Reconstructed Miller (Müller/Möller/Moeller/Mueller Reconstructed Miller (Müller/Möller/Moeller/Mueller) Families of Freudenberg, Germany From Church Records (Evangelisch, Freudenberg, Westfalen, Prussia) Compiled By Clovis E. Miller This page has been created in the interest of furthering knowledge of our pre-American Miller Family. By this, we can not only establish a foundation for going back further in time; but also create a starting point for researching and linking other members of the German sector of our family, some of which may also have immigrated to America after John Frederick Miller. This page is tentative, being composed primarily of information gleaned from Freudenberg, Germany Church Records; but it is at least a start. In light of this fact, beware of the possibility of children being placed improperly. In most cases the relationship of the father and mother is quite obvious. However, with so many individuals bearing the same first names, and often approximately the birth date time frame, it is quite possible to include an indivudual in the wrong family. There are also no less than four spelling variations used for the Miller lines of Freudenberg. There were a number of Miller (i.e. Müller/Möller/Moeller/Mueller) families in Freudenberg and surrounding towns during the 1600-1800's; including those of the siblings of John Frederick Miller. His sister Elizabeth, for example, married Hymenaeus Creutz (Haman Critz), They immigrated to America with John Frederick and family in 1738 settling in Patrick County, Virgina area. Herman (Harman), one of John's brother, also immigrated at the same time, and eventually settled in Halifax County, Va., near his brother. It's likely that at least some of John Frederick and Harman's other family (i.e. siblings, cousins, nephews and nieces etc.), eventually found their way to America in years following their arrival; but have yet to be identified. As stated in 'Book 97' on this website: On July 1, 1992, the late Jane Anne Miller of Bruceton, Tennessee and her late brother, Max visited with Dr. Bernd Steinseiffer, pastor of the Protestant Church of Freudenberg. According to Jane's account of the meeting, "...Herr S. says it is a certainty that not one but TWO Steinseiffers and one Mueller were burned as witches! The Mueller was the father of the first Mueller on my chart (#16); he told me when he was killed but I do not remember. He said that the burning of 'witches' was not uncommon in that vicinity, and that the last time was in the 1800's...." The reference mentioned here (#16) was to Henrich Mueller's father as the Mueller who was burned. In additional correspondence, Ms. Miller also stated, "... I think those records are in the cathedral in nearby Siegen..." [NOTE: In light of new information; it would appear that a couple of very important corrections needs to be made in Jane Miller's comments above. The Müller, burned at the stake was Bernhard Müller, tried and convicted of being a magician and practicing sorcery. He was put to death on 21 June 1653 at Hilchenbach, northeast of Freudenberg. New found evidence also shows that Bernhard was likely the brother, of "#16" (Henrich Müller), and not his father. Bernhard Müller/Miller is a known son of Heyden (Heiden, Heite, Henrich) Müller, who died on 23 Feb. 1619 in Freudenberg. His wife was Margaretha "Gretha" (?). One researcher has stated that she was the daughter of Hans Frederick and Catherina von der Bach, though proof of this has yet to be cited. We do know that a Heite Müller/Möller's widow married Johan Herdlingen, in Freudenberg, on 30 July 1620, the year following Heite Müller's death. The fact that Henrich's father's name, and place of residence, is missing from the marriage record; and that Bernhard served as one of the groomsmen (witnesses) to Henrich's marriage, provided compelling evidence that they were from the same family. The last recorded witch hunt/trials in Europe occurred in the 18th Century (not the 1800's as stated in Ms. Miller's letter). In the Nassau-Seigen area, which included Freudenberg, the last trials and executions recorded, happened at Hilchenbach in the summer of 1653, during which Bernhard Müller was executed. Having said these things, Jane Miller still made some very important contributions to our Miller Family research in Germany.] In the past, the best information, available on the ancestry of John Frederick Miller of Halifax County, Virginia, was that which is found in the Publication," Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714 -1750", by B.C. Holtzclaw. According to him, the first of known of this line of Millers was Henrich Müller/Mueller of Freudenberg, Germany. Born about 1615-20 and died sometime before 1670. As evidenced by the christening of his first known son Joannes, it appears that he was marreid not later than 1642. According to Mr. Holtzclaw, Henrich was probably married to Elisabeth (b.1625), possibly the daughter of Wilhelm Friesenhagen, Chief Justice of the District Court of Freudenberg. This assumption was based on the fact that he was the Godfather of Henrich and Elizabeth Mueller's son, Wilhelm (b.1647). We now know that Elizabeth, daughter of Wilhelm Friesenhagen, was married to Martin Crafft of Siegen, and died in 1649. Martin served as "Ratsverw. in Siegen, dann Schultheiß" (Translated as Council Administrator in Siegen, then mayor). This information comes from professional German genealogist, Jens Kaufmann: "...the respected and influential Freudenberg families Krämer-Müller-Friesenhagen-Siebel, who are among his ancestors." The latest information currently available, indicates that Henrich was born about 1615, with his death occurring on 3 Dec. 1660 in Freudenberg. This however, would seem to create a timeframe problem, in that Heite Müller's wife, Margaretha, would likely have been past to child bearing age by that time. The only plausible alternative using the 1615 date, would be that Henrich was the son of Johann Müller/Möller, eldest son of Heite. He was married to Catherin Sturman, in Freudenberg, on 7 Feb. 1613. It is not clear if Johann Möller, who married Margret Wolff, daughter of Jacob Wolff, on 28 Apr. 1616 at Freudenberg, is the same Johann who married Catherin Sturman, three years before. Johann supposedly died in 1630. Both he, and Heite died before the marriage of Henrich, easily accounting for the missing name of the father and his place of residence in the marriage record. Either Heite or Johann's name could have been entered if either still alive at the time. With Bernhard serving as a witness at the wedding, he may have been acting in the stead of Henrich deceased father, which ever one it was. Heite Müller's deceased in 1619, and with Johann said to have died by 1630, a birthdate of 1615 for Henrich (age 15 at Johann's death), may suggest that he was living in the household of his uncle, Bernhard Müller, at the time of his marriage.This could foster the idea that Bernhard was the actual father. However, given the date of Bernhard's first marriage (1616), and the known children who were born, starting in the following year, it seems unlikely that Barnhard was the real father of Henrich. It is also now apparent that Henrich was married on 15 Nov. 1639 to Elisabeth, daughter of Johann Weigand Kray (Kreij/Krayns) of Neiderfischbach. Elisabeth died in 1653. The marriage record is found in the Freudenberg, Protestant Church. Henrich (sometimes shown as Henrici) and Elisabeth were the parents of at least five children who are: Joannes, Margaretha, Wilhelmus, Petrus and Johan Henrich Müller/Möller. Joannes - First known child of Henrich (Henrici) and Elisabeth (Kraij / Krayen) Müller/Möller. Christened on 15 Feb. 1643. Name appears as "Müller" in Freudenberg Church records. No additional data. Margaretha - Daughter of Henrich (Henrici) and Elisabeth (Kraij / Krayen) Müller/Möller. She was christened on 27 Dec. 1644. Name appears as "Müller" in Freudenberg Church records. No additional data. Wilhelmus - Third known child of Henrich and Elisabeth (Kraij / Krayen) Müller/Möller was christened of 4 Jul 1647, with Wilhelm Friesenhagen as Godfather. He was married at Oberfischbach, Westfalen, Prussia (Germany) to Anna Maria, daughter of Johannis Fischbach, on 15 Nov. 1670. His last name was given in the mariage record as "Moeller". Wilhelm died about 15 Dec. 1676 and was buried in Freudenberg. The known children of Wilhelm and Anna Maria (Fishbach) Müller/Möller were, Wilhelmus, Anna Christina, Anna Cathariena and Hermannus Müller. Wilhelmus - Wilhelmus Müller/Möller was married at Freudenberg, Westfalen, Prussia (Germany) to Anna Catharina Motz on 7 Nov 1693. They were the parents of Anna Catharin, Johannes, Johann Willhelm, Martinus, Henrich, Anna Catharina, Anna Margretha, Johanna Catharina, Hermannuss and Elssbeth (Elizabeth) Müller/Möller.

  • Ecology of Gelatinous Plankton
    Ecology of gelatinous plankton With emphasis on feeding interactions, distribution pattern and reproduction biology of Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Baltic Sea Written by Cornelia Jaspers Defended 14 May 2012 PhD thesis by Cornelia Jaspers Ecology of gelatinous plankton With emphasis on feeding interactions, distribution pattern and reproduction biology of Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Baltic Sea Defended: 14 May 2012 3 year PhD Project Supervisor: Prof. Thomas Kiørboe Co-supervisor: Prof. Torkel G. Nielsen 1 2 Summary Comb jellies were a relatively obscure group of zooplankton, until Mnemiopsis leidyi invaded the Black Sea in the 1980’s with cascading effects on several ecosystem levels including commercial fisheries. This native to the east coasts of America triggered large public and scientific attention as a result of this invasion and its ecological and economic impacts. In 2005, when M. leidyi was sighted in Northern Europe for the first time, similar consequences were feared. The aim of my PhD project was to understand the potential impact of M. leidyi on the Baltic Sea ecosystem and constrains on its dispersal. Specifically, the project investigated (i) direct and indirect effects of M. leidyi on the Baltic cod population in its most important spawning ground, (ii) factors governing the spatial and temporal distribution of M. leidyi eggs, larvae and adults in the Baltic and, (iii) M. leidyi reproduction and its effect on population development. The approach involved 13 monthly monitoring cruises from high saline Skagerrak to low saline northern Baltic regions, in situ and laboratory controlled reproduction and feeding experiments, molecular analysis for species verification, and statistical modeling.

This is the second of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits: for the first, see Acc.10664; for the third seeAcc.12335. This inventory has been compiled by Sheila McGregor, FSA Scot, for the Clan Gregor Centre. Introduction: This material represents the contribution of a rather small number of active individuals to the Clan Gregor Centre over many years of collecting and compiling. It represent both traditional knowledge and many years of research. It has occasionally been possible to attribute a file to a named individual but in most cases the folders are composite collections from many sources and these are attributed to me in my capacity as curator and general editor. The members of the Clan as a whole, who are extremely numerous, owe the active few a great deal since they have been among the very few to keep hold of their real past and to avoid the romantic escapism that pervades modern Highland culture, if that is the right word. It has been possible, with the support of these few active members and the willing collaboration of the National Library of Scotland, not only to preserve their knowledge but often to extend it since modern research tools have made it sometimes possible to find solutions to long-standing problems.

  • The Dark Ecology of Naked Lunch
    humanities Article The Dark Ecology of Naked Lunch George Hart Department of English, California State University Long Beach, Long Beach, CA 90840, USA; [email protected] Received: 15 September 2020; Accepted: 22 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Abstract: In this article, I argue that William S. Burroughs’ novel Naked Lunch engages in a “perverse aesthetics” that is analogous to Timothy Morton’s theory of dark ecology. The novel’s main themes of consumption and control are directly related to the Anthropocene’s twin disasters of global warming and mass extinction, and the trope for addiction, junk, reveals Burroughs’ deep analysis of the political and social forces that attempt to control life, what Burroughs calls biocontrol. By placing the novel’s obsession with hanging/lynching in the context of dark ecology, its critique of racism can also be seen as a critique of speciesism. Keywords: William S. Burroughs; Naked Lunch; dark ecology; consumption; control; Timothy Morton; speciesism; consumerism; mass extinction In the introduction of The Green Ghost: William Burroughs and the Ecological Mind, Chad Weidner rejects Timothy Morton’s dark ecology as a model for reading Naked Lunch. Drawing from The Ecological Thought, Weidner dismisses Morton’s claims that thinking ecologically is viral (an idea that would seem to appeal to the author of Naked Lunch), and that ecology includes such things as human emotions, mental illness, and capitalism, because such a theory “cast[s] a very wide net indeed”. According to Weidner, Morton “seems to accept the notion of nature as a cultural construct ::: but at the same time advises that we abandon romantic notions of nature altogether, to develop a more skeptical postmodern position.
