  • Notes 
    • In the church records for the death of Johann Ludwig Thomæ it lists his survivors. It lists his two sons Lorenz and Lorenz; five daughters Anna Margaretha, Barbara, Margaretha Barbara, and Dorothea. It the church records it lists a Lorenz Thomæ Sr. and a Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. While I have always thought this to be a father son relationship, it is not. Instead it refers to the two Lorenzs in the same family.

      But then I noticed that, in 1853 and 1854, the Regierungs- und Intelligenzblatt für das Herzogthum Coburg [Admininstrative and Intelligence Bulletin for the Duchy of Coburg] was running announcements about the people who were leaving Sonnefeld, Frohnlach and Ebersdorf for "Nordamerika". On Issue No. 66, Saturday, 19 August 1854, it mentioned two of your ancestors, side by side, on the same page. I've attached for you the copy of the top halves of the two pages in the original German. Here is the English translation of the following announcements:

      Emigration of Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten toNorth America.

      Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against her should be made known immediately.

      Sonnefeld, 14 August 1854.
      Ducal Office of Justice of Saxe-Coburg
      R. Rose.

      Emigration of the Potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten to NorthAmerica.

      The potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against him should be made known immediately.

      Sonnefeld, 14 August 1854.
      Ducal Office of Justice of Saxe-Coburg
      R. Rose.

      In 1778 Johann Paul Thomæ was living in House 51a in Hofstädten. In 1811 after the death of Johann Paul it came into the possession of Johann Ernst Thomæ and his wife Sabine. After the death of Maria Savina nee’ Bechmann Thomæ in into the possession of Johann Ludwig Thomæ. And Barbara Thomæ was awarded the Brennhaus. In 1835 Johann Ludwig came into possession of both House 51a and 51b. In 1852 the house came into the possession of Lorenz Thomæ, Sr. and in 1844 passed into the house of Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. Finally in 1854 it came into the possession of Ludwig Thomæ, Sr. (the father of the potter). Then in 1855 in passed to Margaretha Thomæ and her brothers and sisters. So I come to the conclusion that Lorenz Thoma immigrated to America after the death of this father in 1854.
