The Mossners of Mäbenberg, MIttelfranken, Kingdom of Bavaria
What has become of the descendants of Johann Matthias Mossner (1732-1804) and his first wife, Appolonia Margaretha Kunlein?
Mossner Origins in Germany
I am searching for descendants of the Mossner family (ies) which originated sometime in the 16th Century or earlier in the Region of Franconia, Germany. Earlier evidence of the Mossner family in this area of Bavaria before Hans Moser (sic) is believed to exist in some late 15th Century German Church records regarding taxes levied or paid to raise and support a standing army in the Kingdom.
The earliest Franconian Mossner of whom I am aware was Hans Moser (sic), born about 1576 in Dixenhausen, Mittelfranken, and later part of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
A fifth generation descendant of Hans Moser was Johann Matthias Mossner (1732-1804) born in Mäbenberg, Mittelfranken, Kingdom of Bavaria. Mäbenberg keeps appearing as the principal location of Mossner family activities in succeeding generations and has led to identifying this family as “The Mossners of Mäbenberg”.
Johann Matthias Mossner was married twice - - - the first time about 1749 to Appolonia Margaretha Kuhnlein (1733-1780) and the second time in 1781 to Eva Marie Rössler (possibly, Nüssler) (b. ca. 1755).
Descendants of Johann Matthias Mossner and his first wife, Appolonia Margaretha Kunlein, have flourished and are believed to have remained mostly in Europe, particularly, in Germany. As late as 1970 and probably to this day, Mossner descendants reside in Mäbenberg.
Descendants of Johann Matthias Mossner and his second wife, Eva Marie Rössler (possibly, Nüssler), have also flourished, but migrated to America - - - including the Mossner patriarch in America, Johann Georg Mossner (1796-1861), who with members of his family emigrated from Mäbenberg, Bavaria to Frankenmuth, Saginaw County, Michigan in the period 1850 through 1854.
A relatively complete genealogy of the Mossner descendants in America was published in 2003, but nothing has been found or published on the descendants of Johann Matthias Mossner and his first wife, Appolonia Margaretha Kunlein, whose descendants appear to have remained mostly in Germany.
I solicit family history information on all early Mossners originating in Germany and Europe and hope we can expand the common knowledge of this clan of families in Europe, America and elsewhere where they have landed. .
