A Short History of The Martin and Zabel FamiliesEighteen Sixties to Eighteen Ninety
Rudolph Vernon Mangels25 of February, 1993
• Our forbearers, Gustav Ferdinand Zabel, born the eighteenth of November Eighteen Sixty Six, in the province of West Prussia, and Augusta Louise Martin, born the Twenty-third of August Eighteen Sixty Eight in the province of Posen, were nearly neighbors they lived only one hundred twenty miles apart when Augusta was born. It took a journey of more than four thousand miles for these two people to meet and marry. Grandfather Gustav, came to America in 1883, and it is said he met or traveled with Grandmother Augusta’s, older brother Ludwig, and settled in new York. In March the very next year Grandmother with her mother and father left Bremen Germany for New York arriving thirty days later. Her parents continued on and settled in Minnesota, while their young, beautiful, daughter of sixteen stayed in New York with her sister, Wilhelmine, for the next six years. At some time during her stay in New York, Grandmother met the young dashing, “Herr” Gustav Zabel, maybe through her brother Ludwig, or possibility at church on the upper east side, where it is shown she lived. The story gets more complicated, because Grandfather’s sister, Wilhelmine, in the spring of 1890, steamed across the ocean, and went directly to Minnesota where she married Grandmother’s brother, Ludwig Martin, on the 29th of May, 1890. Wilehmine Zabel was 27 at the time, and it is not known whether they had known each other previously in Germany. It is assumed that Grandfather and Grandmother went along to the wedding in Minnesota and got so caught up in it all that they decided to get married, and did so the 9th of November 1890 at Elmore Minnesota. That’s not the end of the this story, but really the beginning of another because the immediately started to have children, 12 in all, which is why we’re all here today.
• The search for our ancestors has stopped on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, and as now we can just speculate as to where the parents of our Grandparent’s came from. We know that Grandfather was born in Nikolausdorf, West Prussia, and Grandmother in Lupeschewon, near the town of Ritschenwalde, in the province of Posen. Both of these towns were influenced by events during the reign of Frederick William the first, and his son, Frederick the Great. Frederick William the first, “King in Russia”, assumed the reign of Prussia from his father, Frederick first, after his death in 1713. East Prussia had just experienced a plague, 1710, which wiped out between 1/3 and ½ of the population. Being a good administrator, he took many opportunities to bring in colonists to east Russia. In 1731, when protestants were being persecuted in Salzburg, he brought the whole group to East Prussia, built towns for them, and allowed them their religious freedom. Frederick the Great, his son, learned from his father and applied these lessons, when his reign began in 1740, With the first partition of Poland, in 1772, Russia and Austria took parts of Poland and Prussia was given the land that became West Prussia. One of the very first acts of Frederick the Great, was to build the Bromberg canal, connecting the Brahe and Netze Rivers, which gave access from the Baltic Sea, in East Prussia, all the way to the Elbe river, in the western part of the empire. As many as 300,000 colonists were convinced to move to Prussia, during the reign of Frederick the Great, to help with massive projects. As an example weavers were given free looms, along with the offer of a job there were some financial incentives as well as religious freedoms. In addition to the canal, dams were built to help reclaim upward of 25,000 previously flooded acres, of land. A silk industry was started by using the mulberry trees. No expense was spared to bring in craftsman whose skills were needed but unavailable in the local population. Not included in the numbers of colonists, were 80 - 90 thousand foreign army troops, who decided to stay rather that return to their homeland.
A Short History of The Martin and Zabel FamiliesEighteen Sixties to Eighteen Ninety
Rudolph Vernon Mangels25 of February, 1993
• This short history gives just a little insight into our ancestors. We have many clues yet to follow, and facts waiting to be found. With ach new fact comes a clearer picture as to who our ancestors were and where they came from. Come, join in the search, there are still many things to be discovered.
• Rudolf Vernon Mangels• 25, February, 1993
• Posen came to Prussia in the second partition, 1793, and the third partition, 1795, again Russia and Austria did the dividing giving Russia, Posen. Poland ceased to exist at this time and shortly there after Napoleon the first conquered Prussia. In the second “Peace of Paris (1815), after the defeat of France, Posen or South Prussia as it was called, became part of Prussia again. The people were still living in mud huts and plowing the land with wooden ploys. The land was not up to the standards of either , East Prussia or West Prussia. The king, Frederick William the Second, had no concern for the land, unlike his predecessors, and ended up deeding most of it away to some of his faithful followers.
• The locations of the towns, from which our relatives came, makes for speculation that they were wither colonist, part of military troops who didn’t return home, or Poles. Both towns are located near the Bromberg Canal, and close to the rivers, Netze, Brahe, and Vistual, where many labors were needed during this time in Prussian history.
• The reasons why they left Prussia aren’t that hard to answer. There was the war in 1870 with France, in which thousands upon thousands of men were killed. Any of whom came from this part of Prussia. It is thought that Christopher John Martin, Grandmother’s Father, fought in that was even though he would have been 40 years old. The Germans were out numbered by the Poles and resentment was building. This period of time was the start of A great German exodus, from the resent acquired territories, in the Eastern part of the kingdom. Also some of our people had already gone to America and had been sending back reports of, cheap land and other benefits such as freedom. Grandmothers father was 59 years old when he came to America, in the spring of 1884, but his older brother, Gottlieb, preceded him by more than 4 years. Two of Grandmother’s brothers, perhaps stepbrothers, August and Julius, may have come to America as early as 1868.
