Research Note |
|---|
Daniel Pfeiffer and Johann Philipus Daniel Pfeiffer were born in different regions of Germany; both married an Anna Maria. The confusion pertains to the names of the two villages where they were born, Langenbuch and Langenbach.
In the early 18th century, Langenbuch was located in Orange Varrum, Königreich Sachsen, which is now Schleiz, Saale-Orla-Kreis, Thuringia, Germany. Daniel Pfeiffer was born in Langenbuch, Orange Varrum, and immigrated to America in 1754 or 1756.
Langenbach bei Bad Marienberg is in current day Westerwaldkreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Johann Philipus Daniel Pfeiffer was born in Langenbach and immigrated to America in 1751.12,2,4,6,5,13,14 |

Detail: According to Johannes Hench Family in America, page 332, Friedrich Thommen I arrived in America following the arrival of his son, Friedrich II, in 1805. In Switzerland, on January 5, 1831, Friedrich I's wife, Anna Schaub Thommen, passed away. It is assumed that he emigrated to America following her demise.2,9 |
| Death of Spouse | His wife Anna Schaüb died on 5 JAN 1831 in Wittinsburg, Sissach, Basel-Landschaft, SwitzerlandG. |
| Death-Alt | It has been reported on 23 APR 1833, Fredrich (~69) died. Perry Co., PA, USAGI. Detail: No official US documentation has been located verifying Frederick I's death. However, his son, arrived in Philadelphia in 1805. Friedrich Thomman II's original Swiss birth and baptismal record, contains a post-entry note, translated: "To America. 1803. ♰ 23-APR-1833 in said place."
The 1803 departure to America could be Friedrich Thomman II departure date, arriving in 1805. The ♰ indicates death. Friedrich II passed away in 1855, which is 22 years after 1833.
The death in 1833 is thought to be linked to Friedrich I, baptized on January 1, 1763, rather than Friedrich II.
In the early 1800s, the sole method of Transatlantic communication was maritime travel, which required several months for information to be transmitted between Switzerland and Pennsylvania. Thus the possible confusion of the 1833 death.10,9 |
