Tenant farmer (Heuerling). This couple had 8 children. Two sons emigrated to the United States in 1881 and 1885.
This marriage has been called into question given that Ernst August Johannsmeyer married Catharine Elisabeth Wortmann. This marriage is based on information supplied by Joaquim Johannsmeyer and is probably wrong - she married a Johannsmeyer, but which one is not certain.
66. Maria Eleonore Johannsmeyer
Evidently never married as she was buried under her maiden name.
Heuersman (day worker). Several children of Catharine and Herman Bohs emigrated to Cass County, Illinois between 1860 and 1880.
46. Johann Clamor Heinrich Johannsmeyer
Evangelical-Lutheran Church Register in Osnabrück lists him as a master carpenter upon his wedding and at his death.
82. Werner Clamor Friedrich Johannsmeyer
For some reason, a witness to the death in the parish registry was Werner Christoph Friedrich von dem Bussche, Major General and Commandant. This gentleman would be associated with the von dem Bussche family of the noble seat at Hünnefeld Castle.
55. Clamor Henrich Johannsmeyer
Clamor Henrich grew up on the family farm, but went to work for Johan Henrich Kaumpt in Wehrendorf. When Herr Kaumpt died, he married his widow, Maria Elisabeth Kaumpt. Given that Clamor Henrich's younger brothers all passed away at an early age, he was allowed to inherit the Johannsmeyer farm in Rattinghausen.
According to grandson and granddaughter stories, Clamor Henrich was appointed a baron by the Italians for raising and selling horses to the Italian Army.
After sons left for America, the mother, Maria Elisabeth Johannsmeyer, gave authority to her
son-in-law, Jobst Friedrich Wulfmann, to sell the property, which he did on 21 January 1878, to Franz Heinrich Clamors, who, by law, assumed the surname of JOHANSMEYER, thereafter to be known as Franz Heinrich Johannsmeyer, the first of the "new" Johannsmeyer's.
Maria Elisabeth pleaded with her sons in America to return to the Germany, after the death of her youngest son of typhus, to claim their inheritance. Given that they had established families and successfuly farms of their own in Kansas that were much larger than the German property, they had no interest in returning to Germany. Thus, the widow gave authority to her son-in-law, Jobst Friedrich Wulfmann of Dahlinghausen, to sell the farm and property in Rattinghausen, and probaby, in Wehrendorf. The Rattinghausen property was sold on 21 January 1878 to Franz Heinrich Clamors. The buyer, by law, assumed the family name and was known thereafter as Franz Heinrich Johannsmeyer. He became the first of the 'new' Johannsmeyers, whose descendants still retain the name and property ownership to the present day.
94. Christian (or Clamor) Heinrich Johannsmeyer
Died of typhus in 1877 in Rattinghausen. He was unmarried.
