Artzer/ArzerFN{Philipp Anton}: arrived in Russia 8 Aug 1766 with wife {A.Margaretha} and 4 children, he said to be from Schwabbrueck (Kulberg3324). Darrell Brungardt guesses that the family earlier came fromUC Swtizerland but reported that a transcription of Wiesbach church records said this man came fromUC Volkersweiler while his first marriage and children’s births were in Winterbach. However, using LDS film #489413 and 247677, Brent Mai found that Artzer first married Goette{M.Catharina} on 26 February 1743 in Wiesbach where several of their children were born and after his first wife died, he second married Brungard{M.Margaretha} 27 October 1761also in Wiesbach although several of their children were born in Contwig. The Seewald FSL (#33) said he was a widower fromUC Stambach, Zweibruechen. Winterbach is some 3 miles N, Wiesbach some 5 miles N, Volkerswiler some 21 km ESE, and Contwig some 2.5 km E, of Stambach. Darrell believes that more records should be in Homburg which is some 5 miles NNW of Stambach.

Bonner also proved this home to four Meissenger siblings one of whom had married a Lang husband, another a Herdt husband, and a third a Geis husband (Messer FSL #57, 57a, 58, 59). Bonner found that their Buedingen marriage record said the Lutz wife in the Pinecker couple that went to Moor was fromUC here, and he proved this home to the Gerlach family, and where the Sorberger children were baptized, who also went to Moor.
