Kielpin, Kreis Tuchel,
West Prussia
Kielpin was the home of the large Johan Remus
and Susanne Abram family including their sons Friedrich Wilhelm Remus and David Remus. Click
here for this large family. Johan
headed family 2, Friedrich Wilhelm headed family 5 and David headed family 7.
These brothers married sisters Anna Catherine Wiese and Luise
Wiese respectively. They produced many children (and grandchildren). Friedrich
Wilhelm Remus lived in Kielpin
and many of his children migrated to Kansas in America. David Remus lived in Lossiny and his children stayed in the area. Johan's father
Johan and mother Anna Marie Halweg lived in Okiersk. Johan and Susanna lived in Wimislaw (Neuhof) in their later
life (a village which was really part of Kielpin).
Kielpin was a manorial village but the manor was outside the main village and may in fact have been
in Wimislaw
(Johan Remus (husband of Susanna Abram) was the guts besitzer (lived in the manorial estate house) in Wimislaw). The villages appear to be situated in good
farmland just north of Tuchel.
