Notes - “Lived near Boltigen in the Simmental in the Emmental, Bern, SW. Theirs was a Reformed family. As a young man he worked as a farmhand on an Amish Mennonite farm near Hornbach in the Palatinate, near Zweibrücken. By his acquaintances with the Mennonites he became so convinced of their faith that he asked to be allowed to join the church--which he did. After an interrogation by the Reformed Church Council he was expelled on July 16, 1739, because he would not return to the Reformed faith and he had to leave the country. He went to Baden where he lived on the Ottenweierhof of the Lord von Dungren, near Lahr and Ichenheim.” [4]
