Can anyone tell me anything further about this name (or names)? Centre Co. Mar. records show -- Barbara Deschemier - m. 21 Nov 1839 Adam Waltenberger (misspelled in mar. index as Walterberger) This was Adam Waltenberger's 2nd mar. His 1st mar. was to Anna Maria "Polly" Rishel (1789-1838). Per Amber Rishel Keene's book on the RISHEL Family (p 13), Anna Maria was the dau. of Martin Luther and Catherine (Derscherman) Rishel. I'm wondering if these surnames (Deschemier / Derscherman) are corruptions of something else. I cannot find any other Centre County Families that they would seem to fit into. Do any of you have any clues or factual knowledge for me on these people? There are other Dershem marriages in Centre Co., but none preceding the mid 20th century. There are also Derschems buried in the St. John's (Union) Cem, at Farmers Mills, Gregg Township, Centre Co., near the Waltenbergers. It seems likely these are kin, but I'd like proof (or "strong clues"). Can anyone help? Fred Houts, Minn.
