County]:
is some 3 miles WSW
of
Buedingen city,
and
said by the Buedingen ML to be home of a
Rutt/Ruth family
that went to
Balzer (Mai&Marquart#417);
Bonner
proved this origin.
Peter Zinnkann
reporting in writing
from the
Buedingen
Archives in 2005
told Alan Cropper of
a
Koehler man
whose name and age
matched that of the
immigrant to
Balzer had been
born in
Buedingen, [Isenburg-Buedingen
County]
on 12.04.1733 to
parents who had come
there from the village of
Calbach,
[Isenburg-Buedingen
County].
Ruth Schultz
found that the
Weitzel{Jacob}
family that went to
Norka having previously married in Boenstadt, left for
Russia
from
Calbach.
The
Buedingen
ML also says
Calbach was homeUC
to
a
Wagner man who
married in 1766 an
adopted daughter of
a
Reuther family;
by 1767 the couple
was in
Kutter; Stumpp
says Calbach was
near
Buedingen (Mai&Marquardt#534).

In 1798
