CHRISTMANS OF BAN DE LA ROCHE, ALSACE
By Louise Bialik Chrisman
All roads in the genealogical databases have lead to Rodan,
Steinthal, as the originating place for Jacob Christman, the Moravian of
Guilford, North Carolina. However, not only would all roads lead to Rodan, but
could go no further as by chance one day, a person entering Old JacobÕs birth
place made a spelling error, and thereafter, subsequent researchers quoted and
published the same misprint. Rodan was never meant to be Rodan but Rothau, a small village nestled in a
French valley called Ban de la Roche on the western side of the Rhine River. But were it not for
Steinthal, the
actual name, Steintal (Stone Valley), would not have been found.
Steintal, founded in 1059 upon a former Celtic settlement
plundered and assimilated by Romans, borders the Strasbourg diocesan land of
the VallŽ Rothaine
where churches were established in Belmont, Fouday and Rothau before 1200[1]. When the family of Rupe (Stein)
became SteintalÕs landlord, a castle called Stein (Rock) was erected and the domain
then became known as Ban de la Roche when the French inherited it in 1584.
The new owner, Georges Jean the Count of Veldenz, purchased
the area for 47,000 florins and got his moneyÕs worth for the poor and arid
ground brought about metal bearing wealth.
Elevated at 387 meters, Ban de la Roche is situated in a
green valley surrounded by running streams. With constant moving water around
the perimeter, the topsoil most fertile for agriculture is washed away,
producing mediocre soil. While the soil is not ideal for farming, its
topography offered its inhabitants opportunities for industrial mining, pottery
and accessible travel via rivers. In some ways, it was an early suburban
lifestyle; one could comfortably live in a hamlet and maintain a small farm
while commuting to work some three kilometers away. Such lifestyle was bourgeois, or middle-class. Noted in the
vital registries, the Christmans of Waldersbach, Neuvillers, Solbach and Rothau
were bourgeois, and held positions in the justice system and were associates of
the nobility.
In 1649, Ban de la Roche encountered a bloody rampage lead
by GuerotheŽ the Younger, and so the administrative center for the area was moved to Waldersbach
and Rothau where JacobÕs family lived. Because of this move, two centuries
documenting the activities of the Christmans and their associates were
protected. The earliest Christman vital record dates to 1632 when JacobÕs
great-grandfather, Georg Christmann of Fouday was given the nickname of Salm [2] for his thirty years of service to
the Count of Salm. Like so many other Christman records, Georg ChristmannÕs
name was inverted to become Christman Georg.
What Georg Christmann and his son must have witnessed in
their community of 1200 is a tragic tale of mass hysteria. For between the
years of 1607 to 1630, over one hundred people were accused of practicing
witchcraft. Eighty individuals were found guilty and publicly executed by the
hands of Meister Bernhardt who charged 10 florins per witch to be ignited[3]. Those singled out were unmarried
crippled men and widows who lived with their sons. But no one was safe, even
families with children were subject to accusation, interrogation, torture, and
death by fire. The worst accuser of all was Catherine MarŽchal[4] of Rothau who named her mother,
brother and a young girl. Five more couples were accused, and perished in
flames, leaving behind seventeen orphans.
After the lunacy of the Ban witch killings, many families
fled to the city of Barr. To restore order to the community, the
French-speaking Lutheran Pastor of Waldersbach, Nicolas Marmet, set up a
tribunal to prevent future acts of intolerance. Pastor Marmet developed the
Protestant identity during times of crisis, and was responsible for vital records
of his parishioners from 1612-1675. Because of his notes, three generations of
family history exist. Additionally, prior to the great 1736 exodus, Pastor
Marmet laid a foundation in his church of Waldersbach that would be succeeded
by Jean Oberlin, the Lutheran pastor who established the first kindergartens,
orphanages and pharmacies. Pastor Oberlin resided in Waldersbach from 1767
until his death in 1826 and is buried in the small Fouday cemetery beside the
Christmans.
One presumes that Pastor Oberlin moved to Waldersbach
because it had been vacated thirty years before. The rise and fall of the BanÕs
population had everything to do with whether there was a war going on. After
the witch killings and Thirty Years War, the Christmans moved from Fouday and Waldersbach to
Barr. Old JacobÕs great-grandfather, Christian Christman, also known as Colas
Colas, was born in Barr on May 14, 1637, and his family remained there until
1664 when they moved into the smaller populated village of Solbach to become Solbachois. Prior to their return, the
population of the Ban had dwindled down to 250 residents for the entire region.
Yet the War of Holland, ravaged Alsace and burned down the village of Belmont in 1675.
Therefore families fled once again, but the Verly and Ringuelsbach families
remained. Sixteen years later, Odille Verly, daughter of Jean Verly and
Marguerite Neuvillers, was born in Belmont.
Odille VerlyÕs father, Jean Verly, was from the Walhern
village in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. Jean Verly immigrated to Belmont
with the Binggeli, BrŸllhard, and MŸller
families. They had been neighbors in Guggisberg, Switzerland and continued their relationships
into Pennsylvania and Salem, North Carolina some decades down the road.
While the family of Christian Christman resided in Solbach,
they celebrated their baptisms in Waldersbach, and laid to rest their loved
ones in Fouday, suggesting that the family plot is in Fouday. This pattern
continued until Old JacobÕs father, Jacques, moved in 1719 with his bride, Odille
Verly, to Rothau where their first and only child Jacob was born on May 4,
1720. Eight months later, Odille
lost her father on New YearÕs Day, and then her husband the next week. Records
do not indicate cause of death, but several young people died in January 1721,
so there may have been a viral epidemic at the time.
The new mother, second time widow, grieving daughter,
Odille, at age thirty had to carry on. For five years she remained single,
raising her son, Jacob, attending to requests for stepping in as godmother to
friends and family. Prior to her marriage with Jacques, Odille was married to
Jean Michel Gagnier on 16 AUG 1712. But sometime between 1712 and 1719, Jean
Ganier died, leaving Odille in Rothau. One wonders whether she had children
from her first marriage. While the notes collected here are focused on the
Christmans, there is mention of OdilleÕs probable uncle, Jean Ringuelsbach,
sponsoring an infant by the name of Peter Ganier on 31 OCT 1713. Could this
Peter Ganier possibly be an older half-brother to Jacob? Of note, in 1721,
another Odille Verly, the daughter of Jean Adam Verly of Solbach, married a
Jean Ganier. Such duplication of names is common.
NAMING
PATTERNS AND THE ST BLAISE RECORDS
From reviewing parochial
records of the Ban de la Roche communities of Fouday to Rothau, circa 1550 -
1760, along with the 1655 Ban de
la Roche Census, and Robert LutzÕs paper, The
Population of Ban de la Roche After the Thirty Years War[5],
there is evidence that names intended by parents were often modified by
ministers. However, the ministers
of the Ban did their best to preserve names while residents lived their lives
unaware that while Mr. Loux might have called his son ÒJeanÓ at home, in the
church (owned by government), Jean was known as ÒHans WolfÓ or sometimes ÒJohn
Wolf.Ó
Depending on which Seignory was in power, the BanÕs Lutheran ministers, Marmet and Binninger, were forced to switch from French to German, creating a hybrid language called Patois. The Patois method was not just reflective of the BanÕs bi-lingual culture, but inspired by a need to preserve records that would revert back to German. Thus the registries were a problem for French-literate ministers to maintain as their handwriting shows strain and disinterest until names and dates are recorded.
How a resident of Rothau, or Rothauqois, survives name translation is interesting to follow because residents were generally illiterate and could not sign their own name, therefore the ministers would write the participantÕs name and have the participant mark an X. Also, it was common practice for ministers to use two notebooks, one private ledger in native French, and the other in Patois-German for the official record. Since a secondary record is sometimes available, intended names are better verified.
Complicating intended names is the cultural and religious behaviors of the Ban residents. When a child may be given two names-- a first and middle, the first is a Christian name to honor their patron saint while the second is the name the child is to be called by. Yet this rule changes if a child is not given two names. Then, a child is called by his or her saintÕs name. Thus ÒJean JacobÓ would be known as ÒJacob,Ó and his mother, Odille, would be called ÒOdilleÓ because she did not have a middle name but AlsaceÕs saint, Odille (the 8th century girl who was a blind but restored to sight after baptism).
Further adding to the complication of naming patterns is how parents paid homage to their ancestors by naming their children after their parents and grandparents. The homage Jacob Christman paid his family, was shown by how he named his first son, Johannes Jacob, after his father, and his second son, Johannes, after his father-in-law, Johannes Heckendorn. This is why there can be two Johns in the same family. The naming order goes something like this:
BOYS 1st son Ð named after fatherÕs father 2nd son Ð named after motherÕs father 3rd son Ð named after father 4th son Ð fatherÕs paternal grandfather 5th son Ð motherÕs paternal grandfather 6th son Ð fatherÕs maternal grandfather 7th son Ð motherÕs maternal grandfather |
GIRLS 1st dau Ð named after motherÕs father 2nd dau Ð named after fatherÕs father 3rd dau Ð named after mother 4th dau Ð motherÕs paternal grandfather 5th dau Ð fatherÕs paternal grandfather 6th dau Ð motherÕs maternal grandfather 7th dau Ð fatherÕs maternal grandfather |
Perhaps this seems like a very well ordered system with naming a child, however, if there are two brothers creating children every year and they are following this naming pattern, then there will be multiple children with identical names. This is why the ministers tried to personalize their entries by including additional notes on the participantÕs village, vocation, and whether elder or younger. As there were many repeated names for Jacob ChristmanÕs family, one finds not just one Jean Christman nor one Odille Verly, but several. And so it is important to take a closer look within each registry to notice the details, especially the notes on godparents as usually these people were also family.
Another naming system utilized by the St Blaise ministers occurred when there were two people of the same name mentioned in a single event. In such cases, a minister would invert one of the participantÕs names to differentiate one from the other. This was a sensible method until dealing with a name like Christman because ÒChristmanÓ is interchangeable with ÒChristianÓ and sometimes ÒNicolas.Ó In the entries of Christian Christman, the son of Nicolas Christman, the Patois translation reads ÒColas Colas son of Colas Colas.Ó Does this mean that Nicolas ChristmanÕs fatherÕs surname was Colas? Evidently not because NicolasÕ grandfather, Georg Christman, had his name inverted when called ÒChristman Georg.Ó And so, when ÒColasÓ is used as a first name, it means ÒNicolas,Ó but when used as a surname, it means ÒChristman.Ó And when ÒChristmanÓ is used as a first name it means ÒChristian,Ó while the second name becomes ÒChristman.Ó And if a third name is thrown into the mix to honor Saint Nicolas, to make ÒColas Colas Colas,Ó the name would then be known as ÒNicolas Christian Christman,Ó and the childÕs parents would probably call him ÒChrisÓ at home.
MAKING
THE DECISION TO LEAVE ROTHAU FOR PENNSYLVANIA
In 1736, the family of Jacob Christman had to stick together since the Church they knew and loved was challenged when their landlord, dÕAngevilliersÕ created a Counter-Reformation against the Lutherans. DÕAngevilliers installed a Catholic church in 1724 and ordered its Protestant neighbors to maintain the Catholic Church even though the church was empty. The new pastor, LŽopold Georges Pelletier, was an advocate of SpencerÕs Doctrine of Pietism, which was not well received by the Lutheran Reformists. Many devoted St Blaise parishioners quit attending church and so there was a sudden drop of reportage of sacramental events for the years of 1707 to 1712 when Pelletier was its pastor. Pietism so outraged the elder Sebastian Caquelin, to the point where he rallied his neighbors to join him in a pilgrimage to Pennsylvania[6]. One wonders whether he would have changed his mind given the gift of foresight as such a pilgrimage cost him the life of his eldest son.
To stay in Rothau or leave for Pennsylvania must not have been too difficult of a decision for JacobÕs stepfather, Peter BrŸllhard. Peter himself was trying to find his place in the world, having been a Swiss immigrant residing in the home of his wife, Odille. They had married when Jacob was a five-year-old boy, and the following years, brought Jacob two half-brothers named Peter and Jean in 1726 and 1728. Peter was a shoemaker from Walhern, and possibly an old family friend as OdilleÕs father was also from Walhern, and the people with whom she associated, were formerly from Walhern. One such friend is Peter Binkeley, whom in the New World, asked Odille and Peter BrŸllhard to godparent his daughter, Christina, at the Holy Trinity Church of Lancaster, on February 17, 1738[7]. This church, a Moravian congregation, would later invite Old Jacob into the order and bring him from Pennsylvania to North Carolina.
When Jacob and his family left Rothau in the Spring of 1736, Rothau had been a flourishing agricultural and metallurgic community that managed to recover from several wars and a sudden influx of foreigners settling into their villages. As a result of these new residents, the better established 50 families with their small harvests could not feed the population that had grown from 700 in 1723 to 2,300 inhabitants by 1750. Coupled with the sudden population boom and the subsequent famine was the religious intolerance of the Catholic-Protestants against the Lutherans. So when Jacob and his family began their journey to the New World, while their future was unknown, it couldnÕt have been worse than what they already experienced. And at least there would be some comfort in knowing that the trip would not be made without the support of friends.
Journeying to Pennsylvania, the families of Binggeli, BrŸllhard, Cacquelin, Christman, Ganier, Jacob, Jaquelle, Kommer, Mareschal, MŸller, Schlechter, Schmid, Teppe, and Verly, left their colombaged homes and headed north along the Rhine to Rotterdam. They traveled the river for two weeks and stationed at the port for three, preparing to trade their possessions in Cowes as they were warned that England would tax them for foreign goods although most of their belongings were handmade.
THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA EXPERIENCE
Of the families represented in the Ban de la Roche Registry included within this section, is JacobÕs next of kin found on the Princess Augusta Ship Manifest of 1736 [8] -- his stepfather, Peter BrŸllhard; uncles Didier Verly, Peter Binggeli and Jacob MŸller; cousin, Christian Teppe; and, future in-laws, the Heckendorns. Were it not for the St Blaise vital records of Ban de la Roche, the ship manifest of the Princess Augusta that sailed in 1736 may have looked like a document about individuals and not an entire region from Alsace. However, placing the manifest alongside the Ban de la Roche records, one sees that such a journey was not individual but collective. The people on the ship were not strangers to one another but a community making an exodus out of harmÕs way.
While many relatives of Jacob Christman are listed in the published records of the Princess Augustus Manifest of 1736, he is probably omitted because he was 16 years old and therefore represented by his head of house, Peter BrŸllhard, as it was the order that all children 16 and under, along with the females no matter what age they were, to be represented by head of house and not reported by name. Thus Jacob is omitted from the list, but there is a Jacob Christman, age 25. Efforts have been made to locate this person in the St Blaise registries but no record has been found for him nor a 40-year-old Jean Christian (Christman). Current discovery suggests that the Jacob Christman and Jean Christian mentioned in the Augusta manifest may have originated from the neighboring Plaine community east of Fouday, or closer to Barr where some Christmans migrated after 1700. Barr is in proximity to WŸrttemberg where Christman researchers claim as the place of origin, while others favor Rotterdam where Jacob of 1711 departed on the Princess Augusta.
The Ban families made their exodus along the Rhine for a three-week journey to Rotterdam, Holland. Once settled, the elders went about securing a passenger ship that would first take them to Cowes, England where they would exchange their possessions even though they were handmade. With newly acquired English-made products, the families believed they would be spared of taxation in Pennsylvania as England decreed all foreign goods would be subject to an import tax.
With their belongings stowed among the cattle and freight merchandise, the passengers boarded the Augusta and patiently sailed for three long months through summer weather. The ship, while called Princess, was not a luxury liner. Some three hundred and thirty passengers along with fifty or so crew sailed across the Atlantic in the most dreadful of conditions. Only the strong survived. One who did not was Sebastian Caquelin, age 22[9]. From the letter of a passenger who sailed the Princess Augusta, there is this accounting:
ÒPhiladelphia, October 20, 1736 [10]
My friendly greetings and service to you, my much
beloved Reverent Mr. Candidate Annoni and your beloved wife Ester Annoni, born
in Zwingerin.
I cannot desist from writing to you and to tell you
in a few words that I with my family - the loving faithful Father in Heaven be
praised for that - have come into this land fresh and healthy. But at sea our
two younger sons became sick with ship fever but, thank God, have regained
their previous health. But I now know nothing further to write because we have
come so late into this country and everything has already been harvested.
As to the journey, we were detained for 5 weeks,
have slept on the Rhine for 2 weeks and traveled from Rotterdam across the sea
for 12 weeks and 4 days until Philadelphia, but only 8 weeks from land to land,
and we did not have good wind save for 8 days, more contrary winds than side
wind. And as we saw land a new pilot came to us and we thought all was well and
won. All evening we got good wind from behind so that the ship moved
vigorously. The new pilot, however made cast anchor because it was not far
(from there) dangerous; in the morning when the anchor was lifted again and on
had barely gone 30 feet the boat ran into a rock, and it crashed that one
thought it would break in the middle. The anxious crying began, and one could
see where there was faith or not. Then the captain had a warning shot fired and
had a flag of distress hoisted, but we drove far out to the sea so that we saw
no land anymore for days and even thought we would never see it again.
As far as illness are concerned, the Mannheim
skippers had two of the boats sidewise together; in the one besides ours 7
children died of small pox and a woman of spotted fever, and in our boat 19
people died until Rotterdam. Those people who have means and are interested in
this land and need not go into debt, those I advise to stay where they are
because the journey is onerous and very dangerous. Thus who wants to come to
this land shall be well provided with butter and bacon, dried apple snips and
plums, and flour, wine and brandy and dried bread, tea and sugar. And if young
people come and cannot pay fare, there are enough people to redeem them from
the boat, and they must serve them a certain time for it. There are people with
whom I have talked myself who had brought not a penny into the land and had to
serve for their fare, now (they) are very rich people. But I do not know to
write much of the land because we came into it quite late and everything had
already been harvested, and one should not rely much on the talk of other
people, thus am willing, if it were to please the Lord in Heaven, to send very
accurate news in the future when I have investigated things my self.
But I have not yet taken up the land, but I am also
willing to wait until I know the land better or have approached trusted friends
so that I may believe them. I could have already taken up, however, more than
to 3 to 400 acres that have been much planted, and there would remain in my
hands quite a good portion of my imported wealth. What has already been cleared
of that place, meadow and fields, is for 6 horses, 8 cows, 12 goats, 14 pigs.
We are very sorry that at home we have not lived according to Christ's demand
on occasion, as we should have done.
Durs Thommen formerly of Niederdorff your servant.Ó
Having arrived to the New World, and eager to take their belongings to their new homes, the passengers were detained and their belongings, every scrap, seized. In other words, they were pirated. In the following document from the German-Swiss Ancestors' Forfeited Goods and Disposal of the Same[11], there is this accounting of the pilgrims losses:
ÒThe following petition (4 Col. Rec. 173) and the
added item show how our ancestors fared in the difficulties mentioned in the
preceding item. "To the Honorable Charles Read, Esq., Judge of the Court
of Vice Admiralty of the Province of Pennsylvania. The humble petition of
Nicholas Tainy, Benedict Youghly, Bastian Graffts and George Braffts,
passengers in the plea of the aforesaid Samuel Merchant, mentioned on behalf of
themselves and others, the passengers aforesaid, humbly showeth:
That the said petitioners and others, the passengers
aforesaid whose names are contained in a schedule hereunto annexed, were owner
and now claim property in Thirty Stoves, in the information exhibited, called
Chimney backs, five hundred and ninety-six Syths, One hundred and three large
Iron Instruments called Strawknives, Fourteen Iron Instruments called Drawing
knives, Twenty seven Iron stew pans, eighty one Iron Ladles, Five dozen and
three Iron Shovels, Twenty-seven Iron pot lids, Twelve Iron dripping pans and
frying pans, Thirteen axes and one hatchet, three small and one large crosscut
saws, one gross of Shoemakers' and two of Saddlers' awls, six box Irons and six
Chissels, Six Iron baking stove pans, Twenty three dozen of Clasp-knives, One
dozen of Steels, One dozen of Plyers and Hammers, Six Iron Lamps, Six Trowels,
One spade, One cask of nails and a smith's Vice, Fourten copper kettles, Five
Copper stills, Two dozen scissors, one packet of sleeve buttons and Studs, four
Umbrellas, Four dozen and one half of Worsted Caps, Two dozen of printed linen
caps, Six pair of worsted stockings, Four pieces of Striped cotton
Handkerchiefs, Twenty five pieces of Tape, Two dozen black Girdles, One piece
of black Crepe, One piece of striped Cotton, Nineteen pieces of Bedtick, Two
pieces of brown Linen, One piece of blue and white Lined, Two dozen of ivory
Combs, Two dozen and one half of tobacco Pipes with brass covers and a brass
box, Two dozen of Ivory needle cases, Three handbrushes, Three dozen of Pewter
Spoons, Three dozen of Spectacles, Eight looking Glasses, Eight Flutes, Six
wooden Clocks, and one dozen briarhook Sickles, in the information aforesaid
mentioned; that to them they belong and were imported for their own private
use, and not for sale; And say they are advised and hope to prove that the
sentence against the Goods, Wares, and Merchandise aforesaid ought not to be
put in execution, for that the proceedings in the cause aforesaid against the
said goods are Null, void, invalid, and of not force and effect in the law, for
the several causes following, viz: for that it appears by the plea of the said
Samuel Marchant the goods aforesaid were the goods of those Claimants, and
therefore, ought not to have been condemned with a hearing first given them,
And also an opportunity of examining witnesses, by which it might have appeared
to the Court here that the said goods were not liable to be condemned as
forfeited; also, for that by the practice of this Court and Law in such cased,
at least a third proclamation ought to have been made before the goods
aforesaid could legally be condemned; also for that the information aforesaid
is altogether uncertain and illegal, which has rendered the sentence grounded
thereupon, altogether null and void; the said information being exhibited on
behalf of the Governor or President, whereas, at the time of exhibiting of that
information, the Government, by the death of the late Lieutenant Governor and
the laws of this province, devolves upon and still continues in the President
and Council and not in the President only, and therefore the information
aforesaid ought to have been in the name of the President and Council of the
Province of Pennsylvania(in whom the power and authority of a Governor of this
Province, by the death of the said late Lieutenant Governor, Patrick Gordon,
Esq., deceased, is vested) and sentence ought to have been pronounced
accordingly. And even had this been done, as your Honor is a member of that
very Council, and consequently interested in the event of the forfeiture, if
any be, They submit it to your Honor whether it be consistent with the rules of
Justice and Equity that any sentence should be given in the premises at this
time and in this Court.
For which reason they humbly pray, that the said
sentence may be reviewed, reheard, & not put in execution; but that the
proceedings for the causes aforesaid may be declared invalid, null and void,
& that the goods, wares, and merchandise aforesaid be restored to their
owners. And they, as in duty bound pray.
Nicholas Tainy Benedict Youghly Bastian Graffts George Graffts.
A schedule or list was likewise annexed to the
foregoing petition, containing the names of One hundred and sixteen foreigners.
Which petition and papers annexed, are contained under consideration. All of
these goods were condemned and sold and the moneys given to the use of the
English Government.
Perhaps the pilgrims would take some comfort in knowing
that while all their worldly possessions had been outright stolen from them and
they were left without the clothes on their backs, that as luck would have it,
they were not on board the ship that chartered them from Europe to Pennsylvania
when it sank in 1738[12]:
German ship Princess Augusta, Captain Brook,
carrying 350 German immigrants from Amsterdam to New York was wrecked on the
northern tip of Sandy Point, Block Island. Previous to the disaster, 250
immigrants and some of the crew died from contaminated water. The ship was
reported to be carrying a considerable amount of personal treasures belonging
to the immigrants.
How Jacob came to settle into Guilford is a story about a
man who while just trying to stay afloat in life, managed to do so through
upheavals in his homeland, an exodus across the great Atlantic, and arrive to
manhood with hardly a scrap to call his own. His mother, a daughter of a man
who left his home in Walhern for religious freedom, passed on his stamina and
trust in God that would make their survival possible. Little did Jacob know
that the silver lining journeyed beside him as they sailed summer over the
Atlantic on a ship that would not last another voyage. Come September 1736, two
teenagers, Jacob Christman and Barbara Heckendorn, arrived to a new world-- an
Adam and Eve in their own right.

NAME
VARIATIONS OF THE BAN RESIDENTS AND REVISIONS MADE TO THEIR 1534 INCOME REPORT
FOR THE SEIGNORY OF BAN DE LA ROCHE.
1. Andreu or Annereu 1682, extinct by 1695.
2. Appel 1648, extinct by 18th century. Henri Appel was a shepherd or "Hoffman" from Belmont. In Barr, the name Apffel was widespread--there is a 1649 marriage of Heinrich Apffel, a shepherd and bourgeois of Forbelsberg, in Haut-Palatinate.
3. Aseman 1648, as Hazemann since 1534, but also Hasemann in the Belmont area.
4. Banset 1643, Bantzet, became Banzet in 1534 in Waldersbach. A branch of this family carried the nickname of Babilon or Babilion when found in Barr (Christman Babylon, son of Nicolas Banset of Bellefosse, married a Barr woman in 1641).
5. Bernhard, before 1639 known as Bernhard or Bernard. A line of this family through the 17th and 18th centuries held the nickname of Prince, while another took on the name of Mareschal or Marchal, which became Schmid for some time.
6. Beurtrin 1647, this surname became extinct by 18th century. Beurtrin, from Hautte Goute, appeared in the registers from 1648 to 1652. Emigrated towards Barr.
7. Boulangier 1650, Boulanger (Baker) remains widespread in the VallŽe de la Bruche, but does not seem to come from Boulangier found in Fouday about 1650.
8. Cacquelin 1640, known as Caquelin, is sometimes Caclin.
9. Colai, seen in 1643 was sometimes Coulas. By 18th century became Christman. First seen in 1534 with record of Dimanche Colla of Waldersbach. Cola> Colai> Collas>Coulas >Christman or Christmann (Christian). Maybe even Georg.
10. Claude 1652, or Glade, and sometimes Gladon.
11. Gladon 1648, also known as Claude. Surnames appear to be two distinct
families, 16th century: Munschina Clawe 1534 in Waldersbach.
12. Didier 1661, disappears thereafter.
13 Ganniere 1648, then Gagnier, Ganier, Ganire, Gagnire.
14 Grandmatthis 1647.
15 Groshaintz 1647, later known as Groshens and Grohens.
16 Hierig 1643, set as George, is also known as Jšrg and can be attached to Barr where this name was widespread.
17 Holveck 1649 (Didier Holveck, of Barr). Perhaps from Petite Pierre. Holvech.
18 JehanPierre 1654, this name disappears by 17th century.
19 Klein seen in 1651.
20 Krieger 1653, also spelled Krieguer.
21 LangHerig 1673, later becomes Grandgeorge.
22 Lienard, known as Beurtrin 1648, emigrated to Barr after 1652.
23 Lipp 1648, grand provost of the seigniory, disappears at end of 17th century. LippÕs descendents born in Barr in 1641, 1646, 1650, Belmont in 1648, 1659 , 1660.
24 Lux 1643, fixed as Loux. Sometimes Wolf as well.
25 Malaisier 1644, set as Malaise, and known 1534 in Waldersbach Hanns Malesy.
26 Marmet . Pasteur Marmet, a Lutheran, was born in Glay (Doubs) 1590. His wife, Esther Fassmann of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, was born in 1617. They settled in Ban de La Roche, but their name did not remain beyond 1718.
27 Matthieu 1649, extinct before the end of the 17th century.
28 Morel 1643, seen in 1534 in Belmont (Colin More).
29 Mougenat 1643, name disappears in 18th century.
30 Muller 1668. It is doubtful that Thomas Muller of Bern, Switz is related to Hans Muller listed in 1655 in Fouday, but may be connected with Jandon Boulangier.
31 Neuviller (Neuwiller, Neuwiller) 1649, set as Neuvillers. Example: From 1674 the death of "Christman Neuvillers son of Joseph Neuvillers and Anne native Ringelsbach of the Seigniory of Bern... 34 years old".
32 Parmentier 1643. This name refers to three distinct families, distinguished by trade (like tailor or widow or greater person).
33 Ringelsbach 1643 or Ringuelsbach. For Christman Neuvillers, there seems to be a Swiss origin that continues in Switzerland. Yet perhaps the name has a relationship with the ancient name of Riangoutte, a hamlet in Ban between Neuvillers and Hautte-Goute where name Ringelsbach was known during Middle Ages.
34 Rochelle 1649, known as Rochel. At the time of his death in 1670, Jean Rochelle is registered as Jehan La Rochelle.

38 Vonier 1640, also known as VoniŽ. Origin obscure.
39 Vouliat 1663, disappears around 17th century.
40 Maiden names of some 1655 women not carried after their marriages: Millan 1643, Charpentier 1647, Hainseligott 1648, Grand Stophel 1650, Claulin, Estienne 1678 (Steff), Christmann (reappears at the end of the century (see Colas), Thonhanns 1685, Herriatte or Herriette, ClouŽ 1684, Brosius 1673, Jennin 1682, could be a Swiss name (Jenni) .
