1376 John JOHNSON
Everything about John Johnson presented below was recorded in Northumberland County, Virginia.
20 May 1653. John Johnson to be exempt from paying [Northumberland] County and Country levies “in respect of his lameness and inability to worke wch was contracted in the service of the Country in the last Massacre.” [1]
4 June 1655. John Johnson patented 85 acres. [2]
1 Dec. 1656. John Johnson owned 50 acres adjacent to Tho. Garrard. [3]
April 1660. John Johnson sold the 50 acres adjacent to Tho. Garrard to Wm. Thomas. [4]
14 Dec. 1663. Sam. Gocke of Great Wicocomako in Northumberland County, Virginia, gave and granted Jeffery Johnson, son of John Johnson, half of all of the land plantation and housing that he possessed. John Johnson and Anne, his wife, were to be allowed full use of the land and housing for their own benefit during the remainder of their lives. This was recorded on 20 Dec. 1666.[5]
5 Nov. 1668. John Johnson was paid 48 lb tobo from the county levy. [6]
18 Jan. 1668/69. John Johnson witnessed the deed of Lane to Whitford. [7]
19 May 1669. Henry Wicker, in his last will and testament dated 19 May 1669, gave Jeffery Johnson, son of John Johnson, one cow. The last will and testament was proved and recorded in Northumberland County, Virginia, on 22 June 1669. [8]
1377 Anne ???
It has been asserted that Anne was a Gooch.[9] The factual basis for this claim is unknown.
While has not been possible to find evidence that Anne, the wife of John Johnson, was a Gooch (or Gocke/Goche/Gouche/Gouch - Beverley Fleet believed that the last three of these surnames were variants of Gooch found in Northumberland County, Virginia, records), John and Anne Johnson had a daughter named Ann who was the wife of Samuel Goche/Gouch and then of Peter Byram, as the following demonstrates:
• By 10 Nov. 1683. Mrs. Ann Goche was a widow. [10]
• By 17 Sep. 1684. Mrs. Ann Goche was the wife of Pet. Byram. [11]
• 16 July 1685, Jeffery Johnson, brother of the wife of Peter Byram, was accused of abusing them while a guest in their home. [12]
• 21 May 1696. John Gouch, son and heir of Saml. Gouch was sued by Jno Harris, the administrator of David Whitford. In the record, the defendant’s mother is identified as the executrix of Saml Gouch decd. and the wife of Peter Byram. [13]
All of the preceding about Anne, the wife of John Johnson, was recorded in Northumberland County, Virginia.

1398 Richard NELMES
Richard Nelmes and his wife, Ann, might be the parents of Alice Nelmes based upon the fact that Richard transferred 400 acres in Northumberland County that he patented 20 Nov. 1652 to Richard Treadwell and Robert Jefferies, husband of Alice Nelmes on 18 March 1663/64.[14] This transfer would seem to imply kinship. Of course, it should be recognized that Richard Nelmes might be an uncle or brother of Alice Nelmes, rather than her father. As an aside, it is not clear why this transfer was recorded in the records of Westmoreland County, Virginia.
23 Jan. 1653/54. Richard Bennett, Esq., granted Abraham Moore 500 acres of land on the Great Wicocomocoe River for the transportation of 10 persons to the Colony of Virginia. On 23 Jan. 1655/56, the patent was assigned by Seth Foster, attorney for Mr. Moore, to Richard Nelmes. This was witnessed by Dan Roberts and was recorded and acknowledged on 23 Jan. 1655/56 in Northumberland County, Virginia.[15]
7 June 1656. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Rich. Nelmes was one of the witnesses to Wm. Thomas appointing James Gaylard to represent him in court. [16]
18 May 1657. Laurence Dameron of Northumberland County appointed his well beloved friend Richard Nelmes as his attorney for the matter of bringing suit against the estate of Thomas Reade, deceased, in court on 20 May. This was recorded on 20 May 1657 in Northumberland County, Virginia.[17]
18 July 1659. Richd. Nealmes was a witness to Gevase Dodson appointing his wife his attorney to acknowledge the sale of 550 acres. This was recorded on 20 July 1659 in Northumberland County, Virginia.[18]
21 Jan. 1657/58. Richard Nealmes gave and granted land on the Yeocomoco (Yoacomoco) River to John Earle in exchange for him assuming the quit rents on the land. This grant was recorded on 26 Feb. 1660/61 in Northumberland County, Virginia.[19]
24 July 1657. Richard Nelmes was one of the buyers at the sale of the goods of Thomas Reade, deceased. The sale was recorded on 21 Nov. 1657 in Northumberland County, Virginia. [20]
8 Mar. 1661/62. Richard Nelmes was designated by Peter Knight as his attorney in the matter of acknowledging the sale of 200 acres to Robert King. On 20 Mar. 1661/62, Richard Nelmes acknowledged the sale, and that acknowledgment was recorded on the same date in Northumberland County, Virginia. [21]
Jan. 1662/63. Richard Nelmes renewed his patent on 400 acres on the Yeoacocomo River adjacent to William Walker. In Mar. 1663/64, he assigned this land to Richard Todwell and Robt. Jeffreys. This transfer was acknowledged and recorded on 8 Mar. 1663/64 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Anne Nelmes, his wife, consented to the transfer the same day.[22]
1666. Rich. Nelmes recorded his mark for hogs and cattle in Northumberland County, Virginia. [23]
27 Jan. 1668/69. William Downing of Great Wicocomico River, Northumberland County, gave two sons 600 acres adjoining the land of Richard Nelmes.[24]
19 Mar. 1668/69. John Hayney of the Parish of Fairefeild in Northumberland County sold Thomas Lane a parcel of land adjoining that of Richard Nelmes. [25]
July 1670. Several persons provided statements to the court in Northumberland County, Virginia, concerning the illicit butchering of the hogs of Richard Nelmes, including his servant, George Whitthorne, 24, who appears to have been one of those involved in the activity.[26]

1400 Thomas HARDWICH
The Hardwich (also Hardwiche, Hardwick, Hardwicke, Hardich, Hardwitch, and Harwitch) family originated in Westbury, Somerset, England.
Thomas Hardwich was the father of James Hardwick, the immigrant to America. Thomas’s brother, William Hardich, came to America, but died a prosperous merchant in Bristol, England. Unfortunately, the church books for the local parish of Westbury are of no use in identifying the parents of Thomas and William. Thomas and William both filed their wills with the Prerogative Court at Canterbury, England. William’s was probated in 1669 and Thomas’s was probated in 1681. Both had considerable property for the time. Several other Hardwicks from Westbury (with their surname variously spelled) also filed wills with the Prerogative Court at Canterbury (PCC), specifically:[27]
• Richard Hardwicke, Yeoman (will probated in 1594)[28]
• John Hardwiche, Yeoman (will probated in 1617)
• Richard Hardwiche, Yeoman (will probated in 1618)[29]
• John Hardwich, Yeoman (will probated in 1621)[30]
• William Hardwich, Husbandman (will probated in 1637)[31]
• Richard Hardwitch, Yeoman (will probated in 1656)[32]
William, a grandson mentioned in the 1621 will of John Hardwich,[33] might be William, the brother of Thomas the ancestor. Two Thomas Hardwichs were witnesses to the 1656 will of Richard Hardwitch.[34] One of those might be Thomas the ancestor and the other might be his father. Unfortunately, the probate records for the diocese of Bath and Wells in Somerset were destroyed during World War II,[35] so identifying Thomas’s ancestry by searching through locally filed wills and administrations is not possible. Property records might hold the key.
Nicky Venning of Somerset, England, believes that Thomas's father was the Thomas Hardwich who was buried in Westbury on 20 June 1655. Furthermore, Nicky believes that the elder Thomas's father was John Hardwiche of Westbury, who died in 1617. The data used in developing these connections reportedly included both property records and PCC wills.[36]
The Hardwicks were an important family in Westbury in earlier times. On 22 February 1549/50, Richard Hardwick, "a prominent Westbury yeoman," bought the Westbury lands that Sir John Horner of Mell had obtained when the Bruton Priory was dissolved.[37] On 2 April 1574, that land was sold to George Rodney, the second son of Sir John Rodney of Rodney Stoke, by John Hardwich “the elder.”[38] It appears likely that John Hardwich “the elder” was the heir of Richard Hardwick. After the Rodneys moved away from Westbury (which occurred prior to 1600 -- they still had land in the community, they just were no longer living in there),
… the running of the village was firmly in the hands of the small reasonably prosperous group of yeoman farmers pre-eminent amongst whom were the Hardwich and Arney families ….[39]
In 1581, a special tax was levied. In the Tithing of Westburye, the following Hardwiches were taxed (emphasis added):[40]
• Alice Hardwiche widow
• John Hardwiche senior
• Richard Hardwiche senior
In 1610-11, John Hardwich Sr. was a Westbury churchwarden. His son Thomas, however, was evidently a hellion, as the following report excerpted from original court documents, shows: [41]
“Thomas Hardwich of Westbury, … Henry Spiringe and George Spiringe of the same labourers, they … within the space of one year … have been drunken in Wells and are common Haunters of alehouses and all be swearers and that the said George Spiringe … being drunken did ride up and down the said city … with a hacket scythe to the terror and danger of the inhabitants there dwelling.”
If Nicky Venning is correct, John the churchwarden and Thomas the hellion are the grandfather and father, respectively, of Eunice’s ancestor, Thomas Hardwick. [42] In 1651, Richard Hardwich, who might be one of Thomas’s brothers,[43] purchased Ash Tree Farm in Westbury from Sir Edward Rodney.[44]
25 Aug. 1612 (O.S.). The last will and testament of John Hardwiche was as follows (emphasis and paragraphing added):[45]
IN THE NAME OF GOD: AMEN:
And in the yeare of our Lord god 1612 and on the ffive and twentieth daye of August I John Hardwiche of westburie within the countie of Somerset yeoman and am sick of bodie but perfect of remembrance thankes be unto Almighty god doe ordain and make this my last will and testament in manner and forme followinge

15 Jan. 1613/14. Order made by Dr. Francis James and Thomas Southworth esq. John Beadle of Westbury, husbandman, and Johanna Boulton were accused of having a child out of wedlock. Provisions for the upbringing of the child were decided upon.
Thos. Hardwicke, Richard Churchowse, churchwardens
Jo. Hardwicke ju., William Clement, Jeffery Govie, overseers.[46]
Thomas Hardwicke, churchwarden, is possibly the man that Nicky Venning believes to be the father of Thomas Hardwick the ancestor of Eunice.
2 Jun. 1615. Nathaniel Still, J.P., examined Thomas Hardwick of Westbury after Thomas obtained a horse from Nicholas Harvoe, a Wells, Somerset, goldsmith.[47] This is probably the man that Nicky Venning believes to be the father of Thomas Hardwick the ancestor of Eunice.
26 Nov. 1617 (N.S.). The last will and testament of John Hardwiche was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, England.[48]
1641. Thomas Hardwitch of Westbury parish, Somerset, England, signed a Protestation Return. The other Westbury Hardwitches who signed returns were[49]
• David Hardwitch (was also one of three parish overseers; signed with his mark)
• Edward Hardwitch
• John Hardwitch
• Richard Hardwitch
The Thomas who signed the return is probably the man that Nicky Venning believes to be the father of Thomas Hardwick the ancestor of Eunice.
20 Jun. 1655. Thomas Hardwich was buried in Westbury, Somerset, England. No will has been found for this Thomas Hardwich.[50] This is the man that Nicky Venning believes to be the father of Thomas Hardwick the ancestor of Eunice.
19 Oct. 1657. Henry Martin was bound to Thomas Hardwick for four years in Virginia.[51]
17 Aug. 1658. The following servants were bound to Thomas Hardwick of Westbury, yeoman: [52]
• Moses Hardidge of Westbury for four years in Virginia
• Joseph Dryer of Wells, butcher, for four years in Virginia
• Elizabeth Warner, spinster, for five years in Virginia.[53]
If Nicky Venning is correct, Moses Hardidge was the son of Thomas’s brother, Richard. [54] It is possible that some references are to Thomas’s son Thomas.
Nicky Venning notes that some believe that Thomas was himself in Virginia,[55] but the entry says explicitly that he is in Westbury. He might have been acquiring laborers for his brother William. Alternatively, Thomas might have been acquiring indentured servants on his own account for sale by agents in America. According to R.J. Dickson,
Sometimes an Irish merchant who was neither the owner nor the agent of a vessel advertised for servants, offering to pay the expenses of the passage to America in return for the signing of indentures. Such indentures were then sold by agents in America or by the Irish merchant if he personally accompanied the servants to America.[56]
This is unlikely an activity only practiced by Irish merchants.
1 Aug. 1660. The following servants were bound to Thomas Hardwick, yeoman: [57]
• Suzan Yard of Wells, spinster, for four years in Virginia
• Thomas Foster of Wells for three years in Virginia
• Henry Vincen of Wells for five years in Virginia
• John Chipper alias Crumpe for five years in Virginia
• William Chipper alias Crumpe for five years in Virginia
10 Jul. 1661. Thomas Hardwick of Westbury, yeoman, and Nicholas Tanner of Nyland, yeoman, provided the bond so that Alice Tanner could administer the estate of the late Thomas Tanner. Thomas Tanner’s last will and testament was dated 26 May 1660. Thomas resided in Blackford in the parish of Wedmore, Somerset, England. Thomas Tanner’s estate was inventoried on 3 Jul. 1661.[58] Thomas was buried on 11 Jun. 1660.[59] Thomas Tanner and Alice Spencer of St. Cuthbert’s parish in Wells, Somerset, married in Wedmore on 10 Jan. 1656.[60] It is likely that Alice was Thomas Hardwich’s sister.
29 July 1661. The following servants were bound to Thomas Hardwitch: [61]
• Richard Jones for five years in Virginia
• Grace Adams for four years in Virginia
24 Oct. 1668. Thomas Hardich and his sister Alice Foster are mentioned in the last will and testament of their brother William Hardich [sic] of Bristol, England, formerly of Virginia.[62] Prior to Virginia, William lived in Maryland, where he associated with Walter Broadhurst, Dr. Thomas Gerard, and Nathaniel Pope. [63] He was
… first mentioned in Maryland records in 1642 when … sent with an expedition of soldiers to Kent Island. Subsequently Hardwick, Broadhurst, and Gerard testified against Richard Ingle and a warrant was issued to Hardwick to arrest Ingle for high treason.[64]
The last will and testament was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, England, on 8 January 1669. The English last will and testament refers to a Virginia will,[65] which has been lost. William (or his son by the same name) is sometimes mistakenly identified as the father of James Hardwick of Virginia.
The following is the text of the last will and testament of William Hardich (emphasis and paragraphing added):[66]
IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN

Because a deceased wife is mentioned in his last will and testament, Joan Hardwich, Thomas’s wife at the time of his death, might not be the mother of James Hardwick.
James Harwich, Thomas’s son and Eunice Verna’s ancestor, was named executor of the last will and testament. Just in case he was not around (he was overseas at the time that the last will and testament was written), four trustees were named to act on his behalf (at least three were needed to fulfill the role of whom Benjamin Arney must be one, according to the last will and testament).
The land mentioned in the last will and testament was that that could be bequeathed to individuals other than the primary legal heir. According to Cicely Howell,[76]
In law, land held in socage tenure could be devised by will (32 Hen. VIII) and before 55 Geo. III copyhold was devisable or not according to the custom of the manor. Leases were chattels and could be devised by will....
...Chattels, including corn growing on the land, could not descend to the heir; those which had not been devised [by a will] became the residue and were held in trust by the executor [of a will] for the next of kin.
Thomas Hardwich might have had land and structures, including houses, that went automatically to his primary legal heir upon his death. That real property would not have been mentioned in his last will and testament. The identity of his primary legal heir is unclear. It might be his son James. Alternatively, it might be his grandson Thomas, the son of his eldest but deceased son Thomas. Given that James had gone off to America prior to his father’s death and returned there after settling his father’s affairs, it appears likely that the heir was the grandson Thomas.
Thomas gave two closes to his heirs in his last will and testament: one to his son-in-law John Hardwich and one to his grandson Thomas Hardwick. A close was merely an enclosed piece of ground.
1680 or 1681. Thomas died and probably was buried in Westbury, Somerset, England.
28 June 1681. Thomas’s last will and testament was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, England.[77]

1402 John ARMSBY
About 1604. Born, presumably in England (based on entries for Aug. 1635 and Sep. 1655).
John ARMSBY of Virginia might be the John ARMISBYE who was likely born in Sep. 1604 in Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, England.[78] A quick review using shows that there are a number of other candidates, however, who were also born in about 1604.
7 Aug. 1635. Jo. ARMSBY, age 30, was among those who embarked on the ship, Globe, of London from England for transportation to Virginia.[79]
Sep. 1642. John ARMSBY was among those called to the General Assembly of Maryland in September 1642 from Kent County. He attended through his proxy.[80] Evidently John ARMSBY was one of the settlers brought to Kent Isle. The settlement was meant to be part of Virginia, but was successfully claimed by Maryland after significant legal and military struggles.
30 Jan. 1650/51. John ARMESBEE received a Virginia land grant of 250 acres on the South side of Potomack River, Beg.g &c. on the west side of a creek which divides this land and the land of Joseph Mattrom. The grant was made for the transportation of five people to Virginia.[81] This land was not entered into the records of the Treasury Office until 3 Dec. 1662, and the deed was not recorded in Northumberland County, Virginia, until 12 April 1672.[82]
16 Sep. 1651. Tho. Youlle received a grant in Northumberland County, Virginia, for 300 acres adjoining the property of John ARMSBY. [83]
17 May 1652. John ARMSBY of Nominye, Northumberland County, Virginia, recorded his mark for hogs and cattle.[84]
13 Sep. 1652. John ARMSBYE, Northumberland County, Virginia, is among those mentioned in the account of Abraham Johnson (Jansen) with Major Hallowes. This account was recorded, along with related material, on 13 Sep. 1652.[85]
8 April 1653. Richard Cole, merchant, bound himself to deliver to John ARMSBYE of Nominye, Northumberland County, Virginia, a male servant of at least seven years of age. This was recorded on 19 Sep. 1653.[86]
Feb./March 1653/54. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Walter Brodhurst deposed that he was given the task of delivering 432 pounds of tobacco from Henry Lilly to John Armslyes's house.[87]
26 Mar. 1655. John ARMSBY, Westmoreland County, Virginia, was among those who appraised the inventory of the estate of John Tasker, deceased. The inventory and appraisal was recorded on 26 Mar. 1655. [88]
23 Sep. 1655. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, John ARMSBY, age 51 or thereabouts, deposed concerning what Tho. Youll said while at ARMSBY's house. [89]
1 Oct. 1655. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Thomas Hawkins deposed that at the house of John ARMSBY he heard Thomas Youll caution the wife of Rich Wells concerning altering the ownership mark on a heifer prior to proving her rights to it. [90]
6 Oct. 1655. Edward Diggs transferred 300 acres in Northumberland County, Virginia, to Ralph Horsely. The land adjoined the property of John ARMSBY. [91]
15 Apr. 1657. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, John ARMSBY appears to have been one of the witnesses to an agreement between Edward Thomson and John Butler.[92]
3 Sep. 1657. George Watts received a grant in Northumberland County, Virginia, for 132 acres adjoining the property of Jno. ARMSBY. [93] Another source says that this transaction occurred on 3 Sep. 1651. [94]
12 Sep. 1657. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, John ARMSBY appointed Ann ARMSBY his attorney. The appointment was witnessed by Rice Maddocke and Phillip Silvester and was recorded on 12 April 1658.[95]
20 Oct. 1657. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Elizabeth Geffery deposed that the Searles went one day onto the property of Goodman ARMSBY and stole peaches, watermelons, and possibly other things.[96]
1657 and 1660. John ARMSBY of Nomony in Westmoreland County, Virginia, wrote a last will and testament dated 4 Sep. 1657. In the will, he named his wife, Anne, and his daughter, Anne, as his heirs (the will implies that Anne, the daughter, was under 16 at the time that it was written). Each was to receive half of his estate. The Executrix of the will was named as the wife of John, Anne ARMSBY. Rice Maddox and Richd. Flint witnessed the will. The last will and testament was proven on 10 Jan. 1660/61.[97]
18 Aug. 1662. Richard Wright and wife sold 900 acres in Northumberland County, Virginia, to Nicholas Spencer. The land adjoined the property of John ARMSBY. [98]
24 Feb. 1663/4. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, the court ordered that the will not be proven nor administration of the estate of Rice Maddox be granted until the guardian of the orphans of John Armsby be interviewed.[99]
27 April 1664. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, the court ordered that Wm. Churme continue as guardian of Ann Armsby, orphan, until Mr. Brodhurst provided security for guardianship. [100]
25 May 1664. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Mrs. Ann Bodhurst gave the court security for the guardianship of the orphans of John Armsby. [101]
31 Aug. 1664. In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Wilkes Maunder, security for the guardianship of Wm. Churme, was directed to deliver the estate of the orphans of John Armsby to Mrs. Ann Brodhurst. Wm. Churme was allowed 762 pounds of tobacco from the estate to cover expenses. [102]
1403 Anne ???
10 Oct. 1657. John Wood of Westmoreland County, merchant, transferred 200 acres on the "freshes" of the Potomac River in Westmoreland County, Virginia to Ann ARMSBY. The transfer was witnessed by John Nightingale and Rich. Browne, and was acknowledged by Wood on 20 Feb. 1657/58.[103] While the Ann Armsby mentioned might be the wife of John, it is more likely that it was Ann the daughter, since John Wood was a known associate of Walter Brodhurst, whose wife Ann was the younger Ann Armsby’s godmother.
After 10 Jan. 1660/61. Anne, the widow of John Armsby, subsequently married William Churn, according to a record dated 20 Aug. 1715 concerning land patented by John Armsby on 30 Jan. 1650/51.[104]

1900 Richard NEW
25 Jan. 1637. Richard New is one of the headrights listed in the patent of Edward TRAVIS for 900 acres in James City County, Virginia, dated 25 Jan. 1637.[105]
6 April 1655. Richard New patented 750 acres in James City County on the north side of the James River, east side of the head of Chickahominy Creek on 6 April 1655. The patent was acquired through a certificate for the transport of 15 Irishmen granted to Capt. [Francis] Barrett.[106]
20 October 1662. Richard Neaw received a Virginia land grant of 750 acres in James City County, on the north side of James River, and on the east side of Chickahominy River. This land was "Formerly gtd. sd. Neaw Apl. 6, 1655."[107]
1681. Richard was mentioned in a land patent for Richard Browne.[108] Richard presumably died sometime after this.

1922 Elias SIGG
Elias was born in about 1692, almost certainly in Canton Zürich, Switzerland, and likely in Adlikon, Switzerland, in the Reformed parish of Andelfingen.
Elias’s ancestors are unknown. He is known to have lived his adult life in Adlikon. Marx and Kleinhans are the first SIGG mentioned in the records relating to Adlikon. They appear in the Urbar [a rent and tax list] of Amt Töß in 1560 (the Kloster [Monastery] at Töß was their landlord; the village may have had other landlords, as well). In 1571, they were the only SIGG householders among the 20 in Adlikon listed on the Zollrodel [custom’s roll] for that year. In 1582, Jaggli SIGG was identified as one of those from Adlikon belonging to the Schützengesellschaft Andelfingen [the Andelfingen shooter’s association]. In 1599, the Verzeichnis der Kriegsmannschaft [list of warriors] for Adlikon mentioned 17 men, including Felix SIGG among those with firearms, Felix and Peter SIGG among those who were Doppelsöldner [soldiers receiving double pay in exchange for agreeing to fight on the front line[144]] with armor, and Kleinhans, Jakob, Benedikt, and Elias SIGG among those with spiked helmets and spears.[145] These men appear to have gone off somewhere with men from other communities in what was then the Reformed parish of Andelfingen,[146] and possibly from other Canton Zürich communities, as well. The Elias SIGG mentioned in the muster roll cannot be Eunice Verna MCMAHAN’s Elias, but he might be his father.
The table below summarizes the SIGG baptisms for 1565-1585 and 1607-1625 in Adlikon. Elias’s baptism is not among them. Baptism records stop during 1585 and do not resume again until after the start of 1607. If he was born in about 1592 in Adlikon, Elias must have been born during the gap in the records.

Source: Baptism records for Adlikon, Canton Zürich, Switzerland in the Reformed parish of Andelfingen [LDS Microfilm 0996801].
Based on the baptismal sponsors identified in the table, particularly those for the years 1565-1585, the SIGG in Adlikon from 1565-1625 were all likely related.
The SIGG in Adlikon provided a major proportion of the baptisms in that community from 1607-1625.[147] In 1670, about 44% of the families in Adlikon were SIGG. Some of these SIGG are reported to have come from the communities of Rudolfingen and Trüllikon, which were in Canton Zürich to the north of Andelfingen (which itself was north of Adlikon). By the census of 1740, over 33% of the families in Adlikon were SIGG. By 1826, only about 17% of the families were SIGG, and in 1850, about 20% of the families were SIGG.[148]
About 1592. Elias was born, probably in Canton Zürch, Switzerland, possibly in the community of Adlikon (based on age - 48 years - given in 1640 ecclesiastical census[149]).
27 Mar. 1614. Elias and Elßbeth SIGG were the baptismal sponsors of Elßbeth, the daughter of Andres MEŸER and Barbell KNÖPFLI (baptism no. 5, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]).[150] Given that Elias and Elsi KNÖPFLI had not yet married, Elßbeth SIGG is probably not Elsi KNÖPFLI.
4 Dec. 1614. Married Elsi KNÖPFLI of Andelfingen, Canton Zürch, Switzerland (marriage no. 2, community of Attlicken [Adlikon]).[151] The SIGG and KNÖPFLI families are known to have had friendly relations prior to this marriage. For instance, in 1582 in the community of Andelfingen, one of the sponsors of Anna, the daughter of Gerg and Barbel KNÖPFLI, was an Anna SIGG (after whom the child was named). The baptismal sponsors of the SIGG children of Adlikon included Eva KNÖPFLI in 1578 and Eleÿas KNÖPFLI in 1620. Also, another SIGG-KNÖPFLI couple in addition to Elias and Elsi resided in Adlikon: Felix SIGG and his wife Barbell KNÖPFLI of Adlikon had a child who was baptized in 1607.[152]
6 Aug. 1615. Lÿas and Elßbeth SIGG were the baptismal sponsors of Elßi, the daughter of Andres MEŸER and Barbell KNÖPFLI (baptism no. 9, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]).[153] It is not certain that Elßbeth SIGG is Elßbeth KNÖPFLI.
29 Oct. 1615. Baptism of daughter Barbell SIGG (baptism no. 11, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Leÿas SIGG and Elsi KNÖPFLI; sponsors: H. Peter KELLER, Andelfingl, and Maria ISSLICKERI). [154]
10 Nov.(?) 1616. Baptism of son Hans SIGG (baptism no. 18, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Leÿas SIGG and Elsi KNÖPFLI; sponsors: H. Peter KELLER and Maria ISSLICKERI). [155]
19 Apr. 1618. Baptism of daughter Ursell SIGG (baptism no. 28, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Eleias SIGG and Elsi KNÖPFLI; sponsors: H. Pet KELLER and Maria ISSLICKERI). [156]
17 May 1619. Baptism of daughter Elssi SIGG (baptism no. 36, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Eleÿas SIGG and Elsi KNÖPFLI; sponsors: Felix PFIFFER and Elßi HÖRNI; this child died in 1625). [157]
30 July(?) 1620. Baptism of daughter Aegness SIGG (baptism no. 51, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Elias SIGG and Elßbeth KNÖPFLI; sponsors: Felix PFIFFER and Elßi HÖRNI; this child died on 20 Mar. 1625(?)). [158]
1 Jan. 1622. Baptism of triplets: son Peter SIGG (baptism no. 59, community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; sponsors: Peter PFIFFER and Elßbeth HÖRNI; this child died); son Ulrich SIGG (baptism no. 60; sponsors: Ulrich WŸLLA and Maria ISLICKERI; this child died); and son Jacob SIGG (baptism no. 61; sponsors: Ulrich WŸLLA and Anali WŸLA). The parents of all three were Leÿas SIGG and Elßbeth KNÖPFLI. [159]
29 Mar. 1624. Baptism of son Ulrich SIGG (baptism no. 75; community of Adlicken [Adlikon]; parents: Eleÿas SIGG and Elßbeth KNÖPFLI; sponsors: Ulrich WŸLA and Anali WŸLA). [160]
About 1626. Birth of son Ulrich SIGG.[161]
About 1631. Birth of daughter Maria SIGG. [162]
1634. Helÿaß SIGG and Elsi KNÖPFLI, and children Barbell, 18, Hans, 16, Ulrich, 8, and Marÿa, 3, were included in the ecclesiastical census of Adlickhen [Adlikon] of 1634. [163]
About 1634. Birth of son Jagli SIGG. [164]
About 1638. Birth of son Hanß Jagli SIGG. [165]
1640. Helias SIGG, 48, Elsi KNÖPFLI, 43, and children Ulrich, 14, Maria, 9, Jagli, 5, and Hanß Jagli, 3, were included in the ecclesiastical census of Adtlicka [Adlikon] in 1640. [166]
1640-1643. Elias died. Elias was alive at the time of the 1640 ecclesiastical census but was dead by the 1643 census. [167]
1923 Elsi KNÖPFLI
About 1597. Elsi was born, probably in Canton Zürich, Switzerland, possibly in the community of Andelfingen (birth year based on her age in the ecclesiastical censuses of 1640 and 1643).
The KNÖPFLI were a prominent family in Andelfingen. In 1434, Johannes KNÖPFLI became the first Untervogt [deputy administrator] after Zürich took control of the Herrschaft Andelfingen [Lordship of Andelfingen]. At the time, the Obervogt [Zürich’s assigned administrator] resided in Zürich, so Johannes was the local representative of Zürich’s authority. [168] In the Zürich muster list of circa 1443, “Der Knöppfly” (first name not recorded) was the leader of the men from the community of Andelfingen with hand cannons.[169] This leader was the next Untervogt, Heini KNÖPFLI, Johannes’s son, who succeeded his father in 1442. In 1490, Hans KNÖPFLI, another member of the family, served as Untervogt. By this time, the Obervogt was operating out of the old castle in Andelfingen.[170] In the muster roll of 1599 for Andelfingen, Hans Jakob KNÖPFLI was among those with firearms, Helias and Jakob KNÖPFLI were among those who were Doppelsöldner [soldiers receiving double pay in exchange for agreeing to fight on the front line[171]] with armor and spears, Hans KNÖPFLI was among those with spiked helmets and spears, and a second Hans KNÖPFLI was among those with spiked helmets and short weapons. [172]
In the table below are the KNÖPFLI baptisms for 1581-1586 in Andelfingen. Elsi’s baptism is not among them. The baptisms in the table do provide candidates for her parents, however. Jacob and Elsbeth, Heinrich and Barbel, and Alexander and Verena all had two children each during this period. Of course, any of the couples listed might have been Elsi’s parents; additionally, a newly married couple or an older couple that is not on this list might have been her parents.

As can be seen in the table, in 1582, one of the sponsors of Anna, daughter of Gerg and Barbel, was a SIGG, Anna. Thus, there was an early connection between the KNÖPFLI and SIGG in Andelfingen. After 1607, there were two KNÖPFLI-SIGG couples having children: Elias and Anna, and Hans and Margreth. Given Elsi’s birth in around 1597, she might be a daughter of any of the couples in the table. Her parents also might be a couple that started and finished having children during the gap in the records.
The baptismal sponsors of the SIGG children of Adlikon included one KNÖPFLI, Eva, in 1578, and one, Eleÿas, in 1620. In addition, there was another SIGG-KNÖPFLI marriage in the village in addition to that of Elias and Elsi: Felix SIGG and his wife Barbell KNÖPFLI had a child in 1607. Thus, in Adlikon, there was a SIGG-KNÖPFLI connection from at least 1578.
1622. Elßi KNÖPFLI was sponsor at the baptism of Jacob, a son of Ulrich WASSER and Anali KÜSLI (baptism no. 65; community of Adlicken [Adlikon]). [173]
1643. Elsÿ KNÖPFLI, 46, widow of Eeÿas SIGG, and children Ulrichli, 17, Maria, 12, Jagli, 8, and Hanß Jagli, 5, were included in the ecclesiastical census of Attlichen [Adlikon] in 1643. [174]
1646. Elßi KNÖPFLI, 49, widow of Leÿas SIGG, and children Ulrichli, 20, Maria, 15, Jagli, 11, and Hanß Jagli, 8, were included in the ecclesiastical census of Attlikhen [Adlikon] in 1646. [175]
1650. Elsi KNÖPFLI, 38 [sic], widow of Eÿas SIGG, and children Maria, 20, Jagli, 16, and Hanß Jagli, 12, were included in the ecclesiastical census of Attlichen [Adlikon] in 1650. [176]

1936 Claas RITTINGHAUSEN
About 1638. Daughter Margaret was born. On 11 Aug. 1654, she married Jan vom BRÜHL.[177]
1644. Son Wilhelm (“William”) was born. [178]
About 1648. Son Nicholas Heinrich (“Claus”) was born. He married Claesken RIDDERS in or near Mülheim in about 1675. Soon thereafter, they moved to the Netherlands, where he was involved in the production of paper. The couple had four children. Claus was an alderman in Rosendaal, and later a citizen of Dordrecht. He died in May 1718.[179]
1937 Maria HAGERHOFF
About 1615. Born.[180]
[pic]
1938 Peter KERSTEN
1600-1620. Born probably in The Netherlands (based on birth years and birth country of his children).
Before 1640. Married Claerken EVERTS.
Possibly 1640s. Birth of son Jan Petersen LUBBERHUYSEN in the Reformed parish of Hall, The Netherlands (birth year range based on birth years of sisters).[181]
About 1640. Birth of daughter Agnes [PETERS?] in the Reformed parish of Hall, The Netherlands.[182]
About 1642. Birth of daughter Geertruid PIETERS, possibly in Eerbeek, The Netherlands, in the Reformed parish of Hall (birth year based upon being 66 in February 1708; birthplace based on place of origin indicated on marriage record).
1646. In 1646, Peter KERSTEN leased the mill of Willem Staelwerck. At the time, it was a grinding mill, not a paper mill.[183] Presumably, this mill was in the vicinity of Eerbeek in The Netherlands.
1 Feb. 1669. Willem RITTINKHUYSEN and wife Geertruid PETERS, along with Peter KERSTEN and wife Claerken EVERTS, came to an agreement with Jan Petersen LUBBERHUYSEN, the son of Peter KERSTEN, concerning “…the water serving Peter Kersten’s mill and the paper mill named Het Klooster (The Cloister), at the other side of the brook,” which was Jan’s.[184] Het Klooster was located in Eerbeek, The Netherlands.[185] Peter KERSTEN is identified with Het Oude Klooster [The Old Cloister], a former paper mill in Eerbeek, The Netherlands.[186] Co-located with Het Klooster [The Cloister],[187] it was the paper mill he was operating in 1669. Het Oude Klooster still exists.[188]
After 1 Feb. 1669. Died.
1939 Claerken EVERTS
After 1 Feb. 1669. Died.
