Komp Family History

The City of Dusseldorf

D�sseldorf, city (1994 pop. 574,600), capital of North Rhine�Westphalia, W Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and D�ssel rivers. It is a major industrial, financial, and commercial center; a busy inland port; and an important rail junction. It has three harbors on the Rhine and one of the nation's busiest civil airfields at Lohausen. Its manufactures include iron, steel, machinery, chemicals, textiles, and glass. Chartered in 1288, D�sseldorf later was (14th�16th cent.) the capital and residence of the dukes of Berg. In 1614 it passed to the Palatinate-Neuburg line of the Bavarian house of Wittelsbach. It was occupied by France in 1795 and in 1815 became part of Prussia. Its industrial growth dates from c.1870. After World War I it was occupied again by France from 1921 to 1925. The city was badly damaged during World War II but has been rebuilt. Present-day D�sseldorf is an elegant city and a cultural center, with noted theaters and museums and a university.



Descendants of Christoph KOMP

Generation One

1. CHRISTOPH KOMP was born prior to 1700 and married Anna Maria. The first record for him is the birth of their son, Joannes in Dusseldorf in 1719 in the records of St. Ann's Catholic Church. I presume they were not from Dusseldorf. The church records indicated that this was a transitory congregation. It could have been in a location that served the military. No records were found for their marriage, other children or deaths. Fortunately the priest in Treis made a notation that Joannes Franz Carl KOMP was from Dusseldorf or his baptism record would not have been found.
I did find some interesting records: Herman Joseph Komp and Anna Maria Becker were the parents of Anna Catharina Komp, Baptized on January 31, 1797 at Pingsheim, Rhineland, Preussen. Note: Ringsheim is now Erftstadt. Anna Catharina Komp married Joannes Arnold Meller on Sept 15, 1772 in Erp, (near Pingsheim) Rhineland. There are also Comp records in Eitorf, FHL #0178164.

The only known child of Christoph KOMP and Anna Maria was:

Generation Two

2. JOANNES FRANZ CARL KOMP (Christoph) was baptized on February 6, 1719 in St. Anne's Catholic Church. He was a schneider (tailor). He married Gertrude BEILEN, daughter of Joannes BEILEN and Apollonia SCHMITZ, on May 26, 1750 in St. Johannes Catholic Church in Treis, Cochem, Rhineland. He died on May 5, 1784 in Treis at age 65. GERTRUDE BEILEN was baptized on December 21, 1723 in St. Johannes, Treis. Her Godparents were Wilhelm Schmitz, an adolescent, and Gertrude, wife of Carl Greys/Greis. She was a Godmother for Anton Hirschbach, son of Melchior Hirschbach and Anna Elisabeth Schmitz on September 9, 1745. She died on November 18, 1788 in Treis at age 64.

Children of Joannes Franz Carl and Gertrude, all born in Treis and baptized at St. Johannes, were:

Generation Three

5. JOANNES KOMP (Joannes Franz Carl was baptized on May 24, 1755. His Godparents were Joannes Joffmann and Elisabeth Hirsbach. He was a shoemaker. He married Anna Catharina TRESTER, daughter of Martin TRESTER and Clara BINDLERS, on August 15, 1780 in St. Johannes in Treis. Anna Catharina was baptized on October 28, 1740. Her Godparents were Anna Katharina Tresser and Lukas Bendler. She died on February 4, 1803 in Treis at age 62. There were no known children of Joannes and Anna Catharina.

Joannes next married Maria Barbara STUMP, daughter of Joannes Stump and Elisabetha Pillig, on April 19, 1803 in St. Johannes in Treis. Maria was baptized on July 4, 1776. Her Godparents were Maria Barbara Steffes and Paul Gutman.

ANNA ELIZABETH was baptized on January 28, 1780 in St. Johannes, Treis. Her Godparents were Anna Elisabetha Castor and Philipp Nicolai. She died on March 23, 1830 in Treis at age 50.
NOTE: Anna was placed in this family because the age of her children made her the right age for this person. The Godparents of two of her children matched this family.

6. JOANNES ADOLPH KOMP (Joannes Franz Carl, Christoph) was baptized on November 10, 1758. His Godparents were Joannes Adolph Beilen and Anna Christina Porten.

He next married Anna Maria CONRATH, daughter of Joannes Conrath and Maria Catharina CASTOR, circa 1797. I believe that this is the correct Anna. Joannes Konrath and Maria Katharina Castor's Anna was born, 15 October, 1764, which makes her the right age. Anna married Joannes Peter Steffes and they had only one child. He probably died and she married Joannes Adolph Komp sometime before 1798. Peter Castor was the Godfather for her son, Peter. Carl Castor was the Godfather for her son Carl. (Her mother's maiden name would have been Castor.) ANNA MARIA was baptized on October 15, 1764. Her Godparents were Franciscus Conrath and Anna Maria Castors. She married Joannes Petrus STEFFES. She died on December 23, 1804 in Treis at age 40.

He died on November 4, 1838 in Treis at age 75.

Children of Catharina Gertrude and Joannes Adolph, all born in Treis and baptized at St. Johannes were:

Generation Four

12. ANNA ELISABETHA KOMP (Joannes, Joannes Franz Carl, Christoph) was born on July 23, 1806 and was baptized on July 23, 1806. Her Godparents were Ann Elizabeth Murtnich and John Simonis. She married Herman CONRATH, son of Peter CONRATH and Maria Luccia SENGER, on August 1, 1826 in St. Johannes, Treis. HERMAN was baptized on February 17, 1794 in St. Johannes, Treis. His Godparents were Herman Conrad and Ursula Senger. He was a schumacher (shoemaker). In 1842 he was a kramer or merchant. Herman was a Godfather on August 29, 1825 for Herman Sabel, the son of Christopher Sabel and Anna Gertrude Konrath. (Anna was his sister.) He was also a Godfather on August 25, 1838 for Maria Anna Brayon, the daughter of Joannes Peter Held and Maria Anna Brayon. He died on October 13, 1849 in Italy or Wisconsin??? at age 55; There is a Treis death record for Herman Conrath, husband of Elisabetha Komp showing that he died 13 Oct. 1849 in Italy.She may have married Philipp LIES in 1854?. A Marriage cert #86 at West Bend shows a marriage between Herman Konrath and Elisabeth "Gumb". The date is Oct. 31, 1854 and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Mich. Beitter, the priest at St. Lawrence. This could have been a marriage between Philip Lies and Elisabeth Komp and the names were recorded incorrectly. But why is Elisabeth buried as Elisabeth Konrath rather than Elisabeth Lies? This remains an unsolved mystery in our family. She died on January 24, 1886 in Slinger at age 79.

They probably left Treis after the wedding of her daughter, Anna Elisabeth, in February of 1852. She came to Wisconsin with seven children, Joseph, age 25, Maria Anna, age 21, Catharina, age 14, Peter, age 12, Barbara, age 10, Herman, age 7, and John, age 3. On December 14, 1853, Elisabeth, widow of Herman, and guardian of Katharina, Peter, Barbara, Herman and John, wrote to the Catholic priest in Treis that she had received the money for the property she sold in Treis. Also named as guardians for the above children were, Joseph Conrad, Herman Laus, schnid of Elisabeth Conrad, and Maria Anna, a single woman. Elisabeth sold the property to Wilhelm Simonis, a merchant, innkeeper and winzer.

The 11 known children of Anna Elisabetha KOMP and Herman CONRATH, all born in Treis and baptized at St. Johannes, were:

PHILIPP LIES was born circa 1798 in Koblenz?. Philip was granted 40 acres in the NW quarter of the NW quarter of Section 17 in TWP Nine, North of Range 19. Information from the United States Department of the Interior, Vol.355, page 302. There is a P. Leace in the town of Richfield in the 1850 census. His wife is simply "C.". She probably died and Philip married Elisabeth in 1854. On Jan. 5, 1858, Philip was a witness at the marriage of Joseph Konrath and Catherine Stotzheim. He died on July 24, 1880 in Slinger, Washington Co., WIsconsin. His death record from St. Peter's in Slinger noted that he was from Coblenz but I doubt that is where he was from. Most emigrants gave the name of the nearest "big" city. I could not find any record for him in Treis or Koblenz. He was buried on July 26, 1880 in St. Peter's Cemetery, Slinger.
