Notes - Johann Michael* Jung (May 13, 1802 - December 9, 1879) was born in Rumbach, Germany to Johann Michael* Jung (1776 - Feb. 24, 1851) and Maria Elisabeth* Rucklos (1779 - July 11, 1852). He was the second oldest child and the oldest son in a family of 5 children. His older sister, Philippina Jung was born December 23, 1800. Johann Michael* Jung (May 13, 1802 - December 9, 1879) and his family, were the immigrants who transplanted our Jung/Young family from Germany to America.
The Jung family in Germany had been a family of weavers and during most of Michael's life, times had been hard. Michael (May 13, 1802 - December 9, 1879) had been born at a time when Germany was highly fractionated into over 300 small states and principalities. Napoleon had risen to power and was in the process of conquering Germany and most of Europe. By the time Michael was 10 years old, Napoleon had been defeated. Germany had been largely consolidated into a few larger states and a police-state government had been established that severely repressed the population.
In 1854, within 2 years after his mother, Maria Elisabeth* Rucklos (1779 - July 11, 1852) died, Michael (May 13, 1802 - December 9, 1879) converted all of his family's assets into cash and emigrated to America. Over the preceding 2 or 3 decades many families from his community had already immigrated to America. Michael was therefore immigrating to a new German colony of his peers.
The 1870 U.S. Federal census lists Michael Young, 68 years old, from Bavaria as a weaver.
The death record of Michael Young lists his date of death as Dec 9, 1879. His age on this date was 77 years, 5 months and 26 days. Back calculating his date of birth from the death record data does not agree with the German record of his birth date by one month. It would appear that his age should have been given as 77 years, 6 months and 26 days. This might have been a simple mistake made when his age was calculated at the time of his death. I have elected to use the date of birth which came from information that was supplied on his family church record from Germany.
According to the German Church records the date of birth for Michael Young was May 23, 1802. Also, the date of marriage in this reference is given as November 2, 1827 in Rumbach, Germany
I found in a document titled "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index" in the Carnegie Library at the University of Pittsburgh, Pa, the following entry: aboard the REGULATOR from Havre to New York on 04 August 1854:
Michel Jung age 50
Barba age 50
Salome age 18
Caroline age 20
Michael Young bought 80 acres of land from Herman Hahn on Oct 11, 1855.
Caroline Jung (May 19, 1832 - ?) married Georg Jacob Zimmerle (April 27, 1830 - ?) on November 15, 1855. Georg Jacob Zimmerle went by the name of Jacob. The records of three German churches (Lewisville, Miltonsburg and a church located between the two called Middle Church -- these records were translated and published by Dr. Shirley Harmon) indicate that Jacob Zimmerle landed America in 1836 having come from Grafenhausen, Germany, north of Annweiler. This same record indicates that Jacob and his wife Caroline moved to Tennessee.
Salome Jung (July 23, 1836 - ?) married Jacob Bott (July 29, 1835 - ?) on April 16, 1862. [There is some uncertainty regarding whether this is the correct Jacob Bott who married Salome Jung. She married a Jacob Bott, but the records show at least another Jacob Bott of about the same age. All circumstantial evidence seems to point to this being the correct Jacob Bott.] The record of Jacob and Salome Jung Bott appears to end with their marriage. It would appear that Salome and her husband may have left Monroe County after being married.
For completeness of the historical record of the Michael Jung family, it should be noted that Caroline and Salome had an older brother, Frederick Jung / Young (December 23, 1830 - February 4, 1912) who was the great, great grandfather of the author. Frederick Young immigrated to America in the spring of 1854, about 3 months ahead of his parents and two sisters. He went to Monroe County where there were a number of his friends and relatives from the Rumbach, Germany area. On May 20, 1856 Frederick Young married Eva Pfeiffer who lived with her parents about a mile away from the Young farm that Frederick and his father bought near Lewisville, Ohio. Frederick and Eva (Pfeiffer) Young had 8 children, one of whom was Louisa Young (1863 - 1913) the author's great grandmother.
Fred Young's headstone in the cemetery at Lewisville, OH shows his date of birth to be Dec 23, 1829. Frederick's death certificate shows his date of birth to be December 23, 1830.
