Church Records

In 1867 Old Otterbien Church sponsored a mission church at Fulton Avenue and Lombard Street giving it a large charter membership as well as a substantial gift of money. On this list are 339 names. Included among those names are:

Membership Roll 1867
J.K. Wenzel Catherine Wenzel Heinrich Wenzel Sister Wenzel
Appolone Wenzel George Wenzel

Membership Roll 1870-1874
J.K. Wenzel Catherine Wenzel Henry Wenzel Sister Wenzel
Appolonia Wenzel George Wenzel Carl Wenzel.

Wenzel is a common name in various parts of Germany. By searching Census records the birthplaces of the other Wenzels listed in the records of Old Otterbein Church can be determined. None of the other Wenzels were born in Hesse-Darmstadt, so it is unlikely that any are related to George Wenzel.

The names, birth dates, deaths, baptism dates, and parents of many of George and Catherine Wenzel’s children are found in the records of Old Otterbein Church.

Name                                           Born             Baptized               Parents
Catharina Frederica Wenzel     12-25-1854        4-8-1855             George and Catherine
Sophia Coots Wenzel              11-26-1857        9-12-1858           George and Catherine
Maria Elizabeth Wenzel            4-8-?                  6-9-1862            George and Catherine
Frederick Wenzel                     3-9-1864           4-14-1864           George and Catherine

Name                                     Date of Death                                 Other data
Christina F. Wenzel                 April 21 1860                                  Daughter of George Wenzel

The church recorded the death of Christina F. Wenzel one day after the bible recorded the death of Catherine F. Wenzel. It is a safe assumption that the minister recording the death or the person that copied the record, listed the first name incorrectly.
