2. Sabastian² Eisenman (Johann¹) was born Abt. 1790 in Schirrhoffen, Alsace, France¹, and died Abt. 1851 in New Hamburg, Scott, Missouri². He married Mary Ann Mertal. She was born 1789 in Germany, and died October 01, 1867 in New Hamburg, Scott, Missouri^3,4,5.

Notes for Sabastian Eisenman:

From the booklet, "Landmark of Catholicism" of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Canton, Stark County, Ohio, Sesquicentennial 1824-1974, pages 4 & 5, we learn the following information:

Canton St. John, where construction was begun in 1823, was the second Catholic church in northern Ohio, following the 1820 founding of tiny St. Paul the Apostle at Dungannon. St. John's history as a congregation, however, dates back to 1817, when itinerant priest Father Edward Fenwick said the first Mass here under the Shorb oak tree."

"There were only about 15 Catholic families in 1823 when Cantonians began their first church, at a time when there were no Catholic churches whatever in the ultimately much larger towns of Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown. Once the Canton church was established, it acted as a base for serving other Catholics within a radius of 50 miles and provided travelling clergy to serve the missions which sprang up around it. It also was a magnet, drawing many Catholic immigrants anxious to settle where Mass and the sacraments were available. The Ohio Canal was opened from Cleveland as far as Akron by July 4, 1827, providing an all-water route from New York via the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers and the Erie Canal.

On February 10, 1828, U. S. Catholic Miscellany stated that `thirty Catholic families arrived from Lorraine, France at Canton, their chief motive in selecting this spot being the convenience of a Catholic church'."

On page 17 we find another reference to the arrival of the French families: "Though St. John's began as a congregation in 1823 with only fifteen families, in 1828 alone thirty Catholic families arrived from Lorraine, France. Most of those `Frenchmen' spoke German or the guttural Alsatian dialect."

However, we also learn from page 17 that relations between the German's and the English/Irish were not always the best. The Germans decided in l844 to establish their own German speaking church, St. Peter's, to preserve their native language.

"A La Lisiere De La Foret, Shirrhein Schirrhoffen" 125 persons from Schirrhein and 51 from Schirrhoffen fled the French revolutionaries and their homes and became refugees in Germany. Among those refugees were Gen. Sebastien Steinmetz's family and some of their relatives and friends; the Dannenmuller, Lang, and Issemann families. General Sebastien did not flee. He remained behind, in France.
