| 852 | I06577 | Notes from Bill Sealover (Sept. 1999): My great grandfather was born in Walkers Creek, Virginia with his children being born in Bells Valley, Rockbridge County, Virginia. At some point in time they moved to Craigsville, Virginia. His name was Sylvester Zimbro b.October 1854 m.February 21, 1883 to Lucy Cica Thompson. He was a brick mason and farmer. I have been tracking down the Zimbros and have come across the information on George Solomon with his children born in Craigsville, Virginia. Perhaps his father and my great-grandfather were brothers. I still have relatives in Virginia and since George died in 1947 in Craigsville, they should have known him. Craigsville is a very small town with my relatives buried at Lebanon Presbyterian Church located outside of Craigsville. There is a cemetery in Craigsville though but I at the present, I do not know of any Zimbros buried there. The 1900 census shown my great-grandfather in Walkers Creek District in Rockbridge County, 1910 in Augusta County where Craigsville is located. George and Minnie are in the 1910 census for Augusta County also. Hopefully you can provide some additional information. I have lots of Zimbo's but have not been able to connect them yet to my great-grandfather. "Bill Sealover" |
| 853 | I06589 | Dr. Edward Bernreuter, a brother of George and Louis Bernreuter, was a son of Dr. Conrad Bernreuter of Nashville, IL. Edward was born in 1859, died in 1905 in Mt. Olive, Il., where he practiced medicine and surgery. He had his medical and musical education in Germany - (he was an accomplished pianist). He continued medicine in Vienna as an observer and student of surgery which was then in its infancy. Through the influence of an Aunt who lived in Mt. Olive, Il., he opened his offices in that city. Since this was a coal mining area he felt he could successfully pursue his surgical knowledge there because of the number of accidents in the coal mine during that period. He became well-known for his success in orthopedic surgery, but died in his prime, aged forty-five. He married Lydia Nieman of Mt. Olive. Several of their children died in infancy. Those who grew to maturity were Walter, Corinne, Alfred, Winona, and Herbert. Walter, the eldest was a graduate electrical engineer, University of Illinois, 1901. He never married.

He, too, was a graduate engineer, and had an inventive turn of mind, having invented a bomb sight which the government purchased and used throughout WJ.W.II. He married twice.

| 862 | I0666 | [mccullar.ftw] The Pollard children all live at Altheimer, Arkansas. |
| 863 | I0667 | [mccullar.ftw] They had 2 children. |
| 864 | I0668 | [mccullar.ftw] They had six children. They moved to Redwater, Bowie Co., Tx., which is about 12 miles SW of Texarkana, Arkansas. They have 6 children |
| 865 | I06686 | Came to America with August and Christian in 1852. Baptized: November 28, 1820 at Evangelisch, Huellhorst, Westfalen, Pruessen |
| 866 | I0669 | [mccullar.ftw] She was still living in 1962, no issue by this marriage . |
| 867 | I06692 | 7 children - possibly 10 - 5 lived to grow up - Marie Elisabeth; Marie Caroline; Christine Caroline; George Joseph; George Wilhelm Joseph; Christina Louise Sophia: Christian Frederick. A German Catechism which was published in 1819 and has the name Friederich Hoffmann printed on the fly leaf and is now owned by Adele Ahlers of Kirkwood, Mo., contains information pertaining to teh Hoffman family. Among the names of other children of Frederick and Caroline we find: Sun. eve. 11 P.M., Feb. 29, 1848 daughter Christina Wilhelmina died - collaramorbus - lived 15 mos. A little farther down: Born Jan. 1, 1852 1 A.M. son Christian Friederich Wilhelm - Baptised on Sun. May 9, 1852 in St. Louis. Another notation - Fred William 10 mos. and a few day old died. Another - Born aft. Feb. 21, 1853 Christian Earl Ludwig. Since the German writing is not too clear on some of this we cannot be sure but believe these also were the Frederick Hoffmans Children. Frederick William Hoffman, 6th child of Johann Friederich Wilhelm Hoffman and Anne Marie Hoffman (nee Engel), was born at Rothenufeln, Germany, on Aug. 6, 1816 and died in Washington Co., Ill., about 1853. Since he is buried in an unmarked grave in a family burial ground on what was at that time, his farm and we can find no record of his death, by deduction, in relation to other events, we believe his death to have occurred in Nove. of 1853. At any rate, probate court records show his brother John was appointed administrator of his estate on Dec. 1, 1853. We are not sure when he came to America, but the record of his marriage to Caroline Bocker on Aug. 1, 1839, in Fairfax co., Ohio (Lancaster) has been found. The History of Washington Co. 1879 notes that the original settlers of Covington Precinct were not German, but that they and their heirs sold their farms to German immigrants from the area of Preusz Minden. This same book, on page 76, says the first German settler in the Covington Precinct was F. W. Hoffman, who came in 1840. Frederick found this record among land grants in our Washington Co. Historical Msueum. The date of purchase was Dec. 30, 1839. Frederick's farm was south of New Minden, presentlyh owned by Walter Nieman. Their first home was a log cabin, which about 1882 was replaced by a new home and the log cabin moved to become a barn. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |
| 868 | I06695 | Caroline's full name as it appears on St. John's Lutheran Church Records, New Minden, Ill., is Friedericke Wilhelmine Caroline Hoffman. Her place and date of birth is listed as Krohenlo, by Preusz Minden, Germany, May 1, 1819. She was married three times. Her second husband, whom she married on Dec. 30, 1856, was Friederich Christian Hesemann, who died on October 31, 1858, at the age of 38 years and 5 months. New Minden Church records note that he was not a member of that congregation and not buried on their cemetery. Two children, a boy and a girl - twins - were born of this union. The girl's name was Martha and she married a man named Myer. The boy's name was Henry and I have not been able to learn anything about him except that he married and moved on a farm near Lockwood, Mo. Caroline's third marriage was to Wilhelm (Bismarch) Vogt on May 15, 1860. He died Apr. 15, 1904, and is buried in the New Minden Cemetery. Caroline died March 4, 1896, at the age of 76, after an illness of 6 days. She also is burried in the New Minden Cemetery. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" Compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |

| 870 | I06697 | Caroline, who was teh fourth child born to Catherine and John E., was, according to her pictures and those who knew her, a very pretty young lady. She was born and grew up on a farm southwest of Nashville, She was an invalid the last ten years of her life, having suffered a stroke which left her paralyzed. |
| 871 | I06699 | Sarah was born at the Hoffman homestead southwest of Nashville and baptized at the Nashville Prairie Evangelical Church. She was a very able business woman, having begun her business career in 1880 in Kansas City, Mo., in partnership with Miss julia Hucke. Later she was employed by Nugent Store in St. Louis and in 1883 returned to Nashville and worked in the store of her brother-in-law H. H. Buhrman. When Mr. Buhrman became postmaster of Nashville, Sarah became his very capable assistant. In 1905 she bought a millinery store on Nashville's Main Street, now occupied by the Nashville Savings and Loan Company. This business was conducted successfully until her retirement in 1928. Although Sarah never married and had children of her own, she was a second mother to a number of nephews whose mothers died when they were quite young. One of these was George, her brother Frederick's son by his first wife, whom she cared for until Fred remarried. Others were her sister Elizabeth's sons and her sister Martha's two boys. These two sisters had both married Buhrmans and the two sets of children were brought up in the Herman Buhrman home as brothers, with Emma (Elisabeth's daughter) and Sarah running the household. Sarah was a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Church, Nashville, for mrore than 56 years - for more than 25 years president of the Ladies Aid Society and for many years a Sunday School teacher. She died at the home of her niece and nephew, Emma and Tom Krughoff, with whom she had lived for a number of years. From "Hoffmans 1662 - 1972" compiled by Bernice Reinhardt |

| 890 | I06916 | Jan 5, 2013 E-Mail from Jeffrey Green: Description: I am the great great grandson of Noah B. Owen. I have found records where he is listed as Brantley Owen so is guess the B was for Brantley. Noah and Martha Lockhart married April 12, 1842. After she died, Noah married Mary Ann Robertson June 2, 1855. After she died and Noah had served in the Civil War, Noah married for a third time to Kessiah/Kessa Adams on April 5, 1864. Noah and Kessiah had one son Noah B. Owen, Jr. who was my great grandfather. Sadly, Noah and Kessiah both were apparently dead by 1870. In the 1880 Census of Williamson County, we find Noah B. Owen Jr. (age 14) listed as living with his brother John M. Owen & his wife Eliza Booker. John M. Owen's mother was Martha J. Lockhart. In a history of the Brown's Guards - Company G of the 1st Tennessee (Field's) Infantry, Brant Owen and John M. Owen are listed as serving. I found John M. Owen's record but only located Brant Owen's record as being listed as Napoleon B. Owens. Perhaps an error or someone embellishing the name. I also have a copy of the land grant given to Reuben Owen for his purchase of land along Snow Creek in Maury County, TN on July 21, 1838 from Mr. William L. Sparkman. My research shows Reuben Owen as being born November 13, 1775 in Fincastle, Virginia. His family (Mom/Dad/Siblings) moved from there to Somerset, Kentucky in 1803. From there Reuben launched out on his own to settle in Maury County Tennessee in the town of Santa Fe around 1838. Thank you for your site as it has provided me with much valuable information. |
