Notes:

Birth:

     Among the various family researchers, the exact number and order of Johann's given names has not been resolved.
     Johann's family was living in Wester at the time of his birth. Wester is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen.
     A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created.
     For information on the ancestors of Johann H. W. Aufderhaar, visit the web site of Dr. Richard Cochran at (http://library.ferris.edu/~cochranr/gen/ ) (as of August 1999).
     During the Napoleonic era, from about 1808 to 1810, Ladbergen, as part of the County of Tecklenburg (Grafschaft Tecklenburg), came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg (French: Grand-duché de Berg; German: Großherzogtum Berg), a client state of the First French Empire.
     In 1811 borders were redrawn again and Grafschaft Tecklenburg was incorporated directly into the First French Empire as part of the Département Ems-Supérieur (German: Departement der Oberen Ems).
     After Napoleon's defeat, Ladbergen was liberated from French occupation and was at first governed provisionally and then formally by the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen, Königreich Preußen).

Immigration:

     In Ladbergen, Johann H. W. Aufderhaar was a Heuerling or tenant farmer. "They owned no land, and they lived in rented houses on larger farms. Every large or middle-sized farm in Ladbergen had one or more tenant houses (in German: Heuerhäuser) scattered over the farm. The highest number on any farm in Ladbergen was seven; two or three was common. Each tenant farm house had its own plot of 7 to 12 acres. The tenants rented the houses and plots for life. The tenant farmers were not the same as sharecroppers or rental farmers in the American sense. They had only a small plot to themselves, and they did not need to give any of the yield to the landowner. They were essentially renters of houses who paid for their dwellings with a small amount of cash and a specified number of days of labor. In the 19th century the tenants were typically relatives of the landowners, but this was decreasingly the case after the turn of the century." [from Friedrich Saatkamp, Ladbergen: Out of the History and the Present of the 1000-Year Westphalian Village, edited and translated by Dean R. Hoge (New Knoxville, Ohio: New Knoxville Historical Society, 1985) page xxiii].
     Johann (about age 32), his wife, Anna Elisabeth Fiegenbaum (about age 29), and their three children at the time (about ages 8, 4 and less than 2 years) emigrated from Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Prussia.
     This family group was joined by Anna Elisabeth's married sister, her husband, their child (less than 1 year old), and her husband's unmarried sister. Also in the party was Anna Elisabeth's parents and their 2 younger, unmarried children.
     In all, at least 13 members of this extended family left Ladbergen together in 1841. They departed Germany from the port of Bremen on the bark Leontine. Of the 102 persons on board, 56 were identified on the passenger list as former residents of Ladbergen. Four other persons were from the nearby towns of Brochterbeck and Lengerich. The Leontine arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on 28 June 1841.
     The Fiegenbaums, Aufderhaars and Bierbaums traveled further west until reaching and settling in Warren County, Missouri.

Buried:
Johann was buried in the cemetery located south of and next to the brick church dedicated in 1884 as the German Evangelical Immanuels Church of Holstein and know since 1957 as Immanuels United Church of Christ.
