1. Verena¹ Baumann was born on 11 July 1790 at Hunzenschwil, district of Lenzburg, canton of Aargau, Switzerland, to Abraham Baumann and his first wife, Anna Maria Zubler. The family were legally citizens of Stilli in the district of Brugg, about 20 km to the north-northeast; Anna Maria was native to Hunzenschwil. Verena married Johannes¹ Döbeli at Meisterschwanden, district of Lenzburg, on 16 March 1816, and they lived in the same district, apparently at Holderbank. The family sailed from Le Havre on the bark Eliza Thornton, arriving at the port of New Orleans with the four children listed below on 19 May 1843, when Johannes was 54. By the end of the same year, they settled in Marine Township, Madison County, Illinois, about 30 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri. Johannes died there between 1845 and 1850, and Verena seems to have become a sort of matriarch and landowner until her own death on 19 January 1865.

   Children of Johannes Döbeli and Verena Baumann:

   1. Maria Döbeli, born 29 August 1816 in or near Holderbank
   2. Jakob Döbeli, born c. 1820 in or near Holderbank
   3. Verena Döbeli, born c. 1823/24 in or near Holderbank
   4. Marianna Döbeli, born December 1834 in or near Holderbank

   Generation Two

2. Maria² Döbeli (Johannes¹), born 29 August 1816 at Holderbank, married only months after arriving in America, on 23 November 1843 in Madison County to Johann Christoph Conrad Waage or Conrad Christian Waage (usually appearing as "Christian"), a German Protestant immigrant who arrived in 1836. Christian Waage was born in Dannenberg, Amt Lüneburg, Kingdom of Hannover. Dannenberg is now in the state of Niedersachsen or Lower Saxony, just west of what used to be the border between East and West Germany. According to his immigration file, Christian was born on 09 February 1818, but the only relevant record in the parish church of Dannenberg is for a birth ten years earlier, on 09 February 1808, to Claus Heinrich Waage and Dorothea Elisabeth Meyer, of the Lauben neighborhood of Dannenberg.

   Today one can drive north out of Highland a mile or so to Waage Road, where the old farm is now owned by a Nagels family. Four children survived to adulthood and appear in written records, but three or four more are commemorated on tombstones next to the main family stone in Mundis Cemetery, near the Village of Marine in Marine Township. Their names and dates have partially worn away.

   Christian died without a will on 24 July 1866. His estate was administered jointly by Maria and their son-in-law John Bardill (see no. 5 below). Maria lived in relative prosperity until her death in Marine Township on 17 March 1888.

   Adult children of Maria Döbeli and Christian Waage:

   1. Anna Christina Waage, born 27 August 1847 in Marine Township
   2. Hermann Niklaus Waage, born 28 January 1851 in Marine Township
   3. Sophia Maria Waage, born 11 April 1853 in Marine Township
   4. Heinrich Christian Waage, born 02 May 1855 in Marine Township
   
   

3. Jakob² Döbeli (Johannes¹), a blacksmith, was born about 1820, probably in Holderbank, and died between 1852 and 1855 in Madison County, Illinois. He was married in Saint Louis, Missouri on 07 October 1847 to Emilia Hotz of Östringen, Grand Duchy of Baden, now in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg. Emilia, usually known as Emma, was born on 23 December 1824. She and Jakob had two children; after his death, she married Lorenz Zahner (on 08 March 1855 in Madison County) and had six more children, not listed here. She died on 04 December 1904. I don't know why Jakob and Emma's first child was born in New Orleans; perhaps one of his direct descendants could enlighten me?

   Children of Jakob Döbeli and Emma Hotz:

   1. Jacob Doebele, born 20 March 1849 in New Orleans, Louisiana
   2. Rosa Doebele, born October 1852 in Madison County, Illinois
   
   

4. Verena² Döbeli (Johannes¹) appears in the passenger manifest of the Eliza Thornton, but does not show up again in America. I have found one unexpected lead, though: there is a group of obviously related records on line that show a "Franey Debly" as the mother of Henrietta Washington Deck, a member of the family that gave its name to Deck's Prairie in Madison County, Illinois. The Decks lived in Marine Township, very close to the Döbeli and Waage farmlands. I haven't found any maarriage record for Henrietta's father, Joseph Deck, nor have I found the primary source of this "Franey Debly" spelling; but it must have come from somewhere, and Verena could well have gone by the Swiss nickname Vreni, which is pronounced more or less as "Franey". She also could easily have died before the 1850 census, as did her father. It's not an easy call, but I have finally chosen to include Henrietta and her descendants in this report because I consider it more likely than not that she was indeed the sole daughter of Verena Döbeli. If any proof should surface that she wasn't, I'll remove them all, and if I find (or am given) proof that she was, I'll take out this long-winded caveat.

   Child of Verena Döbeli and Joseph Deck:

   1. Henrietta Washington Deck, born 17 April 1845 in Marine Township
   
   

5. Marianna² Döbeli (Johannes¹), born circa 1835, confusingly appears as Maria or Mary in most records. This is much less problematic after her marriage to farmer Samuel Kleiner on 25 September 1857 in Madison County. In the Eliza Thornton's passenger list, she appears as Anna; possibly she was actually named Maria Anna.

   The Kleiners had a steady series of nine children, after which Samuel promptly died. He was born on 01 February 1833 at Egliswil, Canton Aargau, and died on 04 September 1876 in Madison County. Mary remarried on 20 November 1879 to Joseph Schreiber, and by mid-1880, Mary, Joseph, and all Mary's children had removed to Riley County, Kansas, including the older daughter, Louise, and her husband and two children (see no. 11 below). There is no indication that Joseph had any children of his own.

   Children of Marianna Döbeli and Samuel Kleiner:

   1. Louise Kleiner, born 20 July 1858 on Deck's Prairie in Madison County
   2. Karl Kleiner, born 08 November 1861 on Deck's Prairie
   3. Wilhelm Kleiner, born 15 October 1863 on Deck's Prairie
   4. Hermann Kleiner, born 25 July 1865 on Deck's Prairie
   5. August Kleiner, born 11 August 1867 on Deck's Prairie
   6. Otto Kleiner, born 25 July 1869 on Deck's Prairie
   7. Joseph Kleiner, born 27 December 1871 on Deck's Prairie
   8. Sophia Kleiner, born 10 September 1873 on Deck's Prairie
   9. Emil Kleiner, born 06 October 1875 on Deck's Prairie, died 17 June 1877

   Generation Three

6. Anna Christina³ Waage (Maria² Döbeli, Johannes¹) was born on 27 August 1847 at Marine, and married Johann Bardill in Madison County on 24 May 1866. Johann, or John, served as a joint administrator of Christian Waage's estate alongside Maria Döbeli Waage. Born near Saline on 25 April 1841 (to Josias Bardill and Clara Marcut, both of Davos, canton of Graubünden), John Bardill was a prosperous merchant of dry goods and groceries, and was retired by 1880.

   Children of Anna Christina Waage and Johann Bardill:

   1. Clara Maria Bardill, born 24 October 1867 at Grantfork
   2. Emma Sophia Bardill, born 06 December 1869 at Grantfork

   4. Johann Oskar Bardill, born 18 December 1873 at Grantfork
   
   

7. Hermann Niklaus³ Waage (Maria² Döbeli, Johannes¹), born 28 January 1851, was married to Regina Maas of Germany on 01 January 1884 in Madison County. Regina came to the U.S. when she was a small child. She and Hermann had three children before 1890. The Illinois Statewide Marriage Index lists a second entry for "H.N. Waage" and "Mrs. Regina Moss Waage" on 21 January 1891; the significance of this is unknown. Maybe it refers to a divorce. Hermann died on 26 January 1893. (Regina appears to have had a fourth child, a son born in March 1894; she and this son's father appear not to have been married, and after 1910 he appears to have taken the name Waage in preference over his unknown father's surname — which was apparently Wheete — becoming Merrel Owen Waage.)

   Children of Hermann Waage and Regina Maas:

   1. Georg Christian Waage, born 09 March 1884 at Marine, died 25 July 1884
   2. Louis Johann Waage, born 08 January 1886 at Marine
   3. Ella Louise Rike Waage, born 26 January 1888 at Marine
   
   

8. Sophia Maria³ Waage (Maria² Döbeli, Johannes¹) was born on 11 April 1853, and married Franz Plocher on 15 September 1870 at Highland. Franz was born on 18 August 1845 near Highland, to Samuel Plocher and Barbara Leicht, recent immigrants (1843) from Württemberg, now part of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. As a young man, Franz worked as an assistant in John Bardill's store in Grantfork (see no. 5 above). By 1880, he had a farm of his own near Saline. Sophia died on 04 December 1895 at Highland, and Franz died on 18 July 1898 at or near Saline.

   Children of Sophia Waage and Franz Plocher:

   1. Christian Samuel Plocher, born 24 February 1872

9. Heinrich Christian³ Waage (Maria² Döbeli, Johannes¹), born 02 May 1855, is in English-language records always referred to as Henry. His first marriage was to Elise Gilomen (called Eliza in English), born 07 December 1856 to Niklaus Gilomen and Maria Elisabeth Hirni, both born in Canton Bern and raised near Highland. Henry and Eliza were married on 20 February 1877; she died soon after their fourth anniversary, on 25 February 1881. Henry remarried on 14 March 1882, to Elise Augustine Branger, born on 27 October 1855 to Christian Branger and Elisabeth Iberg. (Elise Augustine is the name on her baptism record, but descendants insist her name was actually Elisabeth Augusta. Either way, though, she appears to have mostly used the name or nickname Elise and its English equivalent, Eliza.) Henry developed a problem with alcohol, and in August 1884, at Elise's insistence, the family moved to Le Roy, Coffey County, Kansas: Kansas was then a "dry" state. Henry died at Le Roy on 04 March 1935, and his obituary indicates that he was well known and well liked in the town. Elise died there on 23 July 1936.

   The circumstances of daughter Esther's death at age 13 are not known to me at this writing.

10. Jacob³ Doebele (Jakob² Döbeli, Johannes¹) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on 20 March 1849, but by the middle of 1850 he and his parents were back in Marine, Illinois. With Jacob's generation the family name reached its customary American spelling and pronunciation (as if Debley). At the age of 21 he was living alone on his own farm in Grantfork, not far from his mother and stepfather. He was married in Madison County on 09 January 1872 to Elisabeth Wiegand, who was born 02 June 1855 at Marine. Jacob and Elisabeth may have lived at Edwardsville in western Madison County (the county seat) before they moved to Hanover, Washington County, Kansas in about 1880. Elisabeth died in Hanover on 05 April 1926, and Jacob also died there on 16 August 1939.

11. Rosa³ Doebele (Jakob² Döbeli, Johannes¹), born in October 1852 in Madison County, Illinois, was married in Madison County to Anton Hurlimann (properly Hürlimann) on 10 January 1870. Anton, a farmer, was born in Switzerland on 25 December 1834 to Bernhard Hürlimann; father and son arrived in the United States in 1854. By 1900, Anton was retired and owned his own house (in a time and place when many were rented). Anton died in Madison County on 07 April 1924, and Rosa died there on 14 August 1925.
