John Martin Fauser
1878 History of Fayette Co. Iowa - Westfield Township, Page 688:  FAUZER, John M. (Martin), weaver, West Albany (Albany, sec 14, Westfield Twp, Fayette Co, Iowa):  Born in Germany in 1825; emigrated to the United States in 1849; lived in Ohio until 1856; came to West Union (probably just east of West Union with the Nefzger's, then to the sec 2 area of Westfield.Twp, with Simon Nefzger by the 1860 Census, bz/2012), where he resided until 1862; then moved to this place (Albany plat).  Was married in Ohio, in 1852, to Louisa Kerhuzie; she was born in Germany in 1828; have five children living - Christiana, Eve K., Mary L., Martin A., and Simon; lost one - Rosetta, died in 1864. He was School Director two years, and Road Supervisor four years. Belong to the Lutheran Church.

1825  Born, Wurt/Germany.
1849  Germany to United States, age 24, settled in Crawford.Co.OH.
1852 Married Louisa Kunze in Crawford.Co.OH.
1854Jul-1856, Moved to Huntington.Co.IN
1856aftMay, Came to the West.Union.IA area, probably with the Nefzger's, farming just east of the West Union plat in the Saltsgiver neighborhood.
1860bef, Moved from Union.Twp to the Thorp neighborhood in the NE corner of Westfied.Twp.

1860 Census
John (Martin) Fouser 35/Ger, Louisa 33/Ger, Christina 8/OH, Cathrine6/OH, Mary 4/IN, Catherine (Kunze m/law) b.abt1800) 60/Ger
Notes, bz/2012May
...In 1860, John Martin Fouser is located 2+ mil N or Albany, farming in northern Frog Hollow, in the NE corner of Westfield.Twp in the sec 1-2 area, adj to Chauncy Smith in the Thorp Neighborhood.  Tax assessment is $0/200, therefore he is renting, share cropping or a farmhand with a relative or acquaintance.  Since dau Mary Louisa was b.May1856 in Huntington.Co.IN, it can be assumed John Martin brought his family to the Frog Hollow area after the 1856 Fay.Co.IA Census and bef. the 1860 Census, living/farming with the Nefzger's

1862 Likely moved from the Throp neighborhood in northern Frog Hollow, 2+mi S into the Albany plat.

1866Apr26.  Per a deed transfer:  The 24 acre plot NW (in sec 14) of Albany is that of John M. (name on deed)  FAUSER who purchased it from Andrew HENSLEY and wife. I have copy of such deed. Johanes sold a strip of that land (100 ft wide) to the Chicago Clinton Dubuque and Minnesota Railroad Company filed 4 Oct 1882.

Albany Lots:
1866Feb16, Bk 1, all lots, John Martin Fauser (name as listed) bought from Edward Thorp.
1866Feb20, Bk 6, lots 1,2,3, John Martin Fauser (name as listed)  bought from Edward Throp.
1896Feb15, Bk 1, Heirs of John Martin Fauser (names as listed)  sold to H.W. Goodrich, all of bk 1.

1879Oct15, Bk10, lots 3,4,5,6, Johannes Fauser bought from R.E. & Catharine Matsel. (Speculate this is John2 husb of Sophia, bz.2012)
1887Oct12, Bk10, lots 1,2,3,4, John Fauser & wf, sold to John Doland.  (Speculate this is John2 husb of Sophia, bz/2012)
...Johannes is also enumerated as son of John Fauser & Sophia Draber, this being a 2nd John to come later of Albany.
...John2 Fauser and Louisa nee Kunze Fauser (wf of John Martin Fauser) were witnesses at the wedding of Johannes in 1881 at Albany, Thus John2 is likely a brother or first cousin of John Martin Fauser, bz/2012.
...Note, 1887 may also be about the time that John2 sold off his acres just N of Albany in sec 14 and just SE of the Albany bridge in sec 23 to John Doland, bz/2012.

1870Apr02.  Per a deed transfer:  John M. Fauser and Louisa Fauser sold land described as the following to Simon NEFZGER; "24 acres of East side of 43 acres off North end of 60 acres off West side of SW quarter section 14 (Westfield.Twp) township 93 Range 8 West except 1 acre lying in NW corner of said land. Also 7-1/2 acres as follows; commencing 60 rods East of NW corner of SW 1/4 of Section 14 (Westfield.Twp) Township 93 Range 8 running East 20 rods thence South 60 rods thence 20 rods thence North 60 rods to place of beginning." I have copy of deed, (Ron.Fauser.2012)

Note: the above plot of land, the hillside just west of the Albany plat is shown under S. Nefzger ownership on the 1879 plat  just west of the Albany plat in the SW1/4 of sec 14, Westfield.Twp.  This was basically all hill pasture/timber land.  John Martin died Jan 1880.  It appears that he dabbled in farming after moving into the Albany plat in 1862 but weaving with his wife and sons was his main livelihood.  It is John2 and wife Sophia that owned the field/farm land just north of Albany in sec 14 and just SE of the Albany bridge in sec 23,  bz/2012.

Notes, bz/2012May
...In 1870, John Martin Fawser is living in the south Albany plat adj to Earl's Mill, tailor Oelberg and the Nefzger store. He probably moved from Frog Hollow into Albany abt 1862 as stated in the 1878Hist of Fay.Co.IA.
...Catherine1800, listed with John Martin Fauser in the 1860 census is not listed in 1870.  Assumption; she has died and it buried probably unmarked at Lima or she moved back to Crawford.Co.OH.
