There are several areas in the surrounding counties that are called Hopewell and Toll Gate, could he have served those areas? I know that sometime an area is mentioned in records by a feature of the area. One such area is Detrick in Milan Township Allen county. While I have never been able to locate a community called Detrick I know there is a Detrick school just south of Harlan, Indiana. I have always assumed that newspaper clipping for events occurring in Detrick were occurring at that Detrick school. Are there old churches or schools called Tollgate or Hopewell in Adams county?

Tim, Thanks so much. I did find some Steel names. My question is where was Tole Gate and ware was Hopewell.

Tim; This is just a opinion of course and can be taken at face value. With him being a circuit rider, some of the meeting places would have been at the homes of his parishers. One entry looked like a map. Would the intitials "CL" stood for a "Class Leader"?

I've just added some new information, the notes of a Methodist Circuit Rider, on the web site. Just click on the Adams Co. button at the top and scroll down to Ebenezer Stockbridge. It was some sort of diary with mentions of a number of Adams Co. surnames, including Mallonee, Mann, Roop and others. There are some entries that Sharon Simnacher and I do not understand (she submitted the notes), so if anyone can help deciper the meaning of some of the pages, please let me know.

We also have a son for him named Heinrich Wilhelm Wietfeldt, 18.4.1818 - 20.5.1897), who has among his descendants my wife and kids. The wife of Franz Christian Friedrich Wietfeldt, Christiane Sophie Magdalene, gb. Ripken, the mother of Johann and Wilhelm, is the one my daughter tracked back towards the Pippinians. So we just need to track down where your Konrad Wietfeldt comes from. Perhaps his untimely death with 12 just puts down the date when the boy vanished, to show up again years later in the States. Or there is another son, named after the first. Or whatever. The other data are simply too close for this to be a random connection. Perhaps we can track that one down. BTW: I will ask my daughter to crate a summary of the Carolinigan link - currently its all on a collection of papers and posters, several square meters, with up to 400 names on a single paper and well over 1000 in total, and lots of single printouts from databases and genalogy logs). best regards Axel Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I also have Wietfeldt records that go back to 1563. I have fairly good family tree history for my ancestors from Borgdurf that go back to 1703. When I try to match what you say above I get close but notthing that is an exact match. My records show a Johann Carl Wietfeldt (b. 5/4/1785, d. 3/18/1865). However, while he had three different wives and 16 children I have no record of a son named Conrad. However, Johann Carl Wietfeldt had a brother named Johann Wilhelm Christian Wietfeldt (b. 12/5/1783, d. 5/11/1869) - note the same birth year and death as you had for Johann Karl. Christian Wietfeldt did have a son named Conrad (Wilhem Conrad Friedrich Wietfeldt) who was born in 1815, but my records show that this individual died at the age of 12 in 1825. Finally, Carl and Christian's father (Franz Christian Wietfeldt) also had a brotther who lived more than 60 years and I have no records on his marriages or descendants. Thus, all of your data could come from the uncle who would have had children about the same times as those listed above. The Wietfeldt farm is technicallly in Bennebostel, which is just outside Borgdurf, which is just outside Hannover.

Some still live there. Its a pity you cannot trace it back to the person who actually lived there. My records only cover the Wietfelds in Germany (and then not even all). They can be traced back, however, to some of the principals of Hannover, from there on to several lower nobles (Knights) and from there to the Carolingians. So if you manage to connect to the humble Wietfelds of Burgdorf, you may gain Charlemagne and Charles Martell as free additions into your family tree :-) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
