Ernst Dannheim & Family

Georg Ernst Freidrich Dannheim was born at the beginning of the 1800s in Walle, Kingdom of Hanover. Some records say it was in 1806 (1), some that his year of birth was 1810 (2, 3).

Ernst married Julianne Kälberlein who was born in Walle on 10 October 1812. According to my research, their children born in Walle as well were (4):

• Marie Friedericke - born in 1834,
• Wilhelm Heinrich - born 30 March 1838,
• Wilhelmina - born 7 March 1840,
• Heinrich - born 15 December 1843.

 

On 18 September 1845 (5), the family left Bremen on the deck of the ship Everhardt, under Captain Haake (6). The Dannheim family registered on the list of Everhardt passengers consisted of: Dannhein Ernst Friedrich (the father), Juliana nee Kalberlein and their children Julian, Otto, Johanne, and Ernest (7). 

The number of the children matches the information included above, however, the names differ. Maybe, a reason was that each of them, including the parents, had more than one (possibly, at least three) given names, and not all of them are included/known in the records?

They reached Galveston in December. Then, the family then traveled to Mineola, and later, for three weeks proceeded to New Braunfels. The place was overcrowded, packed with immigrants, and the living conditions more than horrible - disease and death assisted them all (which I have mentioned in some of the previous posts regarding the early immigrants to Texas). Finally, on 6 May 1846, Ernst and his family reached the area of the Pedernales River. G E F Dannheim had been promised some land (by the German Emigration Company) on the Colorado River, but it appeared the land was not available for settlers. It was in possession of Indians who inhabited the region.

The immigrants, including the Ernst Dannheims, put up tents not far from the place where Delaware Indians camp was situated. The newly arrived Europeans awaited food and supplies, which were supposed to be provided by Adelsverein - the Emigration Company. There was nothing, though, but starvation. The situation became critical - the people tried to survive any way they could - e.g. they used acorns to make coffee and flour for bread. The friendly Indian tribe helped them as well. Eventually, seven men (with Ernest among them) decided to go on foot to the Adelsverein headquarters in New Braunfels and claim what they had been promised. The men were assured the provisions would be delivered and that did happen later. 

♦ 4 June 1848 - Hanna Sophie Caroline was born to Ernst and Julianne in Fredericksburg.

After two years, when the crops were good, the famine period in the settlement finished. Tragically, death came back in bunches with a cholera epidemic in 1849.

♡ In the same year, Marie Friedericke married Herr Fritz Winkel.

The tax record from 1950 informs that Ernst Dannheim had 20 acres of land, town lot no. 363 in Fredericksburg, block no. 53 (8). A year later, the man owned two town lots no. 363 and 257. He also had 5 head of cattle (9). In 1853, the herd grew to 10 head (each of them worth $6), and the value of Ernst Dannheim's estate was $220 including the land and the two town lots as well (10).

♦ 19 January 1852 - son Ernst Jr. was born in Fredericksburg. 

♦ 17 March 1854 - another daughter Caroline was born (11).

1854 - the family number of cattle given in the tax record was 15. The value of the family property grew up to $270 (12). Later Ernst sold the town lot #257 and bought a lot no. 364. In 1856, besides 20 heads of cattle, 1 horse, and 1 wagon (13).

In the same year, the Ernst Dannheims, together with a few other families (the Hasses, Lehmbergs, Bauers, Pluennekes, Kothmanns, and Hoersters) relocated to Upper Willow Creek area (14).

On 8 August 1856, when the local charter of the Methodist Church was founded, the Dennheims became its members as well.

Not long after that, on ♡ 30 December of the same year, Wilhelmina (Minna) married Otto von Donop (15).

Six years later, the two town lots in Fredericksburg which belonged to Ernst were worth $200 (16). The value of the land grew and in 1869 it was $340 (17).

♡ 14 June 1865 - Wilhelm Heinrich married Miss Sophie Meier (18).

♡ 28 February 1867 - Sophie Caroline (19) married John Lemberg (Lehmburg).

15 June 1870, the Dannheim family lived in Mason County (post office Mason). On that day, the census clerk Mr. Francis Kettner recorded Ernst Dannheim (age 64), his wife Juliana (age 58), their children Henry (age 26), Ernst (age 17), and Caroline (age 15). The parents and their eldest son were born in Prussia, the other ones were born in Texas. Ernst and Henry's occupation was raising cattle (20).

In the autumn of the same year, on ♡ 5 October Henry (Heinrich) married Miss Minna Lemberg (Lemburg) in Hilda Methodist Church in Mason (21).

♦ Ernst Dannheim died about a year later, on 10 April 1871. 

In the same year, Ernst Jr. went to Berea in Ohio, where he studied at Baldwin University to become a teacher (22).

After Ernst Sr.'s death, his wife Julianne moved to Art, where she lived at the home of her daughter Minna and the daughter's second husband Otto von Plehwe.

The youngest daughter of Ernst and Julianne Dannheim's, ♡ Caroline married Mr. Friedrich Thumm on 11 February 1875 (23).

♦ Julianne Kaelberlein Dannheim passed away on 8 August 1904.

More About von Donop/von Plehwe family

After Otto von Donop's death, Mina (Wilhelmina), his widow, married Otto von Plehwe. It happened on  26 January 1880.

Mina's second husband Otto von Plehwe was born on 26 August 1844 in Berlin. However, his family town was Bruehl. Otto joined the German Army in Cologne, on 1 May 1865. He served as aide de camp (confidential secretary of a high-ranking commander) in the 4th Army Corps, Regiment Number 30. Later, from 1866 to 1868 it was the 8th Army Corps, Regiment No. 33.

 

Otto's brother Capt. Karl Felix Georg von Plehwe was probably one of the officers who assisted  J. O. Meusebach during his trip to the Comanche area to prepare the ground for the peace treaty.

Otto von Plehwe relocated to Texas in 1868 (1). Sometime later, Otto settled in Mason.  The man joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1881. He and his wife bought a general store from Mr. Anton Hoerster, which was situated at Upper Willow Creek. In 1886, Otto started a post office in the store and became the first post office master of Plehweville.

Mr. Otto von Plehwe was also a music teacher, and was elected Justice of the Peace, Precinct #6 twice, in 1882 and 1890.

 

Otto passed on 29 May 1916. It was on Monday at 8 a.m.

Plehweville was later renamed and was called Art.

Wilhelminna Deinnheim Donop von Plehwe died on 19 September 1920.

 

Otto von Donop Jr. turned  17 on 22 June 1875. In the very same year, on 5 October, his father died.

Five years later, on 4 September, Otto Jr. married Miss Suzanne, the daughter of Konrad Meckel and Gertrude Merbreurinn. Suzanne was born on 16 September 1859 in Fredericksburg, TX. The two built their family house made of rock within a year after the marriage. In 1908 the family got a windmill and they did not have to haul water from a well anymore.

 

Otto Jr. was a rancher. He grew cattle including milch cows, chickens. The family was self-sufficient regarding making food - meat, sausages, eggs, vegetables (they had a vegetable garden), fruit, and so on. The items which they needed to buy were flour, sugar, and coffee.

Otto von Donop Jr. had a telephone installed in the house in 1910. He bought a car in 1919.

 

Otto Jr. and Susanne were members of the Methodist Church. Otto taught at the Sunday school for many years. 

The couple had seven children

• Amanda Bertha (b. 21 Feb. 1882) - married Hermann Neu,
• Alfred - died when he was 7 months old,
• Cora (b. 5 Jan. 1886) - married Ernest Willmann,
• Lena Wilhelmina (b. 16 Nov. 1888) - married Louis Jordan,
• Edwin Otto (b. 3 July 1891) - married Hulda Jordan,
• Charles (b. 27 June 1894) - married Bertha Fischer,
• Susanna died at the age of 4 months.

When the children were little and after the retirement, Otto and family lived in Mason, besides that, they lived in the Art area.

Emma von Donop and Peter Jordan (b. 17 January 1852, Fredericksburg) were married on 6 September 1877. Peter was the son of Ernst Jordan and Lisette Bickenbach. When Peter was four years old, his father bought land in Mason County and the family settled at Upper Willow Creek. Peter Jordan helped his father and was a driver in Jordan Sr.'s freighting business. In 1873, he worked at the family ranch as a cowboy and foreman.

Peter built a log house for his wife and himself. The furniture for the house he hauled from Austin.
In 1900, Peter Jordan's family was recorded in the Census (2). The family  (Peter, Emma and their 11 children) lived in Justice Precinct #6, Mason, Texas.

Nine years later Peter built a house in Mason and they all moved to town.
Peter and Emma Jordan had fourteen children:

• Reuben died when he was nine,
• Minnie - married Emil W Kothmann,
• Emma (b. 17 April 1880) - married Alex Durst,
• William E - married Ida Sophie Lehmberg,
• Ella (b. 30 January 1883) - married Daniel Friedrich Julius Lehmberg,
• Benjamin P,
• Louise (b. 5 January 1887) - married George Charles Stengel,
• Eli Ernst (b. 1 January 1889) - married Elna Louise Grote,

• Pearl - married Daniel J Hoerster,
• Peter A (b. 14 July 1896) - married Foncine Robinson,
• Helen Jennie Esther (b. 9 June 1904) - married William Harold Zesch.

 

Emma Donop Jordan died on 29 June 1941 (3). Her husband passed about a year later, on 20 August 1942.

Bertha von Donop married Egon Hoermann on 19 October 1883 in Hilda Bethel Methodist Church, Mason (4).

They had two daughters Emilie Wilhelmine, b. 6 Dec 1889 (5) and Hedwig, b.16 Nov 1887 (6), and a son, Charles Moritz Kottke, b. 29 Aug 1891, Oakland, Alameda, CA (7).

In 1900 Bertha, Egon (a druggist), and the children mentioned above lived in Precinct # 3 Fruitvale town, Alameda, California, they had a boarder Christian Elnef, born in Germany. The record tells that Egon emigrated in 1885, Christian in 1878. The latter appears in the Census record as a bartender (8).

Egon and Bertha most parted their ways (?). Egon died in 1937 so the first marriage probably ended with a divorce. According to the information shared on Findagrave.com, Bertha married Christian (the former boarder) on 9 Nov 1901. 

Anyhow, ten years later In the Census of 1910, The Elnef family lived in Alameda Ward 1, Alameda, California. Chris was an electrician, Hattie a tailoress, and Charles was a plumber (9).

I tried to find out more about Christian - on 17 Sept. 1898 Christian Hansen Elnef was registered as a voter - carpenter. He had blue eyes, dark hair, was height 6 1/2, and he was naturalized on 7 December 1891 in Wyandotte (10).

Bertha passed on 21 July 1912.

I have not found any more information regarding Rosa Anna Emilie von Donop (besides her birth certificate record). Possibly the girl died young (?).

William von Donop was ten years old when his father and first school teacher, Otto Sr., died. After his death, the boy was a pupil of the Lower Willow Creek School. Later, Bill continued his education in Fredericksburg.

 

Afterward, William von Donop worked in his stepfather's freighting business as a wagon driver. They hauled the goods (such as dried hides, bees' wax, smoked and baked ham and bacon) to San Antonio and sold the products there.

Will's first cattle brand was T03 which was later replaced with W-.

 

On 11 April 1893, William von Donop married Auguste Bertha Kensing (11), the daughter of Friedrich Kensing and Mathilde Lemburg.

Auguste Bertha (Bertha) became a member of the Methodist Church in 1891.

At first, William and his wife lived in Otto Sr.'s house at Upper Willow Creek. The following children were born there

Minna Bessie, b. 9 December 1894 (married Dr. Baze on 7 November 1917),
Esther, b. 17 June 1898 (married Arch Reichenau in 1931),
Lilian, b. 12 May 1900 (married William Splittberger in 1928),
Susanne, b. 15 July 1902 (married Emeth Keller in 1923),
William Reuben (12), b. 2 Sept 1904 (m. Mary Kirkpatrick in 1931).

About 1899, William built a house on the Llano River, west of Mason. A baby girl, Mathilda Bertha was born in the new home on 19 January 1911. Sadly, the child died in infancy. Sometime after the girls' death, William sold their house and the family moved to Gooch Addition, Mason.
Olivia Vivian, another daughter was born there on 3 March 1913 (13) - she married Milton Zesch in 1935.

Three years later in 1916, Will purchased the OK Wagon Yard. He ran the business with his son William Jr. Besides stabling and taking care of the horses, they also sold food to traveling people passing Mason. They kept the Yard until 1918.
The William von Donops attended the Methodist Episcopal Church in Mason.
William passed on 2 May 1945 in Mason, TX (14).

Caroline Louise von Donop married Richard Ernest Grosse on 22 July 1886 in Hilda Methodist Church, Mason.
They had children

• Willie Mae (15), b. 25 May 1904 (married Harris Mohler),
• Richard Alfred (16), b. 2 Feb 1889 (married Mea Lyn Cox),
• Mina Laura (17), b. 6 Jul 1887,
• Alfred R (18), b. 2 February 1889,

In 1910 They all lived in Justice Precinct #1, Mason, Texas. Richard worked as a carpenter (21).

Caroline died four years after that Census, on 21 October 1914.

Alexander Julius Friedrich von Donop died in 1890 of ptomaine poisoning.

August Ernest von Donop was only 3 years old on the day when his father Otto Sr. left this world. When the boy was growing up, he helped his mother in the family shop in Plehweville. August attended a country school, later a college in Fredericksburg.

He was also a driver of a horse wagon - he took the produce from the Plehweville store to San Antonio.
August married Marya Elizabeth Lifeste (Leihfeste) in Hilda Bethel Methodist Church on 12 October 1889 (22). Maria's parents were Johann Heinrich Leihfeste and Margarethe Rheinhard.
Maria and August's house was built between Llano Road and Willow Creek.

In 1900, August, Maria and their daughters, Hedwig, Pearl, and Mina lived in Precinct #6, Mason, TX. Maria's father Henry (Heinrich, age 81) lived with them as well (23).

Hedwig Emilie was born on 23 October 1890 (24).

Pearly Mathilda was born on 11 October 1892 (25).

Mina Viola  - 27 March 1895 (26).

Perry Theodore - 11 May 1906 (27).

There is another record for the same day in May 1906. The boy's name is Perry Theophil not Theodore, though. Does it mean, twins were born to August and Maria? I am not sure (28).

Benjamin Elias - 13 January 1902 (29).

Tarney Gordon - 16 November 1910 (30).

The 1910 Census data states that August, Mary and children, Hedwig, Pearl, Mina, Ben and Perry lived in Precinct #6, Mason, TX (31).

A year later, a son, Gordon Thomas was born on 16 Nov 1911 (32).

August drove his cattle to Fort Worth (via Burnet and Brady) market.
After Hattie's (Hedwig's) death, the family moved to Llano. Mr. August E von Donop lived an active life till the ripe and old age. He was a religious man, a Methodist lay minister. August helped to build quite a few churches (in Art, Hilda, Hoersterville, Mason, and Llano), he hauled lumber for their construction and support the churches financially.

August Ernest (von) Donop passed on 20 Sep 1956. He was buried in the Llano cemetery. His wife Mary lived till 17 Jul 1945.
