The year after his wife died, Valentine, with some of his family came to America. He left Gern near Munich, Bavaria with five children, and with 10,000 fl., one of the larger amounts taken out of the country--much more than most immigrants. His brother Christian took the same amount. Valentine was of the "Little Red" Birky's. The family’s emigration is documented in Friedrich Blendinger’s material (the emigration to North America from the governmental district Upper Bavaria in the years 1846-1852, in: ZBLG (magazine for Bavarian national history) 27 (1964), p. 431-487. The magazine is on line with full text.

    • CLER: Y
    • Occupation: Estate manager, farmer
    • Religion: Mennonite
    • USR1: Herzwassersucht - cardiac dropsy

    Notes:

    Nicholas owned a large farm near Munich and was also a preacher of the Mennonite church.

    “Nikolaus and his family moved from Strasbourg in Alsace to Unterweilbach near Dachau. Later they leased the castle farm in Pellheim. Other Amish families and individuals were also in the neighborhood. For example, the families of Christian and Valentin Birki who owned properties in Arzbach. Christian Habecker's Amish family also lived there for three years as subtenants of Christian Birki. Also tenants in this area were the Zehr and Hiser families, all of whom were named in the Pellheim parish register. Jakob Müller was a farmhand in Pellheim, Christian Gascho and his wife Maria née Güngerich in Pellheim, Georg Hochstettler farmhand in Arzbach, the siblings Johann, Barbara & Valentin Ackermann also in Arzbach and Anna Zwalter (Schowalter), “Austräglerin” or elderly farm woman in Pellheim. We may assume that all of the people named in Pellheim were employed by Nickolaus Augustin or lived on the farm. According to the church register, Christian Gascho was the subtenant of Nikolaus Augustin on the estate in Pellheim. The same was the case with Christian and Katharina Jotter (née Augsburger).

    “Nikolaus Augustin must have been a very good farmer, because in the Staatsarchiv I found an application for a certificate of property by the Pellheim community dated 21 May 1841 when he left his lease there. It records what he had in terms of cash, agricultural property, and equipment and livestock, as well as outstanding debts from creditors.” [Totaling 16,174 Guilders]

    “Following are the names of local leaders of the community who gave attestations to Nikolaus’ wealth and reputation: Eduard Count Sprety, Landlord of Weilbach; Franz Mayer, mayor, community of Pellheim; Dachau regional court.”


    Information taken from Eigsti Genealogy Book.
      Nicholas, a farmer, owned a large farm in Germany.  He was also a preacher in the Mennonite Church.  The children received training in the home which produces industrious and faithful citizens.  Being instructed in the faith of their parents, they accepted Christ as their Saviour in their youth.  Nicholas died at about 50 years of age in Munich, Germany.  Elizabeth, the youngest daughter, contracted dipthiria and died from the disease in 1849, at approximately 7 years of age.

      In Germany, the law of conscription required all young men to serve three years in military duty.  The family left a comfortable, prosperous farm to come to America, suffering the privations of pioneer life.  They came not for financial gain, but to escape militarism, believing that it was not in accordance with the teachings of Holy Scriptures.

      The first to come to America, was Joseph Burkey.  He lived for one year in Tazewell Co., Illinois, then returned to Germany and married Miss Barbara Eigsti, in 1847.  The following year Joseph Burkey with his new bride, Barbara and her brother, Christian, came to America and settled in Tazewell Co., Illinois.  Following the death of Nicholas Augstien, his widow Barbara and the remaining children joined the family in America.  The trip was made in small wooden vessels, taking 56 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean.  They landed in New York City, proceeded by rail to Chicago and by canal to LaSalle, Illinois, on by boat to Hennepin, and by team to Bureau County, Illinois.

      Barbara Augstien owned land two miles south of Morton, Illinois.  A deed was recorded on August 19, 1853 in Tazewell County.  The land was purchased for the sum of $5,000.  Barbara Augstien is recorded in both the 1870 and 1880 federal census as residing with her youngest son, John Eigsti.  On December 26, 1880, she passed away at the age of 80.  She was buried in the Willow Springs Mennonite Church Cemetery, near Tiskilwa, Illinois.

    ——————————
    “In 1818 Nicholas Augstein left Strasbourg and moved to Gern (near Munich) with a number of other families. The family name was changed to Eigsti after resettling near Munich and it has been thought the cause could have been an anti-semitic climate.”

    Died:
    1852 Kirchdorf church register. He died at noon and was buried on Feb 3 in Kirchdorf in the grave belonging to the farm.

    Buried:
    In the grave belonging to the farm
