Mary Hobein's Ancestors - Nussbaum from Neukirchen (Rheinbach) to Wisconsin and Schweitzer from Dom-Esch (Euskirchen) to Wisconsin

Please if you would like more information, or if some of these people look familiar to you.

The farmer Peter Nussbaum and his wife Maria Katherine (Katie) nee Schweitzer came in 1855 from Dom-Esch, Rhine-Prussia to Ellington (Outagamie Co.), WI, with their children Katherine (1825-1904), Daniel (1827-1895), Margaret (1836-1916), Jacob (1838-1911), Joseph (1840-1877), Gertrude (1841-1882), Mary/Marie (1844-1897), and William/Wilhelm (1847-1910). The family was Roman-Catholic.

They emigrated in 1855 probably from Bremen and then London to New York aboard the ship Patrick Henry. Starting from a clue that Jacob Nussbaum in his naturalization petition indicated that he was born in "Aesch", I have been able to find the correct one of several towns named Esch in the Cologne area, namely Dom-Esch (now part of Euskirchen), where the Schweitzer family originated. Church records from Dom-Esch indicated that Peter Nussbaum was from Neukirchen (of which there are several), and I was able to find several generations of his family in Neukirchen-Rheinbach.

Among the children, Katherine married Nicholas Schmit (1830-1902, of Luxemburg). Daniel married Franziska Küpp (1834-1912, of Germany). Margaret married John Kemmeter (1837-1918, of Darmstadt). Jacob married Elisabeth Wettengel (1843-1927, of Bohemia). Joseph married Wilhelmina Elisa Pohls (1850-?). Gertrude married William Neuenfeld (of Germany). Mary married John Janssen (1844-?, of the Netherlands). William married Anna Kraus (1852-1942, of Chodau/Bohemia).
