About the name: The name “John I” is used in this book to distinguish him from his son, Johannes — referred to here as “John II” — and from his grandson who is referred to here as “John III.” Hans Jakob appears to have also used the Anglicized form “Johann” since his name is written this way on the manifest of the ship Amelia which brought his family to America.
Note that John I’s mother died on Feb 27, 1807 before John reached age 2. Since he is not recorded as having any siblings, it seems likely that aunts and uncles would have played a role in raising him.
John I and Cecile had four children:
Elisabeth baptized in Taeuffelen, Oct 7, 1827.
Johannes [John II] baptized in Taeuffelen, Nov 21, 1830.
Anna Maria baptized in Siselen, Oct 27, 1833.
Jakob baptized in Siselen, May 29, 1836.
After the death of his first wife Ceclie, John I married his cousin, Barbara Warmbrodt. Hans Jakob and Barbara had three children:
Anna baptized in Siselen, March 1843.
Bendicht baptized in Siselen, March 1845.
Fred born in 1847; no record of baptism.
