Other Events:

• Immigration: 1841, Warren County, Missouri, USA
• Census: Sep 1850, District 99, Warren County, Missouri, USA
• Census: Aug 1860, Charrette Township, Warren County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:
Hermann's family was living at Wester 21 at the time of his birth. Wester is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen.
     A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. The number 21 would indicate that this was the 21st farm established in this Bauerschaft. In the published records of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ), Hermann is from time to time referred to a "Hermann Fiegenbaum Jun."


Immigration:

     Hermann left Ladbergen at the age of 18. He traveled with his father, mother and unmarried sister, Christine Elisabeth (b. 1891). His family was accompanied by two other, related families. His married sister, Anna Elisabeth (Fiegenbaum) Aufderhaar, her husband, Johann Aufderhaar and their three oldest children also made the voyage. The third family consisted of his other married sister, Anna Christine Bierbaum, her husband, Johann Bierbaum, their child, and Johann's sister, Sophia Bierbaum (age 18). By 1843, when Hermann's older brother, Heinrich, emigrated, the entire family had left Germany.
     In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841. The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west and settled in Warren County, Missouri.

Census:
In the 1860 U.S. Census, the household consists of Hermann, his wife Florentine, and their three children, aged 7 months to 5 years of age. In addition, there is Hermann's father, and a young woman enumerated as Frederaker Rehmsen, age 24, born Lippe Detmold.

Buried:
Hermann was buried in the Zion Church Cemetery in Mayview, Missouri.

Hermann married Wehrmann, Wilhelmine Florentine Charlotte 18 Feb 1853, Warren County, Missouri, USA. Wilhelmine (daughter of Wehrmann, Johann Henrich Adolph and Kater, Wilhelmine Sophia Katherina) was born 7 Oct 1834, Almena, Principality of Lippe; died 1 Feb 1903, Mayview, Lafayette County, Missouri, USA; was buried , Mayview, Lafayette County, Missouri, USA. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Baptism: 19 Oct 1834, Almena, Principality of Lippe
• Immigration: 1851, Missouri, USA
• Census: Aug 1860, Charrette Township, Warren County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:
The Fiegenbaum family is in possession of a manuscript in German that I transcribe as follows:

Wilhelmine Florentine Charlotta Wehrmann
eheliche Tochter [von?] Colon Adolph Wehrmann nr 13 zu
Almana und dessen Ehefrau Wilhelmine Kater
deselbst, ist zu Almana geboren d. 7t (siebten)
October 1834 achtzehnhundert vier und dreißig und d.
19t desselben Monate und Jahre getauft.
               [word] aus dem Kirchenbuch[ ] zu Almana.

Almana d. 7t April 1849

                                                  Rainart,
[seal]                                        Pastor [surname unknown ]

I have translated the letter as follows:

Wilhelmine Florentine Charlotta Wehrmann
legitimate daughter [of?] Colon Adolph Wehrmann of number 13
Almana and his wife Wilhelmine Kater
of the same place, was born in Almana on the 7th (seventh) of
October 1834 eighteen-hundred thirty-four and
baptized on the 19th of the same month and year.
               [word] from the Church-book at Almana

Almana, the 7th of April 1849

                                                  Rainart,
[seal]                                        Pastor [surname unknown ]

     It is solely on the basis of this document that I have settled on the order of given names, even though later sources indicate that this woman was known to family, friends and the community as Florentine.

Immigration:
At about the age of 17, Florentine, as she was commonly known; her father; her step-mother, Wilhelmine (nee Meier); her brother, Conrad Heinrich Adolph Wehrmann; her sister, Friederike Henriette Wehrmann; and her half-sister, Dorothea Charlotte Wehrmann; emigrated from Germany. The family departed Bremen aboard the ship Rebecca and landed in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 4, 1851. They settled in eastern Missouri.

Buried:
Florentine was buried in the Zion Church Cemetery.

Notes:

Married:
Hermann and Florentine's marriage is recorded in the archives of the German Evangelical Church on Charrette in Holstein, Missouri (known since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ). Wilhelm Steineker and Ernst Büscher were witnesses (Ernst was also a witness at the marriage of Florentine's sister, Friedricke, about one month earlier).

Residence (family):
In 1863, Herman, identified as a 40 year old married farmer, was enumerated in a Civil War draft registration conducted in the Ninth Congressional District of Missouri ("7th sub-district in Warren County").

Census (family):
According to the 1870 U.S. enumeration, the household served by the Hopewell post office consisted of Herm [sic] Fiegenbaum, a 46 year old male farmer, born in Prussia and a citizen of the U.S.A; Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum, female, age 35, keeping house; and seven children: Florent [sic] Fiegenbaum (female, age 15); Louise Fiegenbaum (female, age 13); Henry Fiegenbaum (male, age 10); Fred[erei?] Fiegenbaum (male, age 8); Anna Fiegenbaum (female, age 5); Mary Fiegenbaum (female, age 3); and Frederic Fiegenbaum (male [sic], age 1) On the basis of other information, it seems likely that this youngest child was actually Friedericke Wilhelmine Fiegenbaum, a daughter born in August 1869.

Census (family):
According to the 1880 U.S. enumeration, the household consisted of Herman Fiegenbaum, a 57 year old farmer and his wife, Florentine Fiegenbaum, age 46, keeping house, and their seven children: Henry Fiegenbaum (age 20); William Fiegenbaum (age 18); Mary Fiegenbaum (age 13), in school; Frederike Fiegenbaum (age 10), in school; Frederich Fiegenbaum (age 8), in school; August Fiegenbaum (age 4); and Martha Fiegenbaum (age 2).
