MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER 365. Alliance Coat of Arms http://www.minnixmischler.com

Old High German language surname, Münch, is the German spelling for the Latin word Monachus meaning Monk. Dominus Hugo Monachus I, 1185 AD, Dominus Cunrat Monachus I, de Basilea, 1191 and Hugo Monachus II, 1221 AD were the first family members with the Latin surname Monachus in the Münch Dynasty family. Utilization of Münch surname translation from Latin afterwards began. See rules for pronunciation below. Konrad Münch, Old High German surname, married Katharina von Löwenberg in 1371. Löwenberg means Lion Mountain.

The Münch Dynasty acquired and ruled Muttenz, acquired from the Löwenberg Dynasty, Switzerland and assimilated the Löwenberg maternal properties with Münch paternal properties.

After the marriage, the Lion Castle coat of arms, inherited by Katharina, heir of the Löwenburg Dynasty and the Münch coast of arms were united. An alliance between the two great dynasties and an alliance coat of arms, pictured above, resulted. The original Münch von Münchenstein coat of arms has only the Monk on shield. The Dynasty became a Holy Roman German Empire Reichstag, imperial state, until about 1499. 365.

Translation: “At the first written mention in 1196 Münchenstein was still called Kekingen, in 1270 appeared in a deed of donation of the cathedral of Basel the name Geckingen.”

“In 1259, the hamlet with mill, between the New World and St. Jakob was already mentioned in documents as the property of the Basel cathedral provost. The current place name Münchenstein appears for the first time in 1295, it means: "Burgfels der Münche" (castle rock of the Münich).”

The word Münch is the Old High German word for monk. “Münchenstein was the castle named after them, the episcopal ministers from the family of Münch. The 3 word stien was a name for stone and castles that stood on rocks. The place of residence for the Münch Family Dynasty was von Münchenstein,

“Historically, soon after its construction, the castle Münchenstein was subordinated to the feudal power of the Counts von Pfirt. With the death of the last Count von Pfirt, Ulrich III. In March 1324 in Basel, the feudal power was transferred to the house of Habsburg-Austria. Hereditary Countess Johanna de Pfette (1300-1351) was by marriage to Duke Albrecht II of Habsburg (1298-1358), Duchess of Austria. After that, the Münch von Münchenstein had their feudal property confirmed at irregular intervals in a document.

“In 1334, the name change was explicitly mentioned in a document issued by the Domstift Basel: "Geckingen que nunc Munchenstein appellatur" ("Geckingen, which is now called Munchenstein").

“The Basel earthquake in 1356 also affected Münchenstein, on the afternoon of October 18, 1356 an earthquake shook the city of Basel. The villages and castles of the area were severely damaged, the epicenter of the quake was about 10 km south of the city on the edge of the Jura hills between the Gempen and the rear Leimental. During the great earthquake in Basel, the 1334 completed castle in Münchenstein was damaged, but soon rebuilt.

Ruins of Münchenstein Castle

“In 1421 the umlaut "ö" was used and the village Mönchenstein was written. This name could hold until 1881, with the municipal law of 1881, the place name Mönchenstein was officially introduced. The use of ü and ö has waxed and waned.

“Hans Friedrichs' Münch pawned the village and the castle to the city of Basel in 1470 to finance his meercenery army and heavy knight service. The Treaty of Basel of 22 September 1499 was an armistice following the Battle of Dornach, concluding the Swabian War, fought between the Swabian League and the Old Swiss Confederacy.[1]

Münchenstein-Muttenz and Basel were imperial cities and governed by the Münch Dynasty withing the German Kingdom.

“From Hans Friedrichs' Münch heavy knight service, in which he provided soldiers to the 5000 Swiss mercenaries and heavy armor, a pledge shank (loan) from German Kingdom, King Maximilliam, enabled Hans Friedrichs to hold the Reichstag Münchenstein-Muttenz, the Imperial Estate and Government intact, was concluded.

“Münch dynasty lost control of Basel and as other Swiss cantons and Basel severed its relationship with the German Kingdom. Thus provided the rule of Münchenstein for the first time in municipal hands. See details page 16. [Münchenstein [map/sat/sites/3D/street, aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie]

English word monk is from the Latin term, Monachus and Old High German term, Mönch / Münch. In 1185 Hugo I Münch was first mentioned and, thereafter, repeatedly in official documents or in public records, derived from his prior forenames and surname, Hugo cognomento Monachus, Hugo cognomine Monachus or Hugo Monachus. See page 12. The Old High German phonation of Münch /Münnich in before 19th Century sounds like Menk /Minck and Minnick / Mennix when 3 Old High German language rules are applied to the Münch /Münnich surname:

1. umlaut, -ü is translated-to / sounds-like -ae, -ee or -i Mü = Mee or Mi or Me, long or short e 2. surname undergoes dialect lengthening and -nch becomes –nich, Minch = Minnich. The original Latin surname, Monachus, was a lengthened form. The Latin had been Old High German shortened from the beginning. Minnich / Minnix was the lengthened form. 3. High German graphemic shift -ich to -ix is applied Minnich = Minnicks / Minnix 5

The Old High German dialect was different because it was the written classical Church Latin and spoken Alemanni German. The interface was the resultant language. The Old High German Period was from 800-1050AD. The Old High German spoken language was first written in Classical and Church Latin, was preserved years after the period. The Latin written language was used by the Roman Catholic Church to enhance the suppression of paganism and spread Christianity. Old High German was derived from Latin. 350.

The process utilized in Münch Dynasty descendant’s research was a method of Data Mining Genealogical Spreadsheets for Diminutive Surnames searching for

 informative, analytical, multiple surnames, "alliance names" (Allianznamen)  and multibarrelled surname chains  and abbreviated multibarrelled surname chained letter sequences with patterns and trends,  which were adopted and became abbreviated, diminutive surnames,  which were derived from the noble compound surname:  MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER,  after The Münich Dynasty Imperial Reichstag collapsed and nobility in the newly formed Swiss Confederation became unlawful.

When the Münich Dynasty collapsed and lost their noble status, the middle class descendants adopted diminutive surnames formed in this family from 1. Münch Dynasty subdivisions. See page 9. 2. And in this Minnix-and-Mischler family from the subdivision alliance surname MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER from the core surname Latin Monachus [L.] and core Swiss German Münch / Mönch / Münnich / Mönnich / Bernese Swiss German Minnig / Münnix / others 3. and Basel Swiss German Münchler and Bernese Swiss French Mueschler / Meeschler / Mischler / Mishler / Messler / many others from the compound noble alliance surname: MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER a. formed from abbreviated dimenutive letter sequences, or a chain of abbreviated letters, with missing letters derived from the complete compound surname above. These double surnames are "alliance 6

names" (Allianznamen), sometimes attached in whole by hyphens and sometimes multibarrelled whole "name chains" surnames. “The Habsburgs (who were associated with the Münch Dynasty) were European champions at this, with an ever-lengthening imperial name listing all their land possessions. It was a nightmare for officials, but proclaimed just how ‘noble’ the family was. A 5-barrelled surname from the above compound surname with abbreviated letters, not whole surnames from each of the 5 was more practicle. [Three surnames for one person. Too many? By Chris Bowlby, BBC News, 8 May 2009] b. For example, "Losantiville" settlement, founded in 1788 was the first name for Cincinnati, Ohio. The original surveyor, John Filson, named it from 4 terms, each of different language. It means "The city opposite the mouth of the (Licking) River", "ville" is French for "city", "anti" is Greek for "opposite", "os" is Latin for "mouth", and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River". [History of Cincinnati, Ohio] c. Or from the Swiss suffixes -ler and -lerin which are usually attached to nouns and designate a person with a particular function. d. Original family functions of family descendants were administrative aristicrats of the Habsburg Dynasty, Bishops of Basel, mercenary soldiers, governors, lords and civil servants of the MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER Reichstag, and then civil servants of the Swiss Confederation after nobility loss 4. and other surnames 5. Descendants then spread far and wide to every continent

MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER offered the opportunity for many extremely different diminutive immigrant pioneer surnames to America and other countries and which was too lengthy for any register, military muster, minister and census accountant to record. Münchmeier, Münchberg, Münnich, Münnix, Minnix, Minnick, Miesch, Mischler and Mantz and all the Meyer, Mayer, Meier derivatives were among the most frequent altered, diminutive surnames. There were many, many more. This publication advances the conclusion that Jacob Ulrich Mischler II (OHB French) aka Jacob Ulrich Minachmyer (OHB German) was the father of Charles Minnix, Sr., Franklin County, Virginia. 7

All names are possible, but how was this conclusion unraveled i.e. this researcher’s 6th Great-Grandfather, Jacob Ulrich Mischler II aka Jacob Ulrich Minachmyer and 7th Great-Grandfather, Jacob Ulrich Mischler I displayed different surnames, than 5th Great-Grandfather Charles Minnix, Sr.? Charles Minnix, Sr., was listed in the German Church Records of the Monocacy Lutheran Congregation and Evangelical Lutheran Church, Frederick, Maryland and was associated with the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Franklin Co., VA. All will be verified in records that follow in this report.

Historically, the Ulrich Mischler family was described as immigrants from Schwarzenburg, Switzerland. Mischler was described as a Mennonite family name [Schelbert, L. & Luebking, S. (1978). Swiss Mennonite family names: An annotated checklist. SAHS Newsletter, 14(2), 2-32] and Mischler was listed in Mennonite records. [Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Vital Records, 1750-2014]

Thus, the answer is simple (sic, any thing but simple). The family spoke both very difficult to understand Old High Bernese Swiss (OHBS)-French, when the records identified Anabaptists, Jacob Ulrich Mischler I and II and OHBS-German, when records identified son and grandson, Revolutionary War German Flying Camp Unit veteran, Cpl Charles Minnix, Sr., from the core surmane Münnix/Münnich/Münch.

Charles Minnix, Sr.’s military service in the German unit and frequent entries in German Church Records, Frederick County Maryland plus Jacob Ulrich Mischler’s business and Anabaptist, Old Order Swiss Brethren, Mennonite associations are the concluded reasons. Although families migrated to America for religious freedom, religious freedom was not instantaneous. Immigrants have been described as Nicodemite. The descendants appeared to adopt Americanized splinter religious congregations and vacillate from Mennonite to German Church Records, Frederick County Maryland in order to have properly documented births, baptisms and citizenship.

"There are in Botetourt County, Virginia, Germans who spell their name differently i.e. (Minnic, Minnix and Minnich)." Exactly quoted. 222. "The Münches (sic pronounced Menixes)....spoke both French and German"....who migrated to Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Exactly quoted. 399. More specifically, they spoke Old High Bernese Swiss-French and Swiss–German. Important to remember Old High Switzerland dialects were uniquely their own. The Old High Bernese Swiss-French was pronounced with a silent nasal –n. the following is an example of the –n when pronounced and not pronounced: Hans Maschmeyer, Campbell, CA AKA: Hans E Manschmeyer, Hans E M [MyLife]. Do not despair, the following is how Münch sounds like Minnix. For complete pronunciation rules see: Liber I - THE ANCESTORS OF CHARLES Minnix, Sr., FRANKLIN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, BY MICHEAL B.

A brief description follows. The Old High German phonation of Münch /Münnich in 17th and 18th Centuries sounded similar to Menk /Minck and Minnick / Mennix when 3 Old High German language rules are applied to the Münch /Münnich surname: 1. umlaut, -ü and ö are translated-to and sounds-like -ae, -ee or -i Mü = Mee or Mi or Me, long or short e 2. surname undergoes dialect lengthening and -nch becomes –nich, Minch = Minnich. The original Latin surname, Monachus, was a lengthened one word form. The Latin had been Old High German shortened from the beginning. Minnich / Minnix was the dialect lengthened form similar to Monachus. 3. Old High German graphemic shift from -ich to sound like -ix when applied to Münch / Münnich became Minnicks / Minicks / Minnix / Menix. The Old High German dialect was different because it was the written classical Church Latin and spoken Alemanni German. The interface was the resultant language. The Old High German Period was from 800-1050AD. The Old High German spoken language, first written in Classical and Church Latin, was preserved years after the period. The Latin written language was used by the Roman Catholic Church to enhance the suppression of paganism and spread Christianity. Old High German was derived from Latin. 350. As the reader will find in this publication, Jacob Ulrich Mischler II was also identified in recrods, when Germanized, Mock, Minach, Meier and Myers or Mockkmeier, Minachmyers, because the family descended from the ancient noble Basel, Switzerland, Münch Dynasty, Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier, the complete, lengthy, compound surname. To begin, “surnames (last names) were not introduced throughout Germany and Europe at the same time. They were introduced in Zurich in 1145 and Basel, 11

Switzerland in 1168 and in Middle Germany in the 13th Century and North Germany 14th Century. ‘Noble” families were lengthily surnamed first.” “At the beginning of the 12th century there were 68 men named Burkhard in Basel and 73 men named Heinrich in Zurich, Switzerland without last names. It was confusing. Additional name differentiation was necessary.” Surnames began. “To distinguish the differences, they added personal occupations, titles, name of residence, personal characteristics and other variants to the core surname i.e. father’s son, der Sohn Jacob, Jacobson;” son of Hans, Meyerhans. “The title de Meier, represented a government official, minister official, balif, mercenary soldier i.e. Münchmeier, Münchmayer, Münch-la-Meier, Müncher; place of residence von Münchenstein, Monachus [Latin] monk, stein, stone, a monk stone fortress; personal characteristic Münch der Ritter, soldier, Müncher. Diminutives were single or compound in Old High German; z often denoted an abbreviation of the rest of the diminutive core name suffix Münchenstein- Muttenz to Munz, Mantz. [The Pennsylvania-German, Volume 8, Philip Columbus Croll, Henry Addison Schuler, Rev. P.C. Croll, 1907 - Pennsylvania Dutch] Beginning in the 12th Century, 832 years ago, 1185, during the Middle Ages (1100 to 1453), the Latin one word simple surname, Monachus, from the Latin word meaning monk was adopted and began the Münch Dynasty surname development. After nobility was bestowed on the family, from religious appointments (Bishops), governance (administrative aristocrats for the Habsburg dynasty), members of council and military (mercenary soldiers) service, membership in the Holy Roman Empire German Kigdom, the surname became more and more compounded as additional noble landholdings and noble marriages expanded the surname until the compound surname Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier was maximized and evolved, from which the simple surnames Münnix / Minnix, Möschler / Mechler / Mischler were derived.

“In 1273 Rudolf IV Hapsburg was elected as the first Holy Roman German Emperor from the Hapsburg Dynasty. Prior to 1273, Rudolf spent much of his life violently and cleverly accumulating land for his family.” 12

“The Hapsburgs held their possessions collectively, unlike other families that split their lands among their progeny, resulting often in the disappearance of both the family and its inheritance.”

“Rudolf inherited 7 lordships, and by the time of his death he had nearly 50, captured lordships, from marriage, purchase and pressure. The Bishop of Basle experienced this pressure he was under siege by Hapsburg troops when he heard of Rudolf's Ascension to the throne, and then prayed out loud:

“Hold onto your seat Lord, or else Rudolf will surely grab it.“ [Rain Magazine, Eugne, Oregon, Archive > 1991 > Medieval Movements and the Origins of Switzerland http://www.rainmagazine.com/archive/1991-1/medieval- movements-and-the-origins-of-switzerland ]

The Münch / Muenich (pronounced Menick / Menix) Family Dynasty became the administrative aristocrats of the Laufenburg branch of the Habsburg Dynasty. Some of the Münch (Menick / Menix) came into the civil service of the Bishop of Basel. They were appointed governors of Basel, Switzerland by the Habsburgs and managed the province, the abbatial ecclesiastical principality of Basel from about 1100-1545 AD.

In 1185 Hugo I Münch was first mentioned and thereafter repeatedly in official documents or in public records, alternatively as named Hugo Cognomento Monachus, Hugo Cognomine Monachus or Hugo Monachus. “Cognomen was honored to distinguish branches of the family and highlight an individual's achievement, typically in warfare, made important feats, names of valor.” i.e. Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, who’s Cognomen Magnus was earned after his military victories under Sulla's dictatorship. When already a Cognomen, the title was advanced and individual was awarded another exclusive higher name, Agnomen. Roman legioneres who hailed from certain regions or serverd valientely in certain regions bore certain cognomen. The evidence was inscribed on stones and within Roman Legion reconrds, papryi. One conclusion was certain in the following research, the meaning of the word Cognomina was inclusively uncertain in all Roman cases. [Lindley, Richard Dean (1916). "A Study of the Cognomina of Soldiers in the Roman Legions". Princeton University. p. 284]

Most probably Cognomen / Cognomento was intended in the beginning of about 1300 Switzerland when the group of feudal dependencies were formed without a 13 name part of the Holy Roman German Empire and peasants lived under feudal traditions of their lords of ‘common blood’. See page 17 The Münchs rose to commissionaires of the bishop of Basel. During this period the bishops' mentors and consultants were a privileged society. The first knight Münch was mentioned in 1232 and he lived in Burg, one of the most exclusive and aristocratic areas in the city, near the Basel Münster. Munster, Münster is etymologized from the Latin Monasterium, ‘monastery’. Munster is a topographic name for someone who lived near a monastery. ["Minster". Oxford English Dictionary Online.] Münch Dynasty acquired and ruled Münchenstein and Muttenz, Switzerland and other properties were acquired from the Laufenberg branch of the von Hapsburg Dynasty as reward for Münch family mercenary military service. [Doris Huggel: "Die Münch on Münchenstein - Aufstieg und Niedergang eines Geschlechts" Kulturkommission der Bürgergemeinde Münchenstein 1999.]

The Münch von Münchenstein took over the Münchenstein-Muttenz lordship fief and the 3 fortresses of Wartenberg Castle which overlooked the Roman Road and the beginning of the Rhine River flow into Germany, then the Netherlands, ending in the ocean. Below are pictures of ruins of Wartenberg Castle, Muttenz, Swiss.

On May 2, 1515, the city of Basel was finally able to purchase the front and middle castle on the Wartenberg from the Münch descendants. At this time Konrad Münch was only writing about a castle. The two castles were no longer inhabited and disintegrated.

“The princes of the House of Hapsburg, who were rulers of Austria and occasionally Holy Roman Emperors, tried vainly for two centuries, from 1315, to defeat Swiss self-rule and to keep a growing number of villages and districts from chucking their nobility and "turning Swiss".

“The Swiss Confederation, opposed to nobility and the Münch Dynasty, had no single leader, and was held together loosely by regular negotiation among many small rural, town and church interests. By 1525, with loss of the Münch (Menick) Dynasty Reichstag, their properties that joined the Swiss confederation ensured self-rule and withdrawal from Holy Roman German Empire.”

Each Münch Dynasty family subdivision represented acquisition of additional land and lordships for that subdivision of the Münch Dynasty. That subdivision became “Landed Reichstag’, because, unlike the Hapsburg Dynasty, the Münch Dynasty divided lands among their progeny.

Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier was another family compoundation activated by the allegiance of these 2 noble families, the Löwenberg Dynasty and Münch Dynasty. Münchenstein-Muttenz denoted that the name of the family imperial estate was a Reichstag. “The Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire ( 962–1806) was the general assembly of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire, called in Latin: Dieta Imperii or Comitium Imperiale; called in German: Reichstag.”

MINIX, SR., M.D., MARCH 24, 2014 available at the FRANKLIN COUNTY Historical Society Later, the descendants of the Münch Dynasty, Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz (Reichstag) von Löwenberg de Meier, underwent a diaspora from their Münch Dynasty’s feudal noble properties, following prohibition of nobility in Basel, Switzerland resulting from 3 significant events:

1) Schwabian War 1499. The Treaty of Basel of 22 September 1499 was an armistice following the Battle of Dornach, concluding the Swabian War, fought between the Swabian League and the Old Swiss Confederacy.[1] From Hans Friedrichs' Münch heavy knight service, in which he provided soldiers to the 5000 Swiss mercenaries and heavy armor, a pledge shank (loan) from the German King Maximilliam enabled Hans Friedrichs to hold the Reichstag Münchenstein-Muttenz, the Imperial Estate and Government intact.

Münchenstein-Muttenz and Basel were imperial cities and governed by the Münch Dynasty withing the German Kingdom. Hans Friedrich Münch was unable to repay his loan, for heavy mercenary armored service in battle, to the German Empire King, and eventually lost control of Basel and as other Swiss cantons, Basel severed its relationship with the German Kingdom.

“At the beginning of about 1300 Switzerland was a group of feudal dependencies and formed without a name part of the Holy Roman German Empire with peasants living under feudal traditions of their lords of ‘common blood’. Basel, Berne, Lucerne and Zürich were important markets and industrial centers and the only significanat cities. There was no unity.

“The Habsburg Dynasty was an important landholder and territoral prince, an emperial eccleseastical principality. A struggle ensued for dominance and control for ‘rights of soverereignty over the ‘valleys’ and lasted between the Habsburgs’ Empire and eventual Swiss Confederation. When Austian Rudolf of Habsburg became German emperor or king (1273-1291) the struggle became even more complicated. Imperial rights and Habsburg ‘blood rights’ continued in parallel until the death of Rudolf 1291 and the Swiss Confederation was born. The Cantons felt free from the ‘Austrian Habsburg territoral complex’.

“The Rutli Council representing the Cantons began meeting regularly at the foot ob the Münchenstein at a place called Rütli. The objectives were to overtake the Babsburg castles and drive out the Austrian governors. The Cantons were were constituted and estate of the Empire and imperial law was administered to protect them from violence from the Habsburgs. Opposition to Habsburg controll was relentless and continued. Scirmisches were frequent between the Austiran Habsburgs and the Cantons. Feudal lordships could not be established by the Habsburgs over the Cantons. The Federation continued to grow and a treaty was signed in 1318. The Habsburgs had no soverign rights over the Cantons.

“The victory of Laupen 1339, a battler of feudal hereditary and freedom for communities’ nobility and secured Berne’s dominating infludence in Western Switzerland. Then the Eastern and Western regions were called Switzerland. Basel became a federated member of German citiy leages 1384. The virus of democracy spread.

“Battles continued. A 7 years treaty, Sempach Compact, was reached between Austria Habsbergs hereditary principalities and the Confederation in 1389. The Confederates were to retain all the castles, towns, fortresses, valleys, land and people taken from Austria and held at that point. [The Beginnings of Modern Europe (1250-1450) by Ephraim Emerton, Ginn & Company, 1917, 550 page]

“From about 1400 the Swiss Confederatin was 8 Cantons, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden, Zürich, Zug, Lucerne, Berne and Glarus. It was a definitive ‘nation’ within the larger Holy Roman German Empire. The Confederation became more loosley connected to the Empire with time, as the bonds between the Cantons tightened.

In the The Treaty of Basel of 22 September 1499, the Cantons were acting as an independent state and the Empire recognized it as so. The Confederatin became totally exepmt from imperial jurisdiction and service to the Empire.

The Swiss Confederacy took control and Basel became free of imperial German Kingdom jurisdiction and taxation and became an independent, non-imperial principality, free European state in 1499.

Basel was no longer a member of the Holy Roman German Empire, nor obeyed the German Reichstag. [History of Switzerland 1499-1914, by Wilhelml Oechsli, June 13, 2013] [Georg Kreis: Federal city in German, French and Italian in the online Historical Dictionary of Switzerland, 20 March 2015]

2) “The Swiss Reformed Church (Evangelisch-reformierte Kirchen der Schweiz) refers to the Reformed branch of Protestantism in Switzerland, which began in the 1520s in Zurich, then in Bern 1528, then to Basel, Germany and Alsace, France. ["Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches, World Council of Churches". www.oikoumene.org]

“The Swiss Reformed were called Anabaptists, because they did not believe in baptism and sprinkling before the age of accountability and only believed in immersion baptism, hence Anabaptism. “Ana-baptism in Switzerland began as an offshoot of the church reforms instigated by Ulrich Zwingli. As early as 1522 it became evident that Zwingli was on a path of reform preaching when he began to question or criticize such Catholic practices as tithes, the mass, and even infant baptism.

“The division between Zwingli and his more radical disciples became apparent in an October 1523 disputation held in Zurich. To the radicals, the Bible was the final authority of church reform. Feeling frustrated, some of them began to meet on their own for Bible study. As early as 1523, William Reublin began to preach against infant baptism in villages surrounding Zurich, encouraging parents to not baptize their children.

In the lists Swiss of births, census and marriages herein included, Manz was found a Münch / Mönch dimutive terminated with Z.

“Felix Manz, a citizen of Zurich and a Hebrew scholar, began to publish some of Karlstadt's writings in Zurich in late 1524. By this time the question of infant baptism had become agitated and the Zurich council had instructed Zwingli to meet weekly with those who rejected infant baptism "until the matter could be resolved." Zwingli broke off the meetings after two sessions, and Felix Manz petitioned the Council to find a solution, since he felt Zwingli was too hard to work with. The council then called a meeting for January 17, 1525.

“Dissatisfaction with the outcome of a disputation in 1525 prompted Swiss Brethren to part ways with Huldrych Zwingli. The Council ruled in this meeting that all who continued to refuse to baptize their infants should be expelled from Zurich if they did not have them baptized within one week. Since Conrad Grebel had refused to baptize his daughter Rachel, born on January 5, 1525, the Council decision was extremely personal to him and others who had not baptized their children. Thus, when sixteen of the radicals met on Saturday evening, January 21, 1525, the situation seemed particularly dark. The Hutterian Chronicle records the event:

“After prayer, George of the House of Jacob (George Blaurock) stood up and besought Conrad Grebel for God's sake to baptize him with the true Christian baptism upon his faith and knowledge. And when he knelt down with such a request and desire, Conrad baptized him, since at that time there was no ordained minister to perform such work.

“After Blaurock was baptized, he in turn baptized others at the meeting. Even though some had rejected infant baptism before this date, these baptisms marked the first re-baptisms of those who had been baptized as infants and thus, technically, Swiss Anabaptism was born on that day.

“Manz was born and died in Zürich, where his father was a canon (principle) of Grossmünster church. Though records of his education are scant, there is evidence that he had a liberal education, with a thorough knowledge of Hebrew, Greek and Latin.

“Manz became a follower of Huldrych Zwingli after he came to Zürich in 1519. When Conrad Grebel joined the group in 1521, he and Manz became friends. They questioned the mass, the nature of church and state connections, and infant baptism. After the Second Disputation of Zürich in 1523, they became dissatisfied, believing that Zwingli's plans for reform had been compromised with the city council.

“Grebel, Manz and others made several attempts to plead their position. Several parents refused to have their children baptized. A public disputation was held with Zwingli on 17 January 1525. The council declared Zwingli the victor.

“After the final rebuff by the city council on 18 January, in which they were ordered to desist from arguing and submit to the decision of the council, and have their children baptized within eight days, the brethren gathered at the home of Felix Manz and his mother on 21 January. Conrad Grebel baptized George Blaurock, and Blaurock in turn baptized the others. This made complete the break with Zwingli and the council, and formed the first church of the ‘Radical Reformation’. The movement spread rapidly, and Manz was very active in it. He used his language skills to translate his texts into the language of the people, and worked enthusiastically as an evangelist. Manz was arrested on a number of occasions between 1525 and 1527. While he was preaching with George Blaurock in the Grüningen region, they were taken by surprise, arrested and imprisoned in Zürich at the Wellenburg prison.

“On 7 March 1526, the Zürich council passed an edict that made adult re- baptism punishable by drowning. On 5 January 1527, Manz became the first casualty of the edict, and the first Swiss Anabaptist to be martyred at the hands of other Protestants.

“The etymology of the name Felix is a male name, from Latin adjective felix, meaning fruit-bearing, fruitful, fertile abundantly, successfull and came to mean lucky, happy or fortunate. The adjective felix comes from a root feo, fevo, meaning to bear or produce, and is cognate with the Greek verb φυω (phuo; Luke 8:6, Hebrews 12:15).” [Abarim Publications, Biblical Names]

Many descendants of the Münch Dynasty practiced various new religions i.e. Swiss Brethren, Mennonite, Amish, Reformed and other Protestant religions. [Ruth, John L (1975). Conrad Grebel, Son of Zurich. Scottdale, PA: Herald Pres]

3) Swiss Tax War (Peasant War) of 1653 “was a popular revolt in the Old Swiss Confederacy at the time of the Ancien Régime. A devaluation of Bernese money caused a tax revolt that spread from the Entlebuch valley in the Canton of Lucerne to the Emmental valley in the Canton of Bern and then to the cantons of Solothurn and Basel and also to the Aargau.”

The population of the countryside demanded fiscal relief from their ruling authorities, the city councils of these cantons' capitals. The peasants laid siege on Bern and Lucerne, whereupon the cities negotiated a peace agreement with the peasant leader Niklaus Leuenberger, the so-called peace on the Murifeld. The Huttwil League and the peace of the Murifeld were declared null and void by the city council of Bern. Many exponents of the insurrection were captured, tortured, and finally received heavy sentences. Niklaus Leuenberger was beheaded and quartered in Bern on September 6, 1653. [Historical Dictionary of Switzerland]

Soon after the war, the ruling aristocrats instituted a series of reforms and even lowered some taxes, thus fulfilling some of the peasants' original fiscal demands. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_peasant_war_of_1653]

After the family’s demotion from a noble Swiss family with ‘comon blood’, for the mainenence of an upper class and class equality, a sideway ‘promotion’, an objective of war, which followed these events, family members became eligible for civil service as sheriffs, bailiffs, mayors, government officials and ministers, rather than nobility. Former nobles were eligible for civil service. For one reason most were somewhat, others were highly educated and some had been previous civil servants. The suffix to the core surname, Meier, denoted their soon to be civil service, middle class status and former nobility.

Following the historical events described, the descendants of the Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz (Reichstag) von Löwenberg de Meier, underwent a diaspora from their Münch Dynasty’s feudal noble ‘common blood’ properties.

Descendants migrated from Basel, Switzerland to neighboring and distanat regions. From Basel descendants entered bilingual Bern, Switzerland, both Old High Bernese Swiss German and Old High Bernese Swiss French (OHBSG-OHBSF) and mixed OHBSG-OHBSF surnames were derived. Bern, Switzerland became the Mischler diminutive surname (OHBSF) epicenter along with neighboring Haut Rhein, France and Württemburg, Germany.

With the prohibition of noble recognition in Switzerland the compound surname was demoted back to many simple, diminutive, abbreviated-like middle class surnames, which would fit into the democratic Swiss Confederation.

Imagine the possibilities for simple one word surnames, which are destructed bits and pieces of the lengthy, compound, noble surname, Münch von Münchenstein- Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier.

Münnix / Minnix was OHBSG surname from the core surname Münch / Münich / Münigh / Minnig.

The cantons of Fribourg, Bern and Valais are officially German and French bilingual and Graubünden officially trilingual with German, Italian and Romansh Swiss languages All those languages as described are native to the state.

Then imagine the added surname complexity when there are a large numbers of varied, challenging dialects that exist in the small Switzerland country that affect the surname. [Languages and religions – Data, indicators: Langages". Neuchâtel, Switzerland: Swiss Federal Statistical Office. 2015. Retrieved 2015-10-24]

“The German-speaking Swiss do not feel like a uniform group: the average German-speaking Swiss feels foremost belonging to Solothurn, St. Gallen, or Uri, and sees himself not speaking Swiss German, but the Baseldytsch (German dialect of Basel), Bärndütsch (dialect of Bern) or Züridütsch (dialect of Zurich).

“This is hardly surprising, however, since there is no single unifying or standard form of Swiss German itself, whereby the term "Swiss German" is simply a generic umbrella term referring in general to all of the various different dialects of German within German-speaking Switzerland, not standard German German.

“By middle of the 18th century, in the Swiss Confederation both the financial and social situations of the villagers had not changed much to the better. The main population of Muttenz consisted of: 27 farmers and their families, 170 'Tauners' (farm hands) with their families and 40 widows.” “This was the state, when Elisabeth Spänhauer-Spitteler decided to leave for the American Colonies with her four children Heinrich, Wernet, Anna and Barbara. At the same time, the family of Claus Spänhauer + Ursula (Schwartz) emigrated with their children Jacob + Matheus.

“Nine years later, Heinrich returned to Muttenz on a visit and when he again headed for America, 66 emigrants from Muttenz left with him. Among them we find another Spänhauer family, the one of Stephan Spänhauer + wife Ursula (Brodbeck) with their son Friedrich. In 1750, another 11 people from Muttenz followed.” [Muttenz History, http://www.muttenzdescendants.org/exhibits/muttenzhistory/18thcent.htm]

Researchers can understand haw Menk / Minck / Minnick / Minnix were derived from the The Old High German phonation of Münch /Münnich in 17th and 18th Centuries, when the 3 Old High German language rules, described afore, are applied to the Münch / Münnich surname. Please see page 3 above.

Researchers can derive the Old High Bernese French Mischler, Meschler, Mishler, Meshler from the Old High Basel German Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier from several directions with different core surnames and suffixes from the original compound surname.

For illustration the following surnames are from Swiss, German Births, Baptisms: Muttenz, Münch, Mönch, Münchenstein, Mönchenstein are core surnames Meyer / Mayer / Mejer / Meier are common suffixes.

Meyerin. –in is a common Meyer suffix addition and possibly from son of Hans Myerhans. Berger is a common suffix and Steiner is a common suffix:

Christian Minix was the first immigrant to North America who used the name Minix. Charles and Henry Menix were second and third. Christian Minix was from Bern, Switzerland and was also a Münch-Meyer descendant according to South Carolina Colonial records. This reporter has not proved that he was not closely related to Charles Minnix, Sr. However, facts related to both verified they were originally from Bern. The following marriage of Christian Minix-Meyers illustrates one of the many problems while trying to decipher the Swiss-German Compound Surname.

The first spelling of Minix found in Colonial America was during the South Carolina Indian Wars where Col. Minix was mentioned in 1755. Christian Minnig / Minnick / Minix / -ig / -ick / -ix was indexed Col Minix in that reference. 254.

Minix was concluded a typical Old High Swiss-German surname Münich pronunciation. The lesson was that his name was pronounced in Old High German: Menax, Manix, Minnix and Minnick of the Old High German Münch / Mönnich / Minnig. The reader should understand the difference in Old High German in the 17th and 18th Centuries and German today. An example is the English - Julius Caesar is the Latin pronunciation - Ulius Kaesar.

Dominus and De Minax were the Latin for castle master or ruler. Historical dates in Roman numerals are preceded by the notation "Anno Domini” meaning the year of our Master (or Lord). Domini from the Latin possessive of dominus and de minax. 152.

The Latin surname and translations are the following: Monachus Rex (Dominus, Dominax) de Monachsestein*

LATIN: Monachus Rex Minax TRANSLATION noun Monachus - monk noun Rex - king, master, leader adjective minax- authority, dominant, threatening, stern, haughty, relentless, strict, castle master de preposition- from; away from, out of (Dominax)

adjective Dominus - legal power, combat, hand, fist, soldiers, castle master Monachen possessive noun- Monks' 152.

Stein is an original Old High German word not derived from Latin.

Charles Minnix, Sr., final census 1810, Franklin County, Virginia, was the progenitor of many Minnix descendant families and central figure of this report. His father was concluded Jacob Ulrich Mischler II, who died in Franklin County, Virginia 1802 with will and probate 1802-1804. Jacob Ulrich Mischler I was concluded Charles Minnix, Sr. granadfather from Bern, Switizerland. The Charles Minnix, Sr. and Jacob Ulrich Mischler family names were derived from Old High Basel Swiss German and Old High Bernese French (OHBaselSG- OHBernSF) respectively and mixed OHBSG and OHBSF. It appeared from primary records that the Maryland German Church ministers and scribes changed the OHBSG and OHBSF, Swiss Brethren surname Mischler / Mishler to the German surname, Münich and American surname, Minnick / Minnix.

They were introduced in Zurich in 1145 and Basel, Switzerland in 1168 and were in Middle Germany in the 13th Century and North Germany 14th Century. ‘Noble” families were named first. At the beginning of the 12th century there were 68 men named Burkhard in Basel and 73 men named Heinrich in Zurich, Switzerland. It was confusing. Additional name differention was necessary. To distinguish the differences, they added occupations, titles, name of residence, personal characteristics and other variants to the core surname i.e. father’s son, der Sohn Jacob, Jacobson; title de Meier, government official, minister official, balif, mercenary soldier, Münchmeier, Münchmayer, Münch-la-Meier; place of residence von Münchenstein, Monachus [Latin] monk, stein, stone, monk stone fortress; personal characteristic Münch der Ritter, soldier. Müncher. Diminutives were single or compound in Old High German; z was often the diminutive core name suffix Münch to Munz, Mantz. [The Pennsylvania-German, Volume 8, Philip Columbus Croll, Henry Addison Schuler, Rev. P.C. Croll, 1907, Pennsylvania Dutch] Not many census, birth, baptism, death, military and church record scribes would have the time or record space to write the entire surname Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier. The entire surname had been abandoned by most after nobility was outlawed following the Democratic Swiss Confederation government rule. Derived surnames were merely abbreviated dimenutives of the large compound surname. Locals probably, in the beginning, knew who the diminutive surname represented. Only bits and pieces of the 34 lengthy, compound surname were recorded. The Ulrich Mischler family was described as immigrants from Schwarzenburg, Switzerland. Ulrich Mischler surname in primary records was also Mesler / Meysler, The Maryland Mischlers, who began in Schwarzenburg, were lastly from Würtemberg, Germany before migration to America.

This researcher concluded they were descendants of the Mücnh Dynsty, first from Basel, Switzerlamd. before Bern and then to Germany, France etc. See below. "In general 'Germanic' or literary spellings of German names appear to have been preserved by the nineteenth century emigrants (to America) to a greater degree than by the eighteenth century families" when Charles Minnix, Sr. family immigrated. 18th century (1700s) family surnames were more corrupted. 287. “While the Familiennamenbuch is the authoritative subject on locating the town associated with a Swiss family name, and must be included in any bibliography on the subject, this article is more user-friendly and limited to 150 of the major Swiss Brethren, Mennonite and Amish families.

Muesnch (Münch) von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Loewenberg de Meier Muetzlenberger, Muetzelberg, Möschberger are surnames that have enough lettering which more closely resembles the 2 alliance families Münch von Münchenstein von L֊öwenberg. The surnames are ‘all down hill from here’. St.Arbogast Fortified Church in Muttenz, Switzerland is the only remaing fortified church in Europe. Konrad Münch von Münchenstein repaired the earthquake damages of 1356. It was expanded in the 15th century by Hans Thüring Münch to the Wehrkirche (defensive church) and equipped with a new tower. The two Saints on the pulpit of the Reformed St. Arbogast Church were Jacob and Mathias. Ulrich, Jacob and Mathias were forenames commonly used in the 18th Century among descendants and among Minnick / Minnix family members.

Münnix / Minnix and Mischler were examples of the many surnames which were minimized and merged into one single word derived from the compound surname: MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER → MISCHLER, MINNIX + other one word surnames. The Mischler surname was not an original surname derived from an occupation, region of residence, personal characteristic, family characteristic or appearance which followed the forename, but an abbreviated letter sequence, representing the complete compound ‘common blood’ surname, MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER, which became Mischler.

For example, this reporter’s core surname is Münnix / Minnix / Minix. This reporters complete abbreviated name is mbmsrmd, often used to prevent using the complete name Micheal Bryan Minix, Sr., M.D.

Mischler is an abbreviated, diminutive letter sequence, representing the complete compound surname, MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER, which became a letter sequence permanent surname.

“The Habsburgs (who were associated with the Münch Dynasty) were European champions at this, with an ever-lengthening imperial name listing all their land possessions.

it from 4 terms, each of different language. It means "The city opposite the mouth of the (Licking) River", "ville" is French for "city", "anti" is Greek for "opposite", "os" is Latin for "mouth", and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River". [History of Cincinnati, Ohio] c. Or from the Swiss suffixes -ler and -lerin which are usually attached to nouns and designate a person with a particular function. d. Original family functions of family descendants were administrative aristicrats of the Habsburg Dynasty, Bishops of Basel, mercenary soldiers, governors, lords and civil servants of the MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER Reichstag, and then civil servants of the Swiss Confederation after nobility loss 4. and other surnames 5. Descendants with diminutives, then spread far and wide to every continent.

The abbreviated letter sequence surnames evolved from repeated and recurrent larger to smaller letter sequences, because there were so many letters in the noble surname and formed many letter sequence diminutive surnames: ^Maechlen / Meichlen / Muechlin / Möschberger / Mutzlenberg / Muetzlenberger / Muzenberg / Muzenberg / Mechel / Michler / Mischler / Mishler / Messner etc. depending on the parts for emphasis. See these surnames ^ in the indicies that follow.

Additionally, Old High German was the language in Basel and both Old High German and Old High French were the languages in Bern, Switzerland and the Baseldytsch (dialect of Basel) and Bärndütsch (dialect of Bern) were different. For example, see ^Maechlen / Meichlen / Muechlin below in Switzerland Births and Baptism Records. Minnix is different because Münnichs / Münnix / Münz / Minnicks / Minnix are surnames derived from the core surname Münch / Mönch / Münnich / Mönnich.

The objective for the publication of the lengthy forename and surname lists, which follow, ad majorem bene de familiam [L.] (for the graeatest good of the family) is for the reader to visualize numerous abbreviated, deminutive transition surnames derived from the same large compound surname, MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER and imagine the letter sequence assembled into an abbreviated Mischler surname consistently used surname for the immediate family.

The Münich von Löwenberg, monk and lion, coat of arms under the archway in the inner part of the St.Arbogast Fortified Church in Muttenz, Switzerland Mechler / Mieschler / Mischler / Mishler can also be stemmed from either: Maechlen ← Müchlen OHBF ← Muetzlenberg OHBF ← Münchlen OHBG ← 1. Münchlowen(berg) OHBG Maechler ← Mosmeyer OHBF ← Messmer OHBF ← 2. Münchmeyer OHBG ← Meyer / Mayer / Meier ← Meyrin and variations are very common in Swiss records. See below

Some may have come somewhat earlier. As early as 1595 the prince-bishop Jakob Christof demanded of the provost in Münster that the filth of the damned sect of the Anabaptists in the Holy Roman Empire be removed. Upon the insistence of several Jura communities the prince-bishop in 1731 ordered the expulsion of the Mennonites, but withdrew his mandate when the landowners appealed in behalf of the quiet, orderly mountain dwellers. Nevertheless the toleration was arbitrary, they were not permitted to buy land, and they must remain in the mountains. Thus the congregation of the Münsterberg was able to organize and develop unmolested. Peter Ramseier (b. 1706) was chosen as preacher in 1730, and elder in 1732. Ramseier must have been an important preacher in the brotherhood, for he was called to peace conferences in the Palatinate with other brethren four times—in 1762, 1766, 1770, and 1782, in an attempt to heal a schism among the Palatinate brethren. Early in the 19th century the Münsterberg congregation reached a period of considerable prosperity. With members living on isolated farms in the adjacent communities of Perfitte, Eschert, Grandval, Roche, and Courrendlin the congregation numbered 258 souls. The elder and preacher at that time were respectively Peter Sprunger and Peter Habegger. Traces of blessing were also left by the Mennonite schoolteacher Johann Baumgartner, who implanted the Word of God into the hearts of the children. The deacon was Peter Lehmann, whose son Peter Lehman became preacher in 1848.” [Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online] [Gratz, Delbert L. Bernese Anabaptists and their American descendants. Goshen, IN: Mennonite Historical Society, 1953. Reprinted Elverson, PA : Old Springfield Shoppe, 1994]. Bern is 65 miles due South of Pfeffingen Switzerland 62

Minix was concluded the sound of the Old High Bernese Swiss-German core surname Münich / Mönich pronunciation. The lesson was that his name was pronounced in Old High Bernese German: Menax, Manix, Minnix and Minnick of the Old High German Münch / Mönnich / Minnig. The reader should realize the difference in Old High German in the 17th and 18th Centuries and German today; just as the example: Julius Caesar is Latin pronounced Ulius Kaesar.

A copy of Christian Minnick's will, filed in Philadelphia in 1783, and obtained by the author, revealed his children's names and his signature at that time was Minnick. His sons were John, Samuel and Joseph. Each was researched by this author. They were ruled out as Charles Minnix's immediate family. Although he was married to more than one woman acording to history, was probably related. In 1757 Christian Minnick, of the Edisto Forks, was Lieutenant Colonel of the Berkeley County Militia Regiment, which included the companies of Amelia, Orangeburgh and other settlements to the northwest. On 25 Mar 1747 Christian Minnick was appointed Inquirer, Assessor, and Collector for the Township of Orangeburgh, Amelia, Forks of Edisto, and adjacent places. He relocated to Pennsylvania about 1770 from SC. On 15 Dec 1774 he was chosen as a member of the Committee for Observation for Bucks County. [PA. PA mag.

Descendants were many, who survived with altered, diminutive, shortened surnames derived from Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier, the lengthy compound Old High Bernese Swiss German-French (OHBSG- OHBSF) surname. No one attempted to record the entire compound surname, even in Switzerland Middle Ages and certainly not in America. Nobility and noble surnames had been become unlawful. Consequently, only bits and pieces of the lengthy, compound surname were recorded.

Ministers appeared to frequently craft their versions of diminutive surnames representing the Old High Bernese Swiss German-French (OHBSG-OHBSF) compound surname.

Munnich, Minnick, Minnix, Meier, Mayer, Meyer and Mischler and their bits and pieces variants were just a few of the many; some predominately French, some German, but Mischler a Bernese French admixture.

The following ship lists 1735, 1740 and 1749 reveal the more specific immediate Ulrich Mischler II / Menig / Menix immigrant families to America. The immediate family appeared to begin a massive migration in 1730 probably because of their religious persecution. Many appeared to be Swiss Anabaptist Brethren. They appeared to migrate to Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany is about 4 hours or 225 miles from Bern, Switzerland and others migrated to South Carolina and Pennsylvania. Notice the Löwenbergs surnames as well.

Captain Christian Menix / Minnicks from Bern, Switzerland to South Carolina was a prime example. Others migrated to South Carolina and Pennsylvania. The dimutive, abbreviated surnames were derived from the Middle Ages Münch Dynasty surname MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER 365. The family had long since lost their nobility in the Middle Ages.

The following ships arrived in Pennsylvanian in 1749 and 1750. No ship arrived in May 1750. Jacob Mischler (I) arrived on the ship Phoenix 15 September 1749 and Jacob Mischler (II) arrived on the ship Phoenix 15 September 1749 or the ship Ranier or Leslie 1749.

The 1750 primary records Jacob Ulrich, Catharina, Caröl (Charles) and Michael Mayer were concluded the first complete family name in the census, not the arrival date, which was 1749. Many times, that was the case, which is confusing.

Jacob Ulrich II, Catharina, Caröl (Charles) and Michael Mayer were the 4 members of Charles Minnix family, mother Eva Catharina, brother Michael and father Jacob Ulrich Mischler, Muenchmayer / Mesmyer. (see Charles Mayner Binns Genealogy)

Caröl, Carölus and Carlös in the 18th Century are predominately German masculine, not feminine. Caröl is Charles Minnix. See reference: “Ulrich Mayer with wife Catharina (Becker) and 2 Children, Caröl aged 2 and Michael aged 8 weeks, to Pennsylvania May 8, 1750 or New York.” [Paul W. Prindle, Immigrants to the Middle Colonies, Ludwigsburg District, Wurttemberg 1738-50]

Carol recorded and inaccurately often written with umlout ö Caröl

The family arrived in Philadelphia, PA, as primary records disclosed. Check Ancestry immigration records for the following male names to substantiate the German masculine of Carö, although not acuratelly written with umlout ö : Carol Christian Blume, Otto Carol Brand, Johans Carol Hefley, John Carol Krumholtz, Carol Lodewick VanDenBerg, Carrol Ludwigh Barngat, John Dominicus Carolus Bartholomaeus, Johann Carolus Sherman, Jost Carols Martine, Franz Carolus Grum etc. Church Latin was the primary written language for European church records 18th Century and before.

The Latin names for Charles were Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus. The name, Charles, "was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the 120

Great), and was at the time Latinized as Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus."

Ancestry.com reference: [Immigrants to the Middle Colonies, Ancestry.com] "Citizens desiring to immigrate to America from Poppenweiler, Ludwigsburg district, Herr Ortel found the following renunciations of citizenship, a requirement to renunciate or waiver their citizenship. Herr Egon Oertel, Oehringen, Wurttemberg, Germany a genealogist was engaged by Commander Howard Carlyle Wagar, UlSl Naval Reserve, to research The Wagar family and came upon others who likewise desired to emigrate."

Exact quote: “Ulrich Mayer, wife Catherina, and their two children, Caröl (aged 2 years) (German/ Swiss Carl, Caröl, Carölus, are American Charles) and Michael (aged 8 weeks), to Pennsylvania May 8, 1750.”[Immigrants to the Middle Colonies, Some emigrants to America from the Ludwigsburg District, Wurttemberg, Germany 1738-1750

______“Many of the Lutheran, Reformed, Anabaptists, Old Order Swiss Brethran, Amish, Menninite and others were junkers (land traders) and had money with which to trade. Junkers were sometimes noble class, but usually land speculators. They traded land and merchandise among their countrymen and religious families. German: Junker, Dutch: Jonkheer, Scandinavian: Junker. [Duden; Meaning of Junker, in German]

“But many engaged in war out of necessity and some married out of the church and were ‘read out’ of the church congregation. Some engaged or were subsititute in the Revolutionalry War for remuneration and land and some were 149 non-combatant participants and some were Nicodemite Anabaptists. The Nicodemites attended legal German Lutheran and Reformed services on the weekend and Brethren services on week nights, for the sake of remaining lawful because preaching the gospel was illegal for Anabaptists in some American colonies until after the Revolutionalry War.

“The Brethren arose as Schwarzenau Brethren in 1708 Germany. Their 300th Anniversary Celebration was in August 2008 in Schwarzenau, Germany. After the Thirty Year War in 1648 each German principality had been able to choose which of three religions - Catholic, Lutheran, or Reformed - would be recognized as their established religion. Known as Radical Pietism the Brethren dissenters arose from the spirit wanting to establish the "true" Christian faith. Alexander MACK steered the flock closer to the Mennonites doctrinal principles to adher to the teachings of the New Testament in regard to baptism, the Lord's Supper and feet washing, along with resistance to violence or force. Their Pietism exists because of the Reformation.

“Among others, names associated with this group include Tunker; Dunkard; German Baptist; Church of the Brethren; Dunkard Brethren; Grace Brethren; and Old Order German Baptist Brethren. [Follis Families in the U.S.]

Charles Minnix, Sr., was listed in the German Church Records of the Monocacy Lutheran Congregation and Evangelical Lutheran Church, Frederick, Maryland and associated with the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Franklin Co., VA.

This is a “Best Evidence Report:”

(Jacob) Ulrich Messler (Mishler) II , who died in 1802, purchased 500 acres called “Locust Thicket” on Quaker Hill Road, in Union Bridge, Frederick, Maryland in 1767, bequeathed the home and “Locust Thicket, [ Maryland Historic Registry] to his eldest son, John. That part of Frederick County, Maryland later became Carroll County, MD. 150

Allen Farquhar sold “Locust Thicket”, Maryland to Ulrich Messler who died 1802 left the home in Maryland to his eldest son, John. The Land left to John was about 500 acres. Messler is either a diminutive, abbreviation of Meysler (Meyer) or Muesch-le-Meyer (French silent –N-).

There were no Messler and Mischler residents in Carroll Co. in the 1860 Maryland Census, where the family original patented property was located (first Frederick Co, MD). The descendants of Jacob Ulrick Messler / Mischler II in Carroll County 1860 (John Mischler) appeared to have abandoned the French Messler / Mischler (silent –n-) surname for the German, Manacey / Mancky, probably handed by German ministers. Mancky was their version of Münich / Minnick. See page 15:

Jacob Mishler II died in 1802 left his home and land in Franklin County, Virginia to his daughters Catharina and Cecilia Mishler - French (Minnix - German), sisters of Charles Minnix.

Switzerland Coat of Arms for Minnig von Landskron (Münch von Landskron [Wappen der Münch von Landskron in Nikolaus Bertschis «Wappenbuch besonders deutscher Geschlechter] 156

The significance of this coat of arms is that this is designated as an alternate wappen (coat of arms) for the Münch von Landscron line of the Münch Dynasty. Minnig the surname that seemed to originate in Bern, Switzerland is pronounced Minnix in Old High Bernese Swiss German and French (OHBSG-OHBSF) Now see Charles Minnix (Minnig pronounced Minnix in OHBSGerman ) surname variations and significance in the Franklin County, Virginia Will book #1. The German Baptist Brethren walked and wagonned down the Great Wagon Road aka Carolina Road and established what later became the largest Brethren congregation today in Virginia. The road ran from Market Street in Philadelphia to Carolina. First it was a buffalo trace, then a Native American Indian path, the Wagon Road for migration and now route 220, a 4-lane highway.

In 1782 The Virginia General Assembly was established and German persons petitioned the Assembly, which granted them the towns named Germantown and Wisenberg. The towns were established and Germantown was designated by the Germans to be the county seat, but neither town thrived and survived and Rocky Mount established by the English speaking citizens in 1836 became the Franklin County seat. Although the towns failed, the Germantown Congregation thrived. William Smith, a revolutionary soldier, who converted to Brethran and renowned pioneer Brethren minister Jacob Miller 1790 began preaching side by side, Smith in English and Miller in German. The Germantown Brick Church was later constructed in 1846. [The Old German Baptist Brethren: Faith, Farming, and Change in the Virginia Blue Ridge by Charles D.

The following BINNS GENEALOGY 1800 VIRGINIA TAX LIST include Jacob Ulrich Mischler / Misler / with many variations of his name. The Meaning of Binns Tax 159 lists follows. “Virginia Censuses for 1790 and 1800 were lost and can never be replaced. But the early tax records of the Virginian counties still survive and list all individuals charged with a tax on a business or other transactions. The lists may also contain names of young men who were tithable, or taxable, much like a male dependent of a household. Names of recently deceased individuals whose property was still in estate are also listed. There are many clues in tax lists that suggest family relationships that can not be found in the early censuses.”

Researchers must reconstruct the name variations and reconstruct family relationships found within the lists. Therefore these tax lists can be used as an alternative census for the missing 1790 and 1800 Federal Censuses of Virginia.” This reporter is not positive how many of the following are Charles Minnix, Sr. father, Jacob Ulrich Mischler II OHB French / Minachmyers OHB German. The ones assaociated with the date 1802 are m ost probably his father. He was possibly a property agent, merchant and/or wagoneer with property located in various Virginia locations of trade.

Jacob Moyer is another Meier/Meyer surname version. Jacob Ulrich appeared to be listed with the surname Meier, Meyer, Mayer and variants in Frederick, Maryland. [Virginia Wills/Administration: Moyer, Jacob. Publication, Part of index to Botetourt County Wills and Administrations (1770 -1800) .402-403.Inv.&Appr. rec.July 1795] Repeating the Münch Dynasty descendatnts surnames principles: There are "a group of German-French names involves the dialect lengthening of a surname, for example, Münch into Minnich or Minnig." 287. The Bern surname Minnig is pronounced Minnix. “The Old High German dialect was different because it was the written classical Church Latin and spoken Alemanni German. The interface was the resultant 164 language. The Old High German Period literally was from 800-1050AD. The Old High German spoken language was first written in Classical and Church Latin, was preserved years after the period. The Latin written language was used by the Roman Catholic Church to enhance the suppression of paganism and spread Christianity. Old High German was derived from Latin.” 350. For example, the MONG / MANG / MAUG / MOHN surnames in Frederick County, Maryland were the same surname and from the “handwriting interpertatio” (German hand writing interpretations). 425.

Remember, Adam Mong / Adam Myers / Adam Musler / Adam Mussler were one and the same person i.e. Adam Mönchmyers. See page 7.

Mong, Mang Maug and Mohn can be and most probably were from the same families of Minnic, Minnick, Minnich, and Minnix depending on the language and dilect. "There are in Botetourt County Germans who spell their name differently i.e. (Minnic, Minnix and Minnich )." 222. From the beginning, the reader must also understand that "the Münches....spoke both French and German"....who migrated to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. 399. More accurately the Münches spoke Old High Bernese Swiss German and French (OHBSG-OHBSF). OHB German spelled Münches = American Minnixes when pronounced. The difficult lesson of this research is that Münch / Meng / Minck / Mengel / Mengh / Minich / Minicks / Minnix are all the same. All were derived from German name Münch (Münich). "Münch was the same as Münk, Münkle, Mink, Mönch" Menk(g)es Mengel, Menix Mensh. 95. Names Encyclopedia - stats, etymology, anagrams, famous people, rhymes Mischler Usage: 2% firstname, 98% surname.

Mischler History “Mischler is an old Swiss family from the canton of Bern. Bourgeois of Zofingen, Guggisberg, Rüeggisberg, Rüschegg to Walhern, Basel, Bernex, Le Grand Saconnex and Lucerne. Distribution of families Mischler in Switzerland (1999) An estimated 834 Mischler homes based in Switzerland with 409 (49%) in the canton of Bern, 71 in the canton of Vaud, 29 in the canton of Geneva, 12 in the canton of Lucerne, 87 in the canton of Zürich, 31 in Canton Aargau, 24 in the canton of Solothurn, 17 in the canton of Valais and 11 in the canton of Neuchâtel. [Famille Mischler] DIMINUTIVE NAMES: “Primary genealogy birth records’ data confirms that Münch Dynasty surnames began in the 12th century. The Netherlands, Genealogie Online demonstrates census, birth and marriage data from all countries. The Habsburg Dynasty owned Basel and neighboring territories. “The growth of the Old Swiss Confederacy began as an alliance between the communities of the valleys in the Central Alps to facilitate the management of common interests such as free trade and to ensure the peace along the important trade routes through the mountains. “In the late Middle Ages, this region belonged to the Holy Roman Empire and because of its strategic importance, the Hohenstaufen emperors had granted it reichsfrei status in the early 13th century. “As reichsfrei regions, the cantons (or regions) of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden were under the direct authority of the Roman emperor without any intermediate liege lords and thus were largely autonomous. “With the rise of the Habsburg dynasty, the kings and dukes of Habsburg sought to extend their influence over this region and to bring it under their rule; as a consequence, a conflict ensued between the Habsburgs and these mountain communities who tried to defend their privileged status as reichsfrei regions. 171

“The 3 founding cantons of the Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, as the confederacy was called, were joined in the early 14th century by the city states of Lucerne, Zürich, and Bern, and they managed to defeat Habsburg armies on several occasions. They also profited from the fact that the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, for most of the 14th century, came from the House of Luxembourg and regarded them as potential useful allies against the rival Habsburgs. “By 1460, the confederates controlled most of the territory south and west of the Rhine to the Alps and the Jura mountains. At the end of the 15th century, two wars resulted in an expansion to 13 cantons (Dreizehn Orte): in the Burgundian Wars of the 1470s, the confederates asserted their hegemony on the western border, and their victory in the Swabian War in 1499 against the forces of the Habsburg emperor Maximilian I ensured ade facto independence from the empire. During their involvement in the Italian Wars, the Swiss brought the Ticino under their control. In conclusion, the surnames Minnix and Mischler, which originated from the same Imperial Reichstag noble surname, when traced back to its origin, have many different spelling variations, because both were selected and then formed from diminutive bits and pieces, which were derived from the lengthy compound surname. Minnix and Mischler were examples of the many surnames which were minimized and merged into one single middle class family surname from the noble compound surname Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz von Löwenberg de Meier. This “Best Evidence” report supports the conclusion that Charles Minnix, Sr., his brother John Minkmeyer, sisters Cathrine and Cisley Minnix were the children of Jacob Ulrich Mischler (OHBS French) who is also listed Jacob Ulrich Minachmyers (OHBS German) and other name variations in following records.  Montgomery, Pennsylvania: Jacob Ulrich Probate Date 15 May 1802  Frederick County, Maryland: Ulrich Messler who died in 1802 left the home about 500 acres now in Carroll County, Maryland to eldest son, John. 172

They may also contain names of young men who were tithable, or taxable, much like a male dependent of a household. Names of recently deceased individuals whose property was still in estate are also listed. There are many clues in tax lists that suggest family relationships that can not be found in the early censuses. Therefore these tax lists can be used as an alternative census for the missing 1790 and 1800 Federal Censuses of Virginia.”  Jacob Ulrich Mischler (French) is the following (German) in Virginia: Jacob Myers Franklin Co 1802 Personal C Minach,

The reader can see from the above the difficulty in this research. There were many Minnickmeyer in Coloinial America and many with the same 174

names, most families of whom began in Switzerland. Casper/Gaspard was one of the common Münch Dynasty names. MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER The conclusion about the origin of the Charles Minnix, Sr. family of Franklin County, Virginia was a “Best Evidence Report” in the 1st publication, Liver I, 2004. Many families in that research were ruled out while the final family was remained questionable. However, the primary records and enormous list of references in that publication are accurate and will assist future researchers with other resources. Please see the references in Liver I. The reader will find them very extensive. Please follow the primary records in the Liber III, this publication, THE MINNIX AND MISCHLER ANCESTORS OF CHARLES MINNIX, SR., FRANKLIN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, BY MICHEAL B. MINIX, SR., M.D., 2017, for the most accurate conclusion, from the original and additional primary records and references, for Jacob Ulrich Mischler I, the grandfather and Jacob Ulrich Mischler II / Minachmyers, the father of Charles Minnix, Sr. Gemealogy researchers should be mindful that Deciphering German and French surnames, that have been corrupted, misspelled both in the homeland and in America and interchanged from German to French languages and back again during migration and then Americanized to boot is similar to deciphering a secret code, particularly when the immigrants don’t want to be found by their former government in the new world, America, as in emigration from Switzerland. Many languages aren’t writtem in the English alphabet or in English characters, but use lines, dots and other marks, like German and Swiss. Researchers must 1st determine from which language the surname, they research, originated; then find surname word books about the symbols and compare surnames. When the immigrant to America spoke both French and German, as the Münnich / Minnix / Mischler family descendants did, particularly the Bernese Swiss, the task is even more difficult, and when Old High Bernese Swiss German and French languages are different from the native countries’ German and French languages, the difficulty intensifies. Researchers must look for anomalies in the surname and determine if the 175 sequence of letters has been shuffled and imagine the letters that have been altered or omitted, like Münich and Müsch, and then start filling-in letters in the surnames, keeping track of the letters. [How to Decipher a Secret Code, Edited by Lil_literalist, KnowItSome, Maniac, Brett and 27 others] “Charles Minnix, Sr.’s grandfather, Jacob Ulrich Mischler I, and father, Jacob Ulrich Mischler II and other family members entered Pennsylvania with variant, diminutive names including Minnix, Mischler, Mayer, Messmer, Mesler, Minachmyers and others. Minnix, from the core name Monachus / Münch / Mönch and Mischler with an abbraeviated letter sequence from the complete compound surname were examples of the many surnames which were minimized and merged into one single word derived from the compound surname: MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER → MISCHLER, MINNIX + other one word surnames. The Minnix surname was a derivation of an original surname Monachus [Latin meaning monk] / Münch / Mönch. The Mischler surname was not an original surname derived from monk directly, an occupation, region of residence, personal characteristic or family characteristic, appearance which typically followed the forename, but an abbreviated letter sequence with missing letters, representing the complete compound surname, MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER, which became the surname Mischler.

For example, unlike Mischler, this reporter’s surname Münnix / Minnix / Minix is derived from the core surname Monachus / Münch / Mönch / Münnich / Mönnich. The abbreviated diminutive letter sequence of this reporter’s complete name, Micheal Bryan Minix, Sr., M.D., is mbmsrmd, as is mischler, which represents the complete compound surname abbreviation, which follows.

Mischler is an abbreviated, diminutive letter sequence, with missing letters, representing the complete compound surname, MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN- MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER, which became a letter sequence permanent surname.

176

The abbreviated, letter sequence surnames evolved from repeated and recurrent larger to smaller letter sequences, because there were so many letters in the imperial noble surname, which formed many of the following letter sequence diminutive surnames: ^Maechlen / Meichlen / Muechlin / Möschberger / Mutzlenberg / Muetzlenberger / Muzenberg / Muzenberg / Mechel / Michler / Mischler / Mishler / Messner / Münch / Muenich etc. depending on the parts for emphasis.

Additionally, Old High German was the language in Basel and both Old High German and Old High French were the bilingual languages in Bern, Switzerland. The Baseldytsch (dialect of Basel) and Bärndütsch (dialect of Bern) were different.

There were hundreds of the MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER derived surnames in the Switzerland indices in the first place. Surnames Muenschmeyer and Muenschberger are additional examples. However, when scanning the abundant records herein and searching for significant letter sequence surnames, the OHB French surname Mischler, was most frequently associated with derivatives from Münschlöwmeyer and Münchlöwberger, both also derived from the complete compound surname.

Most likely the OH Basel Swiss German surname Mechler began-with or was close to beginning with the following births on record and the OH Berrnese Swiss French surname Mischler began-with or was close to beginning with the following birth record:

(Mieschmeyer / Mieschberger ?)

From the U.S. Immigration Collection at Ancestry.com, the majority of Mischler families, before they immigrated to the U.S were living Switzerland (32), Germany (31), France (9), Alsenz (5), Preussen (3), Bavaria (2) from the New York Passengers List.

Konrad VIII (1324-1378), son of Hartmann I Münch von Münchenstein-Muttenz resided in Münchenstein castle in Switzerland.

Konrad VIII (called "Hape") married Katharina von Löwenberg in 1340, the hereditary daughter from Löwenburg Dynasty.

Konrad VIII MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER repaired the 1356 earthquake damages.

Katharina Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenberg died in 1371 and Konrad VIII inherited governance of Muttenz and the 3 fortresses in the district Wartenburg.

Deciphering the unintended encrypted-like surnames derived from the once noble compound surname MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER required:  German and French Münch Dynasty surnames research  contracting several European genealogists  diagnosing shuffled and altered surname letters  filling-in the blanks omitted letters  maitaining continuous membership to ancestry.com, other online sources  traveling to numerous libraries  pouring over consecutive surnames census, births and baptism records visioning the surnames’ transformations during evolutions i.e. Münich and Müsch with a silent –n and Mesmer diminutive, abbreviation of Menschmyer etc.  scanning the plentiful data records herein reported and searching for significant letter sequence surnames  for 20 painstaking years, by this reporter 178

 Ulli Miescher was concluded a descendant of Hans Thüring and then Hans Peter MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER.  Definitive evidence for Hans Thüring descendency is the clue Meyerhans in the 2016 Zurich Telephone book and the clue was carried during migration of Charles Merin / Minnix into 1820 Floyd Co. KY. / Charles Meyerhans.

Hans Thüring Münich fortified St.Arbogast Church (Wehrkirche, a defensive church) in Muttenz, Switzerland during the 15th century.

Hans Thüring was one the 3 sons of Hans Friedrichs Münch von Münchenstein von Löwenberg, who descended from Konrad VIII. Hans Friedrichs Münch von Münchenstein von Löwenberg 3 sons, who continued the lineage in Switzerland and elsewhere, were Thüring, Jakob and Matthias.

Hans Thüring II Münch von Münchenstein von Löwenberg Jakob I Münch von Münchenstein von Löwenberg Matthias II Münch von Münchenstein von Löwenberg

The forenames Thüring, Jakob and Matthias were sometimes surnames in the records.

The author concluded that Jacob Mathias II Mönch von Munchensteiner was the first pioneer of the Minnicks family into the Maryland and Virginia valleys. 74. 127. 171. 356.

The author of this research concluded that Joh. Jacob Matthias and Jacob Matthias Manser sometimes in the records were the same person.

The Mathews family of Frederick Md. descended from Chidley Matthews, survey 25 Aug 1739, and George Mathews, survey 27 May 1741. 442.

Mathias Munch was in the The Lindemuth List II, a list of land patents in Tulpehocken Valley, Pennsylvania soon after 1728. Included among those listed: Matthias Minnich, Tulpehocken Valley, Pennsylvania 169.

The earliest German survey in present day Frederick County, Maryland was by Jacob Mathias Minsher called "Jacob1s Fortune", 10 May 1738.

On Sept. 1, 1740 Johann Jacob Mathias Manser assigned "Jacob's Fortune" to Henry Sinn for management because "Minsher inlisted himself in his Majesty's Service in an expedition against some of the Catholick (Spanish) in the King's Territories in the West Indies".

The War of Jenkins Ear, engaged off the coast of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and in the West Indies. If he did not return the property was to be deeded To Heinrich Sinn. The War was over in 1742. 242.

His return was not found by the author of Pioneers of Old Monocacy. But from the below the author of this research documented his return.

Confirmation was the ceremony recognizing full membership to the Evangelical Reformed German Church in Frederick County, Maryland. Because Jacob Mathias Manser (Munch von MOnchensteiner*) was an early confirmation in the Evangelical Reformed Church, he became a focus of this search

Evangelical Reformed Church German Records, Confirmations: April 11, 1754: Jacob Math. Manser 338.

The Archives of Maryland discussed the benefits of this service by "lnlisting themselves in his Majesty' Service". The bounties for service were numerous. 443.

Jacob Matthias Meenich / Minigh /Manser/ Manshaw / Minsher / Mansser (various spellings) entered North America at Philadelphia the first time in 1732. He departed in 1740 when he enlisted for his majesty's service in the West Indies 180 during the War of Jenkin's Ear. The war was over in 1742. 442.

The author of this research documented his return to Frederick, Maryland with the above confirmation. In 1758 Jacob Matthias Mönchensteiner enlisted in his Majesty's service in the French and Indian War.

Among British Officers serving in America in 1754-1774 Mathew Manger Henry Bouquet Lewis Steiner Rank regiment date Ensign, Lt. Col. Col. Captain 47 23 August 1758 62 3 Jan 1756 19 Feb, 1762 62 10 Dec., 1756 326.

There were many entries for the descendants of Henry Bouquet in the Maryland German Church Records.

Ship: Osgood 28 Sept 1750 Hans Ludwig Stein Hans Ludwig Stein immigrated to North America from Zurich, Switzerland, a soldier for the French and Indian War. Steiner served as Captain under the command of Col. Henry Bousquet. 398. Capt. Lewis Steiner was a British officer in the French and Indian War 1756. 326. Col. Henry Bousquet from Switzerland, entered the English service in 1754 and organized the artillery and engineers corp. of the Royal America Regiment, during the French and Indian War. Bernese (from Bern, Switzerland) officers led soldiers in Savoy, Jamaica and the West Indies and the French and Indian War.

The Swiss who were very much sought after as mercenary soldiers showed no great desire to sell themselves however for service on the other side of the ocean. When Foreign Service wanted the Swiss they had to reckon with the Swiss inlander's distrust of the sea. 398.

The author concluded that the Munchensteiner family was engaged in 181 wagonnering and trade simultaneously in Europe and North America.

Again, in order, military presence, undisturbed commerce, and spread of Christianity, similar to the German Hanse, appeared to be the modus operandi of early German and Swiss immigrants.

Jacob Matheus was described as a wagonner and delivered in 1747 donated church objects to the Monocacy Lutheran Congregation. 338.

The author was careful not confuse Jacob Matthias Meenich with Jacob Mathews of Frerderick County, Maryland who arrived in Frederick County later. Sometimes it was impossible.

References have his name spelled several with different graphemic forms. He was believed to have land in both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Jacob Matthias Meenich / Minigh /Manser/ Manshaw / Minsher / Mansser / Mishter entered North America at Philadelphia the first time in 1732. He was unmarried when he arrived. 442.

The line between Maryland and Pennsylvania was supposed to be the 40th parallel. Its location was at first disputed. Early settlers in the Canadochly area west of the Susquehanna River were in jeopardy for their rights to land title. Border Disputes erupted.

Jacob Mansher was one along with Thomas Cresap and Michael Reisner in 1734 who were taken to jail in Philadelphia after one such dispute. They were soon released and moved further west. Old Monocacy, Maryland was the destination. Jacob Matthias Manser's survey was the first German survey in the Monocacy Valley. Jacob Matthias Manser's survey was called Jacob's Fortune, 240 acres, May 10, 1738. His Frederick County, Maryland land was adjacent to Lewistown below Creagerstown. The German Monocacy Road passed thru the southern corner of his Jacob's Fortune. 442.

His survey was near present day Catoctin furnace at the foot of Kittoktin Mountain. He departed in 1740 when he enlisted for his Majesty's service in the West Indies during the War of Jenkin's Ear. The war was over in 1742. 182

The process utilized in Münch Dynasty descendants research was a method of Data Mining Genealogical Spreadsheets For Diminutive Surnames searching for informative, analytical, letter sequences with patterns and trends, which were adopted for abbreviated, diminutive surnames, which were derived from the noble compound surname: MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER, when The Münich Dynasty Imperial Reichstag collapsed and nobility in the newly formed Swiss Confederation became unlawful. During the first half of the 15th century, The Münichs Dynasty began to collapse. The Münch (pronounced Menicks / Menix) Dynasty diaspora began secondary to the 3 major events described on page 10 and other minor events.

Minnig / Münnix / others 3. and Basel Swiss German Münchler and Bernese Swiss French Mueschler / Meeschler / Mischler / Mishler / Messler / many others from the compound noble alliance surname: MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER

a. formed from abbreviated dimenutive letter sequences, or a chain of abbreviated letters, with missing letters derived from the complete compound surname above. These double surnames are "alliance names" (Allianznamen), sometimes attached in whole by hyphens and sometimes multibarrelled whole "name chains" surnames.

b. For example, "Losantiville" settlement, founded in 1788 was the first name for Cincinnati, Ohio. The original surveyor, John Filson, named it from 4 terms, each of different language. It means "The city opposite the mouth of the (Licking) River", "ville" is French for "city", "anti" is Greek for "opposite", "os" is Latin for "mouth", and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River". [History of Cincinnati, Ohio]

c. Or from the Swiss suffixes -ler and -lerin which are usually attached to nouns and designate a person with a particular function.

d. Original family functions of family descendants were administrative aristicrats of the Habsburg Dynasty, Bishops of Basel, mercenary soldiers, governors, lords and civil servants of the MüNCH VON MüNCHENSTEIN-MUTTENZ VON LöWENBERG DE MEIER Reichstag, and then civil servants of the Swiss Confederation after nobility loss 4. and other surnames 5. Descendants then spread far and wide to every continent 187
