We do know that Frutigen was nearly<br>completely destroyed by fire in 1827. History does not suggest religious<br>persecution in Switzerland at that time, nor domination by the military. Can we<br>safely conclude that the reason was pure and simple: economics?</p><p>Why was their destination Tuscarawas County, Ohio in North America? The following<br>background information from the 1908 Centennial History and Atlas of Tuscarawas<br>County, Ohio seems to provide the answers:</p><p>An inquiring mind will welcome information about the people among and for<br>whom the work of the canals was done. The primitive age of the pioneers<br>was gone, yet government land could be bought as late as 1835 within three<br>miles of Tuscarawas County Court House; and such conditions always imply a<br>transitory mode of living. The book by Nicholas Joss affords a graphic<br>view of that time. We have wondered much and asked many questions about<br>the preponderance of Swiss descent in the Tuscarawas Valley until sufficient<br>answer was found in this rare copy. The truth as he saw it about the country<br>and its people was the object of the wise old head teacher in his writing for<br>the instruction of his relatives and friends in Switzerland. He minutely<br>details the experience of the company of thirteen families, through France<br>in wagons which were brought to Tuscarawas, at Paris and Havre, on the ocean<br>and with the prevalent sickness of which he thought he would die, at New<br>York and up the Hudson to Albany in 1831. We learn where they were cheated<br>and how to profit by their example. The Erie canal is described as "360<br>miles or 120 hours long. It is a great thing and said to have cost $83,000,000.<br>They went ashore at 9 A.M. and at 2 P.M. while the horses were fed, to build<br>their thirteen fires to cook their food. He also artlessly notes that the<br>Swiss costume of the women attracted the French–especially the lace on their<br>caps; and that the ladies of the company were much admired–and so are their<br>graddaughters. From Cleveland, after paying 1 cent a mile for each grown<br>person and one hundred pounds of baggage, and ½ cent a mile for each child<br>under twelve years, and nothing for children under six, and 25 cents for each<br>hundred weight of extra baggage, two canal boats brought them down state<br>to their destination. In these journeys, not one was found who wished to<br>return to Switzerland.</p><p>One thing he expecially liked in America: "None are more or less honored<br>than others. All are respected alike if they are but clean." And thus the<br>advice was continued through seventy pages that persuaded tens of thousands<br>to come to America.</p><p>In 1818 John Burri (anglicized to Burry, as was Burran) of Frutigen, married<br>Catherine Harri from Adelboden, Switzerland and in 1832 that family emigrated to<br>Tuscarawas County, Ohio.</p><p>On May 9, 1805 Christian Jungen, Sr., married Sara Burran of Adelboden, and in<br>July of 1835, the Jungen Family set sail from the Havre Port of Embarkation, on<br>the Ship Albany, and arrived at the Port of New York on September 19th.</p><p>The Hager Family from Adelboden, Switzerland was on that same ship, and in the fall of 1835, Anna Hager, age 21, married Abraham Jungen, age 23, at Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio.</p><p>Page 62<br>FAMILIES FROM SWITZERLAND<br>TROXELL Canton Bern<br>YOUNGEN Frutigen, Canton Bern 1835<br>ZIMMERMAN Wattenwyl, Cantton Bern 1832</p><p>"********************************************************************<br>INDEX TO APPLICATIONS AND NATURALIZATIONS<br>TUSCARAWAS COUNTY OHIO 1819-1854</p><p>JUNGEN<br>Abraham 6/144<br>Christian Jr. 6/144<br>Christian Sr. 6/144<br>********************************************************<br>TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO<br>GENERAL INDEX TO PROBATE RECORDS 1888-1917<br>VOLUME 2, PART 3, O-Z<br>TUSCARAWAS COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY<br>AUGUST 1998</p><p>YOUNGEN Abraham 3214 Civil Docket Number 6 Page 254 Valuation<br>YOUNGEN Daniel 6727 Docket Number 12 Page 122 Will<br>********************************************************</p><p>"********************************************************************<br>HISORICAL ATLAS, TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO 1875 AND 1908.<br>977.166 E3<br>By Judge J.W. Yeagley</p><p>Christian Youngen, born January 12, 1786, married Sarah Burry in 1811 and lived in Frutigen, Canton Bern, Switzerland. Sarah Burry was of the family mentioned on page 90. Christian and Sarah Youngen were the parents of Abraham, Christian, Elizabeth, Susanna and John, born while living at Frutigen, whence, after a voyage of sixty-three days, they came to Columbiana County, Ohio, in 1834, and in 1836, to Ragersville. Abraham Youngen, born January 7, 1812, was married in 1834 to Anna Hager, daughter of Stephen Hager who was a school teacher in Adelboden, Canton Bern, where he married and had six children: Stephen, Anna, Margaret, Mary, Elizabeth and Catherine. Anna Hager, born July 4, 1814, camne with her mother, brother and sisters on the same ship with the Youngen family. She died April 30, 1901. The Youngens were among the early settlers of Auburn Townlship, where they helped to establish the Reformed Church at Rageersville. The men of the family assisted in the musical part of the services with brass instruments similar to a slide trombone, which they had brought from Switzerland, and upon which they played the psaltry and chords. This was especially so while preaching was done in the school houses and at the homes. Abraham and Anna Youngen were the parents of Abraham deceased in infancy., Magdaline, Sarah, Frederick, Christian, Susanna, John, Elizabeth, Jacob, Daniel and Abraham; and they started housekeeping with less than nothing, for, as Abraham often said, he landed in New York in debt for his passage money. But they had a wealth of health and rugged determination. They bought their land of the Government at Zanesville and moved in to the woods of LAuburn Township. Abraham worked throught the day as a shoemaker and in his clearing at night by the light of the log fires often lpiled with brush by his faithful wife; and thus they changed their lodge in the wildern3ess into a scene of waving grain and fruitful orchards. They were ever ready with help for the needy, and they always placed honesty above the dollar, yet they left a hundred and fifty acres to a family trained in thrifty ways. Their son, Jaqcob Youngen, born December 29, 1852, on March 23, 1876, was married to Anna C. Hisrich, daughter of Simon and Barbara Specht Hisrich. Simon Hisrich, born October 28, `828, in Hesse Kassel, was the son of Henry and Anna Kraft Hisrich. Henry Hisrich died in 1841, in Germany. Anna Kraft Hisrich died in 1871, in Canal Dover whither she had followed her son, Simon who emigrated in 1848. He located as a tailor ion Wheeling and, on July 6, 1850, married Barbara Specht born January 1, 1830, in Bavaria. Barbara came with her parents, Karl and Anna C. Denzer Specht, in 1846, and died March 23, 1899, and Simon Hisrich died December 25, 1907. They were the parents of Anna C., Henry S., Lizzie, deceased, William C., Simon C., Edward G., Herman A., John E., deceased, and Jacob H. Anna S. Hisrich, born May 1, 1852 in Wheeling, came to Ragersville in 1860, with her parents. Jacob and Anna C. Youngen are the parents of Amelia L., Otto L., Simon L., Robert A., Julius R., Henry O., Nettie A., Jacob E., and Wilbert E. deceased in infancy. Amelia A. married Jacob Renner, a prosperous farmer of Auburn Township, and has two sons, Clayton and Dorren. Otto L. married Emma Goedel and is superintendent of the Dover Township Schools. Simon I. married Grace Bess of Rosemond, Illinois, where he is a telegraph operator. Robert A. has been a teacher for six years and is an insurance agent in New Philadelphia. Julius R. is a farmer. Henry O. is a clerk for the Penn Iron and Coal Company, of Canal Dover. The others are at home. Jacob Youngen has always lived in Auburn Township where he was a teacher for twenty seven years and where he is President of the Board of Education. He is a member of the Reformed Church of which he has been organist for nearly forty years.</p><p>**********************************************************************************<br>********************************************************************<br>NAME OF VESSELSHIP ALBANY<br>PORT OF EMBARKATION HAVRE<br>DATE OF ARRIVAL SEPTEMBER 19, 1835<br>NUMBER 705</p><p>DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK<br>I, E.
