Biography - Johannes (John) Uehling
John Uehling, 86, was born April 23, 1797 at Gumpelstadt,
Thüringen, Germany. However, the church records in Gumpelstadt
show his year of birth as 1798. His parents were Johann Martin
Uehling and Anna Dorothea Kallenbach. He married Dorothea
Elisabetha Trautvetter on April 27, 1819 in Germany. They had 3
children; Anna Margaretha, Margaretha Elisabetha and Andreas.
His wife, Dorothea, died November 14, 1828 in Germany and on April
12, 1836 John married Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter at Witzelroda,
Thringen, Germany. John and Cordula had the following children
born to them in Germany; Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), Oswald,
Barbara Margeretha, Evalynn Christina, Barbara Rosina, John Martin,
Johann Martin and Elizabeth.
The family except daughters, Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), who was
deceased and Margaretha Elizabeth, who was married to Johann Caspar
Kaiser, emigrated to the USA in 1852. They travelled on the ship
"Jason" from Bremen, Germany to New York City, New York. They
arrived at New York City on August 10, 1852, and then went to Dodge
county, Wisconsin. The following children were born to them in
Wisconsin; Frederick, Ernestine Henrietta and Anna Catharine. They
remained there until 1864, when they moved west to Dodge county,
Nebraska. They arrived at Logan Mills, Dodge county, Nebraska on
June 26, 1864. Also on this migration were the families of Mathias
Heller, Ed Fleishhauer, Martin Luther Sr., Heinrich Panning, Fred
Wolf Sr., Oswald Uehling and Conrad Schram. Of this group, all
except the Fleishhauers are buried at Logan cemetery. They
homesteaded on the bluffs of the north bank of the Elkhorn River
north of the present town of Hooper, Nebraska. His wife, Cordula,
died July 2, 1880, and John died May 1, 1883 at Hooper at the home
of his son, Oswald. John and Cordula are buried at Logan cemetery.
He was survived by Anna Margaretha Kallenbach Moeller, Andreas,
Oswald, Barbara Margeretha Raasch, Evalyn Christina Ehrhard,
Barbara Rosina Wagner, John Martin, Johann Martin, Elizabeth
Wagner, Frederick, Ernestine Henrietta Ollerman and Anna Catharine
Meyer. He was preceded in death by daughters; Margaretha Elizabeth
Kaiser and Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), who both died in Germany,
and by both wives.

The Johannes (John) Uehling Family History
Johannes(1) (John) Uehling and Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter
(Elise)(2) were born in Germany and came to the United States in
1852 in a family group of 13(3) on the sail ship "Jason" from
Bremen, Germany to New York, arriving on August 10, 1852. It took
them about seven weeks to get here. Johannes was born in
Gumpelstadt, Thüringen, Germany on April 23, 1797 and died May 1,
1883 at Hooper, Nebraska. Elise was born in Saxony, Germany on
September 20, 1814 and died July 2, 1880 in Nebraska. She was 65
years, 9 months and 12 days of age. Both are buried in Logan
Cemetery.
In the 1892 "History of the Elkhorn Valley" page 671 in the George
Wagner Jr. history it reads " He was united in marriage in August,
1864, to Rosa Uehling, daughter of John and Eliza Uehling, natives
of Germany, whose fourteen children were: Margaret, Andrew, Eliza,
Odelia (deceased), Oswald, Barbara, Christena, Rosa, John, Martin,
Elizabeth, Frederick, Henrietta (deceased), Catharine.". Dorothea
Elisabetha (Odelia 1834-1836) was born about 2 years before her
parents were married and died shortly after they were married.
According to some family members she died by drowning. Odelia was
not on the 1852 passenger list.
Johannes had two wives, the name of the first wife was Dorothea
Elisabetha Trautvetter (1796-1828) and they were married April 27,
1819. The second wife was Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter (1814-1880)
and they were married April 12, 1836. Johannes had three children
by his first wife, and 11 children by his second wife.
After emigrating to the USA in 1852 Johannes and Elise lived in
Shields Township, Dodge County, Wisconsin until 1864 when they and
some of their children joined a wagon train coming to Nebraska.
They came in a covered wagon pulled by oxen. There were about five
wagons. Barbara Uehling Raasch and her husband, John Raasch, came
to Nebraska in 1865. The Raasch family was accompanied on the
Wisconsin to Nebraska migration by the Albert William Hartung
family and they crossed the Missouri River from Iowa to Nebraska at
Council Bluffs. Andreas and his family did not come to Nebraska
until 1874.
Johannes and Elise Uehling homesteaded on the bluffs on the north
bank of the Elkhorn River, north and west of what is now the town
of Hooper, Nebraska. At first they lived in a log cabin, but later
Johannes built a small house for the family. The Indians had a
favorite camp site on the bluffs on the Elkhorn River not far from
the Uehling home. When the Indians came to the house, Mrs. Uehling
always gave them food, sometimes bread spread with sorghum. As a
pioneer resident of these parts, Mr. Uehling underwent all of the
hardship incident to the early settlement of a new country. He bore
all of these unflinchingly and by thrift and industry laid aside
enough of these worldly goods to make his declining years one of
comfort, which he justly deserved.
The Uehling children and their spouses were: 1. Anna Margaretha
1820-1907 married L. R. Kallenbach & George Moeller. 2. Margareth
Elisabetha 1823-1851 married Johann Caspar Kaiser. 3. Andreas 1825-
1906 married Elizabeth Fuss & Heneritta Ludwig. 4. Dorothea
Elisabeth (Odelia) 1834-1836. 5. Oswald 1835-1914 married Elizabeth
Keller. 6. Barbara Margeretha 1839-1923 married John C. F. Raasch.
7. Evalynn Christina 1841-1919 married Henry John Ehrhard. 8. Barbara
Rosina 1843-1913 married George Wagner. 9. John Martin 1845-1917
married Ottilia Elsia Trautvetter & Clara Langemeier Rahe. 10.
Johann Martin 1847-1919 married Catherine Kroeger. 11. Elizabeth
1850-1924 married Carl Ludwig August Wagner. 12. Frederick 1853-
1914 married Maria Kroeger. 13. Ernestine Henrietta 1856-1886
married Franz A. F. Ollerman. 14. Anna Catharine 1858-1943 married
John Frederick Meyer.
(1) The name on his current grave stone is "Johanne Uehling", and
his birth date is shown as 4-23-1797 and the date of death is shown
as 5-1-1883. In the 1975 Logan Cemetery survey made by Mares and
Petersen, his birth date is shown as 23 Apr 1792 and his death date
is shown as 1 May 1883. His obituary in the Fremont Weekly Herald
of May 17, 1883 shows the date of death as May 10, 1883 and his age
as 86 years. The church records in Gumpelstadt, Germany list his
year of birth as 1798. On my files I am listing his name as
"Johannes (John) Uehling", and his birth date as April 23, 1797 and
his death date as May 10, 1883. The word "HEIRRUHET" (correct
spelling is hierruhet) at the top of his grave stone is German for
"Here rests" . Thanks to Steven Pueppke for this translation.
(2) The name on her grave stone is "Elise Wife of Johanne Uehling".
Her birth date is shown as 8-14-1814 and her death date is shown as
5-26-1880. In the 1975 Logan Cemetery survey her date of death is
shown as 2 July 1880 and her age is given as 65 yr 9 mo 12 days.
Using DATECALC this computes a birth date of 20 Sept 1814. In my
files I am listing her name as "Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter" with
her birth date as September 20, 1814 and her death date as July 2,
1880.

Uehling Family Newsletter
Issue No. 5
April, 2000
In 1843, just as the debate over slavery was heating up in the United States, a family named Schmidt ran a mill on the moorlands stretching west of the forest south of Eisenach in what is now the German state of Thüringen. Georg Adam Schmidt was 55 years of age, and as the provider of flour, he must have been an important citizen of the community. George Adam had inherited the mill, not from his father, but from his father-in-law Martin Uehling.Martin was known as the Moormüller, and he had died in 1804 in the village of Möhra. We do not know how long the mill had been in his family, or if he had been acquainted with the Luther family of Möhra, including its famous son, who was also named Martin. We are sure, though, that Martin Uehling had at least eight children, seven of whom were daughters. Ottilie Uehling was Georg Adam Schmidt's wife, and it was through her that the mill came into the possession of the Schmidts.
Martin Uehling's sole son was Johann, and as a young man, he worked as a laborer in his brother- in-law's mill. Johann had been born on April 23, 1797. Four days after his twenty-first birthday, on April 27, 1819, he married Dorothea Elisabeth Trautvetter. A year older than her husband, Dorothea Elisabeth had been born on April 12, 1796. There were three children born to this marriage: Anna Margaretha, 1820; Margaretha Elisabeth, 1823, and Andreas, 1825. Dorothea Elisabeth, died on November 14, 1828. Johann married Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter in the church of the neighboring village of Witzelroda on April 12, 1836. Sixteen years his junior, Cordula had been born at Gumpelstadt in the year 1814.
The following children were born in Germany to Johann and Cordula Uehling: Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), 1834; Oswald, 1835; Barbara Margaretha, 1839; Eva Christina (Evalynn), 1841; Barbara Rosina, 1843; Johann (John), 1845; Johann Martin (Martin), 1847 and Elisabetha, 1850.
Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia) died in Germany at the age of 2 (July 29, 1836)-by drowning, according to family lore. Margaretha Elizabeth married Johann Caspar Kaiser and remained in Germany. The others in the family (the names are from the ship passenger list) emigrated to the USA: Andreas, Osla, Johannes, Cordula, Oswald, Barbara, Eva-Christine, Johannes, Martin, Elisabeth, Anna- Margaretha, Oswald, and Barbara-Rosina. Osla is probably Andreas's future bride. Oswald (whose age is listed as 3), was Anna- Margaretha's son Wilhelm Oswald Uehling, who had been born illegitimately on April 6, 1849.
The Uehling family group sailed from Bremen, Germany, on the ship "Jason" and arrived in New York on August 10, 1852. After arriving in the USA the family made its way to Shields township, Dodge county, Wisconsin. Their small farm was within 3 miles of Frederick Uehling's farm, and it was undoubtedly because of him and other relatives that the John Uehling family settled in east central Wisconsin. The following children were born to John and Cordula in Wisconsin: Frederick, 1853; Ernestine Henrietta, 1856 and Anna Catharine, 1858. Four of the children married in Wisconsin: Anna Margaretha married Conrad Kallenbach, Andreas married Elizabeth Fuss in 1853, Barbara Margeretha married John Raasch in 1857, and Oswald married Elizabeth Keller in 1859.
In 1864, after almost 12 years in Wisconsin, 65-year-old John, his wife Cordula, and their unmarried children migrated to Dodge County, Nebraska. Also in the party were the families of Oswald Uehling, Mathias Heller, Ed Fleishhauer, Martin Luther Sr., Heinrich Panning, Fred Wolf Sr., and Conrad Schram. This caravan of wagons pulled by oxen arrived at Logan Mills, Nebraska on June 26, 1864. The heads of these families and their wives are all buried at Logan Cemetery, Hooper, Nebraska except Susan and Ed Fleishhauer, who are buried at the Hooper Cemetery.
John and Cordula homesteaded on the bluffs overlooking the Elkhorn River north of the present town of Hooper, Nebraska. Oswald farmed near Logan Creek, and they were the parents of 12 children. Oswald acquired an interest in the Logan Mills and later moved the mill into Hooper. This mill was known as the Hooper Roller Mills, and Oswald later traded it for a ranch in Cherry County, Nebraska.
Barbara and John Raasch moved from Wisconsin to Dodge County, Nebraska in 1865, and Andreas and his wife, Elizabeth, arrived in 1874. Both of these families also settled and farmed near Hooper. Anna Margaretha and Conrad Kallenbach also came to Dodge County, Nebraska, but the date of their migration is not known. Conrad died in Nebraska and Anna Margaretha later married George Moeller, who also preceded Anna Margaretha in death.
Evalynn Christina married Henry John Ehrhard and they moved to Olmsted County, Minnesota. They had three children, but little is known of their descendents. Barbara Rosina married George Wagner, Jr., whose father had donated the land for Logan Cemetery. They farmed near Logan Creek and had nine children. John married Ottilia Elisa Trautvetter and they had seven children. After Ottilia died, John married Clara Rahe and in 1912 they moved to California. They both died there and are buried at Santa Anna Cemetery at Tustin.
Martin married Catherine Kroeger and they had ten children. Elizabeth married August Wagner (brother of George Jr.) and they had 15 children. They also farmed near Logan Creek, but after losing the farm they moved into Hooper. Frederick married Maria Kroeger (sister of Catherine) and they had eight children. Frederick was a businessman in several towns of northeast Nebraska. Ernestine Henrietta married Franz A. F. Ollerman on December 12, 1876 at St. John's Lutheran church, Hooper, and they had four children. One son, 13, drowned in the Elkhorn river near Scribner. Their infant daughter died of typhus on August 10, 1886, and Henrietta succumbed to typhus the following day.
Anna Catharine Uehling married John F. Meyer and they had no children, but they adopted a daughter, Laura. They farmed near Logan Creek, and after retiring from farming they moved into Hooper. Although little has been written of John and Cordula Uehling, more than 1,970 of their descendants are in the Uehling family database. That's approximately the population of present day Gumpelstadt!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name on Tombstone = Elise Uehling Dates on Original Tombstone = d 2 July 1880 65 yr 9 mo 12 days Dates on Current Tombstone = 14 Aug 1814 26 May 1880 Married Name = Mrs. Johannes (John) Uehling Maiden Name = Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter Biography Cordula Elizabeth Trautvetter, 65, was born on September 20, 1814 in Saxony, Germany. She was born in or near the village of Gumpelstadt, and her birth is recorded in the church records there. However, her date of birth is shown as November 20, 1814. In the 1975 Logan cemetery survey by Mares and Petersen her date of death is shown as July 2, 1880 and that she was 65 year 9 months and 12 days old. Using this death date and age, her birth date computes to be September 20, 1814. I assume that this is the date she used. On April 12, 1836 at Witzelroda, Thüringen, Germany she became John Uehling's second wife. The following children were born to them in Germany before they emigrated to the USA; Dorothea Elisabetha (Odelia), Oswald, Barabara Margeretha, Evalynn Christina, Barbara Rosina, John Martin, Johann Martin and Elizabeth. Odelia died in Germany, and some family historians believe that she drowned at the age of 2 years.
