BOSSERMAN  FAMILY ROOTS

Starting in the year 1615 with the birth of

Dietrich Bassermann

                                                    
Joseph H. Bosserman
1930-2010

It was Dietrich's Great-Great-Grandson Johann Michael Bassermann who came to America on the ship Hampshire,  landing at Philadelphia on 7 September 1748.   According to German custom this immigrant ancestor always went by Michael Basserman,  never Johann Michael Bassermann.

Michael Bassermann was born on 19 Dec 1726 in Dornigheim Germany, one of the eight children born to Johann Daniel and Appolonia Bassermann.  He was their second born child and oldest son.   When Michael was a young man of twenty-two he left his native home land and sailed for America on the ship Hampshire.    Three ships (Hampshire, Judith, and Two-Brothers)  sailed together and their crossing took 31 days.

It was in America that Michael met Christina Dierdorff,  a daughter of Johannes and Margaret (Earheart) Dierdorff.   Michael and Christina were married about the year 1755 in York County Pa and that is where they lived out the remainder of their lives.   Their farm and old stone home  was on a piece of land known as "Point Petry" in Reading Township of York County.   Due to land boundaries changes in January 1800 the location  of their homestead is now in Reading Township of Adams County Pa.   Looking on today's roadmap the nearest town is East Berlin PA.    Michael and Christina's graves  may be seen in the graveyard beside Mummert's Church Of  The Brethren Meetinghouse near East Berlin Pa.

Michael died during November 1793 and Christina during April 1794.  They were first buried on their farm and later (circa 1910) moved to the churchyard beside The Mummert's Church Of The Brethren Meetinghouse.  To view a photo of Michael or Christina's gravestone click on their name(s).

It is believed that before coming to America Michael was raised in The German Reformed Church but due to Christina's strong family influence he became a member of the Brethren Group then commonly known as Tunkers or Dunkers.

Michael and Christina (Dierdorff) Bassermann had twelve children,  six boys and six girls.   Nine of these,  perhaps ten,  lived to marry and have children of their own.  The children's names and spouses are shown below.
 

 1....Susannah Bosserman  1756-1790, married Daniel Brown
 2....Daniel Bosserman  1760-1792, married Susannah Thomas
 3....Hannah Bosserman,  c1773-(     ), died in her youth, buried with her parents
 4....Margreth Bosserman 1766-1841, married Peter Koch and George Thomas
 5....Christina Bosserman  1768-1849, married Jacob Diehl
 6....Michael Bosserman  1769-1811, married Mary Pfautz
 7....John Bosserman  1772-1845, married Anna Marie Bushey
 8....Catharine Bosserman  1770-1841, married Jacob Sherfig
 9....Abraham Bosserman  1773-1851, married Hannah Graybill
 10...Philip Bosserman  1775-1849, married Beulah Williams
 11...Mary Bosserman  c1777-(     ),   likely married.  No further information
 12...Peter Bosserman,  c1778-(     ), died in his youth, buried  with his parents

                                                                                                                                                                                     
This is the Stone House  in which Michael and Christine (Dierdorff) Bassermann  lived and raised their children .  It's location is in Reading Township of Adams County Pennsylvania.    At the time the house was built  (during the mid-1700s)  the property was in York County Pa.   Due to boundary changes of the counties, the property is now in Adams County.    During January 1800 Adams County was formed from  a part of York County.   Photo taken in 1980.




Photo of  The Mummerts Meeting House in Hamilton Township of  Adams County Pa.   The cemetery can be seen off to the left of the photo. There are many graves here for descendants of  the Bosserman Family,  including the graves of Johann Michael Bassermann and his wife Christina (Dierdorff) Bassermann. This Meeting house and cemetery are a part of   The Upper Conewage District, Church Of  The Brethren.  Michael and Christina were members of this congregation. It's location is not far south of the town of East Berlin, Adams County,  Pa.  Photo taken in July 1976.

 
  
This photo shows some of the graves in the yard beside The Mummert's of The Brethren Meeting House. About one fourth of the cemetery's graves are shown here.   In the center of the photo  there are two long strips of stones set in rows of cement.  In these two rows are the fourteen graves that were moved from the old Bosserman Family Farm circa 1910.   In the back  row, the sixth stone from your left is Michael's.   And his wife Christina's is the seventh from your left.   This photo was taken on 12 August 1976 by Joe Bosserman of Covington, Miami Co., Ohio.

It is engraved with fancy German lettering. The stone itself is carved from a slab of slate. This photo of the stone makes it look larger than it is. It is around three feet in height and about two inches thick. Even though there are no dates on the stone we know from other sources that Michael was born in Germany on 19 December 1726 and died during November 1793. He had came to America during 1748. Also see the photo of his wife Christina's gravestone and a photo of the cluster of Bosserman gravestones that Michael's stone is in.

             
 The gravestone of Christina Dierdorff Bassermann in the graveyard beside The Mummert's Church Of  The Brethren Meetinghouse.   She died in April 1774 and is buried beside her husband Michael Basserman.  Both Christina and Michael were first buried on their farm, then circa 1910 moved to the meetinghouse yard.  Christina's gravestone is of the same type as her husband's and two of their children,  Hannah and Peter.   All of these stones are amoung a cluster of Bosserman gravestones.

How Johan immagrated to America- the ship the Hampshire

Johann Michael Basserman:Michael Bassermann emigrated to America, likely traveling down the Main and Rhine Rivers to Rotterdam in Holland. There he boarded the ship, "Hampshire", and after a stop at Falmouth, England, where immigrants to the British colonies were required to sign the oath of allegiace to the British Crown, sailed to America, landing at Philadelphia 7 Sept. 1748. We have little knowledge of Michael's residence or movement until 1765 when we find him purchasing land in Reading Township, York Co. from the Pennsylvania Colonial Proprietor. In the purchase contract, he is required to pay interest back to 1758 from which we may presume that he has been living on the land at least since that latter date. On this piece of land, the couple lived out their lives, raised their family of 12 children. Both died and were buried on the farm. Some time after 1900 their graves were moved to the Old Mummerts Cemetery, the site of the Old Mummerts Meeting House, now Upper Conewago Church of the Brethren, between Berlin and Abbotstown, Adams Co., PA. Two of their chilren, Peter and Hannah, are buried next to them. Many other members of the Bosserman families were buried there also. They prospered as their wills would indicate. The farm was known as "Point Petra". Likely from some stony feature thereon. After Christiana's death, it was sold to son John for 1270 pounds. "The Brethren in Colonial America" by Donald F. Durnbaugh includes the mention of Michael as active in the Church of the Brethren. Both Michael and Christiana signed their wills Basserman, but all their children spelled the name as we do today. father 1639-1671 johann weygel bassermann,

      Johann Michael Basserman103, born 19 December 1726 in Dornigheim, Germany; died November 1793 in York Co., PA. He was the son of Johann Daniel Basserman and Appalonia. He married Christina Dierdorff Abt. 1755.

      Christina Dierdorff103, born Abt. 1742 in York Co., PA; died April 1794 in York Co., PA. She was the daughter of Johannes Dierdorff and Anna Mary Margaret Ehrhardt.

Notes for Johann Michael Basserman:
Michael Bassermann emigrated to America, likely traveling down the Main and Rhine Rivers to Rotterdam in Holland. There he boarded the ship, "Hampshire", and after a stop at Falmouth, England, where immigrants to the British colonies were required to sign the oath of allegiace to the British Crown, sailed to America, landing at Philadelphia 7 Sept. 1748.

We have little knowledge of Michael's residence or movement until 1765 when we find him purchasing land in Reading Township, York Co. from the Pennsylvania Colonial Proprietor. In the purchase contract, he is required to pay interest back to 1758 from which we may presume that he has been living on the land at least since that latter date.

On this piece of land, the couple lived out their lives, raised their family of 12 children. Both died and were buried on the farm. Some time after 1900 their graves were moved to the Old Mummerts Cemetery, the site of the Old Mummerts Meeting House, now Upper Conewago Church of the Brethren, between Berlin and Abbotstown, Adams Co., PA. Two of their chilren, Peter and Hannah, are buried next to them. Many other members of the Bosserman families were buried there also.

They prospered as their wills would indicate. The farm was known as "Point Petra". Likely from some stony feature thereon. After Christiana's death, it was sold to son John for 1270 pounds.

"The Brethren in Colonial America" by Donald F. Durnbaugh includes the mention of Michael as active in the Church of the Brethren.

Both Michael and Christiana signed their wills Basserman, but all their children spelled the name as we do today. To this day the name is Bassermann as used in Germany. While Bosserman is most prevalent in America, it has been seen ina umber of forms including Boserman, Bosorman, Bosseman, Bauserman, and perhaps even Passirman. The variations may partially be the result of non-Enlish speaking family members having their legal papers drawn by officials who wrote the name as it sounded to them.

The John Penn who signed Michael's land contract was a granson of William Penn, but not the same John Penn who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Buried in Hamilton Twp., Adams Co., PA
