Carl Wilhelm Huthsteiner – in French language Charles Guillaume Huthsteiner – became the only one who migrated to France during a time when Germans saw France as a natural enemy. His descendant Marcel had a bicycle business in Paris, which was set under state administration during the first world war .
A young guy, Martin Hutstein, descendant of the catholic Hutsteiner families in Westphalia-Hesse went to England and married an English girl named Mary Ann Kenrick in London. He was working as a tailor and lived with his family in Bristol. Obviously he made his fortune and founded a large family and business there.
Martin Hutstein, a guy of the catholic Hutsteiner families in Westphalia-Hesse went to England and married an English girl from London named Mary Ann Kenrick. He was working as a tailor and lived with his wife and 11 children in Bristol. Obviously he made his fortune there as he founded some tailor business there.
It is still unknown what circumstances brought Martin to the UK. According some court records in state’s archive of Hesse he left the country Hesse-Nassau around November 1813 as a tailor journeyman on tour – stated by his brothers and sisters. This would have been shortly before final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, i.e. perhaps he moved with allied soldiers to England after their battle at Waterloo. He came to England in the year 1814 as claimed in the denization document.
In 1833 his relatives claimed his part of their parents’ heritage. Therefore the local court issued a official search in local newspapers, which obviously did not reach him.
During my very first internet search mid of 1990s for any Hutstein surname, the only one who popped up was Martin stating that he lived in the 1850s on Bristol. What a surprise.
There are known descendants, but unfortunately not with our surname anymore.
Attached denization documents about Martin:
In 1848 the first Huthsteiner from Hessen-Nassau emigrated to the US.
Georg Friedrich Eduard Huthsteiner – called ‘Edward’ – and his wife Marie Caroline Achenbach became the ancestors of most living Huthsteiners in the US.
His son Gustav Jacob Huthsteiner – photo – migrated with his parents from Prussia to Cincinnati, OH., USA ~ 1862 and then proceeded to Tell City, IN. A couple of years later he married Pauline Carolyn Weber and resided in Tell City, Perry County, Indiana. After his 1st wife’s death, Gustave had a 2nd marriage to Louisa Ludwig and 5 more children. After Gustave died, his son, Robert Edward Huthsteiner, moved his step-mother, Louisa and her children to Schenectady, NY, where some of Robert’s brothers had moved for employment opportunities with General Electric and American Automotive. Schenectady also offered a good college for the boys and a private school for Helen. This is how the Louisa Ludwig Huthsteiner side of the family became Easterners in NY. Later, Robert Edward Huthsteiner, returned to Indiana. (from Ted Huthsteiner site: www.huthsteiner.org).
A little bit later another young guy went to the US: Ernst Emil Friedrich Carl Huthsteiner, called ‘Ernst’ or ‘Ernest’. Finally he settled in Jersey city.
Interesting, the two families – quite close related – did not know about each other until Ernst’ daughter Louise got a letter from E.G. Huthsteiner, wondering about coincidence of their surname. Just have a look to Ted Huthsteiner site for more info and the letter of E.G. Huthsteiner to Louise Huthsteiner.
(this post covers parts of the autobiography of Louis Huthsteiner, especially the part of the emigration of his grandfather Georg Friedrich Eduard Huthsteiner)
Georg Friedrich Eduard Huthsteiner, emigrated from Freudenberg in Westphalia, Germany, to USA, Cincinnati, with a group of Swiss emigrants at the time of Austrian- Swiss troubles in 1848. They founded the town Tell City named after the swiss hero Wilhelm Tell.
