  Family History Document	Notes from Steve Bachhuber LEST WE FORGETOur branch of the Bachhuber family came to Wisconsin from Bavaria during the early South German emigration to America-July 31, 1846 being the date of their entry in New York aboard the Susan Drew sailing out of Le Havre, France.The first and second generation, European born, have long since passed away. The third generation, all American born, knew but little of the struggle and trial of these true pioneers-while in the succeeding generations they are but names from the dim past. Let us at least preserve their names for our offspring. It is 2007. I am of the 5th generation. I have two children (6th generation) and siblings who are grandparents of kids of the 7th generation. We are from the youngest "line". I think it is safe to say that the 8th generation of the Martin/Theresia branch of the Bachhuber family is roaming the land. I provide this brief snapshot of the first three generations of our family as a way of remembering them and also to, perhaps, foster some additional research by other members of the clan. Thanks go out to my cousin Jim Bachhuber from whom much of this information was obtained, Beth Steinberg Arnott, descendant of Johann, who provided critical information including a copy of Hugo Bachhuber's memoirs and Mike Benter whose research for his book Roll Out the Barrels: Brewers of Eastern Dodge County, Wisconsin, 1850-1961 is used here. Steve Bachhuber Springfield, VA February, 2007 Sometime in the 1960's my Dad (Robert, 4th generation, son of Emeron and Helen) gave me a mimeographed "family tree" displaying the first three generations of our branch of the family that someone had put together for a Bachhuber reunion in the 1930's. I've made a few minor wording changes to the document, added birth years and, if found in the various source materials utilized, German version of Christian names. Bach-- German: topographic name for someone who lived by a stream, Middle High German bach 'stream'.Huber-- German (also Hüber, Hueber): status name based on Middle High German huobe, a measure of land, varying in size at different periods and in different places, but always of considerable extent, appreciably larger than the holding of the average peasant. The surname usually denotes a holder or owner of this amount of land, who would have been a prosperous small farmer and probably one of the leading men of his village. Martin was born in Deglkofen (sp?), a small town that cannot be found on any present day map but according to family documents was located near Regensburg (also known as Ratisbon) in Nieder Bayern (Lower Bavaria). His passport listed him as a "kleingueter" or owner of a small farm. Theresia was born in Kelheim, on the Danube River (Donau), also near Regensburg. Their children were all born in Kelheim. <http://www.airport-shuttle-munich.com/kelheimus.htm> There was a fifth child, Eligius, who died at the age of six, before the family's emigration to America. Maximilian was listed as a merchant on the 1860 census. This line produced many doctors and politicians, one of whom is currently serving as Governor of Wisconsin. The following is from Gov. Jim Doyle's website remembering his mother Ruth Bachhuber Doyle: "In 1948…she became one of the first women elected in the Wisconsin Legislature. She was the fourth generation of her family to serve…following in the footsteps of her father (Frank E. Bachhuber, 1933), grandfather (Andrew Bachhuber, 1885) and great-grandfather (Max Bachhuber, 1860, 1864 and 1875). The Bachhubers remain the only four generation family in Wisconsin history to win election to the state legislature." According to the memoirs of Maximilian's son Hugo, the Civil War "laid a heavy hand on the family. When the draft came father and Uncle Lorenz Weix were assigned to the colors. Father was not so situated that he could go as his brother Johann had just died, so he availed himself of the privilege of furnishing a substitute and Uncle Joseph Engel went in his place. For this service father assigned to Uncle Joe a house and several acres of land." The mysterious Johann. The family tree lists him as married to Frances Muenzner, however search of the databases and input from one of his descendants clearly indicates that Johann was in fact married to Franziska/Frances Lehneis. Why the Muenzner entry? His occupation was listed in the 1860 census as "Tavern Keeper". Johann was also called to serve in the Civil War but died of Typhoid Fever at the age of 30 before he could do so. Barbara and Lorenz had another child, Emmeran, not listed on the tree. Emmeran was John's twin who died shortly after his birth in 1878. Lorenz was listed as a farmer on the 1860 census. He served in the Civil War as a Private in the 45th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment Emmeran/Emeron--my great-Grandfather. What a name. Rare and, I trust, confusing to a lot of folks. Susan Drew's manifest actually had him listed (at least in transcription) as Emerencia. My German wife advised that Emeron is not a German name and it was only after much Googleing did I find that the version I could accept as a "good German" name was Emmeran, particularly apt for a boy born near Regensburg. See why at <http://www.answers.com/topic/emmeram-of-regensburg> Emmeran was a master harness maker but in 1869 he also owned a brewery. It was the same brewery that his father, Martin, owned from 1855-1868.
