pastor says Reis and
his
Knobloch wife
were in
Mettenheim,
Wartenberg [County],
where they had a
daughter confirmed
in 1763 (Mai&Marquardt#1248).
So Wittenberg

as
Wartenberg.

mentions as being in
an apparently
fictional
Wittenberg country were widely scattered in Kursachsen, and one was in an isolated piece of

all seeminly
unrelated and not

WittmannVV
(aka
Solothurn, Solotoje): a Roman Catholic German colony founded in 1767, moved in
1770, on the eastern
side of the Volga
river not far from
Rosenheim.
To the best
of my knowledge no
copy of its First
Settlers’ List has
been found and
published.
Anyone
learning of such a
document, please let
us know immediately.
However, we
have origin
information on a few
of its first or
nearly first
settlers – this
information is
available
in
“Kolonisten des
Lokators
Beauregard, die
voruebergehend in
anderen Kolonien
angesiedelt wuerden”
in pages 349-380 of
Pleve,
Einwanderung …,
vol.4. The numbers
in parens below
indicate the
position of a family
in that list,
identified in this
Index as
Lk.
In addition,
we have names of
some who probably
were first settlers
here because either
other colonies said
they moved in from
Wittmann or they were living in Wittmann in 1798 – and in both cases I found no record saying they
had moved to
Zug from any
other village, and
they were not found
in any printed FSL;
in the list below
such families are of
unknown origin and
have no number in
parens following
their name.
Placenames in
italics are taken
from Kuhlberg lists
as printed in the
Pleve books.
from
Arnweiler?: (Katzendorn{Matthias}132);
from
Basenstein?: (Katzendorn{Carl}123,
and maybe
Stock{Johannes}23a);
from
Bassenheim [Barony?]
Schumann{Heinrich}77);
from
Burinos?: (Wellinger{J.Adam}69);
from
Kerzenheim, [Nassau-Weilburg Principality]: (Mueller{J.Heinrich}107);
from [Kur-]Mainz: (Klein{Conrad}111);
from
Orb, [Kurmainz]: (Bittel{Caspar}124);
from
Pfaffenwiesbach,
[Walbott Barony]: (Anfang{FranzAnton}106);
from
Rebsdorf, [Isenburg-Birstein Principality]: (Boos{Caspar}126);
from
Schuesselfeld?,
Bamberg[sic]: (Gillich?{Erhardt}133;
from
Wernborn,
Bassenheim [Barony]:
Dinges{Anton}108.
The following were
listed in other
colonies in 1798 but
were said to have
come from
Wittmann and
thus may represent
Wittmann first
settler families:
Beidorf{Margaretha},
Engel{Konrad},
Goetz{Dorothy},
Stengel{Elisabeth};
These were listed in
Wittmann in 1798
with no previous
colony indicated,
and thus may
represent
Wittmann first settler families:
Leindecker/Leidecker{Konrad}.
Wittmayer
FN: said by
KS:488 to have
gone to
Glueckstal; the
GCRA thinks he may have come from Pforzheim, but does not confirm him in Glueckstal; see their book.

WittwergerFN
said by the
Frank FSL to be

Aurach(?),
Wuerttemberg. Later
spelled

The
Buedingen ML
said the
Wittwaeger man
fromUC
Auerach
married a
Leonhard woman
fromUC
Sprenglingen in
1766; later the
couple moved to
Frank (Mai&Marquardt#638).
Doris Evans

origins were
confirmed in
research done by
Ruth Froelke for the
Frank Research Fund:
he was born 1743 in
Sprendlingen.

place said by the
Boregard FSL to
be homeUC
to a

Wochern,
Lothringen: an unidentified place said by the Hoelzel FSL to be homeUC to a Schmidt{Nikolaus} family.
It seems
likely that this was
Wochern which is
some 14 miles SE of
Luxembourg city
and some 5 miles W
of Merzig, Saarland.
However,
in a nearly
contemporary map
this place looks
like it was 2 miles
N of the Lothringen
border situated so
that it might have
been in either a
small Barony, in
Kurtrier or in
Luxembourg Duchy.
