Descendants of Michael0 Remus

 

Generation No. 1

1. MICHAEL01 REMUS was born Bef. 1698 in (see note), and died Bef. 1752 in (see note)1. He married WIFE OF MICHAEL0 REMUS Bef. 1718. She was born Bef. 1708.

Notes for MICHAEL0 REMUS:

Two of the three records of this early Michael Remus use the Christian name Michael except one. The Prechlau Birth Records for August 30, 1778 for the birth of Franz Trehn and Elisabeth Remus' daughter Anna Christina Trehn uses Christian name Johan. So was this a mistake? Or does it mean this Johan Michael is also the Johan Remus who sold the mill at Bergelau in 1720? If so it simplifies this genealogy a lot.

 

Michael from Pollnitz

The earliest appearance of a Michael Remus is in 1737 when he combines three undeveloped farmsteads in Pollnitz, Kreis Schlochau into one named Kolmergut (DKF) (Kolm is loam (good farming soil) so Kolmer is farmer with good land, gut is estate - so Kolmergut is a farmer's estate). So this Michael seemed to have money and also influence with the Polish noble who was the landowner in order to do this. And he must have been at least in his mid twenties placing his birth date in 1705 or before. Having land, he would have been likely married and have had children. This would make him contemporary to Johan Remus of Lanken or Martin Remus of Schwente.

The Kolmergut privileg of Michael Remus provided free wood from the estate for the hearth and gave the right to employ at least 2 Gärner to fish in the surrounding lakes and hold sheep (DKS by Blanke, p. 516). The usual West Prussia farmer did not have such rights.

According to DKS by Blanke we also find the nearby sale of an important mill in 1730 in Bergelau (actually Rogonitza which is between Pollnitz and Bergelau) owned by Johan Remus. This may have occurred upon Johan's death but even if not, this might have provided the income necessary for Michael to buy the land above and operate a mill in Pollnitz if Michael was indeed Johan's son.

The July 7th 1743 Marriage Record record of his daughter Dorothea says that the above Michael is deceased. His son Michael Remus and wife Elisabeth took over the property. By the 1772 Census Michael and Elisabeth had moved on to Okiersk in Kreis Tuchel with some of their younger children.

(p. 516), in 1781 the Kolmergut was bought by Jacob Prochowski of Pollnitz, on Prochowski's death Kolmergut came into the possession of Johan Natz, who Prochowski's widow had married.
