Generation One of Validated Lampman Information -- Peter Landtmann and Johann Caspar Lambmann

Peter Landtmann (1010)

Peter Landtmann (1010) was born in 1678 in Gedern, Germany. Peter Landtmann (1010) received a permit for the sum of "ten gulden", to go to Stockheim on July 7, 1698 to visit and marry his future wife on July 20th, 1798 at Dudelsheim Parish. Catharina was born on January 6th, 1665, which made her thirteen years older than Peter.

Catharina was baptized on January 1st, 1665 in Bleichenbach Parish. Catharina Degman, Peter's only wife was married previously to Conradt Frikk who died October 24, 1692 at the age of 37. Catharina and Conradt had two sons in their marriage, which did not make the voyage to America. Peter was a known communicant and church member at Gedern in 1693 according to parish records.

Peter Landtmann (1010) was the first family of known Lampmans who immigrated to the Carolina's ie. American Colonies. We know it today as the America. Peter (1010), his wife Catherina and their two sons Johann Peter (1011) and Johann Caspar Lampman (1128) received permission to immigrate to America on August 31st, 1709. Count Carl A. Graf Ysenburg gave permission for twenty some Germans to immigrate. One of those was Peter Landtmann (1010); others were neighbors such as Johann Conradt, H. Windecker, J. Deppich, Johann Deckmann's sons and Johann Windecker to name a few in the Stockheim Court records, Germany. And immigrate they did. It is amazing that any of them survived. There were ten ships, which initially brought about 2000 Germans to America from England. Our Lampmans were on one of them. I have found the names of the ten ships thanks to Mr. Richard Lampman and others. It is believed the Lampmans traveled with the Windeckers, who were close friends.

Once these Lampmans made it to the colonies, they slowly ventured north along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, making and clearing new settlements. They nearly starved the first winter. Peter and his family are listed on the Governor Hunter's Ration lists in 1710/1711 as receiving assistance along with many other German Palatines. The governor paid for this out of his own personal accounts. They were pioneers into these areas every step of the way. They bought land from the Indians, cleared it, settled, had children, and kept moving north towards Canada up the Hudson River, and into the upstate Vermont territory. In a map after this section you will see the many towns they built. They had to be a hardy lot, but this life was easier than in their homeland. These hardy Germans and others who emigrated from Germany helped to pioneer towns like Albany, Schenectady and many other small villages then.

Peter and Catharina had four children of their own:

Johann Peter Landman (1011), born April 5, 1700 in Stockheim, Germany.
Anna Elisabetha Lambmann, born on August 5, 1701 in Rohrback, Germany on a few kilometers from Stockheim. She died May 29th, 1704 in Stockheim.
A daughter was born on an unknown date, and died during the voyage to America.
Johann Caspar Lambmann (1128) , born October 21, 1705 in Stockheim, Germany. He was confirmed in 1722 in the N.Y.City Lutheran Church. He married Elisabeth Rau in 1731, and they had ten children. Johann Caspar lived in the Columbia County, New York area and died there in 1753.

Two generations later from the John Caspar Lambmann line were some of the early settlers of Waukesha County, WI sometime after 1840 and before 1850. One generation later these Waukesha pioneers had land grants in Burnett County, WI near Shell Lake. In 1852 and 1853 two sons were born in the Shell Lake area to a Caspar Lampman. They populated this area, then moved into the Faribault and St. Croix, Minnesota areas.

Other descendants populate the Pennsylvania regions yet today.
