The History of McLean County (1879): “Peter Sommer, farmer and stock-raiser: Post Office at Gridley; has been a resident of Illinois since 1834. He was born near Strasburg, Alsace, France, April 24, 1811. He came with his parents to the United States in 1828; they settled in Butler County, Ohio; there he lived till his removal to Illinois in 1834; he was one of the pioneers of Woodford County, the Indians not having yet left their hunting grounds on the Mackinaw, when Mr. Sommer took up his claim form the Government, built his log cabin, and began to carve himself a home in the wilderness. After living there thirty-two years he settled on his present farm in 1866. He owns a fine farm of 160 acres, well improved, his set of buildings being among the best in the township. His success in life is due entirely to his own exertions. He is emphatically a self-made man. Has held no political offices, giving all his attention to his legitimate business of farming. He is a leading member of the Apostolic Christian Church and was prominent in the building of the church in Gridley. He was first married in August 1834 to Miss Catharine Schertz of Woodford County. She came with her parents from Alsace, France in 1832. She was born in August 1816, and died in August 1874. They had ten children, four of whom are living: Catherine, wife of John Ehresman of Livingston County; Barb
Barbara, wife of Peter Ehresman of Gridley Township; Mary; and Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Rich of Gridley Township.”

11775 This couple “came from the Glasthalerhof near Pirmasens in the Palatinate which belonged to an enclave of Baden around the township of Rodalben, to Woodford County, IL.” King, Johannes (I825)
 
11776 This death is not mentioned in the 10-yr civil index. Kennel, Christophe (I5195)
 
11777 This estate is now a neighborhood of the Regensburg suburb Prüfening, was about midway between Regensburg and Nittendorf. Family: Jacob Jordy / Magdalena Schantz (F6793)
 
11778 This family first lived in Congerville, later moved to Oakville, Ia. and from there to Latty, Ohio, later to Fort Wayne, IN (1936). They had 13 children (listed in source .) Schrock, Susanna (Susan) (I2077)
 
11779 This family is in Morton Twp., Tazewell Co., in 1850 census and 1860 census, with 7 children. In 1860 one child, Barbara, 12, is identified as “idiotic.”


. Christian also appears on the 1855 state census of Morton, along with other familiar names such as (as written) Joseph Staker, Christian Staker, John Oswald, Jacob Schwarztraub, John Switzer, Peter Belsly, and Ja. Ritch.

The 1860 census of Morton shows: farmer Christian Ackerman, 46, Bavaria; Anna, 41, France; Christian, 16; Barbara, 12; John, 13; Mary, 7; Anna, 5; Lydia, 3; and Madaline, 2; all children born in Illinois. The farm appears on the 1864 plat map of Morton. In 1870: farmer Christian Ackerman, 55, Bavaria; Anna, 50, France; farm laborer John, 22; Barbara, 19; Mary, 17; Anna, 15; Letty [Lydia], 14; and Magdalena, 11.

In 1880 Christian and Anna were living next door to John Oswald and his son John, and son-in-law Samuel Hirstein and daughter Lydia Ackerman. They appear as retired farmer Christian Ackerman, 67, Bavaria; Anna, 61, Bavaria; Barbara, 28; and Lena, 21. The 1900 census of Morton shows: Christian Ackerman, 86, born Dec. 1813, immigrated in 1838, Germany; Anna, 80, born May 1820, Germany; Barbra, 51, born March 1849; and Lena, 41, born July 1858. } 
Ackerman, Christian (I5840)
 
11780 This family lived from 1813 to 1860 in the following places around Regensburg, Bavaria:
Wolfersdof, Stegenhof, Heising, Pfaffenberg, Haaghof, Hammerles, Neusath, Grashof. 
Güngerich, Jakob (I15831)
 
11781 This family lived in Ft. Wayne, IN. Gerber, Lloyd Edward (I7474)
 
11782 This family moved to Harper, KS, and joined the Apostolic Christian Church. Smith, Joseph (I2219)
 
11783 This family moved to Seward Co., NE sometime after 1880. John purchased 370 acres in 1884. The name was sometimes spelled Stider. All of their children married in Seward Co., but only one remained there. Steider, John (I13668)
 
11784 This family picked up the surname Gerard in occasional use. We suspect it began with the birth of daughter Christine, the first child born in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. The clerk at Baccarat called both father André and his witness Joseph ‘Gérard.’ While André signed with an ‘x’, indicating he was illiterate, Joseph very clearly signed ‘Joseph Schrag.’
x
This mixup of Gerard for Schrag would continue until April 11, 1863, when Christophe Schrag (a son of André’s brother Christian/Christophe) made a grievance at a public meeting of the civil tribunal in District 2 of the department of Meuse. He explained that the persistent error could only be explained by poor pronunciation of the word Gerard. This resulted in a lengthy remark inserted in the civil records of Chassey, detailing all the family events that had been misidentified because of it. 
Serach), Andréas /Schrag (Gerard (I2115)
 
11785 This family was first established as a farmer at the Sarrelfing farm, at Haut Clocher, from 1905 to 1916, then lived on rue Gambetta in Sarrebourg in the house Wagler Schertz. Jordy, Jean Nicolas (I13208)
 
11786 This father/son relationship is not confirmed.

In 1852 Benjamin G. was guardian of Thos. G. Childers.
A Thomas G. Childers, who supposedly died in the Civil War, could be the minor named above?

————————

In May 1852,Benjamin G. Childers, as guardian of Thomas G. Childers, is requesting the court to order the sale of land in order to support and educate Thomas, a minor.

On 14 Feb 1853 he presents to the court an inventory of the estate of Thomas G. Childers, a minor, consisting only of 80 acres of land subject to the widows dower.

A few days later, 17 Feb 1853, Thomas G. Childers, minor and heir to the estate of Dan'l R. Childers, decd., asks the court to change his guardian from Benj G. Childers to Dr. Sam'l Williams, because Benj. has not provided him with clothing, treatment and provisions which he needs. The petition says, "The undersigned T. Goolsby Childers states.....". The petition is signed Thomas G. Childers.

The petition was granted.

Sept 1853 the court reported that 80 acres of land belonging to Thomas G. Childers a minor, was sold for education, and the purchaser was Samuel Williams.

11787 This grave stands almost by itself in the middle of the cemetery. No name can be found on it, but there is a monogram at the intersection of the two branches of the cross made of the letters P and E. No doubt, this is the grave of Joseph Pelsy and his wife Madeleine Esch (her parents are buried a few meters away). Joseph, who died in 1933, was the last person to be buried in the cemetery.
Ever since, and until very recently, this place of remembrance was pretty well abandoned, for some unknown reason.

Heartfelt thanks to the Rhodes municipality and in particular to Jean Luc Rondot, the mayor, for wanting to restore this place. Thanks to all of those who committed to support the Association for the rehabilitation of this cemetery. Cimetière Anabaptiste-Mennonite de Rhodes - Moselle

The “Belsley-Sauder Genealogy” describes how David returned to Europe in 1835-36, apparently to collect inheritances due his three daughters Magdalena, Catherine, and Barbara from the estate of first wife Catherine Belsley. A few location names have been corrected for the sake of clarity in this letter he wrote home to second wife Anne Rocher:

“A heartily wished friendly greeting to you, my dear wife, and also to my children from me, David Schertz; from my brothers, and sisters-in-law, my sister, and all good friends and acquaintances; and wish the best for body and soul, what we dying mortals have to wish to one another. Remember me in your prayers, when you come before the Lord, which I, also, my dear wife and children, intend to do, as much as the dear Lord will come to our aid in our weakness.

“Further to relate that I, praise God, arrived in France, and really, the 17th of February, 1836 slept at Neuhof at my brother's, but full of solicitude how you are getting along in my absence, but place my trust in God that he will keep you safe in his care. Further, my dear wife, I will let you know that my trip to France was very pleasant. Firstly, the ocean voyage was bad. For several days we were in danger and peril of our lives; the weather was so unsettled and it stormed so hard that the wind drove us to England. Then with the omnipotence and might of God, we had good weather again. I must tell you the truth that it took me three months and eight days on my journey until I reached Blâmont.

“There I went immediately and visited Engel's wife, who, thank God, was hearty and well, together with the baby of Engel's daughter. I, though, felt sickly and stayed there three days until my tiredness felt a little better and I was rested a little. Then I rode to Sarrebourg and on the 15th of February I arrived at Lux [a local family], where I stayed until the next day, when I went with my brother Christian to Neuhof, to my brothers and sisters-in-law who received me with much joyful welcome.

“I also transacted my business immediately, especially I went to Mr. Loll who received me most courteously and waited on me fine. My dear wife, believe me, if anybody would give me 4,000 francs to make the trip again after I have reached home, I would politely thank them [and decline]. For this trip will be long remembered.

“Now, don't think I am sick, just tired and weak on account of the cold I got here and there on the trip, some from riding, and some from other sources that a traveler often meets.

“Otherwise, I am well and hope to leave France the 15th or 20th of March if it can be, with the help of God. Now, do not worry about me, for I will try without so much delay soon again to be with you, my dear wife and children.

...All send thousands of greetings, and I altogether commit you to the protection of the Most Highest, who will take us and you in his own kingdom, which is prepared for all the righteous, after our end. Now, my dear wife, also my children, keep on praying to God that we will be able to meet each other hearty and well and embrace each other. I am your faithful husband and you are my faithful wife till death do us part. Adieu, farewell. This letter I wrote at Mouckenhoff, or had written by Karl, who used to teach my children at Schneckenbusch.” David Schertz

REASONS AND DATES OF EXILE OF BERNE NEUHAUSER The general persecution against the Anabaptists , inaugurated by the Edict of Spire of January 4, 1528 , which unfairly confounded under the same name, fanatical supporters of John of Leyden and Thomas Muenzer with the peaceful Anabaptists , later called Mennonites, died in Holland in the late sixteenth century. There was not the same in Switzerland, where the Mennonites were persecuted again throughout the course of the seventeenth and part of the eighteenth centuries. The Bernese authorities were particularly bitter and persevering in repression.

Bernese patricians, with their exclusive pride, their military spirit , their corruption were at the opposite extreme "Christians without defense or revenge" which demanded that the freedom to practice their faith in peace . Among the measures taken by these " lords of Berne ,” more stringent than other mandate in 1670 gave fifteen days all Anabaptist to cross the border of the State of Berne, and put his property in receivership.

The exodus of 1671 and the following years brought to Alsace ? and Montbéliard several hundred refugees which include the name of NEUHAUSER . Jacques Neuhauser had settled in 1704 on the lands of the Principality of Montbéliard . See National Archives: K. . 2178 and Arch. Doubs E. 465 . (see geneanet Neyhousser )
