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 Jacob's 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. When the family of Rupe (Stein) became Steintal's 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 money's 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 Jacob's 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 Jacob's 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 Christmann's 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[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 Ban's 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 Jacob's 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 Verly's 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 Jacob's 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 Year's 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 Odille's 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 Lutz's paper, The Population of Ban de la Roche After the Thirty Years War[5]. 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 "Jean" at home, in the church (owned by government), Jean was known as "Hans Wolf" or sometimes "John Wolf."

Depending on which Seignory was in power, the Ban's 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 Ban's 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 participant's 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 saint's name. Thus "Jean Jacob" would be known as "Jacob," and his mother, Odille, would be called "Odille" because she did not have a middle name but Alsace's 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 - named after father's father

  2nd son - named after mother's father

  3rd son - named after father

  4th son - father's paternal grandfather

  5th son - mother's paternal grandfather

  6th son - father's maternal grandfather

  7th son - mother's maternal grandfather

                        GIRLS

  1st dau - named after mother's father

  2nd dau - named after father's father

  3rd dau - named after mother

  4th dau - mother's paternal grandfather

  5th dau - father's paternal grandfather

  6th dau - mother's maternal grandfather

  7th dau - father's 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 participant's village, vocation, and whether elder or younger. As there were many repeated names for Jacob Christman's 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 participant's names to differentiate one from the other. This was a sensible method until dealing with a name like Christman because "Christman" is interchangeable with "Christian" and sometimes "Nicolas." In the entries of Christian Christman, the son of Nicolas Christman, the Patois translation reads "Colas Colas son of Colas Colas." Does this mean that Nicolas Christman's father's surname was Colas? Evidently not because Nicolas' grandfather, Georg Christman, had his name inverted when called "Christman Georg." And so, when "Colas" is used as a first name, it means "Nicolas," but when used as a surname, it means "Christman." And when "Christman" is used as a first name it means "Christian," while the second name becomes "Christman." And if a third name is thrown into the mix to honor Saint Nicolas, to make "Colas Colas Colas," the name would then be known as "Nicolas Christian Christman," and the child's parents would probably call him "Chris" 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, d'Angevilliers' created a Counter-Reformation against the Lutherans. D'Angevilliers 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 Spencer's 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 Jacob's 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 Odille's 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 couldn't 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 Jacob's 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 harm's 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:

"Philadelphia, 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."

 

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:

"The 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

18    JehanPierre 1654, this name disappears by 17th century. 

19    Klein seen in 1651.

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.

34    Rochelle 1649, known as Rochel. At the time of his death in 1670, Jean Rochelle is registered as Jehan La Rochelle.
