!The earliest records for this family come from Helen Repair Cox, 1205 South Drive, St. Charles, MO, 63301 last heard from in 1980. There is also an unsigned, undated excerpt (pages 62-64) sent to me by Mrs. Cox titled, "Christian Minnir, Immigrant 1st(?) Generation; Christianus, 2nd(?) Generation," containing background from the early 1700s. The family constellation is that given by Mrs. Cox which she documents with the follow- ing:
Records at Evangelical Parish House, Mannheim, Germany.
Birth records, KB II, p. 408.
Death records, KB Michelstadt II, p. 803.
Marriage records, Jugelfinger, Book III, p. 64.
Details on this first documentation can be found in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, June 1954, page 67-68 in an article by Mrs. Frank E.
Finch, "The Minier Family in Germany."
According to the unsigned document, Wilhelm was living in Germany as early as 1703 at the wedding of his son, Christian, though conjecture assumed they were French Huguenots. Willhelm was an armorer in the service of the County of Hohenlohe at Ernstback in the Odenwald, a region just east of the Rhine River where the Neckar meets the Rhine near Heidelberg in 1703. The article further identifies Willhelm as the great grandfather of Christian Minier, the first settler in Big Flats, Chemung County, NY.
