  • Name Fiegenbaum, Anna Christine Elsabein 
    Born 7 Jan 1815  Ladbergen, Kingdom of Prussia Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] 

    •      Anna's family was living at Overbeck 16 at the time of her birth. Overbeck 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 16 would indicate that this was the 16th farm established in this Bauerschaft.
           During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire.
           In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems).
           After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia (German: Königreich Preußen).

    •      Anna Christine Elsabein (about age 26), her husband Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (about age 29), and their only child at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Bierbaum (less than 1 year old), emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia. Accompanying them was Johann's sister, Catharina Sophia Wilhelmine Bierbaum.
           This family group was joined by her married sister, her husband and their three children, and also by her parents and their two unmarried children.
           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 until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri.
    Died 14 Aug 1894  Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [13, 14, 15]

      Johann Heinrich Fiegenbaum, born 6 July 1787 at Ladbergen, and Chatherina [sic] Elisabein [sic] Hagen, born 26 September 1786 at Ladbergen-Overbeck 16, were married in 1810 at Ladbergen.
           Lieselotte wrote: "At the beginning he and his wife, neé Hagen, lived in the "Heuerhaus" on the ground of the farm Hagen and belonging to it at Ladbergen, Overbeck 16. "Heuerhaus" means: a smaller house which belongs to the main farm. To the Heuerhaus always belong a few acres. Normally people living at a "Heuerhaus" are tenant-farmers who pay rent partly in work.
           "During the time the couple lived at Ladbergen-Overbeck their two daughters were born. Their only son was born at Ladbergen, Wester 21."
           Later in her letter, Liselotte indicates that this couple had 5 children.

    20. [S135] Bill Roege, Ladbergen Genealogy Database (2nd draft edition; November 1999) (http://members.aol.com/WRoege/ladbergen.htm - last confirmed in March 2005).
      Herman Heinrich Fiegenbaum and Catharina Elisabeth Hagen were married on 13 July 1810 at Ladbergen, Westphalia, Germany. Bill Roege included a note for this event: "husb (*6.7.1787), parents Herm Heinr Fiegenbaum & Anna Cath Horstmeier; wife (*26.9.1786), unmarried dau hlg Joh Heinr Hagan & Anna Elis Holtkamp."
           I believe the note may be based on the marriage entry in the records of the church at Ladbergen. It should be noted that the date format starts with the day, followed by the month. This should be obvious with the birth date of the "wife" - 26.9.1786 is 26 September 1786. I am guessing that the letters "hlg" in the note stand for the German word Heuerling.
