Riedesel Johann Jost [Male] b. 28 MAR 1687 Schameder - d. 15 FEB 1746 Schameder

He was not a tenant in one of the houses in Schameder. Rather he was a "Beisitzer" in Schusters, whose tenant was a Wolf. Riedesel is listed as owning some livestock, however, and was a minor official of the Count. It is my educated guess that he was therefore of higher social status and exempt from some of the many exactions borne by most other people. We know of only the two sons, who both died young.

Born in Haase Haus in Wunderthausen. Came to America with the Riedesel family, arriving in New York on June 7, 1845 (the ship appears to have been the New York). After about a dozen years near Galion, Ohio, the Homrighausen family moved on to the Wheatland area. She was the mother of 11 children but I have names of only seven.

There were plenty of reasons for younger sons to leave Wittgenstein, but why he wound up in the village of Winnen near Marburg is anyone's guess. I don't know of any family ties or economic connections.

She came to the United States in about 1881, settling first in St. Paul. In 1883 she moved to Crookston where she met and married Karl Riedesel. In Crookston she was a charter member of the Auxiliary to the Sons of Hermann, and that lodge was named in her honor.

His birthplace of St. Goarshausen is on the right east) bank of the Rhine and the site of the famous Loreley promontory. Recorded as being a Lutheran. This part of the Rhineland was strongly Catholic, so it is conceivable that his family origins were elsewhere. Teacher at Gersweiler for 37 years. Not listed in a statistical report on Gersweiler to the Graf in 1741, but his status as a teacher may have meant that he was not counted as part of the community.
