Johann Karl Gottlieb Theunert was born in Germany around 1800. We believe that he died in Pittsfield, MA on 7 Jun 1877, but we have not been able to prove it. He married Johanna Rosalie Mennig sometime around 1821, possibly in Marklissa, Prussia. We are currently searching for the marriage record as well as the death records. Johanna Rosalie Mennig was born around 1795 in Germany. We believe that she died somewhere in Berkshire county, Massachusetts between 1855 and 1877.

NOTE: DEATH INFORMATION NOT COMPLETELY PROVEN YET

NEED: BIRTH/BAPTISM INFO BIRTH ABT. 1800 IN GERMANY (POSSIBLY MARKLISSA OR LAUBAN, IF WE ARE LUCKY), MARRIAGE IN MARKLISSA OR LAUBAN (HOPEFULLY) SOMETIME AROUND 1821. IS THERE A PHOTO OF HIM ANYWHERE OUT THERE?

Ancestor's Life Events

Schutzverwandter - (2) (synonyms include Einwohner) resident of a town or especially of a city, who only enjoyed limited burgher rights. They were mainly those who owned no landed estate that they could bequeath to their heirs. They often owned a house on the property of a full burgher, and therefore in the villages they were often call Häusler, they often worked for their landlords or hired out as day laborers. "Bürger - Modern meaning: citizen, person belonging to a particular nation or community. Historical definition: Member of a certain social class defined by its assets and bound by certain traditions. (These definitions were from Duden, and I'm sure the details varied depending on the place and time). In genealogy, I always translate this as "burgher" rather than "citizen" to distinguish it from "the modern concept of national citizenship.) source: http:/johnaddleman.bobaddleman.com/immigrant.html This is also possible (source: http:/archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-DE/1996-08/0839391418): They were "protected" (="Schutz") but had their citizenship rights elsewhere, having moved to the town from some other place.
