Person:Fredrich Wasem (1)

AKA = "GEORG FREDERICH" ?

TESCHENMOSCHEL is a village located about 3 miles south of the village of WALDGREHWEILER, where many of the early Tuscarawas County, Ohio and Urbana, Indiana pioneers originated. Also from Teschenmoscel was the Lanzer Family who were also members of Zion's Congregation.

The Wasem family migrated to Auburn Township, in Tuscarawas County in 1841 from "Bavaria". Since we know that the family was from the village of Teschenmoschel, that confirms the origin as being in the Palatinate, and not actually in Bavaria itself. In 1837 the King of Bavaria was granted rule of the Palatinate, but the Teschenmoschel area was very different from Bavaria.

In the Jefferson Township area of Tuscarawas County, there are a number of people who carry the WASEM surname, and not all of them have been linked together yet.

Fredrich was considered to be among those on the list of 21 founders of St. Peter's Church in Urbana, but he was still in Tuscarawas County, Ohio (1859) when the congregation was organized.

   There were also Wasems who were members of nearby St. Jacob's Church, which was also a German Reformed Church, as most of them in the area were. Fredrich and his family were probably members of Zion's Congregation, as at least 2 of their daughters were baptized there.
