NOTE
The 1841-1860 Church Family Book for Peterstal indicates that Magdalena (Theurer) Hissong was born 21 Feb 1812 in Peterstal. However, her death record on microfilm indicates that she was born in Erdmannhausen. Her birth record there gives her date of birth as 30 Jul 1813.

MARRIAGE
(From Erdmannhausen archivist, Dieter Duill)
"On the occasion of a marriage the couple had before, or not long after, the ceremony to establish a marriage inventory at the village/town hall. The THEURER oo HARTMAYER (-MAIER) original inventory at our archives has about 20 pages (in the beautiful old German script) of everything they possessed. Bernhard THEURER was given 800 fl=florins=Gulden and 30 x=Kreuzer (1 fl=60x) in cash by his father. Regina THEURER owned fields, vineyards, meadows worth 1,092 florins, plus movables (her clothes, bedlinen, household contents) all listed up in detail worth 50 fl 48 x. After the deduction of borrowed money of 390 fl 20 x, the whole sum was 1,539 fl 58 x. The document is signed by the THEURER couple.. To give you an idea of how much money this was, an average farm house would have cost about 500/600 fl."
EMIGRATION
From Dieter Duill, Erdmannhausen archivist: "People who wanted to emigrate officially had to appear before the local council to ask for consent. Bernhard, 44, and Regina, 40, did so in April 1819 (minutes of the council). They owned 2,000 fl now. Often enough, councils were glad to let people go, those who only owned next to nothing or up to about 100/300 fl, or so. But as the THEURERs owned quite some money the council asked them to stay, probably also telling them of the dangers of the long journey, during which many people died and never arrived at the 'promised land'. But as Bernhard and Regina insisted on emigrating, the council finally gave its consent. Together with the THEURERs, Regina's 'Kriegsvogt'=curator ad litem (Latin)=court guardian appeared before the council. As married women did not have full equal rights at court or council, they had to have a spokesman."
The Erdmannhausen Family Register for Johann Bernhard Theurer says: "Er ist mit Frau and allen seinen Kindern in der Nacht Zwischen dem 7ten and 8ten Juli 1819 in das südliche Rußland ausgewandert." (He emigrated with his wife and all his children to southern Russia in the night between the 7th and 8th of July 1819.)
According to Karl Stumpp's book: "Theurer, Joh. Bernhard, aus Erdmannshausen/Ludwigsburg/Wu, 1819, nach Freudental/Od; Fr: Christiane; S: Joh. Jakob 15, Georg Friedr. 12, Johannes 8, Joh. Gerhard 1". This information would appear to be accurate except for the names of his wife and youngest son. Also, it does not include the daughters who came with him.
Another reference was found in "Ostwanderung der Wuerttemberger 1816-1822". Table 23 is an 'Index of Emigrants from Ober Amt Marbach 23 Apr 1819-Dec 1822'. This table lists the following:
Joh. Bernh. Theurer, Farmer from Erdmannhausen
Wife Regina
Children: Jakob 15, Gg. Frdr. 12, Sibille Katar. 9, Johs. 8, Elis. Magd. 5, Joh. Gerh. 1
Fortune: 2000 fl.
Guarantor: Jak. Pommer [NOTE: Jacob Pommer was a witness at the baptisms of the Theurer children.]
PETERSTAL
Bernhardt Theurer is on the list of Peterstal colonists who received wheat seed in the fall of 1820 and spring of 1821. (Fond #252-1-280)
In a document regarding land distribution in Peterstal, signed on 5 May 1827, one of those signing was "Burgermeister Theurer." This was most likely Bernhard, as his oldest son would have been only 23 years old.
HISTORY
(NOTE: Source unknown; received from Lola Weber)
"Chapter One: Freudental, South Russia 1819 - The icy wind rose howling across the Russian prairie as Johan 'Bernhard' Theurer and his family finally reached their destination of Freudental, a beautiful little village laid out on the north bank of the Baraboi River about 20 miles west of Odessa in southern Russia. It has been a long and grueling trip from Erdmannhausen, Ludwigsburg, Wurttemberg in Germany; but as they rode in their wagon, Bernhard's eyes sparkled with pleasure at the strange magnetic power of the scene before him. They could see that it was rich with grasslands and on the south bank of the river there were several lofty hills which would provide fine building stone for their new home. Upon their arrival into the village, they were warmly greeted by the Abel family, the Vogels' and the Schillings' who were all from the same district of Ludwigsburg. ..
"For the Theurer family, a farming family, the poor harvest in Germany in the years 1809 through 1816 led Bernhard to look to the promised land in the East to provide a future for his four sons. Bernhard's oldest son, Johan 'Jacob' was 15 years old and soon ready to be on his own. The raising of sheep was a very important enterprise in Freudental from the very beginning of the settlement. Bernhard's sons, Georg Friedrich, age 12 and Johanes, age 8, spent many an hour tending sheep for their father.
"However, only a few short years after settling in Freudental, there was a shortage of acreage for Bernhard and his sons to grow as the population of the colony increased considerably. By 1828 it had become necessary to establish a daughter colony named Neu-Freudental where 47 families resettled. Most of the families were sons and daughters of the mother colony, however, a few came directly from the Kingdom of Wurttemberg after a brief stay in Freudental."

In 1737 Johann was a Corporal in an army regiment. From 1739-1755 records indicate that he was a Weingärtner (wine grower). His daughter's marriage record in 1759 shows him to be a Krämer (shopkeeper) in Erdmannhausen, Germany.
MARRIAGE
According to Müller, Johannes Fischer, "Korporal und Krämer," married Ehemann in 1736.

No further information was found on other children for Johannes and Maria Dorothea. There is a death record for a Maria Dorothea, daughter of Johann Fischer, Weingarttner, who died 9 May 1755 with her age given as 1 year, less 7 days. This could be another daughter.
There is a marriage record for a Johannes Fischer, father Jacob Fischer, for 18 Nov 1673. He was marrying Margaretha, father Jacob (last name unreadable). This might possibly be this Johannes' father or grandfather. No further records for Fischers were found.
