly elevated, from that part which was assigned to the less distinguished members of the assembly. Lord Whitney was conducted to a seat on the dais, splendidly hung with cloth of gold, and Owen placed himself upon his right hand. On either side of this elevated dais galleries had been raised, in which were placed the bards of that land of minstrelsy. The guests betook themselves with right good-will to the noble cheer provided, and Owen in particular plied them with Ypocras, Garhiofilac, and other delicate and precious drinks, which soon produced the desired effect upon the Commissioners. Lord Whitney after his conference with the authorities, and exhibiting to them his commission, carelessly placed it in his sleeve, which was made very wide after the fashion of the time, and often used for such purposes. During the revel, Owen abstracted it from its hiding-place, while Lord Whitney was in such a state of mental obscuration from the strong potations that had been pressed upon him, that he not only did not notice its loss at the time but retired to bed without doing so. Owen communicated to his father the success of their plans, but Gruff yd abated nothing of his formal courtesy to the Commissioners, and the next morning presented himself before them in the Guild Hall, splendidly dressed and attended by his sons and armed retainers. He was immediately arrested by the officers of the Court, to whom he made no resistance, but with an air of great humility requested that the proceedings against him might be conducted according to law, and asked to see their commission. Lord Whitney readily assented to his request, but upon putting his hand into his sleeve and finding the warrant gone, his consternation may be easily imagined. "Methinks Lord Whitney," said Gruff yd, " if he comes here, as he says, by the King's grace, must have valued his commission too highly to have committed it to the safe-keeping of that ruffle or carelessly to have lost it." Then dropping his assumed deference, clapping his hat upon his head, and turning to his friends and followers, he exclaimed: "What! have we cozeners and cheaters come hither to abuse the King's Majesty's power and to disquiet his true-hearted subjects?" Then looking on the Commissioners with a bitter frown, he said, " By the mass, before the next day come to an end, I will hang up all your bodies for traitors and impostors." The Commissioners were panic-stricken, and entreated for their lives; which Gruffyd at last granted on condition that Lord Whitney should put on his livery coat of blue and wear his cognizance, and be bound by an oath to go to the King so arrayed, acknowledge his own offences, and justify the Welshman's proceedings. In 1451 a great eistedfodd was held at Caermarthen under the patronage of Gruffyd ap Nicholas, at which the rules of the Welsh metres Dosbarth Caerfyrrdin were determined. Gruffyd continuing his depredations upon the Lords Marchers was at length found guilty of felony on an indictment preferred against him in the Co. of Salop. This decision at once illumined his mind as to the rival claims of the Houses of York and Lancaster. A Lancastrian King had adjudged him a felon, the Uuke of York was therefore of necessity the champion of a good cause and him he would support. He joined Edward of March, the Duke's son, at Gloucester, with eight hundred men well armed and provisioned, and marched with him to Mortimer's Cross, in Herefordshire. Here on February 2, 1461, a battle was fought between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians under Jasper, Earl of Pembroke, in which Gruffyd was mortally wounded, surviving only long enough to know that his friends were victorious.

| 2669 | From The Thomas Family: Thomas ap Gruffyd, who is described as a man of a character very different from his turbulent father, and one of the most accomplished gentlemen of the age, with a mildness of disposition and elegance of manners rarely found in those cruel times of civil warfare. To avoid taking part in the contests of the rival houses of York and Lancaster he withdrew to the accomplished Court of Burgundy, then ruled over by Philip the Good, in whose service he enrolled himself. There he became famous for his boldness and skill in the tilt and tourney, and in single combat. After the death of his first wife, Elizabeth Griffith, his gallantry and gracious disposition are said to have won the affections of a near relative of the Duke, and Thomas, having probably offended by his presumption the Duke's heir, the Count of Charolois (afterward so well known as Charles the Bold) was compelled to return to Wales. There he had constant encounters with his neighbours, particularly Henry ap Gwilym of Court Henry in the Vale of Towey, between whose family and his there seems to have existed an ancient feud. His last duel took place some time toward the end of Henry the Sixth's reign, or the beginning of that of Edward the Fourth, when he fought with David Gough somewhere in Merionethshire and killed him. Having laid aside his armour and thrown himself upon the ground to rest after the combat, he was treacherously run through the body and killed by one of Cough's retainers. He was buried in the Abbey of Bardsey, Caernarvonshire. He was m. to Elizabeth, dau. and heiress of Sir John Griffith of Abermarlais, and possibly1 to another Elizabeth, dau. of James de Burgoigne, natural son of Philip, Duke of Burgundy, or herself a natural dau. of the Duke; from her descended the great clan of Johnes of Abermarlais.

It has given ten high sheriffs to Cardigan, Caermarthen, and Pembroke; numbered among its members Thomas Johnes, the translator of Froissart, and was represented by John Johnes, Esq., of Dolau Cothy, J.

Thomas ap Gruffydd's two elder sons, Morgan and David, became, immediately on their father's decease, warm partizans, on opposite sides, of the houses of York and Lancaster. When Jasper, Earl of Pembroke, after the overthrow of Queen Margaret at Tewkesbury, retired to Pembroke, accompanied by his nephew, Henry, Earl of Richmond, Morgan ap Thomas invested the castle, in order to prevent their escaping out of the country. Upon this David ap Thomas hastily collected together about two thousand men, armed any way, 1 Reusnenes says: '"One such daughter married apud Britones." fell on the besiegers by surprise, obliged them to retire, and gave the Earl and his young charge an opportunity to escape to Tenby, whence they immediately sailed to Brittany. This is nearly all that is recorded of these two brothers. But both are said to have lost their lives in the Wars of the Roses. | ap Gruffydd, Thomas (I25636)

Gould, to the number of fifty-two gathered at their pleasant commodious home in Eden township Friday evening, Dec. 19, to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding day. Mr. and Mrs. Gould were evidently not expecting to entertain friends that evening but soon adjusted themselves to circumstances and a very enjoyable time followed. After a bountiful supper Mr. John W. Martin in a neat little speech presented to Mr. and Mrs. Gould in behalf of their many friends, two beautiful easy chairs, a dinner sett composed of 112 pieces, a nice water sett, a pickle castor and $2.20 in money. Mr. Gould responded in a few feeling words and invited all to come again, singly or enmasse. It was noted that none of the Schaller friends were present although many of their names were on the list of contributors which was presented by Mrs. M. E. Wright to the happy pair. Mrs. Gould's friends from Wisconsin greatly wished to be present but were unable to come although her father, Mr. Borah was respresented on the list by a $2.00 contribution.

| 2675 | From Wikipedia Bertrada of Laon (born between 710 and 727 – 12 July 783), also known as Bertrada the Younger or Bertha Broadfoot (cf. Latin: Regina pede aucae i.e. the queen with the goose-foot), was a Frankish queen. She was the wife of Pepin the Short and the mother of Charlemagne, Carloman and Gisela. Nickname Bertrada's nickname "Bertha Broadfoot" dates back to the 13th century, when it was used in Adenes Le Roi's trouvère Li rouman de Berte aus grands piés.[1] The exact reason that Bertrada was given this nickname is unclear. It is possible that Bertrada was born with a clubfoot,[2] although Adenes does not mention this in his poem.[1] The nickname might have been a reference to an ancient legend about a Germanic goddess named Perchta, to real and mythological queens named Bertha, or to several similarly-named Christian queens.[3] Many myths and legends exist in Europe and Asia, in which clubfooted people are described as the link between the world of the living and the spirit world.[4] The tavern sign in Anatole France's novel At the Sign of the Reine Pédauque alludes to this queen. Biography Early life and ancestry Bertrada was born sometime between 710 and 727 in Laon, in today's Aisne, France, to Count Charibert of Laon.[5] Charibert's father might have been related to Hugobertides.[6][7] Charibert's mother was Bertrada of Prüm, who founded Prüm Abbey along with Charibert. Marriage and children Bertrada married Pepin the Short, the son of Charles Martel, the Frankish "Mayor of the Palace", in 741. However, Pepin and Bertrada were too closely related for their marriage to be legal at that time; the union was not canonically sanctioned until 749, after the birth of Charlemagne.[8] According to French historian Léon Levillain, Bertrada was Pepin's first and only wife.[9][10][11] Other sources suggest that Pepin had previously married a "Leutberga" or "Leutbergie", with whom Pepin would have had five children.[12] Bertrada and Pepin are known to have had seven children: three sons and four daughters. Of these, Charlemagne (c. 742 – 814),[13] Carloman (751–771)[14] and Gisela (757–811) survived to adulthood. Pepin, born in 756, died in his infancy in 762. Bertrada and Pepin also had Berthe, Adelaide, and Rothaide. Gisela became a nun at Chelles Abbey.[15] Queen of the Franks A statue of Bertrada of Laon by Eugène Oudiné, one of the twenty Reines de France et Femmes illustres in the Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris. In 751, Pepin and Bertrada became King and Queen of the Franks, following Pepin's successful coup against the Frankish Merovingian monarchs.[16] Pepin was crowned in June 754, and Bertrada, Charlemagne, and Carloman were blessed by Pope Stephen II.[17][18] After Pepin's death in 768, Bertrada lost her title as Queen of the Franks. Charlemagne and Carloman inherited the two halves of Pepin's kingdom. Bertrada stayed at the court and often tried to stop arguments between the two brothers.[14] Some historians credit Bertrada's support for her elder son Charlemagne over her younger son Carloman, and her diplomatic skills, for Charlemagne's early success.[19] Although her influence over Charlemagne may have diminished in time, she lived at his court, and, according to Einhard, their relationship was excellent. Bertrada recommended that Charlemagne set aside his legal wife, Himiltrude, and marry Desiderata, a daughter of the Lombard king Desiderius, but Charlemagne soon divorced Desiderata. Einhard claims this was the only episode that ever strained relations between mother and son.[14] Later life and death Bertrada retired from the court after Carloman's death in 771 to live in Choisy-au-Bac, where Charlemagne had set aside a royal house for her. Choisy-au-Bac was favorable because of its history of being the home and burial place of several Merovingian kings.[14] Bertrada died on 12 July 783 in Choisy-au-Bac.[14] Charlemagne buried her in the Basilica of St Denis near Pepin.[20] | de Laon, Queen Bertrada II (I32247)

| 2676 | From Wikipedia Eleanor of Lancaster, Countess of Arundel (sometimes called Eleanor Plantagenet; 11 September 1318 – 11 January 1372) was the fifth daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster and Maud Chaworth. Eleanor married first on 6 November 1330 John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont (d. 1342), son of Henry Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, 1st Baron Beaumont (c.1288-1340) by his wife Alice Comyn (1289-3 July 1349). He died in a tournament on 14 April 1342. They had one son, born to Eleanor in Ghent whilst serving as lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa of Hainault: Henry Beaumont, 3rd Baron Beaumont, (4 April 1340 – 25 July 1369), the first husband of Lady Margaret de Vere (d. 15 June 1398), the daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford by his wife Maud de Badlesmere. Henry and Margaret had one son, John Beaumont, 4th Baron Beaumont KG (1361-1396). On 5 February 1344 at Ditton Church, Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, she married Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. His previous marriage, to Isabel le Despenser, had taken place when they were children. It was annulled by Papal mandate as she, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased to be of any importance to him. Pope Clement VI obligingly annulled the marriage, bastardized the issue, and provided a dispensation for his second marriage to the woman with whom he had been living in adultery (the dispensation, dated 4 March 1344/1345, was required because his first and second wives were first cousins). The children of Eleanor's second marriage were: Richard (1346–1397), who succeeded as Earl of Arundel John Fitzalan (bef 1349 - 1379) Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury (c. 1353 - 19 February 1413) Lady Joan FitzAlan (1347/1348 - 7 April 1419), married Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford Lady Alice FitzAlan (1350 - 17 March 1416), married Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent (Thomas Holand) Lady Mary FitzAlan (died 29 August 1396), married John Le Strange, 4th Lord Strange of Blackmere, by whom she had issue Lady Eleanor FitzAlan (1356 - before 1366) Eleanor died at Arundel and was buried at Lewes Priory in Lewes, Sussex, England. Her husband survived her by four years, and was buried beside her; in his will Richard requests to be buried "near to the tomb of Eleanor de Lancaster, my wife; and I deSire that my tomb be no higher than hers, that no men at arms, horses, hearse, or other pomp, be used at my funeral, but only five torches...as was about the corpse of my wife, be allowed."

| 2677 | From Wikipedia John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray (24 June 1340 – 1368) was an English peer. He was slain near Constantinople while en route to the Holy Land. Family John de Mowbray, born 25 June 1340 at Epworth, Lincolnshire, was the son of John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray, of Axholme, Lincolnshire, by his second wife, Joan of Lancaster, sixth and youngest daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster. Career He and twenty-six others were knighted by Edward III in July 1355 while English forces were at the Downs before sailing to France. In 1356 he served in a campaign in Brittany. He had livery of his lands on 14 November 1361; however his inheritance was subject to the dower which his father had settled on his stepmother, Elizabeth de Vere. By 1369 she had married Sir William de Cossington, son and heir of Stephen de Cossington of Cossington in Aylesford, Kent; not long after the marriage she and her new husband surrendered themselves to the Fleet prison for debt. According to Archer, the cause may have been Mowbray's prosecution of his stepmother for waste of his estates; he had been awarded damages against her of almost £1000. In about 1343 an agreement had been made for a double marriage between, on the one hand, Mowbray and Audrey Montagu, the granddaughter of Thomas of Brotherton, and on the other hand, Mowbray's sister, Blanche, and Audrey's brother, Edward Montagu. Neither marriage took place. Instead, about 1349 a double marriage was solemnized between, on the one hand, Mowbray and Elizabeth Segrave, and on the other hand, Mowbray's sister Blanche, and Elizabeth Segrave's brother John, Pope Clement VI having granted dispensations for the marriages at the request of the Earl of Lancaster in order to prevent 'disputes between the parents', who were neighbours. Mowbray had little financial benefit from his marriage during his lifetime as a result of the very large jointure which had been awarded to Elizabeth Segrave's mother, Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, who lived until 1399. However, when Elizabeth Segrave's father, John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave, died on 1 April 1353, Edward III allowed Mowbray to receive a small portion of his wife's eventual inheritance. Estate accounts for 1367 indicate that Mowbray enjoyed an annual income of almost £800 at that time. Mowbray was summoned to Parliament from 14 August 1362 to 20 January 1366. On 10 October 1367 he appointed attorneys in preparation for travel beyond the seas; these appointments were confirmed in the following year. He was slain by the Turks near Constantinople while en route to the Holy Land. A letter from the priory of 'Peyn' written in 1396 suggests that he was initially buried at the convent at Pera opposite Constantinople; according to the letter, 'at the instance of his son Thomas' his bones had now been gathered and were being sent to England for burial with his ancestors. His will was proved at Lincoln on 17 May 1369. His wife, Elizabeth, predeceased him in 1368 by only a few months. Marriage and issue Mowbray married, by papal dispensation dated 25 March 1349, Elizabeth de Segrave (born 25 October 1338 at Croxton Abbey), suo jure Lady Segrave, daughter and heiress of John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave (d.1353), by Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas of Brotherton, son of Edward I. They had two sons and three daughters: John de Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham (1 August 1365 – before 12 February 1383), who died unmarried, and was buried at the Whitefriars, London.

| 2678 | From Wikipedia Toxandria - Toxandria in a map of Central Europe (919-1125).Toxandria is the classical name for a region between the Meuse and the Scheldt rivers in the Netherlands and Belgium. The name is also spelled Taxandria. The Salian Franks that settled the area in the 4th century became known as Toxandrians. These tribes gave rise to the Merovingian dynasty that came to dominate what is now France. In these ancient times, the many barbarian tribes, given the broad label as Germanic tribes (Latin Germanicus) by the Romans, originated from Scandinavia and had by the 1st century BC spread through vast areas of today's central and western Europe. Because of their continuous raids, these tribes subdivided into separate clans and moved on to other areas. In the middle of the 3rd century, two members of the tribal confederacy known as the Franks, the Salians and the Ripuarians, began penetrating the Roman frontier around Mainz but were soon driven back by Emperor Probus. Despite the temporary setback, the moves against the ever-weakening Roman masters resulted in Emperor Julian buying peace in 358 by handing over Toxandria to the Salians who then became Roman allies and provided troops for the imperial army. This entente would shape both the Salian language and law, resulting in the 6th century Salic law written in Latin. The Ripuarians took up residence in a strip of territory between the Rhine River and the Meuse and, like all the wandering tribes, never formed any permanent alliances with the Salians in Toxandria. In the ensuing years, the Toxandrians did not continue to collectively wander from one place to another as other Germanic tribes, but instead began to expand their territory outwards. The Romans were soon again under attack with the emergence of the first strong leader Meroveus, after whom the Merovingian dynasty would be named. Notably, his son, Childeric I made further agreements that expanded their territory while aiding the Romans in driving out several invaders from around Orléans and Angers. In the ensuing years, Childeric's son Clovis I emerged as the dominant force who would, through his military might, add parts of present day Germany to his kingdom and shape what was to become modern day France. Dagobert is a fictitious character, or rather one whose true facts have escaped genealogists so far. | de France, Ascyllius (I33975)

| 2679 | From Wikipedia - Marcomer (Marcomeres, Marchomer, Marchomir) was a Frankish leader (dux) in the late 4th century who invaded the Roman Empire in the year 388, when the usurper and leader of the whole of Roman Gaul, Magnus Maximus was surrounded in Aquileia by Theodosius I. The invasion is documented by Gregory of Tours who cited the now lost work of Sulpicius Alexander. According to this account Marcomer, Sunno and Genobaud invaded the Roman provinces Germania Inferior and Gallia Belgica in Gaul. They broke through the limes, killed many people, destroyed the most fruitful lands and made the city of Cologne panic. After this raid, the main body of the Franks moved back over the Rhine with their booty. Some of the Franks remained in the Belgian woods. When the Roman generals Magnus Maximus, Nanninus and Quintinus heard the news in Trier, they attacked those remaining Frankish forces and killed many of them. After this engagement, Quintinus crossed the Rhine to punish the Franks in their own country, however his army was surrounded and beaten. Some Roman soldiers drowned in the marshes, others were killed by Franks; few made it back to their Empire. Nanninus and Quintinus were replaced by Charietto and Syrus, who were again confronted by an attack of unidentified Franks. Later, after the fall of Magnus Maximus, Marcomer and Sunno held a short meeting about the recent attacks with the Frank Arbogastes, who was a general (magister militum) in the Roman army. The Franks delivered hostages as usual, and Arbogastes returned to his winter quarters in Trier. A couple of years later when Arbogastes had seized power and the West Roman army was nearly completely in the hands of Frankish mercenaries, he crossed the Rhine with a Roman army into Germania, because he hated his own kin. Marcomer was seen as leader with Chatti and Ampsivarii but the two did not engage. Later we hear from the poet Claudian that Marcomer was arrested by Romans and banned to a villa in Tuscany. His brother Sunno crossed the Rhine and tried to settle himself as leader of the band of Marcomir, however he was killed by his own people. According to the later Liber Historiae Francorum, Marcomer tried to unite the Franks after the death of Sunno. He proposed that the Franks should live under one king and proposed his own son Pharamond (whose earliest mention is in this work, and who is considered mythological by scholars) for the kingship. This source does not relate whether Marcomer succeeded, but from other later sources that recall the account of Liber Historiae Francorum, the impression may be gained that Pharamond was regarded as the first king of the Franks. However, modern scholars, such as Edward James, do not accept this account in the Liber Historiae Francorum as historical, because Marcomer is called the son of the Trojan king Priam. Traditionally Marcomer is also known as Marcomir VI, and made a descendant of King Priam Podarces of Troy by Priam's son Helenus, from whom the Kings of Cimmerian Bosporus were said to descend.

| 2680 | From Wikipedia- Baderic, Baderich, Balderich or Boderic (ca. 480 – 529), son of Bisinus and Menia, was a co-king of the Thuringii. He and his brothers Hermanfrid and Berthar succeeded their father Bisinus. After Hermanfrid defeated Berthar in battle, he invited King Theuderic I of Metz to help him defeat Baderic in return for half of the kingdom. Theuderic I agreed and Baderic was defeated and killed in 529. Hermanfrid became the sole king. Baderic is known to have two daughters: Ingund and Aregund, who became the 3rd and 4th wives respectively of Clothar I, King of the Franks. | of Thüringia, Baderich (I32228)

| 2683 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb Ulman Stromer was also the one who went to Emperor Charles IV on the behalf of the Free and Imperial City and demanded of him, “Is Nuremberg a Jewish city or a Christian city???” The Emperor did not have the intelligence and backbone to have him thrown to the dungeons for his rudeness so Nuremberg went back to being The City of the Christians, keeping Bavaria on its 1,900-year-long descent into the Holocaust. Here’s the English translation of Ulman’s biography from the German Wikipedia to show what was life like for his brother, Franz the Elder, your ancestor, as a member of one of the richest and strongest of the Partizierfamilien of Nuremberg. Note the mentions of “The Golden Road” and “New Bohemia”. Ulman Stromer was born as the twelfth of eighteen surviving children of the merchant from Nuremberg, Heinrich Stromer ( d. 1347 ) ( from the Stromer von Reichenbach ) and his second wife Margarete Geusmid ( Geuschmidtin, d. 1350 ). He was apprenticed as a merchant in the family businesses in Barcelona [ then in the Principality of Catalonia, under the Crown of Aragon, now Spain ], Genoa [ then an independent republic ], Milan [ then an autonomous dominion of the Kingdom of Italy ] and Kraków and undertook his own business trips already to Kraków and Lwów [ then in Poland, now Lviv in the Ukraine ]. In 1358 Stromer married his first wife Anna Hegner ( d. 1365 ), the daughter of the richest owner of the forges and furnaces in Sulzbach [ = Sulzbach bei Amberg, identified by Lemmel as a town 8.6 miles northwest of Amberg and 31 miles east of Nuremberg, prospered as a stopover on “The Golden Road” between Nuremberg and Prague and also, from 1353 to 1373, as the capital of “New Bohemia”. It once belonged to the County Palatinate of the Rhine but, in 1349, Emperor Charles IV got it by marrying the Count’s daughter, Anna. ]. A year after her death, he took in 1366 the then 14-years-old Agnes Groland ( d. 1413 ) to the altar. In 1368 he acquired for 1,825 gulden a large estate on the Hauptmarkt, immediately north of the Frauenkirche ( Hauptmarkt 16 / Obstgasse 2 ) and built on it for about 2,000 gulden to a representative residence and Kauffahrerhof [ hostel for traveling mechants ]. From his own information Stromer began in 1360 with the recording of his Püchel von meim geslecht und von abentewr [ “Little Book of My Family and Adventures” ], in which he documented events in his family, the undertakings, but also the politics. In 1370 he took over, together with his brothers Peter and Andreas, the management of the Großhandelshaus [ store of wholesale goods ] of the family, whose shops ranged from Barcelona to Riga [ then a German city in the Hanseatic League, now as thoroughly Latvian as the rest of Latvia ] and Tana [ then a colony of Venetian and Genoese merchants in the lands of the Golden Horde, but now known as Azov, a town in Russia ]. From 1371 he was a councilor in the Inner Council of the Free and Imperial City of Nuremberg. Although he already held from 1396 the most important office in the City Militia as the Oberster Hauptmann [ Colonel-Captain ], he was already seen from the decade of the 1380s as the “Gray Eminence” ( Fleischmann ) in the Nuremberger Council. Since 1372 was he was, for 18 years long, the caretaker of the nunnery of St. Clara. During the War of the Cities of 1388, he acted successfully against Burggraf [ “Castle Count” = Burgrave ] Friedrich V ( 1395 – 1397 ) ; Ulman Stromer allied Nuremberg with the Schwäbisch-Rheinischen Städtebund [ “League of the Swabian-Rhenish Cities”, known in English as the Swabian League of Cities ]. In an inglorious way, he was probably also involved with the so-called Judenschuldentilgung [ cancellation of the debts owed to the Jews ] of 1388. In 1390 he converted the Gleissmühle on the Pegnitz River to the Hadermühle ( Hader = “rags”, used to make paper ) as to the first paper mill north of the Alps. Therefore, even north of the Alps, the paper produced in relatively cheap mass production began to replace the expensive parchment made from animal hides. The oldest illustration of the ( at this time no longer active ) paper mill can be found in the Nuremberg Chronicle [ in the lower right corner of the traveller’s view of Nuremberg — the paper had to be made outside the City’s walls because the work was noisy and smelly. ] Ulman Stromer was closely associated with the Wittelsbach Elector of the Palatinate Ruprecht II and his financial support contributed in 1400 to the fall of [ the King of Germany ] Wenceslaus ( [ reigned ] 1376 – 1400 ) and the election of the son of Ruprecht II, Ruprecht [ III ], as the King ( [ reigned ] 1400 – 1410 ). Ruprecht II was, during his visit to Nuremberg, a guest of Ulman Stromer and in 1401 his wife Elisabeth, the Burggräfin [ “Castle Countess” = Burgravess ] of Nuremberg ( 1358 – 1411 ) stood as the godmother for a granddaughter of Ulman. The Nuremberger pestilience of the Winter of 1406 – 1407, in which less than eight members of the family, including Stromer’s son of the same name, had found Death, he himself fell on 3 April 1407 “on the Sunday after Easter [ am suntag nach ostern ]”. | Stromer, Ulrich von Reichenbach (I30312)

| 2686 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb As the eldest uncle of Jacob, I thought I knew all the nicknames and abbreviations of his name in certain languages but, when I read the German Wikipedia article “Jakob ( Name )”, I saw that you did get it right. The Kirchenschreiber [ church scribe ] didn’t get drunk on the Kirchenwein [ church’s wine ] and messed up after all. “Cob” was indeed a nickname in German for Jacob, similar to today’s nicknames, Koebi in German, Kobus and Kobe in Dutch, Coob in East Frisian, Köbes in Kölsch ( the dialect of Cologne ) and Köbi in Alemannisch ( Bavaria, Swabia, Vorarlberg and the Tyrol ). So we’ll go with Cob as Jacob Thomæ’s nickname. As for that abbreviation after his surname, “f.” is short for folgendes, German for “following”, to show that Cob Thomæ and his bride, Anna Schübart, were following Balthasar Schübart and his bride, Barbara Pfeffer, to the wedding altar. The name “Eucharus” is actually spelled here as “Eucharius” ; it has the same ending ( ij or ÿ ) of the Latin word for son, “filius”, in that 1613 baptismal entry of Heinrich Thomä, the son of Lorenz. And it’s meant to honor the Eucharist.

| 2688 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb Charges Thomæ’s wife died in childbirth ten months after their baby was buried at the age of six weeks. Charges, like Eucharius, is a real German forename. It’s usually spelled as Karges and, like Eucharius, it’s not in the book, Duden Lexikon der Vornamen [ Duden Dictionary of Forenames ]. But, apparently, it’s used by boys named Eucharius, Carius or Charisius to avoid getting beaten up in the playgrounds. The Forenames website has the information in German : Karius, Karies, Karges Heiligenname ( Macarius d. Große, griechisch »der Selige« ). Im 15./16. Jahrhundert als Vorname : Charius Balduf 1504 Ravensburg, in Quedlinburg 1598 Karries, Karges. Vergleiche Johannes Keris ( Karisii ) 1304 Worms ( auch Charisius war Heiligenname ). In English : Saint’s name — Karius, Karies, Karges ( St Macarius the Great, Greek » the Holy « ).

Compare to Johannes Keris ( Karisii ) 1304 Worms ( Charisius was also a saint’s name ). [ St Macarius the Great is St Marcarius of Egypt ( ca 300 – 391 ), the Coptic Christian monk and hermit whose feast day is 15 January in the Catholic Church and 19 January in the Orthodox Church. St Charisius of Corinth was a Greek missionary who was one of the eight Christians who were martyred for their faith in AD 250 in Corinth, Greece, by the Presecution of Decius, the Emperor of Rome from AD 245 to AD 251.

| 2689 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb He’s Ambrosius Dietz! An Evangelical Lutheran Bürger and Tuchscherer [ citizen and cloth cutter ] of Hildburghausen, he ( 1578 – 1662 ) was the son of Alexander Dietz and his wife Barbara Zink and the brother of Wolfgang Dietz, both of Königsberg in Bayern, 24.8 miles in the southwest. When he was born, his birthplace belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar but, when he died, he was buried in Coburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg. He was also the husband of Martha Habermann ( 1587 – 1646 ), a native of Hildburghausen, and the father of two girls. In January 1620, he was hauled before the City Council of Hildburghausen on the charge of coin fraud and his case went all the way to the authorities of the Duchy of Coburg. Apparently he beat the rap because, in June 1627, he came back to the City Council of Hildburghausen to ask for compensation after Colonel Schönberg’s Imperial soldiers stole his horses. It took him five years to get his money. 15 ( not 10 ). Mar[ch]. Andreßen Thoma ein söhnlein getaūfft Ex. Ambrosius Dietz. The English translation : 15 Mar[ch].

| 2690 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb I finally decided on the transcription and translation of the last word of the 1615 baptismal record of Hansen Thomae’s daughter by ignoring the “pta”, which is apparently meant for the next entry.

| 2693 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb: Sorry about the delay but I had a lot of trouble with the third word of the second line of the 1626 burial entry of Christoph Thomæ’s baby girl. At first I thought it was a mangle of a misspelling and a correction but a closer reading showed that it was actually a compound verb — and an unusual one. It’s the combination of graef, the Dutch word for “grave”, and tauft, the German word for “baptize” = graeftauft, “baptized by the grave”. I know infant mortality was very high in the 17th Century but I’ve never seen such a word before. Sometimes a baby would die so fast that there was no time to fetch the pastor. Sometimes the parents had had to perform an emergency baptism ; that was allowed by both Catholic and Protestant Churches in those days. That’s why the parish registers are sprinkled with mentions of home baptisms throughout the centuries. I’m guessing that the baby’s resurrection stopped her funeral and her father, being the local Diakonus, wasn’t taking any chances with her baptism. Hence the following transcription and translation but, as you’ll see, in spite of the emergency, the daughter did not get a name The German transcription : 16 [ November 1626, Donnerstag ] Hr. Christoph Thomæ Diaconi Tochter, lein so greaftaūft [ not graeftaūft ] werd [ = wird ] begraben.

The English translation : 3 Apr. [ 1617 ] Lorenz Thomae a little son baptized after Bern- hard Kempf Miller at the Nedten [ Niedten ? Nelken ? ] Mill. Yes, this is easy but I can’t find Bernhard Kempf’s mill, “Nedter Mühl”, in the map of Hildburghausen from the Meyers Gazetteer website. There are at least five mills around the town — Ebenretters, Eicherts, Höppls, Schlief and Finken — but the map is from the 1880s. I need to find an earlier map for the correct spelling. However, the Historical Timeline of Hildburghausen does have the information about the Kempf Mill ( translated from the German ) : 1419 The Kreismühle [ District Mill ] ( since 1552 Kempfesmühle [ Kempf Mill ] ) on the Werra in Häselrieth is mentioned in the Zinsbuch [ account book ] of the St. Lorenz [ Church ], in 1462 Kressermül, 1515 Kreyersmüll, in 1552 it comes into the possession of the Kempf family and is called Kempfesmühle. The mill is located on the site of the former Wäscherei [ laundry house ] at Kehrweg 4 [ which happens to go to Hildburghausen ]. But a 1635 request to the bailiff of Heldburg had Bernhard Kempf living in Hildburghausen, not Häselrieth, as a miller. He is known to have had Margaretha Herrman ( + 1664 ) as his wife and at least one child, Hans Kempf ( 1611 – 1681 ), who lived his whole life in Hildburghausen as a baker and miller. Today there’s a street named Nelkenweg across the Werra River from the west side of Hildburghausen but . . . You may be wondering about Bernhard Kempf’s request to the Bailiff of Heldburg if you remember that 1634 was the 16th year of the Thirty Years Year. Well, the same thing happened to Bernhard. He was made to provide, probably at gunpoint or swordpoint, his horses | THOMÆ, Bernhard (I33053)

| 2696 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb: Yesterday I found this little item about Michael Buchenröder in a 1913 issue of the Familiengeschichtliche Blätter [ Genealogical Bulletins ] at Google Books but it was too small to read in the snippet view with an iPad so I had to use my Mac for an enlargement. The result is barely readable but I transcribed and translated it. It’s about the Rev. Buchenröder’s second wedding. He must have been in a very good mood. After 28 years as a widower, he must have been wondering if, with all his children married and moved out, an old goat like him could ever find his own companion.

| 2697 | From Wilbur Hanson Kalb: Yesterday I found this little item about Michael Buchenröder in a 1913 issue of the Familiengeschichtliche Blätter [ Genealogical Bulletins ] at Google Books but it was too small to read in the snippet view with an iPad so I had to use my Mac for an enlargement. The result is barely readable but I transcribed and translated it. It’s about the Rev. Buchenröder’s second wedding. He must have been in a very good mood. After 28 years as a widower, he must have been wondering if, with all his children married and moved out, an old goat like him could ever find his own companion.

| 2698 | From Wilbur Kalb Very good. I myself wasn’t able to find the funeral sermons of Joachim Mörlin and Helena Langer online but I did find out that a Rev. Michael Mörlin ( 1641 - 1708 ) has an article in the Lithuanian Wikipedia and several academic essays because, although he was a Lutheran Pastor from Germany, he was so interested in the Lithuanian language that he wrote two books about it in 1705 and 1706. They were both in Latin but the subjects - “Is it Necessary to Reform the Lithuanian Language?” and “The Principal Primer About the Lithuanian Language” - are enough to immortalize him in the history books about the Lithuanian language. His Wikipedia article is available in only one language, Lithuanian, but I didn’t need Google Translate to know that “Mykolas Merlinas” was born on the wrong side of the Electorate of Saxony in Olbersleben, a town 11.65 miles ( 18.76 km ) north of Weimar and 63.5 miles ( 102 km ) northeast of Coburg, and studied at the Universities of Leipzig, Jena and Königsberg, and posted to Kauen ( Kaunas in Lithuanian, 1666 - 1667 ), Tilsit and Wischwill ( Tilžė and Viešvilė, 1667 - 1670 ), Insterburg ( Įsrutys, 1670 - 1672 ), and finally Gumbinnen ( Gumbinė, 1672 - 1708 ), where he died. These placenames are in German. In English, they are known, respectively, as Kovno ( before 1990, Kaunas after 1990 ), Sovetsk, Viešvilė, Chernyakhovsk, and Gusev. Kaunas is, of course, in Lithuania, along with Viešvilė, but the others are obviously in Russia as the towns of the Kaliningrad Oblast, formerly the easternmost district of East Prussia. While a funeral sermon does survive for Michael ( published in Königsberg ), his parents are not named by his Wikipedia article. But I found the complete and faithful German transcription of his Leichenpredigt in a Lithuanian essay online and it does name his parents AND grandparents AND great-grandparents. | Mörlin, Michael (I12386)
