Notes:

Louise Peithmann (March 13, 1833 - May 27, 1873) was married March 3, 1849 to Louis Huck in Bergkirchen (Rothenuffeln) (May 14, 1827 - July 21, 1885). The second son of Colon (farmer) Heinrich Friedrich Christian Huck and Sophie Marie Elisabeth, Nee Meyer. An official entry in the church record-book a note is included to the effect that the newly married couple planned to emigrate to the U.S.A. The couple indicated that they would settle in Hoyleton Township (Washington County) in the State of Illinois. Here in the North Prairie they would devote themselves to farming. In 1853, they received a land-grant from the then, President Pierce. Up until 1880 they acquired additional acreage. They bought parcels of land of neighboring farms, as well as from the Railroad Association, the Illinois Central Railroad. The price per acre fluctuated somewhere between $4.00 per acre and $36.00 per acre. A portion of the money needed, the couple borrowed at a rate of 8-10% rate of interest. The couple had 9 children born to them in Hoyleton Township.

When Louis Huck died in 1885, he owned approximately 600 acres. The farm was divided among 5 children: Louis, Henry, Elisabeth, John and Lydia. So that each inherited pproximately 120 acres. Two of those farms are today still in possession of descendents of Louis Huck and Louise nee Peithmann.

Notes from a letter to Morris Huck from Lothar Teikemeyer of Bonn, Germany.

The woman of Louis was a Peithmann-descendant. As this she comes froma double marriage between the families Peper and Peithmann. But the marrying Pepers had different mothers. My ancestor line is from the Peper-son, who was child of anna Marie Elisabeth Wiethop (1773 - 1806), the first husband of Johann Ernst Hermann Peper, Hilferdingsen 9 (1767 - 1844). Your line, by the Peper-daughter, is from Gesine (Christiane) Louise Siebe (or Sieben) (1780 - 1845), who was married by Peper in 1807. Probably this Siebe was a daughter of Johann Gottfried Siebe (1738 - ), auf Wentrups Hof, Uffeln 56 (Tothenuffeln), called 1768 "freier Burgshof", who married some daughters around that time to some farmers in the region. The mother was - only probably again - a Volckmann. There is more known about this Siebe and also about this Volckman, but I don't know, if this is really the father of your ancestor. The Wentrup Hof was a special farm house, it was not comparable to the other farms. Originally it was the home of the Vogt, an higher adminstrator, but this function was not relevant in the late 18th century. The marriages of the other Siebe-daughters were "rich marriages".
J. E. H. Peper himself also have his riddles, as some data of this Ortssippenbuch contradict each other, So we don't know for sure, if his father was Johann Friedrich or Johann Hinrich Peper ( * 1745 - ), who was married to Ann Margaretha Peper "aus Eickhorst" (the name Peper for the woman is no error, it seems to be her birthname). Or, this contradicting data refer to two different persons, who both married a Peper-daugher "aus Eickhorst" in a common case of double marriage between Peper and Peper. About the parents of this Peper-daughters "aus Eickhorst" we don't know anything. Our ancestor Peper (Johann Hinrich or Johann Friedrich) was borne 1745 in Hilferdingsen 9 as it was the place of his son, and the son of this son, who became mine (not yours) ancestor. His father was Johann Hinrich Droste "auf Pepers Staette" (same address) (1692 - ) and Anna Margaretha Ilsabe Meyer (1712 - 1755). This Droste became heir of the Peper-household (probably in 1725, at the own marriage day), cause this marriage of an aunt with the original Peper-owner ended childless. Another son of this Droste married in 3rd marriage in the year 1800 Caroline Hohne, later woman of the invading Peithmann 1806 and therefore ancestor of our lines. At that time this son called himself Ober-Rodekopf, cause he had married before (1859) a daughter of this household (Oberster Rokop), which later became the Peithmann-household Unterlubbe 16 and was largely shown in the Peithmann-papers.
A. M. I. Meyer was really 13 years old, when she married the 33 year old Droste. Her parents are Johan Meyer auf HInrichs Meyers Staette (1678 - 1744), Kohlte 4 (Unterlubbe), and Anna Maria Kottmeyer, 1687 - 1739, and she has a lot of other ancestors, for instance this Ernst Spilker, that I already told about, and a Hinrich and a Toennies Kottmeyer, who had the role of a "Amtsuntervogt", a sort of adminstrator under these farmers.
From the Unterluebbe addresses, around 40 houses in 18th century, you find in the genealogy table the first 9 and some more, such indicating that our ancestors were "rich" farmers, who married their chldren with each other. Naturally some persons appear in double function in the genealogy table. This Ernst Spilker, I told about, is 4x my ancestor for instance, as 4 of his children did lead into my line.
Actually there is one special interest of mine. One Spilker did come from America and married an aunt of mine (after the war). Later they divorced and he left again. His 2 sons, my cousins, did grow up in Rostock. Did you ever hear that a Spilker did leave Unterluebbe to go to America in the emigration time of your ancestors?

According to a transfer deed dated 11 Mar 1864, my great-grandfather, Louis
Huck purchased a 40-acre tract of land (SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 32,
Hoyleton Twp.) from Louis & Louise Wehking a few years after emigrating
from Prussia (now part of Germany - around Minden in Westfalia). The Huck
family still owns this land - indeed it was part of the farm upon which I
grew up.
As a child growing up in the late 1930's, I remember an elderly gentleman
(also named Louis Wehking - probably a son of Louis and Louise). He was
the official bell-ringer at North Prairie Methodist Church - more than
likely given this job because his home was directly across the road from
the church-yard, meaning he could be depended upon to ring the bell
promptly and reliably in all kinds of weather and other emergencies. The
North Prairie cemetery has several Wehking gravestones, from which one
could reliably document birth and death dates.
My 1973 Washington County Plat Book shows Waldo and Theodosia Wehking as
owners of the 160 acre tract of land in Section 20, Hoyleton Twp - just
northwest of the North Prairie Cemetery, formerly owned by the younger
Louis Wehking. (Waldo Wehking was his son). Like many of my
contemporaries, Waldo and Theodosia moved away from the North Prairie
community to find employment elsewhere as consolidation of family farms
continued following World War II.

Notes:

The greater part of Edward's and Opal's married life has been spent working the Huck Farms in Hoyleton Twp., one mile southwest of Huegely Station. The Missouri and Illinois Railroad runs through their farm. Near the track, one-fourth mile east of the residence, is a well, which is all that remains of Popp Station (1896), named for Mr. Popp who had a general store at the site. Henry Huck was postmaster there. Later the station was moved one-half mile up the track to be used by Huegely Milling Company as a grain-buying station. Soon Huegely Station grew to a general store, post office, blacksmith shop, brickyard, creamery, elevator, and a few homes. the houses remain, but the business places are gone. A sawmill, now in operation, replaced the creamery and the brickyard.
Interstate 64 was built through Huck Farms in 1974. An irrigation system was installed on the farm in 1975 as a joint venture by the owner and the present tenants, Lloyd and Virgil Spenner. There are five miles of undergr
ound pipe and four pressure pumping units.
