NEW information for Johann Heinrich Reinking and Christian Heinrich Reinking

 

Preußisch-Ströhen

The Reinking family origins date back to the northwest and central parts of Germany in the provinces of Rhine-Westphalia, Rhine-Palatinate, Lower Saxony, Hessen where there are Reinking families still living today. The name Reinking essentially means, 'Pure-King' and its origins can first be traced back to Bavaria as early as the 1200's.

Christian Heinrich Reinking was born in Preußisch-Ströhen. Family stories state that he along with several of his family members left for the United States with some of the family migrating into the Flanders-Luxembourg areas.

The small village of Preußisch-Ströhen (link: http://www.preussisch-stroehen.de/) where Christian Heinrich Reinking was born is located just outside the larger town of Rahden, Germany to the north (link: Rahden).

Christian Heinrich Reinking was one of the original founding fathers of St. Johns Lutheran Church in Corcoran, Minnesota. Christian was drafted into the civil war where the U.S. Army changed his original name of Reinking to Rankin and he collected a pension under this name after being wounded. Note: It was common for German immigrants of the time to be subject to name discrimination. Some voluntarily changed their names and others were forced to do so while there were many that did not change their names. It depended on their circumstance.

Rahden and Preußisch-Ströhen church history

The Rahden Church was founded in 1353 by the Mindener Bishop Gerhard I. Rahden and was first known as Großendorf until the early 20th Century. By December 1, 1900, the parish served 8,356: Großendorf, including Espelkamp which was 2533, in Kleinendorf 1174, in Varl 1315, in Sielhorst 831, In Wehe 1188 and in Tonnenheide 1315. There were also 36 Roman Catholics and 67 Jewish according to Gemeindebuch der Kreissynode Lübbecke published in 1957. Preußisch Ströhen was part of the Rahden St. Johanneskirche parish until 1847, when it received it's own church. Espelkamp has grown larger than the other towns and cities in the immediate area and in 1910 was granted its own standing ward from Großendorf.

Generation No.1

 

NEW   1.  JOHANN HEINRICH1 REINKING was born Abt. 1730 in Gohfeld, Herford, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland and christened 7 June, 1732, Gohfeld, Herford, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland and died November 21, 1801 in Goldenstedt.  He married his first wife,  (1) ANNE MARGARETE ELISABETH KLEINE LANGEHORST, daughter of JOHANN HEINRICH KLEINE LANGEHORST and ANNE MARGARETE DOROTHEE VATTHAUER.  She was born August 24, 1734 in Pruessen, Rahden, Westfalen, Germany, and died approximately between the years of 1768 - 1770 in Preußen-Ströhen, Rahden, Westfalen, Germany. JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING married his second wife, (2) ANNE MARIE ILSABEN LANGEHORST, daughter of GERD SIMER LANGEHORST and ANNA MARIA ELLERKAMP, on July 18, 1770 in Preußen-Ströhen, Rahden, Westfalen, Germany. She died October 31, 1803 Preußen-Ströhen, Rahden, Westfalen, Germany.

 Notes for JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING:

Some supporting data came from the Buschmann records of Rahden and the surrounding villages. Many thanks for their work. There are many Reinking families born in the areas of Preußen-Ströhen, Rahden, Uchte, Ovenstädt, Hävern, Windheim, Bielefeldaltstadt, Lippe, Schnathorst, Hannover, Petershagen, Gehlenbeck, Minden, Wehe and many more close areas. Many of these villages and towns are all within a short radius of each other where many Reinkings were born and lived and many of them possessing the same names, or very close to the same names, making it a challenge for research.  

 Note:  It is believed that Johann was born outside of the Rahden/Prueßen-Ströhen area in a nearby village or town. The 1767 record of his sons birth 'Heinrich Wilhelm Reinking' says that Johann was a "dem Bauer Joh. Henrich Reinking, Neubauer in Ströhen

 "The farmer Joh. Henrich Reinking, (Neubauer=someone who settled recently as a farmer) in Ströhen. Johann had just come to the area of Ströhen and established a farm there as a "new farmer" to the area. 

 NEW  Notes for JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING death account:

Click on the thumbnail to view the record:   The general translation of this record is as follows:  "In 1801 Johann Heinrich Reinking went to visit his son, "Christian Heinrich Reinking" and grandchildren in Goldenstedt in the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (called Hannover) and was found dead, but uninjured under an ash-tree the next morning. He was buried in Goldenstedt, but was eulogized in a sermon back in his home of Rahden/Prueßen-Ströhen. He was 73 at the time of death."

 

Notes for ANNE MARGARETE ELISABETH KLEINE LANGEHORST:

ANNE MARGARETE ELISABETH KLEINE LANGEHORST died between the birth of her last child FRANTZ DIETRICH REINKING b. 1768 and the year 1770, as JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING, her husband re-married in 1770 to ANNE MARIE ILSABEN LANGEHORST. The exact date of her death has not been found as of this writing, but the research is still ongoing.     

Notes for ANNE MARIE ILSABEN LANGEHORST:

ANNE MARIE ILSABEN LANGEHORST married JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING July 18, 1770 (18.04.1770). The names are nearly exactly the same to ANNE MARGARETE ELISABETH KLEINE LANGEHORST, Johann's first wife. It is not known if they were related, but JOHANN HEINRICH REINKING married her only two years after the birth of child FRANTZ DIETRICH REINKING. 

Note:  At that time the name Elisabeth and Ilsaben in German were interchangeable and used as the same name for example. According to Genealogist the name Ilsaben for Elisabeth was used mostly in the Westphalia area of Germany. Ilsaben was the 'short-form' of Elizabeth. The name Marie was also used as 'short-form' for Margarete. Anne's mothers middle name was 'Dorothee' so this is most likely where she uses this name in the birth of child CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH WILHELM REINKING b. April 3, 1776. 

Johann, Anna, Anne, Maria, Marie for example were often not a first name at all, but many families adopted these names after their favorite biblical saint. So their middle names were their real names. Example, 'Johann Heinrich Reinking' is most likely 'Heinrich Reinking.' As years passed some generations even dropped the saints name.

Notes for Christian Reinking:

Christian Heinrich Reinking fought in the civil war. This information provided by Charlene Hayes based upon conversation with Minnie Reinking, his daughter. Minnie Reinking calls the civil war, 'the war that freed the slaves.' She also says that the government changed the spelling of the original 'Reinking' to 'Rankin.' She doesn't know why this happened. From civil war records at the Minnesota Historical Society, listed under 'Christian Rankin' - Mustered in to Company F., 2nd Minnesota Infantry regiment on 28 May 1864 at age 29. He was discharged from the hospital on 14 July 1865 with a pension. Further on the page lists what happened for the time that Christian was enlisted. "Battles and skirmishes of the Atlanta campaign, viz: Resaca, Jun 14, 15 and 16, 1864; Jonesboro, Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas, Bentonville, 19 March 1865. Discharged at Fort Snelling, 11 July 1865." There are extensive notes in Christians file regarding the Sherman's March.

 

 

Christian was one of the original founding fathers of St. Johns Lutheran Church in Maple Grove, Minnesota. 'Refer to the 100th celebration booklet' published by the church. 'Christian Heinrich Reinking was born in Evangelisch, Preußisch-Ströhen, Westfalen, Pruessen 1835. He lived there twenty-four years, moved to America in 1859, and settled in Corcoran, Hennepin County. He was drafted in 1864 into the Second Minnesota Regiment and was discharged in Washington at the close of the war. Source: "History of Hennepin County and the city of Minneapolis,  Including the explorers and pioneers of Minnesota, and outlines of the history of Minnesota by Rev. Edward D Neill and J Fletcher Williams. North Star Publishing Company, Minneapolis, 1881. Page 321; Corcoran-Biographical." The 1850 Land abstracts denotes 80 acres in Corcoran, Section 24 to Christian Reinking. He bought the land 17 May 1863. Christians brother Friedrich bought an adjacent 160-acre parcel in Section 13, September 1860.

Notes for CATHARINE ELISE SOPHIE HEGERMANN:

Immigration Note:   Looking at the immigration record of Catharine you will see a 'Henry Reinking' listed in the same 'Between Deck' holding with her. Christian often went by his middle name as most German's did, which is Heinrich, or 'Henry' anglicized. This was Christian Heinrich Reinking. 

NEW: More marriage notes:   At some point Catherine Hegermann and Christian Reinking knew each other in Germany as Catherine Hegermann had a child with Christian Reinking and they named the child "Christian Diedrich Friedrich Hegermann." The church record shows the child died 6 days after birth and that Christian Reinking of Ströhen was the father. After Catherine Hegermann and Christian Reinking came to the United States they immediately married within about 3 months of coming to Minnesota. 

More on Catharine Hegermann:

Per the 1870 national census Catharine states that she was born in Württemberg, Germany. Per the 1875 Minnesota state census Catharine states she was born in Oldenburg, Germany. In later census she also states that she is from Württemberg, Germany. In her immigration information she states she is from Oldenburg. Note: Oldenburg is north where Bremerhaven, Germany is located. A large ports of call in addition to Bremen and Hamburg. These cities are located in the extreme north of the country. But Württemberg is located in the extreme south of the country. Have no idea at this time why she stated this. When filling out the travel manifest the immigrant would often enter where they were leaving from although some manifests would directly ask where their last living residence was. Per Catharine's death certificate, her husband, Christian Heinrich Reinking, was the informant and he states that his wife's first name is Catharine and that she was born October 29, 1836.  Cathereine Hegermann was born in Nordermoor, Oldenburg, Germany, where Catherine was born is located very near, or nearly at, the border of Germany and Denmark.
