Michael’s probate records reveal that he was buried in Mound Cemetery, Monroe, Butler Co., OH. A John Long received $21 for coffin and services. M. Doell (?) received $8 for oil cloth coat needed for funeral of Michael Salzman. Mound Cemetery (Rich Davies) was paid $26.25 (assumably for the lot), and $2.50 for interment of the body. Dr. D. R. Dyche submitted a bill totaling $25 for services on 16 different days during October 1861.

Mound Cemetery is just over two miles from the Salzman home, in Monroe, OH. The cemetery is indeed a mound of earth covered with grave sites. The Amish section is at the bottom of the mound fairly close to the entrance driveway.

Also in the Salzman plot are Georgie 1882-1887; Barbara 1853-1938; William 1857 -1917; Ella 1859-1943; and John W. 1860-1917.

Notes:

Petit-Tenquin (pop. 2009: 224) was destroyed during the Thirty Years War, then repopulated by Belgians. There is a passage of a Roman road in the village. Ferme Zelle is a former priory of Saint-Denis of Paris. (Population in 2009 was 224.) In 2012 “A La Ferme de Zellen” was owned by Koenig - Dubois.

Children Michael, Pierre, Catherine, Magdeleine, Barbe and Christian were all born at Zelle farm near Petite-Tenquin, but the parents registered the births at Sarralbe.

Later, Michel worked at St. Croix, most probably at the time Jean Gingerich was the leaseholder.

Michel Salzman was witness to the death of Christian Oyeman of Dulbestroff (Chateau-Salins). Both were living at Vallerade near Albestroff.

——————————————
One of four Anabaptist families living at Haras:

Michel Saltzmann and his wife Catherine Weiss came from Petit-Tenquin (57) in 1795. Two of their children were born at the Haras: one in 1795, who married in 1827 at Val-de-Guéblange (57), and another in 1800 that died the day after his birth. One son born in 1780 in Petit-Tenquin, Michel the young, married March 3, 1804 at Sarralbe to Hirschy Catherine, daughter of Pierre and Agnès Hirschy Farny. The couple had a child in 1804 who does not appear on the birth certificate. He probably left Sarralbe after that date, perhaps to the Val-de-Guéblange with parents and Michel’s brothers.

Notes:

Of St Avold.

“Pierre Hirschi was the brother of Anne Hirschi who married Christian Farny; Anne Farny was sister to Christian Farny who married Anne Hirschi. This meant that Josephe Stecker's in-laws were Christian Farny and Anne Hirschi; Michael Salzman's in-laws were Pierre Hirschi and Anne Farny. In simplest terms, the children of Michael Salzman and the children of Josephe Stecker shared common great-grandparents. “

Other researchers do not list Pierre as a child of Hans and Anna. He may not be their child, but possibly a child of Jacob Hirschi, b. abt. 1705.

Pierre married Anne Agnes Farny (Phorni) about 1766. Anne (daughter of Farny (Phorni)) was born in 1745; died on 19 May 1795 in Faulquemont, Moselle, FR. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Christiane was born after the death date of Pierre Hergi/Hirschy, so perhaps she was the child of Anne’s second marriage.

Notes:

Could this be the Christian Weis who in 1785 sold the Heckenaschbacherhof to Duke Karl II August, as mentioned by Hermann Guth? (p. 78) And could another of his daughters be Catherine, first wife of Michael Salzman? And perhaps Elizabeth and Maria Weiss who married Stalters were also connected, as well as Elizabeth who married Caspar Schrag?
