(B) Abraham Jacob Matthies or Abraham Matthies and His Father

• Thanks for sending it along. That's the first I've heard Abraham's second name as Jacob which we could assume was his father's given name. I have a note that says: "There is a Matthies, Jakob who came to Altonau, Molotschna in 1804 at the age of 43. His wife was Catharina. Among their 7 children was an Abraham, born January 9, 1796. See B.H.Unruh's book "Die Niederlaendisch-Niederdeutschen Hintergruende der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16. 18. und 19 Jahrhundert, page 351. This may be the parents of Abraham, born January 4, 1796."  - Louise Ross, December 9, 2008

Eric - The Matthies name is given in the Name Index to Die niederländisch-niederdeutschen Hintergründe der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16., 18. und 19. Jahrhundert by Tim Janzen on http://www.mennonitehistory.org/projects/books/unruh/m.html .The index is based on  B.H.Unruh's book "Die Niederlaendisch-Niederdeutschen Hintergruende der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16. 18. und 19 Jahrhundert . Translated as "The Dutch-Lower [North] German Background of the Mennonite Eastward Migrations of the 16th, 18th and 19th Centuries" it provides information on Mennonite migrations from Prussia to South Russia.

Introduction:

------------

After the occupation of West Prussia and the District of the Netze River by Prussia during the first partition of Poland in the year 1772, the Geheime Finanzrat Rembert Roden was ordered by Frederick the Great to prepare a land survey of these territories. The land survey should produce the necessary foundation for the introduction of the Prussian taxation system in the new territory. In the years 1772/73 three commissions with about 60 officials and 40 surveyors were occupied with this work. For each town a land register was established which could contain up to 91 items.

This was largely a head of household registration and not a poll tax or one that counted every person. Thus the listing of names is restricted to the head of household at the time of the registration. Most head of households were male although there are a few women listed. The most frequent enumeration of women comes as widow and thus lists the surname of the deceased husband. Unfortunately, many women are listed without a surname, this is also the case with male Jews, and to some extent people with Polish heritage. An important aspect of this land tax register is the listing of children. The number of children living in 1772 are numerically indicated, most of the time designated as over and under 12 years of age.
