According to Mary Christine Smith, a relative and descendant of the Mullins family, David worked for the railroad company and died in tragedy. His personal belongings were auctioned off, in which none of his family could bid on legally. What is known for sure is at the time of his death, Aaron Thomas Stapp was appointed the executor of his estate.

1659 I1326  Born at Ruchheim, Germay about 1690, was living at Scharhof by 1717. In 1720, his father left Ruchheim to join with him and take over one fourth of the tenancy of Hemshof. 64 yar old Jacob and son Johannes were still residing at Hemshof in 1724. Johannes was last recorded there in 1738. 
1660 I13263  According to Carolyn Bening, Eberhard and his family emigrated to New Minden, Illinois in 1855. 
1661 I13265  Moved to Alton, Illinois, from New Minden, Illinois. 
1662 I13275  Lived in Alton, Illinois. 
1663 I1328  According to Philip Mellinger, there are two distinct families....

1. Ulrich Mellinger, Mennonite, and his descendeants, living in the Palatinate beginning in the late 1600s, some came to America later, and;

2. Benedict Mellinger, whose son Johannes has a large family with four sons that came to Pennsylvania in the mid 1700s, most were Reformed/Protestent, and not Mennonite. Benedict, however, was a Mennonite.

Benedict and Hans Ulrich Mellinger were possibly brothers. There may even have been a third brother, William, who left Switzerland in 1653 and came to VA, indicating that perhaps all of the Mellinger brothers left Switzerland at the same time, one to Virginia and two to Germany.

Benedict Mellinge was living in Ruchheim, Germany by 1654, he was still there in the 1690s. Benedict was apparently a Mennonite and from Swtizerland. Benedict was one of seven Palatinate Ministers that signed the letter on 13 March 1694 against Jacob Ammann that served to form the split between the Amish and the Mennonites.

From Goshen College:

A major attempt at reconciliation was made in the second week of March 1694 at a meeting called at Ohnenheim in Alsace at the request of the ministers of the Palatinate, at which both sides were to be represented. Ten men came from Switzerland and seven from the Palatinate, but the number of "Amish" present is now known. When no agreement could be reached, the Amish left the meeting. On the following day the Swiss ministers decided to agree with the Palatines and drafted a joint statement giving the reasons why they could not agree with Jacob Ammann, dated March 13, 1694. The list of signers was as follows: For the Swiss, Hans Reist, Peter Habegger, Ulrich Falb, Niklaus Baltzli, Peter Geiger, Dursch Rohrer, Jakob Schwartz, Daniel Grimmstettler, Ulrich Blatzey: for the Palantines, Jakob gut, Hans Gut, Peter Zolfinger, Christian Holi, BENEDIKT MELLINGER, Hans Heinrich Bar, Hans Rudi Nageli.

From Historic Background and Annals of the Swiss and German Pioneer Settlers of South-Eastern Pennsylvania by Frank Eshleman 1917:

1693--Origin of the Amish Mennonites.

"This year there was a division among the congregations of Mennonites in Berne. A faction of them followed Jacob Ammon, and the remainder remained under the leadership of Hans Reist. The factions were known as the Amish and Reist factions. The parting was quite bitter: each party putting the other under the ban.

The Reist party were the Emmenthalers--that is, their stronghold was in the Thal or valley of the Emmen creek, which lies a short distance northeast of Berne. They held that there should be no emigration or at any rate that they should neither emigrate nor mix with the Amish, who were the Oberlanders (they lived on the Ober or upland regions in Switzerland.) "

From Goshen College:

"From the original documents which have been preserved, it is clear that Jakob Ammann's attempt to force the elders in the Emmental to accept the Meidung (the shunning or avoidance of excommunicated persons) was the chief if not full cause of the division."

As a result of the disagreement, Ammann excommunicated Reist and others. At the end of the meeting, after refusal to accept the meidung by several others, the Ammann party left the building without shaking hands and started their own meeting nearby.

From Goshen College:

"Various attmept swere made by both ministers and lay members to persuade Jakob Ammann to recall his hasty action of excommunication but to no avail. The Palatinate ministers wrote a letter to the Amish asking them to seek a reconciliation.

A major attempt at reconcilation was made in the second week of March 1694 at a meeting called at Ohnenheim in Alsace at the request of the ministers of the Palatinate, at which both sides were to be represented. Ten men came from Switzerland and seven from the Palatinate, but the number of "Amish" present is not known. The Palatines begged the Amish not to continue acting so rashly, but the Amish insisted that the opposing side accept their 3 major points of disagreement. When no agreement could be reached the Amish left the meeting. The following day, the Swiss ministers agreed with the Palatinates and drafted a joint statement giving their reasons for not agreeing with Jakob Ammann, dated Margh 13, 1694, it was signed by BENEDIKT MELLINGER among others. The opposing Palatine ministers were placed under the ban by Jakob Ammann, it is assumed that included among those who were excommunicated was BENEDICT MELLINGER.

Various attempts at reconcilation were undertaken between 1694 and 1698, both by correspondance and in meetings, but all failed. The Amish finally decided they had been too rash with their use of the ban, and accordingly placed themselves under the ban (probably in 1698.)"

From Historic Background and Annals of the Swiss and German Pioneer Settlers of South-Eastern Pennsylvania by Frank Eshleman 1917:

"There are manuscripts upon the division and the discussion resulting from it at the time, in the library of the Reist Mennonites in the Emmenthal or valley. These documents among others, consist of:

A declaration by the servants, elders and deacons from the Palatinate and from Switzerland, who adhered to the Reist faction and who called themselves, "such as can not be in accord with Jacob Ammon, and therefore, his opponents," containing considerable doctrinal controversy. This is signed by those Reist Mennonites who are mentioned in an earlier letter and also by Hans Reist, BENEDICT MELLINGER as well as 4 others from the Palatinate."

Though Ruchheim was "in the Palatinate," it formally fell outside the jurisdiction of the ruler of the Palatinate. Therefore, there was no Mennonite census records that included Ruchheim. This means that many Mennonite Mellinger ancestors at Ruchheim were unaccounted for.

1694 I13350  Robert graduated from Drury College, springfield, MO, in 1971. Plans to go to the University of Missouri Law School. 
1695 I13361  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. 
1696 I13362  Emma's mother died at an early age, and Emma, with the help fo her mother's sister, Sarah, devoted her early life to caring for her father and five younger brothers and two orphaned double cousins - Ernst and Otto Buhrman.

He also was clerk of the session and S. S. Supt.
