| 711 | I05513 | 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. The above from "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |
| 712 | I05515 | William was a farmer, also worked as a carpenter. |
| 713 | I05517 | Fred was a store keeper in Nashville, Illinois. |
| 714 | I0552 | Reuben served in the Civil War Battery A First MO Light Atry from 11/25/1864 to 1865. He married four times, first to Caroline Hawk, then Elizabeth Carty, then Mary Goggin in 1886, and finally Sarah unknown. |
| 715 | I0552 | [mccullar.ftw] R. Frank Rowsey was her cousin and son of Mary and George Rowsey. |
| 716 | I05526 | 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.

Joseph Wells (Seal) Above information from "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt The names and dates of birth of the children of Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Hoffman and his wife, - nee Engel - were provided by Pastor Muller of Bergkirchen, Germany and taken from that church's records. |
| 717 | I05528 | William (the name he was called after he came to America) was born at Rothenufeln, Germany, and died in the New Minden area. His wife, the former Caroline Schrieber, whom he married in 1843, also was from Germany - Russbend, near Preusche (also spelled Preusz and Preuss) Minden. William and Caroline are buried in St. John's Cemetery, New Minden. They are buried side by side, instead of in a row in order of death, as was customary in this old cemetery. Their lot is also in a prominent spot near the center. Members of the family think this distinction was made because the land for the church and cemetery had been a gift of William's father. This would seem a logical conclusion. We assume William came to America in 1838 with his parents. At any rate he was married here in 1843 and became a charter member of St. John's in 1846. The William Hoffmans son, Johann C. H. (called Herman) was killed by lightning, when he was 17 years old. This was a real tragedy to the family, especially since he was the third son to die. Herman is said to have been driving a wagon, some distance from his home when lightning struck, but the horses made their way home without a driver.

| 719 | I05531 | Elisabeth and Herman were among the group who came from Germany to the U.S. in 1838 and are believed to have been married in Germany. Their first home was Lancaster, Ohio, but in 1839 they heard of cheap land in Illinois and several of the men rode horseback to Illinois to investigate. Finding the stories true, they purchased land in Southern Illinois, in what is now Washington Co., between what later became New Minden and Nashville, Illinois. Our Washington Co. Historical Museum has a record of these purchases made from the Federal Gov't on Dec. 29, 1839, for $1.25 an acre. The men then returned to Lancaster to bring their families to Illinois. They travelled in covered wagons, stopping along the way tow ash their clothes in creeks. They had hoped to reach their new home before the birth of Elisabeth and Herman's first baby but were only able to make it to the vicinity of Carlyle. Here their daughter Louise was born in a covered wagon. Elisabeth was attended by a Carlyle doctor and the baby was baptized by a Carlyle minister. After a layover of 3 weeks, the group continued their journey. Elisabeth lived a long and useful life and was said to be a very pious individual, who, in later years, when her children and grandchildren came to see her, always had a little prayer with them before they left. The story is also told by some members of the family, that at the time of her death, the hired hand who was in the barn milking, knew she had passed away because a stream of light could be seen coming from Heaven to the house. The Collmeyers were able to provide a farm for each of their three sons - two of which are still in possession of their descendants. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |
| 720 | I05533 | Eleven children - three died at an early age. |
| 721 | I05535 | Christine was born on the Collmeyer farm between New Minden and Nashville and baptised by a Methodist minister in Nashville, as the Lutheran pastor was 25 miles away (probably in Venedy) and this was an emergency. Christine and Henry were married in St. John Lutheran Church in New Minden and then bought farmland in the Hoyleton area for $8.00 an acre. He was a charter member of the Hoyleton Lutheran Church and served as first deacon and janitor of that church. In 1917, when the church celebrated its 50th anniversary, he was one of 3 surviving charter members. He was 79 at the time of his death. Although Christine lived to be 83, she was totally blind the last 7 years of her life - said to be the result of unsuccessful cataract surgery. She was cared for by her youngest daughter, Lena (Carolina) who never married. Although unable to see, she was able to find her way around the house unaided, even in her declining years, and was very proficient at such tasks as peeling potatoes. |

| 725 | I0556 | [mccullar.ftw] Harold McMinn had married first Amanda Jane Pate and they had several children, two of which will show later in the McCullar family, so we will give them here. William (Bill) McMinn, who married Amanda Hill, a daughter of Mary (Polly) McCullar and Merrill Hill, They were the parents of Mrs. Alice Ward, who lived at Hereford, Tx. She published a book on the McMinn family. (she died several years ago). Abraham McMinn married Susan Emline Hill, a sister to Amanda Hill who married Bill McMinn.

| 728 | I05598 | William Adams was born in County Antrim, near Ballymoney, Ireland, in 1809. He came to America in 1836, worked in Philadelphia, Pa. for six years, at $6.00 per month, and saved enough money to return to Ireland. In 1842, he married Mary Getty. He brought her and his father and mother, James and Martha Adams, to America, settling in Grandcote Prairie, now known as Swanwick, Illinois. Teh father and mother lived only three years, after settling in Grandcote Prairie, dying three days apart. They are buried in the Oakdale cemetery. In 1845, William Adams moved to a farm southeast of Oakdale. He bought the 240 acre farm from Alexander and Lucy Hodge for $900. Nine children were born to William and Mary Getty Adams. Two died in infancy. Their names were William and David Hunter. The seven remaining children were Martha Ann, who married James Piper; James Moore, who married Rachel McEwen; John, who married Rosie Allen; Mary Jane, who married William McClurkin; Wlliam Getty, who married Elizabeth Robison; Hannah never married; and Margaret Elizabeth, who married William Lawson. The two brothers, James and John, mentioned above, traveled to Nebraska with their families in covered wagons. On one wagon was a large hay rack filled with pieces of furniture and necessities. The other wagons were filled with lumber bought at the last town passed through, to be used in constructing their homes and church. They lived in dugouts until their homes were built. Services were held in their homes until the church was completed. The first sermon was preached in the John Adams house in 1880. Other families moved in from Iowa and other states to the area, making quite a group in the new church. William Adams died January 4, 1892. There was a blizzard on the day of his funeral, with drifting snow. it was so severe that ice had to be picked off the horses' eyelids, so that they could see the road. The body was taken to the Oakdale cemetery in a big sleigh. After the death of William Adams, William Getty, the seventh child, bought the home farm aforementioned, and married Elizabeth Robinson of Coulterville, Illinois May 26, 1892. To this union were born Roscoe, Edna, Oren, Mary and Paul. Roscoe married Florence Klene of Oakdale. They had one child Opal Irene. Edna married Elwyn carson of Oakdale. They had three children, Eileen, Preston, and Joann. The Carson family history is found elsewhere in this book. Oren married Elizabeth Herche, having no children. Mary married Edward Bernreuter of Nashville, Illinois. They have an adopted daughter Carol who married Peter Lutz of Anna, Illinois. One daughter named Marguerite was born to this union. Peter died in 1969. Mary and Edward have a son (not adopted) Neill Valdes, who is an orthopedic surgeon in Carbondale, Illinois. He married Diann Richardson of St. Louis, Missouri, and they have three children. Their names are Becky, Wesley and Wendy. Paul, the youngest child of William Getty and Elizabeth Robinson, died at the age of 13, in 1925, having been injured by a horse while putting up hay in the barn of a farmer near Oakdale, Illinois. William Getty Adams moved to the village of Oakdale in 1917, having lived for 60 years on the home farm, where he was born. The oldest son Roscoe took over the farm. William Getty died in 1926. He had been elder in the Reformed Presbyterian church for 37 years and was buried in the Oakdale cemetery. By Mary Adams Bernreuter |
