Johann Adam Bühler marr to Margaretha Cammererin 13 May 1755 film 102078348 page 478 |
On the 13th of May 1755, after prayer hour was held, were married, Johann Adam Bühler, legitimate unmarried son, in the wagonbuilder? craft, of Johann Georg Bühler, citizen in Wößingen, with Margaretha, née Cammererin, the surviving widow of the late "Jo:" [i.e., Georg] Philipp Zwecker, citizen and wagonbuilder?
Comments: I am interpreting the German word for "wagonbuilder" in the record as: Wagner. This word occurs in two places in the record (at the end of the second and third lines), though I'm not completely certain that the word is "Wagner" (hence the ?) because in both instances the scribe makes a very unusual capital "W". He also makes an unusual initial "W" in the second word "Wittwe" in the last line of the record. Oddly enough, however, for the place name "Wößingen" the capital "W" looks normal.

Wössingen is approximately 12 miles southeast of Graben.

Born on the 23 May 1777 (not the 13th) and christened on the 25th May 1777 was Bernhard NAGEL. His father was Bernhard NAGEL a local citizen and his mother was Maria Elisabetha ZWECKER(in)

Remark: He immigrated 11 August 1819 to Odessa (Russia)
The Reformation of 1521 ignited religious wars.
1. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) resulted in a 30% loss of population.
2. Treat of Westphalia (1648) gave the Holy Empire partial control of Germany.
3. Invasion (1674) of Louis XIV of France brought destruction of many cities.
4. War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) again brought French armies.
5. Seven Years War (1756-1763) involved all Europe with Germany the battlefield. There was utter poverty after the Seven Years War. Germany was weak; it did not have a central government. It was patchwork of 75 pricipalities, 51 imperial cities and 1,475 areas ruled by knights. Subjects were serfs.
Now Czarina Catherine II, a former German princess, offered a glittering proposal of privileges and free land. By her Manifesto of July 22, 1763, settlers were invited to build colonies along the sparsely settled Volga. The terms were:
1. Unqualified religious freedom.
2. Freedom from taxation and licenses for 30 years to rural settlers.
3. Government support with interest-free loans and repayments after 10 years.
4. A guarantee of self-rule within the colonies.
5. Permission to bring personal possessions with them duty free.
6. No military service for all settlers and their descendents.
7. Free transport to areas of settlement.
The Manifesto elicited a wide response. From 1763 to 1767 more than 6,000 families (27,000 people), mostly from Hesse and the Rhineland, emigrated to the Volga. Later (1812-1842), others from South Germany settled along the Black Sea. Then (1816-1881) more Germans settled in Volhynia.

I believe the third baptismal witness, Maria Sidonia Meier, is married
to Christoph Zwecker (despite how it reads in the record). In
FamilySearch Family Tree see: Christoph Zwecker (KHHS-4XF) and Maria
Sidonia Meier (KC8V-6W9). The couple lives in Graben. Also note that
Christoph Zwecker's mother is Maria Margaretha Cammerer (1722-1789).
