Joseph and his brother John received the Kirschbacherhof 4 Mar 1835. The inventory list still exists. The two brothers fell into debt and they migrated in 1849 to America. Joseph then went to America some time after the death of his wife in 1877.
“They took with them sufficent funds to buy land on the recently opened prairies of central Illinois, and in 1855 Josef Jr. became a minister of the newly formed Rock Creek Amish congregation there.”
Tenants on Kirschbacherhof and Nassenwald.
Leaseholder on the Kirschbacherhof. Went to the USA in 1849. [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
