Research on the Esphorst Farm Karen Radel translations Letter from Wilhelm Krüggeler in Paderborn to KR on September 2, 2007 Dear Mrs. Radel, The history of your ancestry is extremely complex and interesting. That is why it took substantially more than 400 Euro of my time. But everything is all right now. I have put together a family tree as well as a list of all marriage entries found in the Church records. It would actually be better to write a narrative report; otherwise an uninitiated reader would never be able to figure this out. The records transcribed are connected with the estate farms of Esphorst and Österwiemann. I will only provide the dates for your St. Vit ancestors. All of these lines could still be developed through extensive research. The ancestors in Rietberg County could be traced back to about 1550. In the meantime, I have had the original records transported from the Esphorst estate farm by Alverdissen to Detmold. If you have time and are interested, you can inquire in the state archive there under my name regarding the file "Esphorst, Moese, vol. 1, page 28. On page 87 you will find how your ancestor Caspar Esphorst was contractually separated from that estate farm; he signed his own signature. With best regards and lots of fun in Germany-the land of your ancestors. To the Brockschneider family: thanks for forwarding the documents and give my best to our friends in Rietberg. ? Documentation from the archive of the counts of Rietberg found in the Münster State Archive for the Esphorst family, the owners of the hereditary estate farm with full rights-number 44 in Moese. Compiled by Wilhelm Krüggeler in Paderborn for Karen Radel, 2 Ashley Court, St. Charles, Missouri. Dated August 20, 2007. September 19, 1794, minutes of the chamber court, file 404, page 289 Marginal notation: Esphorst in Moese, full heirs Widower et improlis farm owner Mr. Esphorst married Elisabeth Suthuis from the Wiedenbrück community. The bride is from a family with hereditary rights under the noble house and church of/at Herzebrock. She presented from her feudal overlord not only a certificate of release issued at Herzebrock on September 16 of the current year, but also a permission to marry issued on the same day. According to that document the following items were authorized for her dowry coming from the Suthues farm: 40 Reichsthaler in coin that must be paid within three years, four cows, one horse, one foal, one ceremonial dress, and one typical bridal carriage. Because not all of these items are available at the Esphorst farm, the bride's brother, farm-owner Bührmann, paid the groom 80 Reichstaler in the clerk's office and also 79 Reichstaler 8 Groschen in coin. May 13, 1769, minutes of the chamber court, file 401, page 190 Marginal notation: Esphorst The widow of the owner of the Esphorst farm improlis married (for the second time) Johann gerd Österwiemann. The owner of the Österwiemann farm is to pay the groom (a step-son) 30 Reichstaler as a dowry annually on St. Martin's Day consisting, as well as 10 Reichstaler, one horse, 1 foal, two cows, two bulls, one ceremonial dress and a typical bridal carriage. Because the immediate delivery of the last two has been promised, the groom has promised on this day to pay from his own resources an additional sum of 60 Reichstaler to complete his obligations. 1747, settlement contracts, spring court session, bill of sale in Mastholte and Moese, file 2522, page 75. Anna Margaretha Schwale, a daughter of Schwalen, the owner of a farm in Bokel will move onto the farm owned by the Esphorsts and marry Mr. Esphorst. Because both farms are rather small, with the Esphorst farm having some swamp land that is in very poor condition, but is currently being treated by the owner, the bill of sale was negotiated at 60 Reichstaler. 1730, settlement contracts, spring court session, bills of sale in Moese, file 2496, page 74 of the old book Anna Christina Surman from the Langenberg community will move to the Esphorst farm that is indebted under the stipulation a bill of sale be issued to the amount of 40 Reichstaler.

I, page 28 1 I, Töniess Esphorst, am the owner of the home on the estate farm of Essphorst (with full hereditary rights) and have been such for about 21 years. 2 The estate farm consists of 3 ½ [units] of bottom land, where it is almost impossible to have good rye crop; also garden land measuring 3 [units] where I can harvest about 4 [measures] of hay annually; 15 [units] of forest were swine can be raised and perhaps 15 fatted annually; approximately 6 [measures] of other wooded land that is the source of firewood; no fish products. 3 There is also approximately 10 [measures] of additional land on our farm used for various other purposes. 4 I pay one Reichstaler annually for fall leases and 2 Reichstaler for spring leases, 2 Reichstaler for servant wages, a total of 18 Reichstaler for leases, 12 Reichstaler for wages for new servants, 8 Reichstaler for treasures [?], 8 Reichstaler for unskilled labor wages, 1 Reichstaler and 4 Groschen for marriage expenses, 1 ß [unit], 6 Groschen for salt, 4 Groschen for sewing, 4 Groschen for a steer, and one fatted pig. 5 I paid to bury my sister's son Johann two years ago. I had paid 43 ½ Thaler for a release certificate. I still owe 50 Reichstaler for his dowry. I am the father of the six children born to my wife and none of them are married yet. 6 None of our property from our inheritance has been disposed yet. I owe 15 Reichstaler to Rickmeyer's son Henrich; I borrowed that from him two years ago and I pay him 1 Lippe [unit] of oats annually for that. I also borrowed 10 Reichstaler from Adrian and Vogt two years ago. And I pay him/them one [unit] of oats annually. And I owe the church 10 Reichstaler and I pay them 18 Groschen annually. 7 I have no other liabilities.

The spelling is at times quite arbitrary and I have standardized some terms in order to make them more legible. Most of the fees were paid in Reichstaler (Rtlr.), Schilling (ß), Mariengroschen (Mrg. or Gr.), and Pfennigen (Pf.). In 1765, the bills of sale, death settlements, currency exchanges and release certificates within the county of Rietberg were converted into permanent settlements. That is why such entries disappear and are replaced by court minutes and marriage contracts. Beginning in 1765, the bills of sale and the death settlements only exist in the cases of estate farms beyond the boundaries of the county. A family history or a farm history can be compiled back to about 1550 from the extensive documentation in the Rietberg County archive. An examination of the following documents would be valuable for the compilation of a family history. These documents would be most valuable to describe the daily life on these farms: Court minutes (featuring mostly civil disputes) are preserved since about 1660 Sendbrüchten: these tell of "carnal transgressions" that were heard before a church court Brüchtenprotokolle: these describe the penalties; they begin in 1557 Baumbrüchten, Krebsbrüchten, Krebsfangen: unauthorized felling of trees Zuschläge: information regarding land acquisitions Construction permits: the count issued these for construction of new homes Sales of houses that would be [taken down and] re-assembled elsewhere Count's expenses: what the count paid to craftsmen, employees, etc. Retirement documents: instructions for persons going into retirement Military enlistment papers Loan contracts Church seating assignments Border disputes Witness depositions: these sometimes feature information about the ages of the parties, their familial relationships, etc. Weather reports, such as hail storms, droughts, fires, etc. The land records from the Prussian era can be studied; they provide precise information about real estate, duties paid, property transfers; those records began in 1815. These are generally the most detailed files about specific families at specific estate farms. For other record source, consult my publication "Estate farm and family history research in the former county of Rietberg. [references to additional German-language literature on this topic] ? Compilation of marriage contracts, bills of sales, death reports, release certificates, and currency exchanges found in the archive of the counts of Rietberg in the Münster State Archive regarding the hereditary family of Österwiemann (heirs of one-half rights) at Estate Farm no. 6 in Bokel Compiled by Wilhelm Krüggeler in Paderborn for Karen Radel, 2 Ashley Court, St. Charles, Missouri, USA.
