Neuenschwander
Surname Origin
...A 'Schwand' in the German-Swiss
dialect is a forest area which through the felling of trees and rooting out of
the stumps, had been cleared into fields and pasture lands.
...Around the years
1200 to 1300, numerous area had been cleared. Later a newly cleared area
received the name of "Neuen-Schwand" or new clearing.
...People who lived in Neuen-Schwand were called Neuenschwander. The surname is a mark of origin and is
connected in every case with the village of "Neuenschwand" near "Eggiwil."
Eggiwil village area.
Neuenschwand's above in Switzerland, are pastured
clearings
and appear similar to cleared areas of early Northeastern Iowa, below.
The forest soil in Iowa developed under deciduous hardwoods and not
conifer/pine forest,
plus there was more complete denuding and erosion of hills in Iowa, as below.
...Neuenschwander, is a family
name, meaning a man from the area of a tiny village (or Doerflien) of Neuenschwand,
which is near the village of Langnau, in
the administrative district of upper Emmental between the cities of Bern &
Lucerne, in the canton of Bern, in Switzerland.
...Neuenschwand village was/is on a
ridge overlooking the Emme River in Emmental district (Emme River Valley
flowage).
...Langnau was first noted in
history about 850 A.D. Langnau's population in 1700 was
abt. 3000, in 1850 abt. 5400. In modern time Langnau has a population of
about 9000 and still the most important market in the region.
...The area is
rolling hills at an elevation about 2400ft and usually very sunny with the
average temperature variations from about 74F to 23F. Precipitation
averages 54"/yr. Although a very sunny area, precipitation occurs on an
average of 145 days/yr.
...The area was known for dairy herds and
cheese making as well as a center of pottery, linen and canvas production. German is the predominate
language spoken.
Note: As of 2010, still searching for a connection of the Neuenschwander line of
Fayette Co, Iowa, to the other Switzerland lines and the parents of
Ulrich,
father of Elgin.IA's John Neuenschwander.
...The first person of this family was known to have been an
Anabaptist (Mennonite) (use Google and Wikipedia to understand the meaning)
was Uli Neuenschwander from Eggiwil, who appeared at the Bern disputation March
11-18, 1538.
...In 1551 Mathis Neuenschwander fled
from his Emmental (district) home because of his Anabaptist faith.
...Peter Neuenschwander and family left
their home in Langnau in 1729 and settled at Cortébert in the Jura. A son
Michael lived on the Münsterberg. The latter's son Michael moved to the Normanvillars
settlement in France and in 1823 migrated to Wayne.Co.OH
becoming one of the first settlers in the Chippewa settlement. In 1833 the
family moved to Putnam.Co.OH, to become the first Mennonite settlers there.
...A son, John B. Neuenschwander, founded the Mennonite settlement near Des
Moines, Polk.Co.IA, by settling
there in 1849. This family moved to Moniteau.Co.MO, in 1868, becoming one of
the pioneer families in that settlement.
...Peter M. Neuenschwander was a bishop
at Berne.IN. The Dutch Naamlijst of 1802 lists Ulrich Neuenschwander
as an elder of the congregation at Boliou (?) in the county of Limousin, France.
He was ordained in 1782.
...Another family that some claim were
originally Neuenschwander's are the Newschwanger's who first appeared in
Lancaster Co., Pa., in the 18th century. Of this family Emmanual Newschwanger
(1758-1846) ministered to the Diller congregation (Mennonite Church) near
Newville, Pa. for many years. In Virginia, Abraham Nisewander (1774-1846) served
in the Rockingham County Mennonite ministry for a number of years. In later
generations the name became common in the Church of the Brethren. Other families
of this name have been located in Ontario, Kansas and Oregon.
...A Neuschwander family immigrated to
Oregon from Switzerland in the 1880s, eventually settling near Silverton, OR.
Modern day Lanagnau, Switzerland.
More notes (2010) from GenForum:
The Neuenschwandger (Neuenschwander) line...
...A very old family association of the region of Signau of the
Nilder-stocken (The German-speaking area of Switzerland) Hofen, Lietzelkirk,
Canton Bern, Switzerland. It should be noted the small size of these
locations in miles/area and the fact the populations were often relatively
isolated for generations.
...In the 1970's there were still several John Neuenschwandger families living
in Switzerland.
...Many families of this name were listed in the parish record in the
Gemendehaus at Lagnau, a town located on the watershed of the Emme (in French)
river (Emmenthal is the German) in the region of the Canton Bern, Switzerland.
There were records of this family going back to the 12th century.
...In the early 1700's some of these families, including John Neuenschwandger,
moved to Sonbog in the parish of Sorenton on the Jura Plato of the
French-speaking region of the Canton Bern, Switzerland. According to the old
law, they still retained their citizenship in the parish where their forefathers
lived at the time of the enactment of the law.
...The Neuenschwandger's had become of the Anabaptists, a persecuted religious
sect, which denied the validity of infant baptism although they did practice
baptism of the adults.
...Records in archives at Canton Bern, Switzerland, indicate a band/group of
settlers, as early as the 1100's A.D.,
made a clearing or 'schwand' in the valley forests for raising food. The
new clearing was a new schwand (neuenschwand) and these
people took the name of NEUENSCHWANDER, in the Swiss dialect, or NEUENSCHWANDGER
in the German. Schwand is the imperfect form of the verb Schwanden,
which means to cease, to disappear to clear. The 'er' denotes a person.
...In Swiss history in 1357, a man with the name Henneus of the Neuschwand
officiated at the establishing of the rights of the church at that time, which
was before the Reformation of the Catholic Church.
...During this time period, village people usually were known by only one name,
thus Henneus. He was a man with a certain amount of power/control
and was able to assume a second name, that birthplace, Neuenschwandger/Neuenschander.
...In 1654 there was an exodus of these people to the Jura Mountains on the
border of France owing to the persecution of the state church, which was
Calvinist. The French language was spoken for a period of about twenty years,
which in turn caused the “d” in the name to become the softer “g” and “neuen” to
become “new”, in that area.
...When the Neuenschwander (Swiss dialect)/Neuenschwandger(German
dialect) families migrated through Germany or France to the American colonies
and spread throughout the United States, the name became spelled in numerous
ways, usually resulting from poor handwriting or attempts to spell it as it
was heard spoken; Neiswander, Neuschwanger, Neuen, Newenswander, Newswanger,
Neyswander, Niswander, Nisewander, Nicewander, Nighswander, Niswonger,
Niswanger, Nicewandger, Niswanter, Knighswander Nyswaner, Nyswonger,
...Abraham, one of the brothers of Christian Neuenschwandger had a chest of
family records going back prior to the 1200s, but it was lost some time during
the move to America.
...The largest castle of the family was built in 1357 on the Neuenschwand.
...During the 1500-1700s, religious wars were ongoing, caused by hatred between
the established churches of Hugue (later Huguenots), German Lutherans,
Swiss Reformed churches, and the Roman Catholics. Younger members of the
prominent families of the trouble times often would leave for religious freedom
in America in the later years. Many families had already moved out of
Switzerland into southwest Germany, Alsace Lorrain, or into France. Early German
missionaries had found undisturbed religious freedom in Pennsylvania, western
Maryland, and Virginia by the late 1600's.
...Starting in 1671, there was an exodus of Swiss area Mennonites to Germany and
to the American colonies. This religious sect was named after Menno Simon, and
was in opposition to taking oaths, infant baptism (from which came the name
Anabaptists) and military service. The rules for plain dress and living
were adopted. That part of the Reformation that lead to the Mennonite movement
began in Switzerland in 1525. Menno Simon, a Roman Catholic priest, joined the
group in 1636. While in Europe, the Amish became an offshoot of the
Mennonite sect, taking the name for the founder, Jacob, and were firm, even
today, in holding fast to church rules of plain dress and living habits.
...As these Mennonite families dispersed over the American colonies
and later
the United States, many of them quickly gave up the rigid rules of the
Mennonites and took on the social life, education, churches and militia/military
of the area in which they lived. This was particularly true of the Neuenschwander/Neuenschwandger families.
The Mennonites of Ohio; where John Neuenschwander removed from to NE Iowa, about 1859.
...The Mennonites as a religious group originated in the
Netherlands and Switzerland during the early 1500s. Mennonites originally
came together in opposition to certain actions and
policies of the Roman Catholic Church.
...The Mennonite name was derived from the founder of the Mennonite Church in
the Netherlands, Menno Simons.
...Some Mennonites were/are more conservative in their religious views than others,
but the majority shared common beliefs.
...Mennonites generally aspire to create a religious community dedicated to
God's word as presented in the New Testament. They rejected infant baptism,
believing that adults must profess their faith in God to be formally baptized.
They do practice communion, and some members also engage in foot washing. Most
Mennonites are pacifists and are opposed to violence and war. Some also refuse
to take oaths. They believe that the only oath that they should take is to
dedicate their lives to God.
...Some Mennonite groups use a variety of modern conveniences such as electricity and
automobiles. Other more conservative groups prefer to remain withdrawn from most
modern conveniences. Conservative Mennonites also prefer simplistic dress that
does not reveal bodily features.
...During the 1700s and the 1800s, many Mennonites fled religious turmoil in
Europe and sought religious freedom in the New World. Most
of these people settled in Pennsylvania, but succeeding generations have moved
across the Midwest.
...The Mennonites first arrived in Ohio during the early 1800s.
coming through Pennsyvlania. They originally settled in today's Stark, Wayne, Holmes, and Knox Counties. Mennonites also
moved into Ashland, Geauga, and Putnam Counties as well as many other places
across Ohio.
...Most Mennonites earned their living through agriculture. In the 2000s there
were more than 450,000 Mennonites in North America.

To
Northeast Iowa
...John Neuenschwander, age 18,
about 1850, immigrated with his parents from Switzerland to Monroe.Co.OH.
...John worked in a grocery with his father Ulrich and apprenticed as a wagon
maker and wheelwright.
...In the mid/late 1850's, age mid/late 20's, he came alone to McGregor, following
the Swiss and Ohio movement into NE Iowa. Siblings Eliz1839 & Wm1835, also
came to Iowa.
...John lived in a hotel on Main St, McGregor, Clayton.Co.IA for several years
working as a wagon maker.
...By the early 1860's he had saved enough money to buy lots (1863) and build a wagon shop
in Elgin, Pleasant.Valley.Twp, Fayette.Co.IA.
...The Mississippi
River landing at McGregor was very
important to the movement of goods to pioneers in NE Iowa before rails came in
the 1870's
...There were early direct wagon trails to the villages westward from the
various Mississippi River landings.
...Even after rails came into NE Iowa, river traffic from Dubuque, Clayton,
McGregor, Lansing was valued.
...Many of the Swiss and other pioneers that came into the Elgin and Fayette.Co.IA
area came through McGregor.
To
Elgin, Fayette Co, Iowa
where many familiar Swiss immigrants located
...John Neuenschwander, shortly
after the 1860 Census moved from McGregor, Clayton.Co.IA to Elgin, Fayette.Co.IA
There were already many Swiss immigrants located in the Elgin area.
...In 1863 he bought lots 13-16, bk 5, in Elgin and with the help of Carl Lehman
built a wagon shop and bath house.
John operated from this location until 1893, when he moved 10mi SW of Elgin to
the Dunham Grove neighborhood,
a 148a farm in sec 8, Wesfield.Twp, 2+mi NxNW of Fayette village, where he remained until
his death in 1910.
Elgin
wagonemakers:
...Between 1864-1867 Christian
Lehman was an apprentice wagon maker with John Neuenschwander. Christen
then left Eglin but returned in 1873 to open a wagon shop of
his own.
...Other wagon makers to include son George Neuenschwander apprenticed with John
over the years.
...The area around the Neuenschwander wagon shop had numerous
smiths, wagon makers and mechanics operating at the same time.
...In 1880, Randolph (Rudy) Moser, age 22, was apprenticing with John and would go on to
open his own shop nearby.
...John ran the major
Elgin wagon shop until 1893, then moved
to the farm 2mi N of Fayette, in section 8, Westfield Twp, between the Spring Valley and Dunham Grove neighborhoods.
...Son
George continued the Neuenschwander wagon shop most of the time from 1893-1908.
The Neuenschwander wagon shop
location would be replaced
with the garage and auto sales at the left of the
1916 picture.
From Elgin in 1893 to a farm 2mi N of Fayette, Iowa
...John Neuenschwander, age 60yrs,
in 1892, bought a farm 2mi north of Fayette Iowa, in sec 8, of Westfield Twp.
...April of 1893, six large wagon loads were moved to the Fayette area farmstead
and the wagon shop turned over to son George.
...John lived out the rest of his
life from age 60-77+yrs on the farm north of Fayette village.
...He had become expert in the use of cement for such things as floors and
water/milk tanks, building for area farmers.
...John died in 1910 of kidney failure, services were held at the German Baptist
Church in Elgin with burial at the Elgin Cemetery.
