• Notes

  George Triller, Pülvermacher [ powder maker ], moved to Freyberg ( now Freiberg, District of Mittlelsachsen, Saxony, Germany ), the center of ore mining for centuries, in the Electorate of Saxony and had two sons — Burchard Triller, the Pülvermacher [ powder maker ] who stayed in Freyberg and became the ancestor of Dr Daniel Wilhelm Triller of Usingen, Hesse, and Peter Triller, who left for Torgau.  When Princes Ernst and Albrecht divided their father’s lands in 1485, Freiberg went with the Duchy of Saxony to Albrecht.  But Grünhain, Graba, Saafeld  and Torgau, along with Coburg, Hildburghausen, Frohnlach and Sonnefeld, all went with the Electorate of Saxony to Ernst.  Torgau itself became the principal residence of Ernst’s two sons, Frederick the Wise and John the Steadfast, and John’s son, John Frederick the Maganimous.  It was also the epicenter of the Reformation.  Of it, Martin Luther wrote, “Wittenberg ist die Mutter, Torgau die Amme der Reformation [ Wittenberg is the mother, Torgau the wet-nurse of the Reformation ]”
