THank you, Stefan, for your answer. Can you tell me where Mittelfranken is? In my post, below, I said that he was born in Mittelfranken but "came" from, i.e. lived at some point, near the southwest corner of Baden-Wurttemburg. As I said in a previous post, I don't know much about the geography and history of Germany, and don't pretend to be an expert. Hopefully, those on this board who are can be helpful and point me in the right direction.

Hello,

Mittelfranken is not in the south west corner of Baden Württemberg. The
river could be the Rhine (Rhein), as it acted as a border to Switzerland.
(Of course, Germany didn't existas a state then.)


Regards

Stefan

Looking for information on Johann Michael Harmon (Hermann) born 1670 in
the MIttelfranken, Wurttemburg, Germany. Married Kundigunda Regis March
1698 in Germany. Supposedly came from a castle near the southwest
corner of Baden-Wurttemburg, located on a hill that, depending on how
the river flowed each year, was sometimes in Germany and sometimes in
Switzerland. Sometime between 1650 and 1700 there was a civil war in
the region and the castle burned. Johann gathered all his sons and
wife, and came to Philadelphia in 1725/1726 on the "Charlotte". All
his sons were trained to be Moravian ministers. It is also said that
Johan was born in Moravia and was forced to flee due to religious
persecution. He then lived in Germany near the Danube river while
raising his sons.
Would like to know exactly where this Johann came from in Germany or
Moravia; any help would be appreciated.
