Johann Bernard and Adelaide (Hemling) Kernebeck
Johann Kernebeck emigrated from Germany and arrived at the Port of New Orleans on 3 December 1843. It is unknown at the present time how Johann Kernebeck and Adelaide Hemling met. They were married at St John the Baptist Church in Johnsburg, McHenry Co., Illinois, on 5 June 1856. This was about 12 years after Johann Bernard had come to America with his brother Bernard Heinrich. Both brothers settled and had adjacent farms along Pistakee Bay as shown on the 1862 and 1872 McHenry Township Plat Maps, Sec 20, Range 9.
Johann and Adelaide were the parents of four children, two sons, Bernard Heinrich and Johann Heinrich, and two daughters, Anna Margaretha and Maria Catherina. Both Johann and Adelaide died at their family homestead at Pistakee Bay. Johann at the age of 76 on 24 September 1883, and Adelaide at the age of 71 on 16 August 1891. They are at rest at St John The Baptist Cemetery in Johnsburg, McHenry Co., Illinois.
Their son Bernard Heinrich (Henry) and his wife Elizabeth (Schaefer) lived on the family homestead and this is where several of their first children were born. This original Kernebeck homestead remained in the family until Henry sold the family farmstead about 1896. The barn had long ago disappeared but the house survived until May of 2003, when it was raized, and a new home has since been built there. Henry then purchased another farm from Albert Howe in McHenry Township, Sec 39, Range 9 as shown on the 1902 McHenry Township Plat Map.
Johann and Adelaide are my maternal 2x great-grandparents, their son Bernard Heinrich is my great-grandfather. Information in Family Group Records was obtained from church records, vital records and obits.
