Subate is located in Selonia, the eastern part of the Zemgale region, 40 km west of Daugavpils. In 1570 Gotthard Kettler, the first Duke of Courland and Semigallia, granted the Baltic German Plater family, the dominant nobles throughout southeastern Latvia, an estate at the lake of Subate, and Alt-Subbath (Old Subbath) was established. After the Counter-Reformation, the Plater-Sybergs (Polish: Plater-Zyberk) converted to Catholicism, founding a mission with the intention of converting their serfs, and the Lutherans moved across the lake in protest, creating Neu-Subbath (New Subbath); the two towns were joined in 1894. By the late 19th century Jews composed about half of the population, and in 1914 there were ca. 2300 inhabitants. The town traded primarily in Lithuanian flax, but this trade languished after World War I. Almost all of Subate's Jews were brutally murdered in the Stahlecker phase of the Holocaust in 1941.

The following are partial transcriptions from a lengthy biography entitled: "Sketches from my Life Especially of my Youth. By Isidorus Brennsohn, M.D." See the notes for Isidorus in this database for a full transcription of the 138 page manuscript as provided to me by Nina Kossman, a descendant of Brennsohn. The following excerpt gives information on the birth and death of Isidorus' son Edgar: "I returned to Mitau and after some consideration decided to accept a parish post in Subbath in Kurland... A few months later, on 12 May 1883, our wedding took place in Mitau... We traveled back to Subbath on May 16... The year 1883 ended uneventfully for us. February 1884, however, brought the birth of our oldest child, a boy, whom we named Edgar. I wasn't fond of the ancient ritual of circumcision (circumcisio), which does have some hygienic advantages, but I allowed it to be done. The boy thrived on his mother's milk and grew big and strong. In June we took our child to Dubbeln at the Riga beach, to spend the summer with parents... It was clear that I could no longer practice in the country. Moreover, something happened that totally changed our family situation-the sudden death of my father-in-law in July of that same summer. At the end of August 1884 I traveled to Subbath to dissolve our household and say goodbye to my patients. Three years of my young life I had spent in this remote corner of Kurland... With the move to Mitau I started the second period of my life... Shortly after my settling there I began to take an interest in orthopedics. Next, in the late summer of 1886, my wife and I traveled to lovely Kösen in Thüringen, to find in the quiet and solitude of the forest some easing of the grief over the loss of our oldest child..." | Brenson, Edgar (I3158)

Website http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/ashe/deeds/deedsabs.txt accessed 22 Dec 2008: "Ashe County, NC - Deeds - Abstracts of selected deeds" has both Michael Stoker and Luke White as witnesses placing Luke White in Ashe County in 1805: "Younce, John TO: Black, Frederick 155 a. Signed: 1805-01-01 Situate South Fork New River/Beg. at Branch on S. Fork. Book: B, 255 Witness: Michael Storker, Luke White." 2. LDS Nauvoo records show a baptism for the dead done in 1841 for Luke White by Mary/Polly Stoker Graybill. His wife Elizabeth Dick Eller White had the same ordinance done by Polly's mother Catherine Eller Stoker. These baptisms were probably done in the Mississippi River prior to the policy change that such ordinances could only be done in the soon to be dedicated Nauvoo temple. Additionally these early baptisms were indiscriminately done by anyone of any gender rather than same gender as currently done. The individuals had to be deceased to have this LDS ordinance done in their behalf, which confirms a death date prior to 1841. 3.

Several family researchers indicate Luke White is probably the father of Catherine, but it is not proven. Please note that Catherine does in fact name one of her sons Luke, which may be more than coincidence. If this is true and judging from Catherine's age, Luke would have had to be married before he married Peter Eller's widow, Elizabeth Dick, after Peter's death in 1799. Some speculate that this first marriage may have been to Elizabeth Yokely, but I have not seen any documentation for this yet. | White, Luke (I300)

Mary Sophia born March 6, 1777, daughter of Barbara and Elie Williams Nephews: Johann Michael born March 31, 1779 and Eli born January 17, 1776, sons of Mary and William Beatty John son of Peter Grosh Military Service: 2nd Lt. Michael Grosh enlisted in the Continental Army by November 29, 1775 when he first appears with Captain Haass' Company of the 1st Battalion. Also served with Colonel Baker Johnson's 4th Battalion. Biographical Notes: Michael Grosh was the first American-born child to John Conrad and Maria Sophia Grosh of Mayence, Germany. In 1777, he became the first in the family to die in America. Michael Grosh, his two brothers Peter and Adam, and father Conrad, were early supporters of the patriot movement. Both Peter and Conrad gave money in support of the local militia. By September 1775, all three brothers joined the Frederick Militia, while Conrad served on the Committee of Observation for the Middle District of Frederick County. By the end of 1775, all appeared in the Journal of the Committee of Observation of the Middle District of Frederick as Assoicators to the Oath of Fidelity. A definitive enlistment date for Michael Grosh has not been determined, but by November 29, 1775, he was serving as a 2nd lieutenant in Captain John Haas's Company. Before the war on March 3, 1772, Michael and wife Christiana sponsored the baptism of Johann Haas' son, Johannes. Kinship ties ran deep in the local militia. Though Michael never served alongside a member of his immediate family, he knew many of the men in his company from the Frederick Evangelical Lutheran and Monocacy Lutheran Congregations, and from friendships and a business associates in Frederick. Later in his military career, he served under his sister's brother-in-law Charles Beatty and Frederick resident Baker Johnson, brother of Maryland's first governor Thomas Johnson. After he was killed at the Battle of Germantown, Lt. Christian Weaver notified the family of Michael's death with a signed certificate from his command. Lt. Weaver began his career in Capt. Charles Beatty's Company of the Frederick County Militia. In more peaceful times, Michael Grosh was probably a shoemaker as his inventory lists large quantities and varieties of sole and upper leather. Grosh's inventory lists many hides, tools, and stores of leather. Bernard Steiner's Western Maryland in the Revolution quotes British officer J.D.F. Smyth's description of the Frederick Committee of Observation. Smyth, a tory, states that after he was taken prisoner, he was "dragged before a committee consisting of a tailor, a leather breeches maker, a shoemaker, … the majority were Germans." When 2nd Lt. Michael Grosh died intestate at the Battle Germantown, he left behind his wife, Christiana, and two young children, Sophia and Charlotte. The young couple's extended families came to their aid until Christiana remarried; and even after that Michael's father, Conrad, made certain Sophia and Charlotte received their due inheritance. In a case heard before the Frederick County Orphans Court on August 12, 1778, Peter Grosh applied for a pension on behalf of Christiana Grosh stating that Lt. Christian Weaver notified the family of Michael's death with a signed certificate. John Beatty and Peter Mantz testified via certificate that the widow lived in Frederick and had two small children. Christiana was granted a £5 per month pension for the period of Oct. 18, 1777 - Oct. 18 1778. Several years later on June 8, 1783, Michael Roemer (sic.?) re-applied on behalf of the Grosh children and received £300 for their support for the period Oct. 18, 1778 - Oct. 15, 1783. Michael Roemer was either Christiana's father or brother. Christiana married Mathias Buckey on or about April 22, 1780, and had two more children, Michael and Jacob Buckey. Michael's final legacy to his children likely came with his father's death c. 1790. John Conrad Grosh provided for his son's children in his will dated November 4, 1786." 2. Website https://historiograffiti.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/the-battle-of-germantown-and-the-grosh-family/ accessed 26 Apr 2015: "The Battle of Germantown and the Grosh Family. In late September, 1777, the Continental Army was headquartered near Pennypacker's Mill in Pennsylvania, located some thirty miles northwest of Philadelphia. The Commander-in-Chief of the American army, General George Washington, in council with his subordinate commanders on September 29, was spoiling for a fight. Two-and-a-half weeks earlier, on September 11, the British army, commanded by General Sir William Howe, had beaten the Americans along the banks of the Brandywine Creek. But it was the American leadership, not the soldiers, who failed at Brandywine. Now, as the calendar turned from September to October, Washington was looking for another chance at the British and to save Philadelphia. Morale within the ranks of the Continentals was good, despite the defeat at Brandywine. "Notwhithstanding the misfortune of the day," wrote Washington, "I am happy to find the troops in good spirits."[1] One American captain from Delaware noted: "I saw not a dispairing look, nor did I head a dispairing word. We had our solacing words already for each other – ‘ Come, boys, we shall do better another time' – was sounded throughout our little army."[2] That time would come on October 4. "Having received intelligence" that Howe had divided his forces, sending General Lord Cornwallis with several battalions to Philadelphia , and another three thousand troops to Elkton, Maryland, to secure the British supply line from the top of the Chesapeake Bay, Washington thought the moment was right to strike Howe's force of "probably not more than 9,000 men" at the hamlet of Germantown. Re-enforced by Continentals from Peekskill, and militia from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, Washington convened his second council of war of the week sometime between September 29 and October 3, where this time his general officers were "unanimously of opinion that a favorable opportunity offered to make an attack upon the troops which were at and near Germantown."[3] Like all battles, the impact of the battle of Germantown would reverberate well beyond the field upon which it was fought. Some 120 miles to the southwest, near Frederick, Maryland, John Conrad and Maria Grosh must certainly have been thinking of their sons on October 4, 1777. The youngest of their six children, Adam Grosh, was twenty-three. He had joined the army at the outbreak of the war, serving in the Frederick County Militia and the Maryland Flying Camp, then remaining with the Maryland Line as a regular officer in the Continental Army. He would resign as a Major in 1780, but at Germantown, Adam was a Captain in the Maryland 7th Regiment.[4] Michael Grosh was five years older than his bother Adam. He was a middle child – the fourth overall in birth order, and the second of Conrad and Maria's three sons. Michael was also the first member of his family to be born in America, the Grosh family having emigrated from Mainz, Germany, sometime after 1745. Like many Germans arriving in Maryland in the mid-eighteenth century, the Grosh family settled in the vicinity of Frederick Town in the western part of the province. Michael is thought to have been a shoemaker by trade, based upon the inventory list made upon his death. In 1770 he married the former Christiana Roemer and had two daughters, Sophia and Charlotte. All the Grosh men were supporters of the War for Independence. Conrad and his eldest son, Peter, gave money to the local militia in 1775. Conrad served on the Committee of Observation for the Middle District of Frederick County, and all three of his sons served in the militia, but, as noted above, Adam went on to serve in the regular army as well. This is consistent with the findings of John Resch in his book, Suffering Soldiers, in which he explains how families contributed to the war effort by sending younger sons or by "rotating" the burden of soldiering between fathers and various sons. Resch's study of the war-time activities of the citizens of Petersboro, New Hampshire, also shows how participation in the war increased or decreased according to the proximity of the events and campaigns. In the case of the Grosh family, Adam, being the youngest son and unmarried, was more naturally drawn to the active life of a full-time soldier, while his brothers mobilized with the militia as crisis dictated.[5] The continuing campaign around Philadelphia in 1777 constituted just such a crisis for the Americans. Following the defeat at Brandywine, Washington dispatched Brigadier General William Smallwood and Colonel Mordecai Gist to their native Maryland to raise the militia. By late September, Smallwood had returned with about one thousand men, which included the Maryland 34th Battalion of Militia from Frederick County and with it Second Lieutenant Michael Grosh. The plan of attack on October 4 was to divide the American army into four columns to approach Germantown from the four main roads leading there – Manatawney or Ridge Road, Skippack Road, Limekiln Road, and Old York Road – and engage the British in a classic double-envelopment (a la the great Carthaginian general Hannibal). It was an aggressive and complex plan, and, as noted by historian Christopher Ward in his The War of the Revolution, a flawed plan, for Washington was relying upon the militia to serve as the "crushing pincer jaws of the maneuver – Pennsylvania militia under Armstrong on the right (Manatawney Road) and Maryland and New Jersey militia under Smallwood on the left (Old York Road). Added to the complexity of the attack was the hilly terrain and thick fog, both conditions stymied communication between, and within, the American columns. As a result, coordination broke down from the very onset of the attack.[6] Captain Adam Grosh and the Maryland Continentals were with General John Sullivan's column, which moved down the Skippack Road, attacking the British center in Germantown. But in the fog and confusion, two of his divisions – Wayne's and Stephen's – ended up firing upon one another. These two divisions broke and fled in the chaos, leaving Sullivan's own division without support. Running low on ammunition, engaged by the enemy on the front and both flanks, Sullivan's remaining troops also fled when, upon hearing firing taking place at a stone house to their rear, though themselves surrounded. Sullivan's withdrawl would leave General Nathaniel Green's column, approaching from the Limekiln Road, unsupported as well. Now facing the British right as well as the troops from the center who had been engaged with Sullivan, Green was forced to retreat as well. Soon the entire American force was in full retreat "men holding up their empty cartridge boxes to show [Washington] why they ran."[7] As for the two columns of militia forming the "jaws of the pincers," neither had an impact. Armstrong's Pennsylvanians were engaged by Hessians at the bridge at Vendeering's Mill, far from the main battle. As for Smallwood and the force of Maryland and New Jersey militia, they became lost en route and arrived "too late for it to do anything but join in the retreat."[8] The result for Washington was yet another defeat. Philadelphia was lost to the British. Yet the little American army was showing that it could hold its own against the most powerful military on earth. All was not dark. In upstate New York, at Saratoga, Horatio Gates, Benedict Arnold, Daniel Morgan and their combined force of Continentals and militia captured the entire army of General John Burgoyne. The French court had decided, at last, that overt support of the Americans was in their interest. Money, weapons, troops, and naval support from the French would start flowing in earnest to the former colonies. Philadelphia, for Howe, proved to be a very hollow victory. As Ward points out, the campaign to capture Philadelphia, "from its beginning…had been a sheer waste of time, of money, and of men." Thus, Sir William resigned his command and handed the responsibility for subduing the rebels to General Sir Henry Clinton, whose orders also included evacuating the American "capital" and returning to New York as the base for British operations. The result for the Grosh family was more personal and much more heart wrenching. A friend of the family, Lieutenant Christian Weaver notified the family that Michael had been killed. In 1778, Peter Grosh went before the Frederick County Orphans Court on behalf of his widowed sister-in-law to apply for a pension. The notes from the court state that Michael Grosh, "second lieutenant under the command of Colonel Baker Johnson, died at the battle of German Town." The question is how? Since he was part of the Maryland Militia, he would have been with General Smallwood's column on October 4, and we know Smallwood never made it to the battlefield in time to join the attack. Perhaps Michael has been detached to one of the Maryland Line units under Sullivan. Was he with his younger brother? Adam survived the battle and would serve for another three years. One thinks that if he had known, Adam would have notified the family, not Christian Weaver. More likely, Michel was killed in the action covering the American retreat, but more research is necessary. What is certain is that just as he had been the first member of his family born in America, Michael Grosh was the first to die in America.

Tracey and John P. Dern (1998; Clearfield Publishing), pp. 378-380, is found the "Frederick County Muster Rolls, circa 1757." Four muster rolls are shown but only the second one was actually dated (Aug. 13, 1757). They may have been separate musters and not all at the same date since the dates for the other musters are unknown. They are sourced as being from the transcripts printed in the "Maryland Historical Magazine," 9:260-280, 348-370. Days of service are indicated for the Captain of each Company, but actual days served by each individual are included in the source manuscript. A brief summary of the rolls: a. Captain Peter Butler, 34 days' service, 135 total men. Interesting names include: - Ensign Conrad Grosch. Father-in-law to one of Joh. Michael Roemer's daughter Christina. - Valentine Adams. Possibly a relation to Anna Maria Adams, Joh. Michael Stocker's third wife. - Charles and George Beatty. Possible relations to James Edward Beatty who married Elizabeth Roemer. - Adam Combe, The same name as Johan Michael Roemer's slave; if the same man, not sure why he is without Michael unless Michael sent him as his contribution. - Philip Coonce. A possible relation to the Koons who later marry into our Eller and Stocker families. b. Captain Elias Delashmutt, Aug. 13, 1757, 52 days service, 37 men. c. Captain Stephan Ransberger, 42 days service, 80 men. Interesting names include: - Lieut. Michael Raymer. Our ancestor Joh. Michael Roemer with a common variant spelling. - George Peter Dick. Contemporary of our Joh. Conrad Dick of unknown relationship if any. - Henry Coonce and William Coonce. Possible relations to the Koons who later marry into our Eller and Stocker families. - Henry Fout, Jacob Fout, Balser Fout, and George Loy. Possible relations to Michael's daughter Joanna Magdalena Roemer's husband Henrich Fauth. d. Captain John Middaugh, service 30 days, 105 men. Interesting names include: - Ensign Thomas Beatty, Jr., and John Beatty. Possible relations to James Edward Beatty who married Elizabeth Roemer. The musters do not include any Stocker, Eller, or other Dick name. A possible reason for these men not being listed might be that of a religious conscientious objection to military service as was typical of the nearby Moravian Sect with which we find these names later associated in the next generation in North Carolina. 4. FHL book "In and Out of Frederick Town, Colonial Occupations," by Amy Lee Huffman Reed and Marie LaForge Burns, microfilmed July 15, 1991 (FHL film 6088329). It is interesting to note that Michael Roemer was a tanner, his son-in-law Michael Stocker a saddle and harness maker, and Roemer's son-in-law Michael Grosh a leather worker. Other sources indicate that Stocker's second father-in-law Jacob Pfau was also a saddle maker. I believe also another Roemer son-in-law may have also been involved with leather. The transcript: P. 38: 90, Michael Raymer, Tanner, B:576, 1752. P. 39: 118, Michael Stogar [Stocker], Saddler, K:432, 1765 Pp. 58-59: "Harness has remained virtually unchanged in appearance and function since the eighteenth century. Selection of the proper leather, perfect cutting, and thorough stitching were essential in making the best quality harness. Harness could also be tooled or studded with brass if the customer was willing to pay the price. Plain harness for four horses cost about sixteen pounds, equivalent to the price of eight mahogany chairs upholstered and trimmed with brass nails. It is not surprising that saddlers in colonial towns were often among the most successful of all the craftsmen. High demand for their products and the high prices charged for them made many saddlers moderately wealthy men. Some saddlers combined leathercraft, blacksmithing, and wainwrighting to make wagons. Jacob Baer, a saddler, and Christian Berger, a blacksmith, on the same North Market Street lot in 1764, may well have been in the wagon-making business, though only briefly. Berger sold his blacksmith tools and a wagon to John Shellman and moved on within two years. Michael Stogar [Stocker] was a saddler on West Second Street who paid his store bill by making harness. Thomas Schley, Jr. had a saddlery on South Market Street in the 1770's… Leather was tanned in Frederick Town during the colonial years at Michael Raymer's [Roemer] tanyard, located downwind from town on the easternmost Patrick Street lot. A few years later he was joined by Mathias Need, another tanner. Either or both of these men may have been curriers who finished leather for local craftsmen. Michael Grosh, a leather worker, married Michael Raymer's daughter Christina. Young Grosh probably was in business with his father-in-law, for in 1772 he was buying hides in the countryside around Frederick Town. From Joseph Doll he bought the following: (Doll's Ledger) 2 calf skins - 3-1/2 pence per lb. 11/3 1 sheep skin 0/9 2 cow skins - 3-1/2 pence per lb. 2/1/2 3 calf skins and "one cow skin of Beatty's old cow" 17/6 Michael, the son of innholder Conrad Grosh, lost his life in the American Revolution serving with troops from Frederick County under the command of Colonel Baker Johnson. Young Grosh was a casualty in the Battle of Germantown on October 4, 1777. He was survived by his widow Christina and two small daughters, Sophia, aged six, and Charlotte, three years old.

Horatio Sharpe to call together the MD Assembly for the purpose of issuing bills of credt, that is paper money. The old use of tobacco as money, still prevalent in the state was particulary inconvenient on the northwestern frontiers where tobacco was not a practical crop. Note that Frederick Co. at that time comprised present Carroll, Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, Alleghany, and Garrett Counties..." [Source: "Calendar of MD State Books (The Black Books), page 194 and in "Archives of MD, 32, 124.] The list includes hundreds of names including Michael Roemer or Raymer. Related names include Valentine Adam (possible relation to Michael Stocker's third wife Anna Maria Adams), Valentine John Adams (same possible relation as before), Conrad and Peter Grosch (relation to Michael Roemer's son-in-law Michael Grosch), John Haas (Michael Roemer's son-in-law), and Philip Johann Heinrich Kuntz (European acquaintance of Michael Stocker).

Joyce Packenham 'Mrs. Wallace' Ramage of Mesa, Arizona, was instrumental in researching the disposition of John and Jean Adair Ramage's land. Of the 500 acre grant which John Ramage received in 1773, all the land has been accounted for with the exception of six acres. The following disposition took place: 5 Jun 1789 - 90 acres were sold to Robert Bell. 1 Jan 1799 - 94 acres were sold to Nathan and Jane Davis. 16 Feb 1799 - 100 acres were sold to Benjamin Ramage. 16 Feb 1799 - 110 acres were sold to Josiah Ramage. 1804 - 100 acres were sold by John Hutson, Robert and Mary Hutson, and Robert and Hannah McCord. There is no record of this 100 acres being sold by John Ramage. The second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina. John Ramage is considered the earliest Ramage to migrate to Laurens County, SC. The next generation of Ramages in Laurens County, SC included: Capt. Joseph Ramage, James Ramage, Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage, and Benjamin Ramage. At this time we have documented proof that Mary Ramage Dillard, Josiah Ramage and Benjamin Ramage were children of John Ramage. As for Capt. Joseph Ramage and James Ramage, it is possible that they may have been sons of John Ramage but additional documentation is needed before we can say for certain. It has always been a family tradition that there were three Ramage brothers who settled in Livingston County, Kentucky from Laurens County, South Carolina. Two of the brothers were thought ot have been James Ramage and Josiah Ramage. We do not have documented proof of a third brother although there was a Jesse Ramage in the Kentucky Militia in 1803. This Jesse Ramage may have been a brother. Jesse Ramage would be considered in the second generation of Ramages in Laurens County, South Carolina if documentation is found to substantiate that he was in fact a brother to James Ramage and Josiah Ramage who migrated to Kentucky. At this time we have found no records in South Carolina pertaining to this Jesse Ramage. It should also be noted that there may have been females who were part of the second generation. By having been married we have not been able to associate them with our Ramage family. Capt. Joseph Ramage (mid 1700s-1825) was born in Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina at an early age (reference: 'Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas,' F.A. Battey and Co., 1889, pages 95 and 96). He was an American Revolutionary patriot in Laurens District, South Carolina. He married Elizabeth Bourland, a daughter of William and Mary Bourland, who were neighbors of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage in Laurens County, SC. The children of Capt. Joseph and Elizabeth Bourland Ramage were: John Ramage, James Ramage, Jane 'Jennet, Jenny' Ramage Bonds, Robert Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage Sparks, Elizabeth Ramage Wesson, Jesse Ramage, Joseph Ramage, Rebecca Ramage Dabage (Dobage), and J.L. Ramage. In 1990, a monument in memory of Capt. Joseph Ramage and his family was erected at the Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Laurens County, South Carolina. James Ramage (1760s-ca. 1831), his wife, Lucy (Lydia), and their family migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. James and Lucy (Lydia) Ramage's children included: John Ramage, Thomas Ramage, Judah 'Judith' Ramage Phillips, Jane Ramage Stalion, Josiah Ramage, Nancy Ramage Kidd East Mitchell, Margaret Ramage Glass, and Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens (note: land transaction would indicate that Rebecca Ramage Barlow Pickens may have been a daughter of James Ramage but it is not fully documented at this time.) Mary Ramage Dillard (early 1760s-ca. 1795) considered an American Revolutionary Heroine because of her late night ride to warn the American Patriots of an impending attack. Her effort is said to have prevented a Tory victory at Blackstocks (Tarleton's first defeat in South Carolina). Mary was the wife of Capt. James Dillard. Capt. James Dillard and Mary Ramage were the parents of: John Dillard, Priscella Ramage Dillard Garrett, Jane 'Jennie' Dillard Burke, Elizabeth Dillard Harris, George W. Dillard, Samuel Dillard, and Mary 'Polly' Dillard Garrett. Documentation has been found that proves Mary Ramage Dillard was a daughter of John Ramage. Josiah Ramage (1760s-1823), his wife, Margaret, and their children migrated to the Livingston County area of Kentucky during the first decade of the 1800s. Land records in Laurens County, SC indicate that Josiah Ramage was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage. Josiah and Margaret Ramage's children included: Joseph Francis Ramage (we believe that Joseph Francis Ramage was son of Josiah but it is not fully documented at this time), John Ramage, Mary 'Polly' Ramage McElmurry, William Benjamin Ramage, James Ramage, Jane Ramage McElmurry, Jesse Ramage, Josiah Ramage, Jr., and Sharlet (Charlotte) Ramage McElmurry. Benjamin Ramage (4 Oct. 1773-ca. 1812) and his wife Eleanor Adair, were the parents of: John Jewel Ramage, Benjamin 'Ben' Ramage, II, and George Washington 'Wash' Ramage. Land records in Laurens Co., SC indicate that Benjamin Rambae was a son of John and Jean/Jane Adair Ramage." 5. The book "The Ramage Family of Laurens, South Carolina," 1999, Martis D. Ramage, Jr., 4218 Ridgemont Drive, Belden MS, 38826, FHL film 2055402, Item 2, p. 81: "Benjamin Ramage, a son of John and Jean (Jane) Adair Ramage, was born Oct. 4, 1773. He married Eleanor (Elanor, Elender) Adair (born 2 Jan 1774) about 1795 and they lived in Laurens County, SC. Benjamin Ramage died in Laurens County on 22 Mar 1811. [Book continues with extensive descendancy of this couple.] 6. The publication "Laurens County Kinfolks Volume 1 Book 2," by Richard W. Fowler, gives the following family: "Eleanor Adair (dau. James, gdau. Joseph) was b. abt 1785. She m. Benjamin Ramage (4 Oct 1773-1812), son of John Ramage and Sarah Dillard. Child: John Jewel Ramage, b. 1801; d. 1844. He m. Nancy Weyman Adair, dau. of James Adair and Delilah Holland." BIOGRAPHY: 1. Typescript "Early Adairs of Laurens County, South Carolina. Compiled by Mildred Brownlee; Source Records: Wills; Intestate Estates; Deeds; Court Records; Cemetery Inscriptions. Some dates of birth and death obtained from Lineage Charts. Dates of birth and death subject to correction. Spelling of names subject to correction." [Note that bracketed comments are later additions by other reviewers including myself - Kerry Petersen.]: "Jean/Jane Ramage, dau. of Joseph Adair, Sr., cooper. Jane Adair is thought to have married John Ramage. In 1773, John Ramage received a grant of 500 a. on Duncan Creek not far from Duncan Creek Church and Joseph Adair, Sr. The 1800 census of Laurens Co. indicates that both John and Jane were born 1755 or before. There is no will or loose probate records for John Ramage in Laurens Co. On 5 June 1789, John and Jane Ramage sold to Robert Bell, 90 a., part of the 500 a. grant; On 16 Feb. 1799 John and Jane Ramage sold to Benjamin Ramage 100 a., part of the 500 a. grant; on the same day, John and Jane Ramage sold to Josiah Ramage, 110 a., part of the same grant; on 1 Jan. 1799, John and Jane Ramage sold to Nathan (Jonathan) Davis, 94 a., part of the 500 a. grant; Benjamin Ramage and James Ramage were witnesses. The above deeds account for 394 a. of the 500 a. grant. Disposal of the other 106 a. has not been determined. The above deeds are recorded in Bk. C, p. 151; Bk. F, pp. 417 and 418; also p. 423. In the absence of actual proof documents and based on the deeds, a logical conclusion could be drawn that Benjamin Ramage, Josiah Ramage, and Jane, wife of Nathan Davis were children of John and Jane Ramage. James Ramage was also associated with the above and was of an age to have also been a son. A daughter may or may not have married Robert Bell who died intestate by 1792. No wife was mentioned in his estate record, only his daughter, Isabella, who mar. on 15 Aug. 1797, Robert Scott. Mentioned sons were Richard Bell, James Bell, and David Bell, all of whom moved to Livingston Co., Ky. c1800/01. Joseph Ramage who lived in the Duncan Creek area was considered to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage; however, in 1817, Joseph Ramage stated that he was born 5 June 1747 and was too old for jury duty. He may have been too old to have been a son of John and Jane Ramage. Joseph Ramage married Elizabeth Borland and their family is well documented by Marty Ramage in his excellent book. Our Ramage Family, published in 1986. In a letter written to Lyman Draper (*Lyman C. Draper, author of 'Kings Mountain and Its Heroes,' published in 1881) in 1873, Mrs. Nancy E. Boyce. age 71, daughter of Capt. James Dillard and his second wife, stated that the first wife of her father was Mary Ramage, the daughter of John and Jane Ramage. Mrs. Boyce's letter also identified Mary Ramage Dillard as the Mrs. Dillard who warned Sumter at Blackstock's on Tyger River that British soldiers were headed in that direction. Mrs. Boyce also stated that an older sister had been of the opinion that the warning had been taken to Musgrove's Mill. (Comment by compiler: The BRITISH were already at Musgrove's weren't they??) [Children:] ??Joseph Ramage, mar. Elizabeth Borland. Josiah Ramage. b, before 1774, mar. Margaret ____, to Livingston Co., KY. James Ramage, b. before 1774, mar. in Laurens Co., also to KY. Benjamin Ramage b. 4 Oct. 1773, d. Dec.(?) 1811, Laurens Co. mar. Eleanor Adair. b. 2 Jan. 1774, dau. of James Adair and wife, Hannah. ?Jane Ramage, mar. Nathan Davis, No further data. Mary Ramage,. b. 1760/62, d. 1795/97. She was the first wife of Capt. James Dillard and the mother of seven children." MARRIAGE: 1. Since the family shows up in the 1800 census with two small children under age 10, the marriage would have had to be before 1797 at the latest. | Ramage, Benjamin (I3759)

The book "Stamford Town Records, Volume 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, (Boston: NEHGS, 2011), pp. 140-41: "Page 149 [1:120] ([Benjamin Green])[448] & Susanna Roberts maried 10th Aprill, 1683. ([Sarah?, dau]ghter[449] to Bejamin Green, born 19th April1 1684.

Susan, wife to Ben: Green, dyed 5 November 1694." Footnotes: 448. The name "Benjamin Green" is apparent, since the following records of his children are grouped together right after this record. Huntington (Stamford Registration, 39) and Jacobus, (TAG 11:1 [July 1934]: 36) agreed that this name should be Benjamin; however, the Barbour Collection (Stamford: 155), citing Stamford Town Records 1:120, when recording the marriage of Susanna Roberts, not only failed to fill in the name "Benjamin," but also left out the name "Green." 449. The following three daughters of Benjamin and Susanna (Roberts) Green, whose names have been broken off, were identified by Mead (Historie of Greenwich, 551-52) as Sarah, Phebe, and Lucretia, respectively. Mead, who was assisted by Robert B. Miller, editor of the "Lyon Memorial," appears to be correct with the exception of Lucretia's name, which should have been Johanna. It appears that Benjamin Green had only the four children listed here by his first wife, Susanna Roberts, for her death is recorded after her fourth child, Benjamin Green, Jr., (STR 1:120, line 6). Benjamin Green's will (Fairfield Probate Records, 8:63 [FHL 0,004,287]) dated 18 Feb. 1724/5 and probated 5 April 1727, mentions his wife and children Benjamin, Johanna, wife of Daniel Wheaton, Ebenezer, Nathan, Ruben, Charles, Sarah Lockwood, Phoebe Smith, Ester Smith, and Deborah Dan. In this list we see a Sarah and a Phoebe, but no Lucretia. The name Lucretia appears to be a Huntington invention (Stamford Registration, 39), as it is seen nowhere else in the records. Jacobus identified this third child as [Sus]ana (TAG 11:1 [July 19341:36) Deciphering the last three letters of her name, he evidently surmised that she was named after her mother Susanna, mentioned three lines earlier. However, her name appears to be Johanna. Not only does Benjamin's will refer to a daughter Johanna, but the original record, although seriously faded, appears to say "Johana." Note also that a John and "Feebe" Smith had a son, John Smith, on 16 Feb. 1709/10 (STR 1:125), at which time Phoebe would have been 24 if she was the second daughter." MARRIAGE: 1. The book "Stamford Town Records, Vol. 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, NEHGS (Boston, 2011), shows no marriage record; however, on p. 151 (p. 158 [1:125]) the birth of their first son John is shown for 16 Feb 1709/10. 2. There is a vague suggestion that perhaps Phebe Green married second abt 1727 a Mr. ___ Lockwood. I have not yet found any substantation for this and more research may be needed. This may be a confusion with Phebe's sister who married Joseph Lockwood. There is also reports of a Phebe Green born ca. 1780 of Rhode Island who married Benoni Lockwood. SOURCES_MISC: 1.

Susan, wife to Ben: Green, dyed 5 November 1694." Footnotes: 448. The name "Benjamin Green" is apparent, since the following records of his children are grouped together right after this record. Huntington (Stamford Registration, 39) and Jacobus, (TAG 11:1 [July 1934]: 36) agreed that this name should be Benjamin; however, the Barbour Collection (Stamford: 155), citing Stamford Town Records 1:120, when recording the marriage of Susanna Roberts, not only failed to fill in the name "Benjamin," but also left out the name "Green." 449. The following three daughters of Benjamin and Susanna (Roberts) Green, whose names have been broken off, were identified by Mead (Historie of Greenwich, 551-52) as Sarah, Phebe, and Lucretia, respectively. Mead, who was assisted by Robert B. Miller, editor of the "Lyon Memorial," appears to be correct with the exception of Lucretia's name, which should have been Johanna. It appears that Benjamin Green had only the four children listed here by his first wife, Susanna Roberts, for her death is recorded after her fourth child, Benjamin Green, Jr., (STR 1:120, line 6). Benjamin Green's will (Fairfield Probate Records, 8:63 [FHL 0,004,287]) dated 18 Feb. 1724/5 and probated 5 April 1727, mentions his wife and children Benjamin, Johanna, wife of Daniel Wheaton, Ebenezer, Nathan, Ruben, Charles, Sarah Lockwood, Phoebe Smith, Ester Smith, and Deborah Dan. In this list we see a Sarah and a Phoebe, but no Lucretia. The name Lucretia appears to be a Huntington invention (Stamford Registration, 39), as it is seen nowhere else in the records. Jacobus identified this third child as [Sus]ana (TAG 11:1 [July 19341:36) Deciphering the last three letters of her name, he evidently surmised that she was named after her mother Susanna, mentioned three lines earlier. However, her name appears to be Johanna. Not only does Benjamin's will refer to a daughter Johanna, but the original record, although seriously faded, appears to say "Johana." Note also that a John and "Feebe" Smith had a son, John Smith, on 16 Feb. 1709/10 (STR 1:125), at which time Phoebe would have been 24 if she was the second daughter." 2.

Huntington (Stamford Registration, 39) and Jacobus, (TAG 11:1 [July 1934]: 36) agreed that this name should be Benjamin; however, the Barbour Collection (Stamford: 155), citing Stamford Town Records 1:120, when recording the marriage of Susanna Roberts, not only failed to fill in the name "Benjamin," but also left out the name "Green." 449. The following three daughters of Benjamin and Susanna (Roberts) Green, whose names have been broken off, were identified by Mead (Historie of Greenwich, 551-52) as Sarah, Phebe, and Lucretia, respectively. Mead, who was assisted by Robert B. Miller, editor of the "Lyon Memorial," appears to be correct with the exception of Lucretia's name, which should have been Johanna. It appears that Benjamin Green had only the four children listed here by his first wife, Susanna Roberts, for her death is recorded after her fourth child, Benjamin Green, Jr., (STR 1:120, line 6). Benjamin Green's will (Fairfield Probate Records, 8:63 [FHL 0,004,287]) dated 18 Feb. 1724/5 and probated 5 April 1727, mentions his wife and children Benjamin, Johanna, wife of Daniel Wheaton, Ebenezer, Nathan, Ruben, Charles, Sarah Lockwood, Phoebe Smith, Ester Smith, and Deborah Dan. In this list we see a Sarah and a Phoebe, but no Lucretia. The name Lucretia appears to be a Huntington invention (Stamford Registration, 39), as it is seen nowhere else in the records. Jacobus identified this third child as [Sus]ana (TAG 11:1 [July 19341:36) Deciphering the last three letters of her name, he evidently surmised that she was named after her mother Susanna, mentioned three lines earlier. However, her name appears to be Johanna. Not only does Benjamin's will refer to a daughter Johanna, but the original record, although seriously faded, appears to say "Johana."

In regards to this individual: "Jews in Eastern Europe usually had at least two and often 3 names. Their Hebrew name, Osher (Asher), Eleazer, Arye etc. were used often in combination with their Yiddish names in the synagogue and on their tombstones. Their Yiddish names, Lemchen, Leiser, Leib etc. were used in their daily activities and often with the authorities until such time as they adopted civil names largely as a result of the above mentioned process. Then names such as Ludwig, Leopold, William etc. appeared. A Jewish child was called after a deceased grandparent, firstly paternal, if the paternal grandparent was still living or if he/she was the second child they were then called after the maternal grandparent - then followed great grandparents uncles etc. This is the basis for extrapolation. To carry it a little further. In the synagogue you were called up to the Torah by your own name and your patronymic that is your father's name. Likewise on a tombstone in Hebrew is inscribed the name of the deceased as well as his patronymic."

Courland (Kurzeme in Latvian, Kurland in German) is the historically distinct area of modern day Latvia bounded by the Baltic Sea to the west, Lithuania to the south, and the Dvina River (now Daugava) to the North. Its historic capital was Mitau (now Jelgava). It had ice-free Baltic ports with commercial and strategic importance. At its height Courland was a prosperous and cultured German-speaking Duchy. Courland was a separate Gubernia (Province) of the Russian Empire from 1797-1918. 50-60% of the Jews living in Riga just north of Courland had family roots in Courland. The names of the various towns have changed now that the area is part of Latvia (new-old as of early 1900s): Aizpute-Hasenpoth Jelgava-Mitau Kuldiga-Goldingen Liepaja-Libau Piltene-Pilten Talsi-Talsen Ventspils-Windau 3.

The following accounts are copied from JewishGen.Inc and report the holocaust actions of Libau which affected many Herzenbergs. It was also typical of many of the nearby areas as well: A. Translation of an Excerpt Relating to Libau, From the Book Published by Mr. Mendel Bobee in Yiddish "With the outbreak of hostilities in the East, Libau was bombarded on 22.6.41 [June 22, 1941]. A very small portion of the local population could flee the next day because the trains were overloaded with the children and families of the officers and civil servants serving in Libau. Before the war the Russians organised "Workers Guards" in which many Jews participated. These Guards were the first to see action. The first attack on the town was repulsed, but in this first action the number of casualties was very high and, as it happened, most of the casualties were Jewish boys. The Germans occupied Libau on 29.6.41 [June 29, 1941]. The radio stations of Koenigsberg, Danzig, and Memel broadcast in Latvian highly inflammatory tirades against the Jews. With the entry of the German Army in Libau the Nazis distributed a pamphlet in Latvian to revenge the acts of "the bloodthirsty Jews who have expelled the good sons of the Latvian People to the USSR" The Latvian military and police forces under the command of the Latvian Generals Dankers and Bengersky joined the German forces and gladly participated in their infamous propaganda. Orders were published to hand over all valuables, radios and other means of communications. The meagre food portions were cut and the infamous "Aizsargi," in their alleged searches for weapons, invaded Jewish homes and robbed, beat up and killed. With the conquest of Libau by the Germans the Jewish population counted 9,000 souls and immediately the systematic extermination started. The first victims were 33 Jewish workers who reported to work the next morning after the occupation. They were killed the same day in the "Rainis Park" in Neu-Libau. Another order was published saying that all Jewish males between the ages of 16-65 had to come every morning to the "Hauptwachplatz" from where they were dispatched to different stations of work, accompanied by beatings and curses. No one was sure he would return home at night, as indeed many did not. The Jews were commanded to dismantle with their own hands the Great Synagogue - "The Chor-Schul" - and to destroy the Sifrei Tora. After the destruction of the building the Latvian Press claimed that the cellars of the Synagogue contained hidden weapons and Latvian property. In these first weeks around 2000 Jews were killed and on the 24th [of] July, 3000 more men were assembled on the "Hauptwachplatz" and after their papers and valuables were taken from them, they were transported to a small fishing port near the Lighthouse at the entrance of the Port. They were all killed then and there. The Jewish population of the smaller surrounding towns like Grobin, Hasenpot, etc. were all killed in their different small towns, and only a few were deported to Libau. The murderers took special satisfaction when they killed on Yom Kippur Day 50 old men and women. After complaints from Latvians living near the Lighthouse about the noise, the executions there were stopped. Soon another order was published saying that Jews were not to leave their homes on the 15th and 16th [of] December. They were then told by Latvians to dress warmly as they were about to be sent to work in distant places. The truth was they did not go far, only 7 kilometres, to Shkeden, and there on the beach another 3000 Jews were massacred. It was later reported that some of the killers could not bear any more the sight of these bestialities and literally went crazy. The German Commissar named Laze heard about these massacres and asked Berlin either to stop these or change the means of exterminations. He argued that the killings were disrupting his plans for the work the Jews were carrying out for the German Army. The laconic reply he received from Berlin was "economic considerations are not to be taken into account in solving that problem." Another 375 Jews were killed on 12.2.42 [February 12, 1942] and by the end of June 1942 the Ghetto of Libau was founded. On the 1st of July the Ghetto was entirely cut off from the remaining population, and in the Ghetto, 816 people including 175 males were settled. Eleven houses were prepared for the inmates, and the preparation of the buildings, etc. was made by Jews especially selected for their good physical condition. In spite of overcrowding in the Ghetto houses, the inmates led an orderly life which was mostly due to the devotion of Mr. Israelit, a senior Jewish functionary in the town, who was assisted by Mr. Kagansky, the lawyer. Life as such in the Ghetto, with a small synagogue, a library and a small ambulatory clinic was not too difficult. The German Commander named Kretscher was rather an exception between the thousands of German officers, and treated the Jews relatively humanely. The Ghetto existed 18 months and was dismantled on the 18th of October 1943, when all were packed into railway cattle cars and transported to the "Kaiserwald" Camp near Riga. Of those who were sent there, 360 people were sent to the Auschwitz Crematorium. From the "Kaiserwald" Camp many were also sent to the "Riga-Reichsbahn," "A.E.G." and other camps in and around Riga. With the Russians approaching Riga, most of the Libauers were evacuated to Germany through Danzig and Stutthof, and were dispersed between the camps in Germany itself. When Libau was liberated, 40 living Jews were found out of the 9000 who had lived there until 1941." B. Libau Revisited, by Raya Westermann-Mazin "My first visit to Libau was in 1945, less than 2 months after the end of the war. At that time it was a closed city and the special laissez- passer had been difficult to obtain. I found eleven Jews in town, who had survived by miracles. After having dug up all the details available about the destruction of my family and friends, I listened for long hours to their stories, to the whole chronicle of the past 4 years, enveloped and absorbed in a nightmare in a nightmare for which there were hardly any adequate words in any human language. When I left I was sure that this was for good. In 1961 I came with my family from Odessa to Riga for a summer vacation. It was good to meet old friends, to enjoy the cool Baltic summer, to bathe in the sea and to linger in the white sand of the Riga Bay under the high fir trees. What suddenly made me lose my piece of mind was the last news about Libau: the city had been declared open by the Soviet authorities, with no need for a laissez-passer any more. Even Shkeden, the place in the "Kriegshafen" where the "Aktionen" had taken place, was open territory now; the centres of gravity of the naval port had evidently been moved elsewhere. Human bones had been found in the area of 8 kilometres where the shooting had taken place. The mass graves had been so close to the beach that the sea, penetrating the shallow sands, had washed them up to the surface. The authorities had permitted the Jewish community to take the bones to the cemetery and to bury them. There had been a memorial service, a gravestone had been put up. The plane which took me to Libau in 45 minutes hardly deserved the proud definition of an aircraft. It was a primitive little thing, not soundproofed, which held 15-20 passengers who sat lulled and dulled by the deafening noise of the engine. It had been raining and the plane was bumping up and down from one cloud to the other. Only at noon when we landed the sun broke through. Libau had changed. Sixteen years ago the whole centre and the adjoining streets had been a vast heap of ruins with mutilated skeletons of houses sticking out here and there, the grass sprouting out of the dust which had cemented the stones in the four years of the war. I had felt shaken then but I had not felt stranger. It still had seemed a part of myself - this beautiful, small Baltic town. That it looked victimised, violated and ruined was an integral part of the tragedy which had happened to it and to me. This time, venturing out into the city of my hotel at the Rosenplatz, I felt like a tourist in a strange town. The roses on the square, all shades from white to pink to purple, looked as lush and well groomed on their long stems as before, but now there were some renovated buildings and Russian-style cafeterias around the square. New modern houses were making up a new Weidenstrasse and part of the Kornstrasse which had been destroyed, but these were completely new streets, awakening no memories whatsoever. The names of the streets had been changed, the signs were in Latvian and Russian. There were many uniforms, mostly naval. "You go straight down the Ulichstrasse till the entrance to the "Fisherhafen," I had been advised by old Libau friends. The street had not changed. Although it looked much smaller and narrower than in my memories, the wide branches of the old lime and acorn trees still cast the same deep shadow over the sidewalk, with the breeze rustling lightly in their ample foliage. The entrance to the "Fisherhafen" was changed: some new stone houses had been put up. The plaque I had come to see was on one of the walls. There was an inscription in Latvian and in Russian: "To the victims of Fascism" killed during the German occupation. One cannot put flowers on a wall, so I put mine down on the ground - to my father and to all the others. It was already rather late in the afternoon but there might still have been time to drive down to the cemetery. Only...I didn't feel like it. Nobody I had come to visit here had been quietly put to rest in that peaceful place. Then, all of a sudden, I knew where I really wanted to go. To admit the truth, I have no recollections whatsoever of the 8 or 10 kilometres' drive from Libau to Shkeden on that summer day of 1961. Never during all the coming years would even a single memory surface or a single vision arise of the surrounding landscape. The taxi might have been speeding through a vacuum as far as I was concerned. The last thing which stuck in my memory was hiring it at the stop near the Central Market Place where I had bought a huge bunch of red roses. The driver was a Russian and I had felt relieved that he was not a Latvian. "This is a long drive," he said giving me a strange side-glance as I slipped into the seat beside him. But he didn't ask any questions and we drove in silence. It was a sunny day but I didn't feel it. In my mind I was in snow and cold and winter, back to all I had been told of this last journey - the death march of the Jews of Libau. This way they had gone in buses in December 1941, and in sledges and carts or more primitive vehicles in February 1942. As many times before I tried to imagine what my mother must have thought and felt, or my aunts, or my friends or other people I had known. I don't think I even came close to it, but there was no getting away from it, neither from the stories I had heard, nor from the photographs I had seen in Libau in 1945, fresh from the lab, pictures of people on the snow, stripped naked, in the background the Latvian "aizsargi" with their rifles, the earflaps of their caps down, and the collars of their uniforms up against the biting cold... The driver had stopped the car. "Well...?" he said turning to me, "That's as far as we can go." "Leave your taximeter on," I replied getting out of the car. The vast terrain was unbelievably quiet. One could hear the humming of the insects flitting by in the sun, or a sudden shriek of a seagull from the nearby sea. There was only a very light breeze, the blue surface was scarcely rippled by tiny waves, only far away there were a few white crests. A couple of old wooden watchtowers showed that this had been maritime border region some time ago. The dunes were very low and when I turned away inland from the sea they stopped altogether. The ground was sand everywhere, only a few clusters of sharp grey-greenish sea grass were growing here and there. I saw the obelisk from afar. It was a simple unspectacular four-edged cone of white limestone. When I came up to it, I read the stereotyped inscription in Russian and Latvian dedicated to the "Victims of Fascism" during the war. This time there was a number of the people killed. I don't remember it exactly but it was unbelievably high. There had never been so many Jews in the whole Baltic states. I had, however, heard that Eichmann's twisted bookkeeping had brought the Hungarian Jews to die on this sandy beach, and probably there had also been others. The word "Jew" was mentioned nowhere on any inscription. By now, however, I was used to this sort of Soviet post-mortem discrimination. As I had done the day before, I here, too, put down my roses and resumed my wandering. There were many empty cartridge cases of different calibre's on the ground. I bent down to look at them but I did not pick them up. Then I found the bone. It was an ulna, one of the two bones connecting the wrist with the elbow. It looked very dry and frail, it was small, that of a child probably not older than ten or twelve years. I don't know why I saw a little girl before me, it could as well have been a little boy. I took it back to the obelisk and started to dig a hole in the ground having no other instruments than my bare ten fingers. As I could not find a stone on the sandy ground I put some roses on the tiny grave and rose to my feet. It was a long walk back to the car. If the town had looked much smaller in comparison to what I had remembered, this sandy plain felt vast and endless and larger than life. A few hours later I was on my way back. Strapped to my seat in the same little bee of a plane I looked down at the city vanishing quickly beneath the wings. There was no regret or nostalgia that this was, I knew, the last time I would be seeing it. C. Witness for the Prosecution, by Arnold Engel "I waited a long time for this day. I thought the day would never come. The room in the new hotel - Intercontinental in Hanover - was spacious, warm and well lit. I got up early on this Friday, April 3rd, 1970, shaved and gave a look at my watch. It was 7:30 in the morning. One more hour. One more hour and I will face him. Will I recognise him? Will I be able to look into his eyes? I opened the curtain and looked outside. The new, modern television tower looked yellowish, as the sun was rising, and the light snow from the night before was starting to melt. I had a cup of coffee and hailed a taxi-cab: "Zum Landesgericht bitte." It was a ten minute ride. A police car rushed by blowing its horn, which sounded exactly as the Gestapo horns: pipi-pipi-pipi-pipi, the same sound of the police van which picked up Anna Frank and millions of others. The guard on duty at the court house directed me to the court room. It was early. I and "his" attorney were first. The court session was called for 8:30. Two minutes before, they started to come. One by one, in groups of three or four. Then I saw him. I recognised him at once. How could I have ever thought that I would not remember him? Aged, but still tall, slim, blondish and his trade-mark: cool, murderish, motionless eyes. The court clerk called to order. The judges entered. The jury looked bored. The defenders looked somewhat nervous, the defendant tried to remember if he ever saw me. He whispered something to his lawyer. Everything became quiet in the court room No. 127. Who is this man? It was said that he was once so powerful, that he helped to wipe out a whole town, he killed Children, shot hundreds of old people, young people, men, women, Jews and others all in one day, and managed to wash his bloody hands, have a few drinks and spend that evening joking or dancing, playing games or reading a newspaper - as if nothing had happened that day. After stating my name, address and birthday I was asked by one of the judges: "Mr. Engel, do you recognise any of these gentlemen?" "I do, sir." "Please point out, whom do you recognise?" "Him, Erich Handke." "Please tell us what do you know about Erich Handke?" For twenty-nine years I had dreamed about having the opportunity to testify against this brutal man - Handke. I knew that he was alive somewhere in Germany. One week after Hitler attacked the USSR, the Wehrmacht entered our small town of Libau on the Baltic Sea. Close to 9,000 Jews lived in Libau before the war - out of a population of 56,000. Libau had a rich Jewish community with two noted synagogues, a Jewish trade school, a Yeshiva, a Jewish private school, high school and a Jewish sports stadium, a yacht club and all the usual organisations, including the known sport club "Maccabi"." There were very few real rich Jews, but also very few were poor. Always a shipping and trading city plus its location at the white sandy Baltic seacoast, the city did its share of progress in tourism, in export and in import. Soon after the Wehrmacht, the Gestapo arrived, under leadership of SS-Obersturmfuehrer Dr. Fritz Dietrich, SD-leader Wolfgang Kigler, and Erich Handke who seemed to be in charge of everything, but mainly to solve the Jewish question. The first mass destruction of the Libau Jews took place on the hot summer day of July 27, 1941. The Jews were ordered to appear on the Hauptwachplatz. Known as ever law-abiding, the Jews obeyed the orders. At the square they had to stay at attention. Many were beaten up and had to undergo terrible treatment by the SS-men. Erich Handke was on the warpath. Kicking, shouting and slapping, he ordered hundreds of Jews to be thrown on ready brought trucks. As the number of Jews present diminished, he noticed a tall handsome, grey- haired gentleman, who was none other than Dr. Schwab, a well known local physician. Handke killed him in a brutal manner; this murder was witnessed by the hundreds of Jews who were still standing at attention on the square, where I used to come as a child and watch the fire engines being cleaned. During that day, on a hot July, over three thousand Jews were executed near the lighthouse in the vicinity of the sandy beach, where people used to bathe. Handke did not stop here. He was everywhere. Almost daily he would appear somewhere. Wait for them with their yellow rag, marked Jews marching from work, tired from their slave labour, hungry from not eating - and with a "blitz" he would start to attack. It would take up this and many more journals to describe all the "heroic deeds" of this bloodthirsty murderer. When a day passed by and he did not destroy a human life, he would order one of his Jewish slaves to find some pigeons and bring them to him in a hurry. Once they brought him the pigeons, he would take them, one by one and squeeze their heads off, by placing the birds between the door of his office and pulling the door shut. By 1942, one year later, there were only 800 Jews alive. A Ghetto was created and the 800 moved into it on the 1st of July, 1942. The Libau Ghetto was liquidated on the 6th of October, Yom Kippur day, and the inmates were sent to the Kaiserwald near Riga concentration camp, and when the number dwindled to less than 500 they were sent to the Stutthof death camp near Danzig. Today, there are less than 80 Jews who survived the war, the camps and Handke. Many do not have the strength to testify against the Scharfuehrer (Staff Sergeant) Erich Handke, born 10 November, 1914 (SS #371241) in Lisa, Germany; many do not recall the exact dates, locations or even if Dr. Schwab was attacked at the Firemen's Square or in the women's jail (where the Jews were once more screened before being sent to their death). The German court at Hanover tried their best to have Erich Handke with his eight other cohorts convicted, they have travelled to the USA and Israel, and were permitted to interview survivors now residing in the USSr. But, because of the time elapsed, the reasons I gave before, Erich Handke may be walking the streets a free man at Tailfingen. I do not regret that I went to Hanover, that I once more faced this mass-murderer Handke. I am glad, that I was able to be a witness for the prosecution." PHOTO: 1. I have on file a photo of Lena (Kramer) Herzenberg and her descendants taken circa 1927 from Ron Lapid per his email dated 3 Aug 2010 -Lena (at an advanced age). -Lena's sons (missing Max Mordechai and Edward): -Adolf (Avraham) with no wife but with adult son Leon standing behind Adolf resting a hand on Adolf's shoulder. Leon's name is an error and the son is confirmed by Gail as her father Willy Gabriel. -Willy Gabriel, wife Sarah Hellman, dau. Frieda, sons Eliezer, Joseph, Zvi (Harry). -Joseph Jacov, wife Rachel Freudberg, children Klara, Taube, Nichole, Bernie, Judith; son Willy is missing from photo. -Lena's daughter Sarah Levenstein (seated) and unidentified girl standing behind her with resting an arm on Sarah's shoulder who could be Sarah's daughter Hinda. No husband shown (deceased?) for Sarah. Both seem to be wearing black in the photo (perhaps a sign of mourning?). -One unidentified adult male sitting on Lena's immediate left (Adolphe sitting in same position on opposite side of Lena). By looks, he appears same age as other brothers. Could this be Max Mordechai (without his wife and Children) or even Edward (on a visit back from the US)? SOURCES_MISC: 1.

Courland (Kurzeme in Latvian, Kurland in German) is the historically distinct area of modern day Latvia bounded by the Baltic Sea to the west, Lithuania to the south, and the Dvina River (now Daugava) to the North. Its historic capital was Mitau (now Jelgava). It had ice-free Baltic ports with commercial and strategic importance. At its height Courland was a prosperous and cultured German-speaking Duchy. Courland was a separate Gubernia (Province) of the Russian Empire from 1797-1918. 50-60% of the Jews living in Riga just north of Courland had family roots in Courland. The names of the various towns have changed now that the area is part of Latvia (new-old as of early 1900s): Aizpute-Hasenpoth Jelgava-Mitau Kuldiga-Goldingen Liepaja-Libau Piltene-Pilten Talsi-Talsen Ventspils-Windau 3.

Courland (Kurzeme in Latvian, Kurland in German) is the historically distinct area of modern day Latvia bounded by the Baltic Sea to the west, Lithuania to the south, and the Dvina River (now Daugava) to the North. Its historic capital was Mitau (now Jelgava). It had ice-free Baltic ports with commercial and strategic importance. At its height Courland was a prosperous and cultured German-speaking Duchy. Courland was a separate Gubernia (Province) of the Russian Empire from 1797-1918. 50-60% of the Jews living in Riga just north of Courland had family roots in Courland. The names of the various towns have changed now that the area is part of Latvia (new-old as of early 1900s): Aizpute-Hasenpoth Jelgava-Mitau Kuldiga-Goldingen Liepaja-Libau Piltene-Pilten Talsi-Talsen Ventspils-Windau 3.

In regards to this individual: Name variations: Josepf, Joss Naftal, Joseph. HL 106/067 shows b. Goldingen, d. abt 1913 in Libau, md. Behrman. D1912. Died of intestinal cancer. Founded the firm Gebruder Herzenberg with his brother Leonard. BIOGRAPHY: 1. 28 Jul 2007 Http://www.herzenberg.net/leo/htmlrh/Content.html copyrighted by Leo Herzenberg: "An meinen Sohn (To my son) Leonhard Herzenberg von (from) Robert Herzenberg. Memoirs written during the 1940's." Translated during the 1990's by Leonardo (Leonhard) Herzenberg. The entire memoir is quite lengthy and included in its entirety in my notes with Joseph Herzenberg, the original known ancestor, in this database. The following is only the portion dealing with this part of the family: The GENERATION of MY PARENTS [78] My grandparents Naftali and Nese had four sons and six daughters: Leonhard, Joseph, Ignatz, Leopold, Sarah, Ernestine, Sophie, Fanny, Dora, and Lina. All four brothers lived in Libau. Uncle Joseph, who later became a business partner of my father's, married a Behrman, aunt Frieda. They had no children. He died of intestinal cancer shortly before the first world war. He did not get along well [79] with my father, but they were shackled together for many years by the Brothers Herzenberg firm. It did not help that the sisters in law got along even worse. In any case, to me he was more rude than friendly and my every try for a loan [pumpversuch] during my student time failed [schlug fehl]. Even once when he loaned me 10 mark for my return from Heidelberg to Libau, he insisted on my father paying him back immediately on his return... ...The four brothers were all bald. They all had received a very poor cheder education. My father was the only one who could speak and write [83] German with no trouble, who had taught himself a remarkable education, who sometimes read a book or appreciated good music. Everything he knew of western and Jewish culture was entirely self-taught. The other three brothers remained at the point at which they had left the Cheder. They never left Libau and were very narrow-minded, and though they were my uncles, they and I did not have any contact areas. They never understood my student needs, and never helped me... ...Soon after his second marriage Papachen with his brother Joseph founded the firm Gebruder Herzenberg. The shop was located in the Knopf building, on the corner of Korn and Julian streets. After a few years the whole [126] block of buildings up to the market burned down. The shop changed locations several times until the Knopf's rebuilding was complete. The shop again moved back to the old corner, and is still there. However, I don't know what it is called now, since the Bolsheviks who took back Latvia after France collapsed in June 1940 "nationalized" the business, that is took it over without compensation, and your uncle George, the owner, was set out on the street. The business went well, but it was no true happiness. Papachen did not get along with uncle Joseph, and Mamachen even less so with aunt Frieda, uncle Joseph's wife. Both had equal rights, and when Papachen hired somebody, and uncle Joseph did not like them, the latter would fire them. But they both withstood it. Shortly before the world war uncle Joseph died, and Papachen became sole owner... ... I was here in Oruro, I had just gotten a letter from him written in good spirits, since an improvement in his condition had occurred, when the telegram with the sad news arrived. I had lost not only my father, but also the best friend on earth, and the most noble person I ever knew. Papachen's funeral in Libau was exceptional, the coffin was kept in the synagogue, and there the memorial orations were given, Now he rests in the south cemetery next to Mamachen, grandmother, and uncle Joseph..."

In regards to this individual: "Jews in Eastern Europe usually had at least two and often 3 names. Their Hebrew name, Osher (Asher), Eleazer, Arye etc. were used often in combination with their Yiddish names in the synagogue and on their tombstones. Their Yiddish names, Lemchen, Leiser, Leib etc. were used in their daily activities and often with the authorities until such time as they adopted civil names largely as a result of the above mentioned process. Then names such as Ludwig, Leopold, William etc. appeared. A Jewish child was called after a deceased grandparent, firstly paternal, if the paternal grandparent was still living or if he/she was the second child they were then called after the maternal grandparent - then followed great grandparents uncles etc. This is the basis for extrapolation. To carry it a little further. In the synagogue you were called up to the Torah by your own name and your patronymic that is your father's name. Likewise on a tombstone in Hebrew is inscribed the name of the deceased as well as his patronymic."

Also note that Peter has the following children of Willy and Sarah: Freida, Jacob, Josef, Eliezar, and Zvi Harry. [I have Frieda, Lazar (Eliezar), Joseph, Harry or Hirsch, and Tzvi.] Peter also notes a "Photo" shows Eliezar and Zvi Harry. Estimate Eliezar b. abt 1915 and Zvi Harry abt. 1922. Peter includes the following footnote noting that both Eliezer and Zvi Harry are present in a group family photo supplied by Gail Herzenberg but not mentioned in her father Gabriel William's records. Due to the composition of the photo and estimated ages, these two individuals have been placed as the sons of Gabriel Willy subject to confirmation. He also notes that Jacob H. is mentioned elsewhere in the records, but not present in the group photo possibly making Jacob and Eliezer as one and the same. DEATH: 1.

This information is based on a Page of Testimony submitted 8 Mar 1993 by his cousin Tauby Hercenberg Lewis residing at Ezion Gaber 3/7 Jerusalem, 97823. PHOTO: 1. I have on file a photo of Lena (Kramer) Herzenberg and her descendants taken circa 1927 from Ron Lapid per his email dated 3 Aug 2010 -Lena (at an advanced age). -Lena's sons (missing Max Mordechai and Edward): -Adolf (Avraham) with no wife but with adult son Leon standing behind Adolf resting a hand on Adolf's shoulder. Leon's name is an error and the son is confirmed by Gail as her father Willy Gabriel. -Willy Gabriel, wife Sarah Hellman, dau. Frieda, sons Eliezer, Joseph, Zvi (Harry). -Joseph Jacov, wife Rachel Freudberg, children Klara, Taube, Nichole, Bernie, Judith; son Willy is missing from photo. -Lena's daughter Sarah Levenstein (seated) and unidentified girl standing behind her with resting an arm on Sarah's shoulder who could be Sarah's daughter Hinda. No husband shown (deceased?) for Sarah. Both seem to be wearing black in the photo (perhaps a sign of mourning?). -One unidentified adult male sitting on Lena's immediate left (Adolphe sitting in same position on opposite side of Lena). By looks, he appears same age as other brothers. Could this be Max Mordechai (without his wife and Children) or even Edward (on a visit back from the US)? | Herzenberg, Lazar or Eliezar (I3943)
