| 1176 | Johann and his wife and son H. H. Buhrman came to America in 1852 from Unterlubbe, Westfalen, Preusen -- near Midnen, Germany. Another son, August, was born either on the voyage or shortly after the family's arrival in America. The family departed from Germany about September 1, 1852. They arrived at New Orleans October 28th and at St. Louis November 7th, 1852. The family lived in St. Louis the first year on 8th Street between Washington adn Franklin Avenue. Son Herman H. Buhrman attended the Lutheran School on Franklin Ave. near 10th St. From St. Louis the family moved ot Washington County, Illinois in August 1853. A notation mentions Loui, son of Henrich and August Buhrmann, but no dates of birth and death. Sons Herman and August married Hoffman sisters, thus the offspring of both families were double cousins. August and his wife both died at an early age as did Elizabeth, wife of Herman Henry Buhrman. All the children were broughtr up in H. H. Buhrman's home (northeast corner of Washington adn Lebanon Streets in Nashville) by him and his eldest daughter Erma, and Sarah Hoffman, sister of the two deceased Buhrman wives. They were enroute 9 weeks and 4 days arriving with other immigrants in St. Louis, Missouri Sunday, November 7, 1852. Method of Travel: Unterlubbe to Minden (9 or 10 miles) by wagon, Minden to Bremen by steam railroad. Bremen to Bremerhaven by Steam Boat. September 5th, 1852 embarked in Bremerhaven for New Orleans. La. Duration of ocean trip, 7 weeks and 4 days by three masted sailing ship named President Schmidt. New Orleans, La to St. Louis, Mo. (7 days) arriving Sunday, November 7, 1852. P.S. If my memory serves me correctly, as to hearsay, the destination of a portion of the ships passengers was Evansville and likely other Indiana and Ohio localities. Hence there was a separation of the immigrants at New Orleans. The Indianas, etc. quote would likely take passage on an Ohio river boat after we had departed for St. Louis. Our contingent took a St. Louis boat arriving at St. Louis either during the night of Saturday to Sunday, or early Sunday morning, November 7, 1852. After the transfer to the St. Louis Levee of the passengers and their baggage was completed on that memorial Sunday morning, the "green" Germans found themselves in a distressing condition, while watching their property and waiting for relief, because they could not converse with the natives, nor the latter with them. About noon, two old friends (Henry Bultman and Frederick Meier) arrived on the scene taking charge of all. The baggage was hauled to temporary storing places and all the people were taken to their own and their friends homes and entertained. Of the co-passengers from Germany, I now remember the following who settled in Washington County: Henry Meyer (named little Henry) and a brother, William Fred Kleemann William Konemann, Sr. and family Henry Kieman and family Ernst H. Huffman (named Blase) and family excepting their son, Ernst, who had preceeded his parents to America F. W. Krughoff and family, excepting their two sons, Fred and Louis, who also has preceded their parents to this country. Ernst Weihe, one of the co-passengers on the President Schmidt said that the ship arrived at New Orleans October 28, 1852. Frederick Buhrman and August Steffen remained in New Orleans for a while working at their trade making shoes. They, however, arrived in St. Louis before we (Henry Buhrman and family) departed from that city in August 1853 for Illinois. There is more information regarding the distribution of personal keepsakes from the family included in the Buhrman file. Information from the notebooks of Herman H. Buhrman, son of John Ernst Heinrich Buhrman, found in a folder in the Washington County Historical Society office in Nashville, Illinois. | BUHRMAN JOHANN ERNST HEINRICH (I13361)

| 1177 | Johann and his wife, Anna Maria, were the parents of the first of our Ancestors to come to America. All ten of their children, except those several who were already in America and one who died in infancy in Germany, joined their parents on the trip to America in 1845. The story of this trip occurs in Chapter 1, German History. Johann was christined October 18, 1788, at Bergkirchen, Westfallen, Prussen. He was a soldier in the French/German War (Napoleon War). Johann's wife was always known to us as "Anna Maria Dorthea Schalotte Ilsabein Meier Brink". The Bergkirchen records give her name as Anna Sophie Dorothea Marie Ilsabein Meier. The St. John's Lutheran Church in New Minden, IL. shows her name as Tisabein instead of Ilsabein. In 1945 , there were 56 grandchildren who grew to maturity here and whose progeny down to the eighth generation are now scattered all over the U.S. This information was collected by Minnie Brink Ludwig when she published her Brink History in 1945. Frederick, their son, served several terms in the Illinois Legislature, both as Representative and Senator. Christian's great-great-granddaughter, Martha Keyes, was elected a Representative in Congress from the Second Kansas District. We have not made an attempt at counting the number of descendants as of today. We're satisfied to say the number is very large. In the story of the travels from Germany to Washington County, Illinois, it is mentioned that they sailed by boat up the Mississippi being stopped by ice at Grand Tower. Grand Tower is a rock tower left in place for a bridge which was never built. Tower Rock stands majestically in the Mississippi River still today. | BRINCK JOHANN (ERNST) FRIEDERICH WILHELM (I00024)

| 1178 | Johann Georg Hofmann immigrated to America with all his children during the night from the 26th to the 27th of April 1838. As he wrote in December 1838, he and his Friend Michael Scheid, bought a farm in the state of Ohio, 1 1/2 hrs. from Lancaster.

| 1180 | Johann Jacob Joachim (Yocum) son of Michael Joachim and Anna Maria, was born in Herxheim, Germany circa 1733 and died 1822 in Catawissa, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. He married Maria Christina Mulhaus, daughter of Peter Mulhaus on December 30th 1755 in Lutheran Church, Trappe, Montgomery County Pennsylvania. Jacob and Maria's first three children were baptized at Augustus Lutheran church, 1756-1760. Their names appear in the records of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Pottstown, Pennsylvania in 1770, when their son Jacob was baptized and again in 1782 and 1783 when grandchildren were baptized. A 1785 record shows Jacob Yocum, wheelwright, owner of 235 acres,3 horses, and 3 cows residing in Union Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The 1790 census for Union Township lists Jacob as head of household consisting of 3 males over 16 years of age, 2 mailes under 16 years of age and one female. In 1796 Jacob appears in the first known records of the German Lutheran congregation in Catawissa township, Northumberland County (now Columbia). He continued to appear in the 1800 - 1820 Census records as a resident of Catawissa township. Jacob Yocum's will was written in German January 24th, 1822 and was probated on November lst, 1822 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. His will was translated for recording in the Will Books of Columbia County at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. There are no known birth or death dates for Jacob and his wife Maria Christina. Their place of burial is assumed to be in the old section of the Union Cemetery, Catawissa Township, Pennsylvania. Jacob Yocum and his wife Maria Christina Mulhaus had the following children shown on their family page who are mentioned in his will. By Chuck Ebert | YOCUM JOHANN JACOB (JUACHIM) (I20877)

| 1182 | John and Emma lived for a short time in Salem, Illinois, and then returned to Nashville, where he in partnership with Henry Paul, opened a hardward store sometime before 1900. In 1908, Mr. Paul sold his interest to Frank Gewe and went West for his health. John was one of the original owners of the Hohman Building, which was built in 1913 adn occupied by three Hohman brothers - John; William and Edward. When Edward left Nashville to move to Chicago, his interest in the building was purchased by Dr. George Green, his brother-in-law (husband of Clara Hohman). He occupied on of the upstairs offices until he died. The only remaining member of the Hohman family to occupy the building since the death in 1965 of Howard Hohman is Dr. Edgar Reinhardt, son-in-law of Dr. Green, who, until the building was sold in April of 1971 to Donald Williamson, was part owner. John died in a Mt. Vernon hospital, unexpectedly, following surgery and while seemingly making a good recovery. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1772" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt | HOHMAN JOHN ALBERT (I07294)

By Maxine Musselman From 1979 WASHINGTON COUNTY ILLINOIS HISTORY Per Narratives of Randolph County, Sparta Public Library, Sparta, Illinois. John Auld is the earliest ancestor we have been able to definately claim in this Auld line. Statements of proof are herein given. John Auld was a tax-payer in Rockbridge County, Virginia, in 1804. In August 1814, he and his wife Mary Forsythe Auld, moved to Rich Hill Township, Muskingam County, Ohio. Mary Forsythe's parents, Elijah and Jean Ewing Forsythe were married by Rev. John Cuthbertson in May 1781 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Rev. John Cuthbertson baptised on November 21, 1784, their two children, stating their birthdays in his diary - Mary Forsythe born March 28, 1782 and Ann Forsythe born February 8, 1784. (See Cuthbertsons' Diary - do not have this. wlg) John and wife Mary Forsythe Auld, were two of forty members, who enjoyed the First Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, in the newly organized group of Covenanters near the farm home of Mr. McCutcheon, near Zanesville, Ohio. John was elected a ruling elder there in 1821. In 1836 a church on Sec. 30 was called High Hill Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanter). The pastor was Robert Wallace and two ruling elders were John Auld and Charles Sterrett. We think Charles was father of George, James, William and Joseph Sterrett. (Mr. Young) As John and Mary were about to leave Rockbridge County, Virginia, for their new home in Ohio, two letters of introduction were given them, a copy of which follows: 1) State of Virginia, Rockbridge County. I, the undersigned subscriber, do certify that I have known and have long been acquainted with John Auld and believe him to be a man of inflexible hosesty, confidence and integrity; well disposed toward the General Government of the US and worthy the attention of every good man. He has been a citizen of said county and state from his infancy and his character stands without a blot or blemish. Given under my hand this 19th day of August 1814 John McGorkle Aaron Harper, deputy N. B. Knowing you are about to move to Ohio, I took the liberty to send you this certificate. 2)We the undersigned, have been acquainted personally with John Auld and Mary his wife (the bearer of this) for many years and as far as we know, believe them to be peaceable, good citizens and have supported a good moral character. Rockbridge County, Virginia, the 18th day of August 1814, Signed:Wm. Davidson Robert Davidson Elijah Forsythe Abraham Edmiston John Auld died of tuberculesis November 9, 1842 and is buried in the McNaughton Cemetery in Sec. 29, near the graves of his neighbor and friend, Charles Sterrett and his wife Jane McNaughton Sterrett. At the time of John Auld's death, he and wife Mary, owned 120 acres of land in Sec. 30 SE1/2 in Rich Hill Township, Muskingam County, Ohio. Mary and her son James later sold the homestead to Mrs. Jane Forsythe Wilson, a widow of Samuel Wilson. Jane was afflicted with palsey of the hands. She and her sons kept well the farm. The youngest son remained on the farm till accidently killed. My father, Wm. Reynolds Auld, a grandchild of John Auld, stated to me, his daughter, that he recalled some good times he had at play on a chain and pole swing in the timber, just across the road from the house on the homestead. Also that he remembered that the water was drawn by a windlass and pulley, from a spring, up to the back porch of the house. And that the church, known as the South Branch Coventer Church, could be seen from the house, Mrs. Wilson paid $4000 for the farm. John and Mary's son William Auld came to Washington County, Illinois some time before the widow Mary, who with her son James and daughter Ann came to Illinois in 1857. They settled on a farm on the ridge about 2 miles West of Oakdale, Illinois, later known as the Petrashek place and still later known as the McClay place it being just North of the Harold Auld farm. (1957) The widow Mary and son James and daughter Ann came to Illinois on a train, arriving at Richview, Illinois. There they discovered that Ann's trunk was missing. But quite some time later (in 1960) the trunk was located at Claremont, Illinois, with most of its contents gone. This home farm, on the ridge, was bought of James H. Jamison, October 10, 1857, SW SE Sec. 9 to Jamest Auld and Lot 2 Sec. 16 Twp3 SE R4W. The widow Mary Auld died of cancer of the nose and is buried in Oakdale, Illinois Cemetery, as are her daughter Ann and sons William and James and many descendants. The following information regarding the Auld homestead in Ohio, comes from Fred J. Nethers, Recorder, Muskingam County, Ohio. Zanesville, Ohio, November 1937 In 1832 John Auld purchased from the administrators of the Wm. Forsythe estate, the S 1/2 of SE 1/4 of Sec. 30 Twp 13, R 11. This land was sold by order of court to pay a claim against the estate of William Forsythe, for the price of 3 pounds of gunpowder, sold by a man by the name of Leach, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. (Had William Forsythe been in the Revolutionary War?) In 1839 John Auld purchased from James Armstrong 79.81 acres, this being the N 1/2 of SE 1/4 of Sec. 30, Twp 13 R 11. The children of John and Mary Auld were Jane, Elizabeth, John, William, Mary, James and Ann. These will be found in the genealogy. A daughter of William was Mrs. Elizabeth Beall, who lived in Oakdale, Illinois in her later days and she was a very interesting person. She kept a diary of important doings in and around town, for many years. This diary was last known to be in the possession of the family of William Carson in Oakdale, Illinois. She took active part in church and community life and in her younger days was a one room, country school teacher. I found this record of her teaching days written in her hand writing, naming her pupils which I will copy here. My first school, taught 3 mo. began 7/4/1853, taught in log school house, near the Sparta - Nashville road, near Thomas McClurken's, in Elkhorn Prairie, near Oakdale, Illinois.

| 1189 | John Carson and Elizabeth Carson were married at Elkhorn in 1849. Both of them had migrated from Ireland, seeking the greater opportunities of the New World. John Carson was born in the town land of Crievagh, County Monaghan, in 1830, the son of John and Elizabeth Moffett Carson. He died at Oakdale in 1800. Elizabeth Carson was born in Lac Livery, also in County Monaghan, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Wilson Carson. She died at Oakdale June 23, 1889 of lockjaw. John came to America in 1846 and settled on the land in Pilot Knob Township where Preston Carson now lives. Elizabeth came to New York in 1848, and after working there for some months, made the journey by the Erie Canal, the Great Lakes, the Ohio Canal to Cincinnati, and the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, to St. Louis; and from there by a three-day wagon trip to Oakdale. John Carson had two brothers, Thomas (who did not marry) and Richard (who died an infant). He had four sisters, Eliza, who married John McClay; Nancy, who married David McClay; Jane, who married Samuel McCloy; and Isabella, who married John McCloy. Elizabeth Carson had five brothers who lived to adulthood: Henry, William, John, Thomas, and Isaac; and four sisters, Ann Carson Carson, Jane Carson Montgomery, Mary Carson Smith, and Eleanor Carson McCloy. All of her family except Thomas migrated to Illinois, settling near Oakdale or in the vicinity of Staunton. At last her parents came, too, and spent their last years in America. Ella Carson died July 30, 1890 shortly after she came to U.S. In the next generation two of Thomas's daughters came, Jennie Carson McClay and Margaret Carson McFate. John and Elizabeth Carson and their family were all active members in the Oakdale Reformed Presbyterian Church; two of their grandchildren became Reformed Presbyterian ministers, Rev. Charles T. Carson, son of William Henry -- (Elizabeth Ramsey Carson) and Rev. Melville K. Carson, son of David P. (Eleanor Kennedy Carson). They had six children, two of whom died in infancy (Mary Carson, b. April 15, 1850, d. August 8, 1852; John Carson, b. March 15, 1851, d. December 17, 1853). The four surviving sons were: William Henry Carson, who married Elizabeth Ramsey; he was a farmer near Oakdale. They had six sons; Edwin, Waldo, Charles, Willard, Roy, and Floyd.

| 1191 | John E. Haun was born in Tennessee, August 15, 1842 and died near Hoyleton on December 28, 1914. He came to the Hoyleton area, Washington County, probably in 1857. His adult years were spent on a farm south of Hoyleton. Pleasant Grove Methodist Church was built on a corner of his land. He was a faithful member of his church and served many years as superintendent of the JSunday School. John was the first president of the Hoyleton German State Bank which was organized November 3, 1906 and remained president until his death. John E. was the oldest son of Adam Haun and Mary Ann Elliott. On November 13, 1864 he married Mary Ann Newman (1843-1876) daughter of Martin Newman. To this union were born Ada, married August Cohlmeyer (a former sheriff of Washington County); Jennie married George Cohlmeyer; Elmer married Luella Farmer (1874-1908), and Annabelle Allen; Bert married Mary Rainey; and Melvin married Mary E. Poole. On January 3, 1878 John E. married Mary Elizabeth Newman, daughter of John Newman and Hester Ann House, born April 21, 1853 in Washington County near Richview and died at Beaucoup on February 8, 1934. John E. and Elizabeth are both buried in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Beaucoup Twp. To this union were born two children, James Wesley who lived only three years, and Mary Alma who was born south of Hoyleton on October 16, 1881 and died at the same place April 4, 1932. She is buried in the North Prairie Cemetery in Hoyleton Twp. On March 30, 1904, Alma married William Peithman, son of Herman and Louise (Schnake) Peithman. William was born December 22, 1878 on the Peithman-Schnake farm also south of Hoyleton. William and Alma lived on the farm with her parents for about four years. They purchased a farm in Richview Twp and lvied there until her father, John Haun, died. They moved with their family back to the Haun Homestead in 1915. This was the family home until 1979 when William at age of 92 went to Friendship Manor at Nashville. He was privileged to celebrate his centennial birthday on December 22, 1978. William and Alma were the parents of six children - Harlan and Mollie (Liese) Peithman, living at Normal, Illinois; Lois and Elmer Groennert, living in rural Nashville; bernice and Don Richert, living in Belvidere, Illinois; Elva and Ed Rhea, living in rural Waverly, Illinois; Marvin and Ruth (Rumig) Peithman, living in rural Richview; and Muriel and Wesley Brink, living in Belleville, Illinois.

| 1194 | John Ernst Hoffman - b. Aug. 12, 1808 - d. March 11, 1862 - m. March 8, 1836 Magdaline Bruners - b. in Wuertemberg, Germany - d. May 9, 1939 in Lancaster, Ohio. 2 children - John Peter - William Alexander. John Ernst was born in Rothenufeln, near Minden, in the province of Westphalia in northern Germany. St. Paul's Evangelical Church records, Nashville, IL revealthat he came to the U.S. in 1832 and settled in Lancaster, Ohio. 2nd marriage on June 24, 1839 was to Catherine (also Hoffman) - no relation of Erdmannhausen, Wuertemberg in southern Germany. they were married in Lancaster, Ohio. They had 10 children. Marriage records in the library of Fairfield Co. (Lancaster) Ohio give the date of marriage of John Hoffman to Magdaline Bruners as March 8, 1836. St. Paul's Evangelical Church records, Nashville, Illinois coroborate this, adding that she was from Wuertemberg, Germany and died May 9, 1939 in Lancaster. John and Magdaline were the parents of two sons, John Peter - born January 13, 1837 and William Alexander - born December 29, 1837. About a month after Magdaline's death, he married Catherine, also Hoffman, whose full name as provided by the family tree from Erdmannhausen, Germany, was, Maria Justina Katharina. Records kept by members of the family indicate that John E. and Catherine together with John's two little boys came to Washington Co., Illinois in 1840. Land grant records of Washington Co. Historical Museum show that he purchased farm land from the federal gov't on December 30, 1839 for $1.25 an acre. the gov't had passed a law in 1820 making this possible - with the stipulation that all sales must be cash. This farm, now owned by the Albert Schorfhiede's is southwest of Nashville. I had until recently, believed that it was here that their 10 children were born. Records of St. John's Lutheran Church, New Minden, with their very earliest family groupings list Frederick, Anna, and Elisabeth as being born at New Earliest records of St. John's New Minden list as charter members in 1846 Fred, John, and William Hoffman. John had the privilege of being a charter member of two churches - St. John's, New Minden in 1846 and St. Paul's Evangelical Nashville in 1854. In early years, the family also attended the Nashville Prairie Ev. Church (I have been told it was also called St. Luke's). In 1854, when St. Paul's was founded, records indicate he was one of the organizers - charter member and elected elder for 4 years. Several cousins have visited Germany and brought back information about Catherine and her family. In addition, Catherine's daughter, Sarah who lived to be 88, was able to tell much about the family. Catherine was born June 16, 1818 in Erdmannhausen, a small village near Stuttgart in Wuertemberg in southern Germany, in a section known as Swabia. Sarah said her mother was always homesick for Swabia and spoke frequently of being in "scho" nen (beautiful) Schwabenland". Elmo Hohman, who visited this area said this was understandable, for Erdmannhausen is a beautiful country, consisting of high hills or small mountains, representing the outlying foothills of the Swiss and Bavarian Alps. In 1958, on one of Elmo's visits to the church and parsonage, the minister got out the early books and pointed out the actual entry of the date when Catherine, together with her parents, Johannes and Eva (nee Pommer) and her brothers and sisters emigrated to the U.S. This was in 1832 - the year after the birth and death of her youngest sister - Maria Dorothea. They settled in Lancaster, Ohio, having come by sailing ship from Bremen, Germany to Philadelphia, and then by wagon to Lancaster. A ciary tells of Hoffmans landing in Philadelphia on a Christmas morning with Church bells ringing, after a sailing voyage of many weeks. We are not sure just which Hoffmans this was. Some 20 or more years ago when a cousin stopped at Lancaster to attend a family reunion, which for a number of years were held yearly, he found well over 100 Hoffmans - descendants of these Hoffmans. One, David, at that time was manager of Wiseman Dept. Store there. In spite of repeated efforts, I have learned very little about Catherine's brothers and sisters and double cousins and their families, many of whom, I believe, have remained in the Lancaster area. At least we know Catherine was the only one of her immediate family to come to Washington Co. as her daughter Sarah, in a letter to her nephew, George, wrote that her mother was the only one of the family to come here. Marriage and death records in Lancaster, have provided a little help. I ahve also learned that some are buried in the old Myers Cemetery, east of Lancaster in Berne Township. Included among these are a Johannes Hoffman - b. July 13, 1791 - d. Apr. 16, 1872 and wife Eva - b. 1795 d. July 20, 1876 - we believe these to be the same John and Eva who are Catherine's parents - also Johann Georg - b. Dec. 17, 1814 - d. Sept. 23, 1893 - Johann Fredrich - b. March 1816 - d. 1894 and Eva Magdalen Hoffman Sutter and John J. Sutter. Lutheran Minister - sons one 2 years old (no name on tombstone - at least not legible) d. Oct. 4, 1867 - and one 4 years old d. Oct 5, 1867. We have learned that the Sutters were the parents of at least 2 more children through family notes - they were Anna and Emma - last address Bellvue, Ohio. Eva was born Jan. 20, 1829 - m. Dec. 19, 1853 - no date of d. The Lutheran Church in Erdmannhausen that Catherine attended as a girl has a baptismal font that dates back to 1494 and in 1969, when visited by Harold Hohman, had a membership of 2300. Lancaster, Ohio, the Hoffmans first home in America, had been founded abnout 1800, by Co. Ebenezer Zane, famous merchant, trailblazer, prioneer and soldier of Wheeling. It was called New Lancaster at the request of Emanuel Carpenter, who came from Lancaster, Penn., as did many of the predominately early settlers. Thanks to a cousin, Harold Hohman, who brought back a family tree from Erdmannhausen in 1969, we can trace Catherine's family back to 1662. I am including this tree as given to me, only translated into English. On page 10 is a photostatic copy of the record of naturalization of John Hoffman, as it appears in Court Journal 13, page 129, dated the 8th day of Sept., 1838. I am very grateful to Elmer Hoffman of Washington D.C., a distant cousin, for securing this and sending it to me.

| 1195 | John Fred William Hoffmann purchased 55 acres for his son carl but he died shortly after coming to America. This land then was donated to St. John's on the day of its charter, November 8, 1846. Deeds for the land are dated August 23, 1847 (10 acres on the west side), and March 5, 1862 (the other 45 1/2 acres). Most of this land is still owned by the Congregation today; the buldings are situated on the ten acres to the west. Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Hoffmann was born Feb. 9, 1785, at Rothenufeln, in the Province of Westphalia, in Northern Germany. He was the only son of Johann Ernst Hoffmann and Anne Marie Christine (nee Blasen) Hoffmann. On June 18, 1803, he was married to Anne Marie Engel, who was born March 3, 1784 at Luttern, Bauerschaft, Haddenhausen, Germany. The groom was 18 years old at the time of their marriage and the bride 19. They were the parents of ten children -all born in Rothenufeln. They are: Johann Heinrich - Johann Friedrich Wilhelm - Johann ernst - Marie Christine - Sophie Marie Elisabeth - Friedrich Wilhelm - Marie Christine Louise - Christian Friedrich Wilhelm - Anne Marie Louise - Christian Carl Ludwig. In 1838 a number of families from the Minden area left Germany and came to the United States. The leaders of this group, according to the obituary of Fred Ellerbusch, now in the possession of Miss Sarah Grefe, were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hoffman, who already had two sons who had settled in America - one in New York (have no further information on this) - and one in Lancaster, Ohio. The later was probably John E. as we have a copy of his naturalization paprs dated 1838 - record of his marriage in Lancaster in 1836 in addition to other things. Also know Frederick was married in Lancaster in 1839 so he also could have been there. In the group was Fred Ellerbusch, the Herman Collmeyers and others. It is said the group stopped first in Lancaster, but upon hearing of cheap land in Washington Co., Illinois, decided in 1840 to move on. they traveled by covered wagon and got as far as Carlyle, Illinois, when they had to stop so Mrs. Herman Collmeyer, daughter of Fred Hoffman, could give birth to their first child, a daughter - Louise. After a delay of three weeks they moved on to Washington Co. and settled south of what is now New Minden. Fred Ellerbusch had been a carpenter in Germany and when he settled in America, used this talent to build all the log cabins in the area. In one of these homes, believed to have been occupied originally by the Fred Hoffman's, now owned by the Carl Krughoff's, one can still see the log cabin, although the wall is now about 1 foot thick, having had several layers of other materials put around it over the years. The Hoffman's and their descendants apparently acquired much farm land between New Minden and Nashville, as well as some north and west. this is not surprising as our Historical Museum shows much of it was purchased from the Federal Government for $1.25 an acre in 1840. Herman Collmeyer had a farm for each of his 3 sons - 1 - the Melvin Collmeyer farm is now owned by the 4th generation Collmeyer. the other 2, which are adjoining are owned by Theodore Grefe, whose wife was a descendant, and the one to the north of it, now owned by Harold Reuter was until a few years ago, owned by Collmeyers. Across the highway from the Melvin Collmeyer farm is what was originally the Frederick Hoffman farm - now the Walter Nieman farm - also a Collmeyer descendant. Farms to the north and west are still owned by descendants of William Hoffman. To the northeast is the farm once owned by Frederick Hoffman and his wife Anne (my great-great grandparents.) The meeting to organize a church and find a name for their new settlement was held on what is now the Melvin Collmeyer farm, November 8, 1846. The name chosen for the settlement was New Minden and St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church of New Minden came into being. Fred Hoffman Sr. donated a tract of land - said to be 55 acres to the congregation for a church and other buildings and a "burying ground". The deed is dated Aug. 23, 1847. I have been told this land was purchased for Fred's son, Carl, who had died at the age of 19 in 1846. this is Christian Carl Ludwig Hoffman who is buried on what is now the Carl Krughoff farm. Mrs. C. Krughoff remembers that there were at least two other grames there - probably the boys parents - Fred and Anne (nee Engel) Hoffman. Although we have searched - have not been able to locate these graves. Following is the record of the deed of the property to St. John's. Since it is impossible to get a photostatic copy of this deed, I have tried to copy it and the sworn statement that the Hoffmans gave the ground willingly, exactly as it appears in Deed Record Washington Co., Book E, PP.436, as to wording, spelling, capital letters etc. Apparently Anne Marie could not read or write English as it has her mark.
