BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~harringtonfamilies/120c.htm
In proportion to the vast amount of information that exists on the Neuhart family, the coverage of the Neuhart family here is very brief. Rev. Dennis A. Kastens has published a vast amount of information on this family. Rev. Kasten's mother was a Neuhart and he began researching the name in the early 1950s. At this time, he has published several books covering his research. Much of the material in this book draws from these resources.
There is some uncertainty regarding the precise lineage of Valentine Nauert (abt 1574 - 1636). He was possibly the son of Hans Knauwert (abt 1548 - 1608) in Dahn and the grandson of Fredrich Knauwart (abt 1518 - bef 1589) in Dahn. Another possibility is that a N.N. Knauwert resided in Niederschlettenbach and that Valentine was his son, because descendants paid 1644 and 1666 property tax to Bobenthal Authorities. Regardless of the uncertainty of Valentine's ancestors, he is clearly in our ancestral line. It is only his predecessors who are uncertain.
Valentine Nauert (abt 1574 - 1636) moved to Nothweiler upon marriage to his first wife, Barbara (? - aft 1609) who was a native of that village. She was likely a member of our Wagner family, as we have discussed above, but that linkage has not yet been made. Valentine Nauert was a subsistence farmer. He also worked as a teamster for the Schoenau iron works and likely drove ox carts from the ore mines to the smelter which had been reactivated in 1592. Valentine had come from a devout home and became a church elder at a young age, filling the term of another elder whose position was vacated by death in 1605. This meant that Valentine served the Nothweiler church for the next 31 years in that capacity. From 1621 until the time of his death in 1636, he was also the village Mayor of Nothweiler. Valentine adopted a nephew, Michael Neuhart into his household by 1609 and served as security for a loan in 1627 which Michael took out as a Rumbach blacksmith. Valentine's first wife, Bargara Wagner (? - aft 1609), was the mother of their son Christoph Neuhart (1599 - 1654). Barbara died sometime after 1609. Valentine married a second time to Margaret (1572)? who also died in1636. The years 1635-1636 saw the return of one of the deadly sieges of bubonic plague that nearly devastated Rumbach population. While we can not be sure, it is likely that both Valentine and his second wife, Margaret, were victims of the plague.
