He is the son of J. Blasius SCHMELZER and Maria Walburga CHRIST (no known relation to Chas. CHRIST who married her granddaughter. Is Margarethe KELLER the dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth KELLER, buried in the St. Phillips Cemetery, Berne, Fairfield County, Ohio? Descendants of Anselm Schmelzer Generation No. 1 1. ANSELM-7 SCHMELZER (JACOBUS BLASIUS-6, JOSEF-5 SCHMOLZER, ANTON-4, WILLIBALD-3, JAKOB-2, SIXTUS-1) was born March 29, 1831 in Ornbau, Bavaria, Germany, and died June 24, 1872 in Bremen, Fairfield County, Ohio. He married MARGARETHE KELLER October 30, 1854 in Sacred Heart Church, Geneva, Fairfield, Ohio. She was born August 31, 1831, and died November 17, 1873, presumably at Bremen, Berne Township, Franklin County, Ohio. Notes for ANSELM SCHMELZER: During the American Civil War, Anselm (Absalom) enlisted in Company C, 62nd Infantry Regiment, Ohio, on September 23, 1864 as a private at age 35. This unit was initially organized on Sept. 1, 1861 and mustered on Sept. 1, 1865. During the period that Anselm was enlisted the regiment fought the following battles: Battle Near Petersburg, Virginia on 23 September 1864; Battle Near Richmond, Virginia on 9 October 1864; Battle at Darbytown Road, Virginia on 13 October 1864; Battle at Hampton, Virginia on 13 October 1864; Battle at Richmond, Virginia on 14 October 1864; Battle at Chapin's Farm, Virginia, on 01 April 1865; Battle at Fort Gregg, Virginia on 06 April 1865; Battle at Rice Station, Virginia on 06 April 1865; Battle at Petersburg, Virginia on 02 April 1865; Battle at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia on 09 April 1865. Jean Schmelzer gives Anselm's date of death as June 24, 1872. Other records have shown 1899. Three children born to Anselm Schmelzer and Margarethe are not listed by Jean Schmelzer: Joseph, b. 1864, Benjamin R born 1866 and Sophia born 1868. More About ANSELM SCHMELZER: Burial: St. Phillips Cemetery, Berne Township, Fairfield, Ohio Notes for MARGARETHE KELLER: Anselm (Anslum) Keller and Margarethe are buried in the St. Phillips Cemetery in Berne Township, Fairfield County, Ohio. In the same cemetery is buried Joseph Keller b. 1808, d. May 31, 1861 and Elizabeth Keller d. April 11, 1864. These could be her parents but more research is needed. Birth date for Margarethe is based on date given on tombstone. More About MARGARETHE KELLER: Burial: St. Phillips Cemetery, Berne Township, Fairfield, Ohio Children of ANSELM SCHMELZER and MARGARETHE KELLER are: i. MARY LORETTA8 SCHMELZER, b. October 05, 1855. ii. PHILUMENA FRANCES SCHMELZER, b. October 15, 1856, Logan, Hocking, Ohio; d. October 01, 1904, Washington, Daviess, Indiana; m. CHARLES CHRIST, Bet. 1874 - 1876; b. Abt. 1850, Alsace, France; d. Aft. 1900. Notes for PHILUMENA FRANCES SCHMELZER: Jean Schmelzer has Minnie's birth date as Oct. 22. The birth certificate may be in error or perhaps Oct. 22 was the Christening date. In the 1900 federal census, Minnie said that she was 40 years old on her last birthday which would make her born in 1859 rather than the 1857 year shown on her death certificate. Her death certificate clearly states her birth date as Oct. 15, 1857 and that she was 47 years, 11 months and 15 days old. But if she died 14 days before her birthday, she would have turned 48 on Oct. 15, 1904 had she lived and that would calculate as a birth year of 1856 ... so she would have turned 44 (not 41) on her birthday in 1900. Maybe she just wanted to shave a few years off her age when talking to the census taker. Notes for CHARLES CHRIST: According to family tradition Charles was born in Alsace/Elsass and came to the United States to avoid conscription. His birth date and birth place are not known. In the 1880 census for Corning, Perry, Ohio, he claimed that he was 30 which would indicate that he was born in 1849 or 1850. In that census he also claimed that he was born in Germany. Following the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, Alsace remained under the control of Germany until the conclusion of WWI in 1918. Alsatians who immigrated to the U.S. would sometimes answer "France" and other times "Germany" when questioned about their place of birth by the census takers. Charles Christ may have answered the question in 1880 on the basis of who was currently in power in 1880 and had been for nine years. iii. LAYMAN HENRY SCHMELZER, b. 1858. iv.

Lillian, Are those Lutheran church records? If so, are there any Strunks or Matlack or Beerys in them? I don't know much about these families, but this is what I do know. Margaret Hollenback b abt 1771 m John Jones d bef 1830. There were in Fairfield by 1820. I believe all their children would have been b VA prior to their migration. I know that she had at least 1 daughter, as she's listed in Margaret's obit when she d in 1870. The obit lists her burial as being in the Lutheran cemetery. Her name is Ann b abt 1806 VA. I think Ann m1)Samuel Matlack in 1823. I have no children for them. She m 2)Samuel Beery in 1840 Fairfield. I have 3 children, Charles b abt 1844; Sarah b abt 1846 and Lawrence b abt 1850. There are 2 other "suspects" in the area as children of Margaret & John Jones. 1]Sarah b abt 1800 VA m Samuel Strunk b abt 1803 PA. They married Dec 1824 Fairfield. They remained in the Fairfield area through the 1860 census, and may have died there. The census indicates no children born to them, unless they died young and between the census years. 2]Thomas Jones about whom I know nothing except he was in the same area at the same time. If the church records have any christenings or marriages or deaths for any of these people, I'd sure appreciate the data.

My ancestor John Gilmore, born at Rockingham County, VA, lived in the near vicinity of Baltimore.? His daughters Catherine and later Delilah both married my ancestor James Kirkendall who lived at Kirkersville over the line in Licking County. John's wife Ann (Brumfield) Gilmore migrated west with her daughter Missouri (Gilmore) Edwards, to Carroll County, Illinois.? His daughter and my ancestor Delilah (Gilmore) Kirkendall raised her family at Kirkersville but then migrated west to Nebraska (1880) and died at Denver in 1892. I visited the large cemetery at Baltimore a few years ago but found no sign of John Gilmore buried there.? Does anyone have any idea of exactly where he lived -- perhaps there was a church cemetery nearby. Thanks! Don Boyd Centerville, Ohio
