(B) Abraham Jacob Matthies or Abraham Matthies and His Father

• Thanks for sending it along. That's the first I've heard Abraham's second name as Jacob which we could assume was his father's given name. I have a note that says: "There is a Matthies, Jakob who came to Altonau, Molotschna in 1804 at the age of 43. His wife was Catharina. Among their 7 children was an Abraham, born January 9, 1796. See B.H.Unruh's book "Die Niederlaendisch-Niederdeutschen Hintergruende der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16. 18. und 19 Jahrhundert, page 351. This may be the parents of Abraham, born January 4, 1796."  - Louise Ross, December 9, 2008

Eric - The Matthies name is given in the Name Index to Die niederländisch-niederdeutschen Hintergründe der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16., 18. und 19. Jahrhundert by Tim Janzen on http://www.mennonitehistory.org/projects/books/unruh/m.html .The index is based on  B.H.Unruh's book "Die Niederlaendisch-Niederdeutschen Hintergruende der mennonitischen Ostwanderungen im 16. 18. und 19 Jahrhundert . Translated as "The Dutch-Lower [North] German Background of the Mennonite Eastward Migrations of the 16th, 18th and 19th Centuries" it provides information on Mennonite migrations from Prussia to South Russia.
