Hempen family Breese, Illinois/ Germantown, Illinois to Williamson County, Texas

Karin4467 — 2014-05-19 19:08:42Z

After posting the picture I found of baby Frances Hempen, I reas through some of the posts on this board and was shocked to see that at least some Hempen families migrated from the HAnnover area of Germany to Breese, Illinois, then on to Williamson County Texas (Corn Hill, Walburg, Taylor, La Grange, Schwertner). From there I see Hempens traveling to Dimmitt, Texas and then Miles and San Angelo, Tome Green County, Texas. I am interested in trading notes with anyone whose family followed this path.

I am related to Gerhard Book, born in Bartelso/ Germantown, Ilinois who later lived in Corn Hill, Williamson County, Texas.

We wondered why he made the choice to move to Williamson County, but it is evident from the posts here that these families traveled together from place to place. An interesting find for me!

Frances Cecilia Hempen Lefner

This is a picture of Frances Cecilia Hempen, 1916-1997. She is the baby in the white dress. She was the daughter of August Hempen and Ella Schwertner of Williamson County, TX. She was probably born in Corn Hill or Walburg, Texas.

For some reason, Frances was raised by Gerhard Book and Franziska "Frances" Blumerich Heubner Schwertner Book. Frances Book was the grandmother of Frances Hempen.

I am hoping to share this picture with the descendents of Frances Hempen.

Hello Michael, I am related to the Hempen line and have quite a few Hempen names in my database. Unfortunately, I do not have your Dad's or his brother Ed's name. If there is any way you can find out from other members of your family or relatives more information about your family tree that would greatly help me in finding out if our Hempen lines are related to each other. I am sure they probably are but I would need more information about your family to know for sure. If you are interested, please contact me at my private email which is jackmckinley@juno.com.

I have quite a bit of Hempen info. Some of it is missing connections which I believe must exist.

I know my Hempen family came from the Hannover area (that is the spelling in the old Census records). I also know that they had relatives in Breese / Carlyle Illinois. Because my family used to go there to visit. Unfortunately I was such a small child I do not remember any of the names.

Mine were here in the 1860s because Henry married in St. Louis in 1864. His adopted son, John took the name Hempen and was married as a Hempen although he was born Schniederalbers. His birth father had died when John was very young. Henry Hempen married his birth mother and raised John.

I know Henry worked for a Sugar Mill and John worked for the Railroad. These Hempens were Catholic. There were evidently some Hempens who were Evangelical Lutheran as well in the St. Louis area.

Please feel free to contact me off list about Hempen data if you would like.

thank you for your reply. The only other thing I found out is that my grandfathers name is Edward Paul Hempen (which is the full name of my uncle as well.) I was also told that my great grand father was 1/2 cheroke from his mother. I could not find out his name but from what I've been told he looked more full blooded than half. I hope this helps and thank you.

Hello, my name is Michael Allen Hempen. My father, Terrill Allen Hempen and his brother Ed, were born in southern Il. My father was born on Dec. 21st 1941. I am just starting to try to find info on family. Any info you might have, as to wether or not these are your relatives, would be helpful as I have no information on my family history other than my fathers name,date of birth, and general location of birth. Thank you and have good day.

Dear Connie,
My mother's maiden name is Hempen and she was born in Carlyle. Her father was Bernard Hempen and Antonia was his sister. Mom said that Antonia's daughter's son-in-law was doing a family tree. If you need any info, you can contact me and I'll ask mom or the rest of my aunt's and uncle's in Carlyle. Just saw many of them last Sat. at my niece's wedding. Uncle Paul Hempen just celebrated his 80th on the 20th of August. Waiting to hear from you.

redwingal1 — 2001-11-27 01:24:03Z

If anyone is researching the name Gerhard Hempen, 1860-1908, who emigrated from Germany to Nebraska please contact me. I found a package of old immigration papers, passport, etc. at an antique store. I didn't purchase it but thought I would post this query if anyone is interested. There are a lot of papers, almost his life history. I would love to find his family, as this is surely a find! Please contact me by e-mail.

Re: Harry Hempen

We are related! I too have been searching for other Hempen relatives. My Grandfather, Joseph, was Harry's younger brother and Ann (Anna)'s twin brother. His father was John Hempen and Elizabeth Eufinger (not sure of that spelling).

Please contact me at rbozzay@earthlink.net!

Hempen

glass600 — 2002-05-05 13:44:32Z

Hi! My name is Laura Bozzay. My grandfather was Joseph Hempen. He had a brother named Harry. Their father was John and mother was named Elizabeth (we think her maiden name was Ulfinger but I would not count on that spelling). I don't know if my great grandfather was from St. Louis or not. I don't even know if my grandfather was born here but I know he met and married my grandmother here in St. Louis, Missouri.

If you think there might be some connection please let me know. I can be reached at rbozzay@earthlink.net

I plan to do some indepth research here in St. Louis in the next month or two so I may have more information about the Hempen family here at that time. I do have Ellis Island records of all Hempens but I do not see a name that connects yet for me there.

I understand that my Hempen family (John T, Helena (parents), Harry, Joseph, Anna Hempen Lang, and Lily Hempen had relatives in the Breese, IL area. Does anyone know who those Hempens might have been? Joseph and Anna were born in 1894 they were the middle children and twins. Would love to hear from someone with the Breese, IL Hempen connections.

JHSeeley — 2001-07-31 03:35:53Z

My paternal great-grandmother was named Meta Hempen and was from Zwischenenahn, Germany. (near Oldenburg) She came to the U.S. with her brother, Gerat and settled in Iowa in about 1888. If anyone has any information about her family, I would appreciate hearing from you. She married Frank Husemoller and I believe had relatives named "Eickmeyer."
Her parents and most of her siblings remained in Germany and I assume their descendents are still there.
