Hans Bernhard and Elisabeth (Schardt) Hausele and Family

Today I am finally at the end of the line of the Barnhisel/Bernhiesel/ Hausele family. I was told by the Hysell/Hisel Group that Hans Bernhard joined the Butcher's Guild in Kreuznach, Germany. Evidently, a rule of a journeyman was that he never reveal where he learned his trade. Thus, we descendants are deprived of where Hans was born and his parents' names and place of residence. His wife, Elisabeth Schardt's line is extended, however, and I'll be able to tell you about her parents and family in a future blog.

Hans and his family lived on the shady side of a main street in Kreuznach in order to keep his meats in the shade. Kreuznach is well known for its picturesque medieval bridge dating from around 1300 which has four bridge houses. (See Wikipedia's Bad Kreuznach bridge houses).

 Hans and Elizabeth's children have the combined names of Bernhard and Hausele in their surname, Bernthausel:
1638 Joseph
1642 Hanss Peter
1645 Margretha
1648 Appolonia
Jan 1651 Johann Martin, our ancestor
1651 Drusiana
1651 Johann Hartmann
1652 Elisabetha
1658 Johann Balthasar

HANS BERNARD HAUSELE

MARRIED: 1638 in Kreuznach, Rhineland, Germany
DIED: 2 Jan 1670 in Kreuznach, Rhineland, Germany

Hans Bernhard died:
January 2, 1670. In the letter from Pfarrer Lermen of Kirchenkreis an Nahe
Und Glan printed in the Spring, 1996 newsletter, we are told that Johann
Bernhard came to Kreuznach in 1638 and also a Sophia Schmeid came to Kreuznach
in 1638 and they married. Now Frau Dr. Fink suggests he married
Elisabetha Lang, a master butcher's daughter. This could be wife #2.
Johann died January 2, 1670 in his sleep (reference the same letter in
Spring 1996 from Lermen)  J.B. must have come to Kreuznach as a wandering

MATHIAS AND MARGARET (SHATSWELL) CORWIN AND FAMILY

The Shatswells and Corwins emigrated together from Sibbertoft, Northamptonshire, England in 1633. They landed at Ipswich, Massachusetts. In December 1634,  Mathias and six others received 4 acres of meadow and marsh. Later, Mathias bought fifty acres of land in Salem, Massachusetts where he and his immediate family lived until 1640. Their next home was in Southold, Suffolk, New York on Long Island. The following children were born to this couple:

1632 Martha
1633 John
1634 Theophilus, our ancestor

While I was preparing this blog about the Corwins, I found the following surprising accounts from Barbara Fricke, researcher, Copyright 1998.  Source: http://ntgen.tripod.com/bw/corw_origins.html and researcher, Gary Boyd Roberts about our possible links to royalty via the Corwin/Shatswell marriage. I'll let you readers make of it what you will....

Fredrick and Engeltie (Hendricks) Mouritz and family

Our eighth great grandparents, Fredrick Mouritz and Engeltie Hendricks and their children lived in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York in the 1660s along with many other Dutch people, some French Huguenots, and a few English folks. The Dutch were from well-to-do families seeking adventure and action in the new world. The Huguenots, exiled from France, were welcomed by the Dutch who were living by the large stream of Esopus.

To the Dutch, America owes its civil and religious liberty and its wise and tolerant system of laws, recording of deeds, mortgages and wills. From the earliest settlement to the present, the records of Ulster have been scrupulously and accurately kept, running  back in succession for over 250 years. 

Here is the translated will of Fredrick Pietersen Mouritz, [written in the Dutch language], dated 30 May 1709:
[First, there is a long religious preamble]
"My wife, Engeltie shall possess and remain in possession of my whole estate during her life, on condition that if she should happen to marry, it shall go to my heirs named below. My eldest son, Pieter, 30 schepels of winter wheat, his right of primogenitur. To my seven children, Jannetje, Pieter, Engel, Hendrick, Geertruid, Elysabeth, and Oeyke, my entire estate, to be equally divided among them with the exception of the wheat to Pieter. Wife appointed executrix. Signed by the testator. Hendrick Bogart (his mark), Jans Middagh, Joris Middagh, Wm. Nottingham. The will was proven May 30, 1709 when Mr. H. Bogart, Capt. Joris Middagh, and Wm. Nottingham appeared before the Court."

Here, also, are the known dates of baptism of the Mauritz children that I added to Fredrick's list:
Pieter 16 Oct 1667
Jannetje 18 Jun 1671, our ancestor
Engel, [a male]
Hendrick
Geertruid 28 Jul 1684
Elysabeth05 Dec 1686
Oeyke, [a female]

JORIS DAVIDSON and JANNETJE LOPER and SONS

These eighth great grandparents were married in Antwerp, Netherlands on the seventh day of October in 1674. I know about two of their children:

Isaac, our ancestor, who was born in England,  and his brother, Jacobus.

Antwerp is the northernmost province both of the Flemish Region, also called Flanders, and of Belgium. It borders on (clockwise from the North) North Brabant province of the Netherlands and the Belgian provinces of Limburg, Flemish Brabant and East Flanders. Its capital is Antwerp which comprises the Port of Antwerp. As in all Flemish provinces, the official and standard language of the Antwerp province is Dutch.
