Notes

An Anabaptist exiled to Germany in 1671, in 1672 at Ibersheim at age 81.

Notes from George Shank's research:

" Michael Sr. lived at Hinton in the village of Eggiwil, where all of his children were born. He was among the large group of Anabaptists that were expelled from Emmenthal Valley in October 1671. Among these were his son Michael Jr. and his daughter Barbara and their families. According to the Anabaptist refugee list dated 1 Jan 1672, he was living in Ibersheim, Pfalz, Germany (about 8 miles north of Worms, on the west bank of the Rhein River). It appears that he was 81 years old at the time. Also, he may have had as many as 17 children. Of those, at least three were Anabaptist; Michael Jr, Barbara, and Johannes. Michael Jr. was referred to as "his obedient son" and was with him in Ibersheim. His daughter Barbara and her husband returned to Eggiwil, Switzerland within a year. Johannes appears never to have left Switzerland."
