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 ) [4]
