1211	Jack grew up in towns along the Texas-Mexico border and graduated from El Paso High School, where he played the trumpet and was a member of the tennis team. He then began studying chemistry at Texas Western College of Mining (now UTEP), where he met his future wife Reva. He enlisted in the Navy during WWII and served as a radar technician on a destroyer in the Pacific. After the war he completed his BS in Chemistry in 1947. Jack earned his PhD in organic chemistry at Cornell University in 1950. He spent 1950-51 as a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at University College, London, working with Sir Christopher Ingold. From 1951-52 he worked with Paul Bartlett as a Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard. He joined the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University in 1952 as an instructor and became a full professor in 1960. From 1959-60 he held a Sloan Research Fellowship, and he was a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar at the University of Zagreb in 1985. He was recognized as one of the world's experts on solvolysis and elimination reaction mechanisms, using isotope effects on reaction rates to study and elucidate basic mechanisms in chemical and biochemical reactions. Jack made major contributions to Indiana University in teaching and administration. In addition to the many students who have received advanced degrees under his tutelage, he actively pursued innovative approaches to the education of non-chemistry majors. He served as Chairman of the Department of Chemistry twice, once from 1962-67, a period of unprecedented growth in the department, and again from 1982-88, to supervise the construction of the new chemistry complex. He also served with distinction as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1973-78. He loved traveling, gardening, sports cars, and was a wine enthusiast. With his wife Reva, he appreciated and patronized the theater and fine arts, in particular activities of the National Society of Arts and Letters, and the Bloomington playwrights project.

1212	Jack's family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi when he was very young. His youth was a simple life on the Gulf Coast until his father passed away leaving a large family. They moved to San Antonio, Texas to be near family. He attended Hawthorne Junior High where he played football and other sports. He delivered newspapers to help support the family, but he had to quit school in the tenth grade in order to help with family expenses. Jack worked in the automobile parts business his entire life. He enjoyed yard work, even in his 80s, liked fishing on the Gulf, swimming, and gardening. He also enjoyed family gatherings, which included fishing and picnicking. He also loved to travel and had be from coast to coast.	BESSELLIEU, Jack Williams (I18148)
1213	Jacob became a citizen of the United States in November 1855, one month before marrying Dorothy Bengener. His citizenship papers and confirmation certificate show his date and place of birth as well as the names of his parents. His name first appears on the 1853 tax rolls for Travis County,Texas. He had no real property, but paid a state tax of 50 cents and a county tax of 25 cents. He did not appear on the 1854 tax roll, but appeared again on the 1855 list with property valued at $200 in Austin, and by 1856 vallued at $1000. He appears on the 1860 census for Travis County listing his occupation as a tailor. Ads for his shop appeared in the local newspapers. Research suggests that Jacob came from Germany with his mother Catherine and a brother named Christian, but the details are still sketchy. What became of his father and whether or not he had any other siblings is still not known. In 1884 Dorothy received a divorce from Jacob. The papers accuse him of excessive drinking and physical abuse. He contested the divorce and stated that he did not want one. The decree was granted and lists a fair amount of personal and real property to be divided. William Sr. and Emma were full grown. Jacob G. went originally to live with his father and Lena went with her mother. It has been said that Jacob G. went back and forth between his mother and father. After the divorce it appears that Jacob lost most everything, although it is not clear exactly how. He was listed on various censuses as living in several different locations, usually as a boarder. He seemed to have distanced himself from the rest of the family. He is not listed in the 1887 City Directory of Austin nor is he listed in the 1900 City Directory. In 1905 he is living with his son Jacob G., and he is not listed in the 1910 City Directory. On the 1900 census he is listed as living with a Luther Holt, a bachelor. He died in 1911 after a lingering illness, according to his obituary. He is supposed to be buried in Austin Oakwood Cemetery. His name is listed in the log book, but the lot and plot were never recorded. An extensive search through the cemetery both through the books and by walking through the plots have never been successful in finding his grave. He mother Catherine is buried in the same cemetery, but he is not anywhere around her.	HORNBERGER, Jacob C. (I12495)
1214	Jacques Jessé’s godparents were Jessé Bertrand and Susanne Garlin Bouissont.	JARRY, Jacques Jessé (I14159)
1215	James completed school in Clarksville, Texas, where he learned to play the clarinet and saxophone. He joined other musicians and played gigs all over the county. He thought he wanted to be a professional musician, and entered Hardin-Simmons College at Abilene, Texas, where he became a member of their Cowboy Band. The following summer James went with the band on a vaudeville tour of northeast Europe. They played at the Hippodrome in New York, on the steamship Leviathan, for the crossing and back, at the Palladium in London and other areas of northeast Europe. It was during this trip that James decided he did not want to a professional musician and entered the University of Texas that Fall intending to major in chemistry. He received a PhD in 1941 and was a part time instructor in chemistry from five years. His frequent use of the library led him to meet Helene and eventually the rest of the von Rosenberg family. His first introduction to the family was an invitation to a German style meal prepared by Helene’s mother. As the trips to Helene’s home became more frequent, family and friends would often join in an evening of chamber music. After finishing school, they moved to Baytown, Texas where James had a job as research chemist with Humble (Exxon) Oil & Refining Company, which he had for 33 years. Toward the end of James’ professional career, he became a registered member of the Piano Tuners Guild. He worked as a part-time tuner both before and after his official retirement.	DINWIDDIE, James Alvin (I12751)
1216	James Thomas Carter began studying medicine by 1872. That year he and Hiram Craig of Brenham ended up in Sweet Home, Texas, where they hired out to George West, the rancher, to help gather a herd of 1,500 to 2,000 steers for the trail to Kansas. As there were no pens to hold the cattle, they had to herd them day and night. Although the work was severe, they stayed with the herd until they were on the trail. They then came home to Washington County and J. T. resumed his studies. He graduated with a medical degree from Tulane University and returned home to establish a practice in Warrenton, Texas, in the late 1870s. He married Henrietta Tiemann in 1881 and they soon moved to Walhalla. J. T. set up his office next the house and began a career that would span more than fifty years. He practiced medicine until the late 1920s when he was struck with cancer. He died at his home at the age of 75.	CARTER, Dr. James Thomas (I3624)
1217	Janice Kay was less than two years old when her father left her mother. She hardly knew her dad and saw him only when he visited her grandparents. She saw him about three times in her youth. Her mother raised her two children alone for about 12 years when she remarried. Jan feels that William Taylor was a good influence in her life and was good to both the kids. During her teen years she attended school and worked after school and on Saturdays in the family furniture business in Roswell. She graduated from high school in 1969. After graduation she attended Eastern New Mexico University for two years where she met her future husband. After her husband finished his tour of duty for the Army, they moved back to Roswell where Janice returned to work at the furniture store while Sherald worked for an independent auto repair shop. After the birth of her second child, Janice became a homemaker until her stepfather passed away. She returned to the family business to help her mother and took over all the responsibilities her stepfather left.	PENNINGTON, Janice Kay (I4)
1218	Janie, with her sisters, was engaged from an early age in the social affairs of which her parents were a part. She learned about business from her father and his operations, and she learned about household affairs and the fine arts from her mother. She and her husband, Fred, lived at Round Top where she helped him in the ranching and farming businesses.	VOGELSANG, Eugenia Emma (I10171)
1219	Jaques was presented for holy baptism by Jaques Cordelier, the godfather, and by Renée Doit, the godmother.	GARLIN, Jaques (I14313)
1220	Jay legally changed his name from Stephen James Botkoski.	STEVENS, Jay P. (I13691)
1221	Jean Charles’s godparents were Charles Garlin and Susanne Garlin Bouissont.	JARRY, Jean Charles (I14160)
1222	Jean Charles’s godparents were Jean Jessé Jarry his uncle and Esther Sara Jarry his aunt.	JARRY, Jean Charles (I14162)
1223	Jean Jessé’s godparents were Jessé Bertrand and Susanne Bouisson.	JARRY, Jean Jessé (I14132)
1224	Jean Mathieu’s godparents were his father and Elisabeth Barett née Grubert.	FALIÈS, Jean Mathieu (I14140)
1225	Jean Pierre’s godparents were grandparents, Pierre Bonnet and Marie Bosek.	FALIÈS, Jean Pierre (I14154)
1226	Jean Pierre’s godparents were Jean Bouissont, merchant, and Susanne Laquot née Bouissont his wife.	FALLIER, Jean Pierre (I13388)
1227	Jean Pierre’s godparents were Jean Pierre Platz, merchant, and Judith Benézet née Gouriou.	JARRY, Jean Pierre (I14168)
1228	Jean Pierre’s marriage record indicates that he was a native of Landsberg, Ostprueßen, Germany (now Górowo Ilaweckie (Bartoszyce), Olsztyn, Poland), and that he was residing there when he married. His death record indicates that he was born in Sorau, Brandenburg, Germany (now Zary, Poland). Church records for that period of time in Sorau are not available through the Family History Center. An examination of the Evangelisch church records at Landsberg may shed some light on this contradiction. At this time the birth in Sorau seems the most probable with his residence in Landsberg at the time of his marriage plausible.	FALLIER, Jean Pierre (I9605)
1229	Jean was presented for baptism by Jean Lagier and Izabeau Julien, daughter of Toriel Julien of Menglas.	ROLLAND, Jean (I14276)

1242	Jo was considered a tomboy and enjoyed active sports, camping and dancing in her youth. She attended the University of Washington during World War II after which she accepted a job outside of Fairbanks, Alaska where she met Rudy. In 1955, they returned to Washington and purchased a waterfront home on Bainbridge Island. Jo raised the children on Bainbridge while Rudy, a construction superintendent, worked many overseas jobs. The many separations resulted in dissolution of the marriage of 22 years. Jo was active in volunteer work with the Cub Scouts, Brownies and a hospital guild. When the children were teenagers, Jo returned to school and received both teaching and librarian certificates. She worked as a junior high school librarian from 1969 until she retired in 1985. She now lives in the Tumwater/Olympia area of Washington. She is an avid gardener, enjoys water color painting, participates in a book club, and environmental group and spends a month in Hawaii each winter.	WEEKS, Josephine (I18027)
1243	Jo, as she preferred to be called, attended school in Ammansville and La Grange. She was talented and loved exploring new frontiers. She worked in a tailor's shop as an alterationist while her husband served in World War II. Jo was up for a good challenge including working in the slaughter house or milking in the dairy. She liked sewing and cooking and loved pets, especially her Pekingese, Pepper. Managing the rock shop and fishing were just two of the things she and George enjoyed doing together. They also liked taking long drives in the countryside.	MUNKE, Josephine (I13876)
1244	Johanna Dorothea Froelich was born in Tilsit, East Prussia. Her father was the Pfarrer Christoph Froelich, a devout churchman and very prominent in that town. He died when she was ten years old. Christoph Froelich had just become a teacher and rector in Memel when he married Johann Dorothea Veithofer in 1793. He lived only fourteen years longer, leaving three children whose ages in 1807 were Christoph thirteen, Johanna ten, and Reinhold six. Christoph soon began his studies in medical school in Koenigsberg; his life was filled with hardships which caused much sadness to his widowed mother. Little Hannchen lived at home but also spent much time with her Uncle George Froelich and the Aunt Dorothea (Ogilvie) at their beautiful home "Aschoff Estate" near Memel. At Aschoff many children of the family were often invited on weekends to visit Hans, Herman and Heinrich. It was called the "Tummel Platz" of the families' children. Johanna Dorothea's younger brother, Reinhold, was reared by his mother's beloved stepsister. They spared nothing in the care of this boy and for his education. This Reinhold was the grandfather of the man who published the "Familie Froelich" in 1909. After finishing at the university he served a year in the army, and soon thereafter his uncle died. Then his mother, the Frau Pfarrer Froelich, and his aunt, the Frau Pfarrer Holdschue, bought the estate Paul-Narmund and called young Reinhold to manage it. He soon married Carolina Allbrecht and had then the opportunity to buy back her family estate Collaten, which had been lost by her father after a war. He bought it for only 12,000 marks, the value being 200,000 marks. This estate was near Paul-Narmund, so he managed both. The home at Collaten was very large. They invited four of Carolina's sisters to live with them and also Tante Holdschue when she was very old. The teacher Schiemann, an old friend of Pfarrer Christoph Froelich in earlier years, was invited to live at Paul-Narmund with the Grandmother Froelich as tutorfor all the grandchildren who spent years at a time with her. Here they had a lovely schoolroom and all the children from neighboring estates such as Eckiten, Colaten and Bertulischken attended. They owed much to this fine man for all the good he inspired in their young minds. Christoph, the young doctor, married Eleonore von Rosenberg; she brought with her the "Gut" or estate, Bertulischken, the very old von Rosenberg home (possibly Raddeilen). It was later lost by fire, and they suffered many other reverses. Little Hannchen Froelich married Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg of Eckitten, and died after seven years of marriage, leaving two sons and one daughter. She was buried in the church-yard at Collaten Estate, the old Froelich burial grounds. Johanna was twenty-nine at the time of her death, which six weeks after the birth of Johannes. The children were then cared for by Grandmother Froelich at Paul-Narmund, and their uncles at Aschoff and Reinhold at Collaten. For years a fine family life centered around these homes. Every Wednesday was family day at Paul-Narmund with Grandmother Froelich; all the relatives came no matter what the weather. If it rained they walked, as the roads were too bad for vehicles. Every Sunday all went to Collaten to be with Uncle Reinhold and Tante Carolinnchen. Eckitten was farther away, but Hannchen's children were always sent for after they again lived at home with their father and stepmother, Amanda. The birthdays were always grand affairs when all the neighbors were invited. Long tables were arranged in their beautiful gardens, children played games on the lawns, and all had a merry time. This Grandmother Froelich remembered the children of her daughter Hannchen in her will so that each received his share in his mother's part of her estate. She asked that "der Rosenberg and Amanda" take care of the money for young Johannes, as Wilhelm and Hannchen were older and could take care of their own. The three children of Johanna Froelich von Rosenberg's brother Christoph and his wife Eleonore were double cousins of Johanna's children who later immigrated to Texas, with their father and stepmother. One of these double cousins, Libussa, was adopted by Peter Carl and Amanda and came to Texas with them. Adolph and Gustav Froelich, Libussa's brothers, came later. Libussa, who lived in Hallettsville in her old age, had in her possession two lovely keepsakes from her Aunt Hannchen: a dainty cap, crocheted of linen thread, worn by baby Johannes at his christening in 1826, and her autograph album. These were very graciously given to Alma von Rosenberg Tomlinson after her death.	FROELICH, Johanna Dorothea (I3863)
1245	Johanna lived in Round Top, Texas, for over sixty years after arriving there with her family from Evergreen Farm. She was a homemaker who enjoyed engaging in many kinds of needlework during her leisure time. She raised canaries, had a flower garden, and helped her husband with the vegetable garden and orchard, from which she canned vegetables and made preserves and jellies. She had two sons, Fritzie was born partially paralyzed, and Otto, who died on the day of his birth. About 1906 her husband Otto was diagnosed with cancer of the tongue. She nursed him until his death in 1907. That left her alone to care for Fritzie for another thirteen years. In 1926 she moved to La Grange to live with her sister Hulda. However, shortly afterward she became ill. She was bedridden for several years until her death in 1935.	VON ROSENBERG, Johanna Carolina (I3952)
1246	Johanna’s mother married Friedrich Ernst after the death of Johanna’s father. Friedrich rented land to the Groos family during their first year in Texas. This is how Johanna met her husband, Adolph Groos.	BREY, Johanna (I12587)
1247	Johanne Geipel was married to a Klinger before her marriage to Edouard Fallier.	GEIPEL, Johanne Juliane Henriette Friedérike (I9611)
1248	Johannes was born at the Eckitten Estate. When he was a few weeks old, his mother died. The Veithofer-Froelich grandmother immediately took him and raised him until his father remarried. He was schooled at the Paul-Narmund Estate and was mobilized in the National Guards of East Prussia after having received his education. After serving his term in the Guards, he became a Sergeant Major in the infantry. He held no fond feelings for the Germany he left in 1849 as evidenced in an letter he wrote his favorite cousin, Lottchen von Holty in Germany. “As the news came to me in Saxony, where I was Oekonomie Inspector at the age of twenty-three that our beautiful Eckitten was, to my notion, squandered by being sold at a loss, and that many unpleasantries were happening to my family, and also with much disagreeable and disturing news from my beloved Litthauen, my life was so embittered that I left for America with the vow never to be heard from again in Germany. Now it is nearly thirty years since, and this is the first letter that I send across the ocean; I never received one either and never cared to read one that did come; but as you, dear cousin, would like to know something about each of us, I shall write now to please you.” Johannes married shortly after arriving in Texas. They lived on a farm that was a part of the Nassau Plantation in Fayette County. He had cultivated that land while boarding with his sister, Hannchen Hellmuth. He later bought a farm at Evergreen in Washington County. After the Civil War began, he and his older brother William served together in the Engineer’s Corps in East Texas. After his return from the war he gave up farming, moved into Round Top, and resided there until his wife died in 1894. There he began a mercantile business and an inn which was well known to travelers. After the death of his wife he retired and moved in with his two unmarried daughters, Hulda and Wilhelmine. Johannes was said to be a charming but quiet man who was sweet and gentle. As for a hobby, it was the same in Texas as it had been at Eckitten: raising pigeons.	VON ROSENBERG, Johannes Carl (I3881)
1249	John Crofford was a widower with grown children at the time he married Erna Hellmuth Wilson. He died in the early 1930s.	CROFFORD, John F. (I12569)
1250	John enjoyed baseball and followed the Seattle ball club on radio and television. He had less interest in schoolwork, and was bothered by the likelihood of mandatory military service as war conditions continued. He joined the Coast Guard during the Korean War, serving in Alaska and Seattle. Afterwards, he attended Lynnfield College in McMinneville, Oregon for a year and then worked briefly for a title insurance company. John loved the beauty and simple life of the Hood Canal where the family spent their summers. He enjoyed working at odd jobs, especially for friends. His outboard motor was his greatest pleasure. The motor failed him and he suffered either a heart attack or stroke while attempting to restart the motor manually. He was 31 years old at the time of his death.	JENNER, John Edward (I18064)
