De Steiguer Family--Ten Generations
My interest in this family is through Laura Watson Ames, who married John Rudolph De Steiguer and is the sister of my gggrandfather, John Lee Ames.
Anyone descended in this family from this union is related to several American Revolutionary War patriots and the Chiltons of the Mayflower (and me!)
Since there are many variations of the name Steiger and since there is not a De Steiguer forum, I am placing this information here. I note in reading other posts that some of the people in them are related to this line.They've just dropped the "De."
Always happy to share what I have in the way of information.I've gotten all of it from the Internet!

!During the seventeen- nineties, French armies invaded Central
Switzerland causing forfeiture of properties belonging to Swiss
families of CANTON BERNE. Because of the unrest, a group of Swiss under
the leadership of BARON RUDOLPH deSteiguer migrated to America. From
New York the Swiss went by wagon to Pittsburgh, then down the Ohio
River in keel boats to Mile Run near Marietta. In Oct 1819, the Baron
purchased 3680 acres of land in Caanan and Ames townships, Athens
Co, OH. .... The area was known as Dutch Creek.

In Reply to: John Rudolph de Stieguer by Mary Knight McGarrof 191
The only info. I have is a Baron Rudolph John Steiger came to Athens Co. Ohio in 1819 with his wife Magdalena Stalder. He shows up on the 1820 census in Canaan Township.
Stalder Family History- OU Library Athens Ohio
The Stalder Family Come to America (1918)
Great Uncle Rudolf De Steiguer was a son of one of the so called "noble " families in Bern Switzerland. being a gradson of old Bergo-Master Von Steiger (note the French change in the name assumed by the younger member of the family) who is mentioned in history in connection with the battle against Napolean's army. The old Mayor seems to have been rather unpopular with his people and had at last to flee to the mountains to avoid being slain by his own soldiers. The old schultheiss' grandson seems to have some of revolutionary ideas also, particularly where his heart went astraying amongst the peasantry; hence, the pretty romance which resulted in the emigration of the Stalder family and made us Americans instead of Swiss.
Young Rudolf fell desperately in love with the beautiful Magdalen Stalder, who is described as being a very lovely girl, and determined to marry her (which, in view of the high position assumed by the Steiger family, kicked up no end of a row among the higher-ups), but Rudolf married the girl and was disowned by his family. So having asserted himself, he determined to take his young wife and go to America where there was plenty of room for his independent spirit to soar. He brought with him to America his father in law and mother in law, certain of their sons and daughters with their families, and other kin whose caliber led them to brave the frontier.
His father in law, Jacob Stalder, was none other than our great- grandfather and the loverly Magdalen our great aunt.
As stated before, this was the Fall of 1819, and wilnter was approaching. Horrible tales of Indian massacres and wild animal and all unknown dangers of a strange land had struck fear to the hearts of our pioneer ancestors, and it was decided to build a two-story log house large enough to house this large group of families. This was done and all lived together, sixty persons in all, during the first winter. In the spring, each family built his own cabin and estabished a home for his family according to Swiss tradition.
This large house was built on what is now called the "Old Elijah Wood Farm". On this farm is a small burial ground where lie the remains of our great granparents Jacob and Anna Stalder and also here is buried the chivalrous Uncle Rudolf De Stiguer and Magdalen his lovely wife. Great Grandfather lived only a few years after coming here as evidenced by a deed of record in the recorder's office datedMarch 20, 1826, executed by Rudolf Steiger Von Grandson to Anna Stalder, relict of Jacob Stalder. It would seem that Magdalen also must have died before this deed was executed as she does not join or sign as wife in the deed as she did in a deed executed by her husband in 1823. Great-grandfather died suddenly in an appopletic stroke in the morning while he was dressing. Son Frederick died also in this manner. He and grandmother were planning to go for a visit on Sunday morning. Grandfather was dressing to go when his summons came, and he fell dead immediately.
This is the story told of the Swiss colony upon landing on American soil, passed down thru the generations. They struck out for the frontier, intending to locate on lands which now form the state of Indiana. Upon reaching the Ohio River they embarked upon flat boats and floated down the river as far as Marietta, Ohio where the ran aground on a sand bar. The ancestral group took advantage of this stop to do a general washing and airing of clothing, etc. It is said that Great Uncle De Steiger had forty-four dozen fine white linen shirts on the lline on this occasion. So much at least he had to show for his patrician origin.
They were delayed here for some time so it became noised about in real estate circes tha a band of Swiss emigrants were in the land, and the ever energetic real estater made tracks for Marietta and endeavered to disuade our worthy and noble great uncle from going further, as there was much fertile land to be had in Ohio. This real estate agent was a relative of Israel Putnam.
Great Uncle Rudolf sent Great-Grandfather Jacob Stalder to look at this land and bring back a report on it. He was gone so long that they began to think he was lost, or had been killed by the Indians, and one night the realtors gave Uncle De Stiguer some of their very strong wine and persuaded him to buy the land sight unseen. Later Great-grandfather returned with an unfavorable report, but the deed had already been executed and delivered. So this is why they came to locate on Federal Creek, Athens County, Ohio.
Great-grandfather Jacob Stalder was born and reared in Canton Bern Switzerland. His wife's name was Anna and she was also our great-grandmother. He was by trade a millwright in Swlitzerland. In this connection, I have heard my people say that in those days in Switzserland, people did not take their grain to the mill as they did in this country, but the miller went after the grain, ground it and returned to his customer again.
Our grandfather Frederick was one of the younger ones and was about eighteen years old when he came to America. His brothers who accompanied him there were Peter, Nicholas, Casper, and Andrew, our great uncles. Of our great aunts there were six, and my father always spoke of their married names as, Aunt DeSteiger (Magdalen), Aunt Junod (Ursula), Aunt Weiss(Rosina), Aunt Hausner, and Aunt Finsterwald (Catharine). Uncle Weiss's name was Jacob. He was called "Old Jakie Weiss. Of these great aunts the husbands were all Swiss except Uncle Housner who was French. Of these brances of the family a number of the descendants still live in this vincinity.
Written by grandson of Frederich Stalder, who was the son of Jacob Stalder.
I don't know if this is the same but that is what I have found.

>Do you have your original hand-written source?
I think you may be right as I was reading this from a
pedigree chart my great-grand mother (Polly De Stieger
Crummett) made in the my grandfathers (Clovis Von Tavel
Crummett) baby book. The handwriting was pretty small so I
can see where I could have made a mistake.I will check that
first.
>I've been back on your site, and I don't understand how you

>In the charts, what are the relationships?
Sorry for the confusion in the charts... I've been meaning to
add labels to the different fields and some sort of pedigree
chart or fan chart.
The columns are from top to bottom: Father, Mother, Family
Record and then any children that family may have had.
Clicking on the Family Record link will show you thier person
sheet while clicking on either the parent or children will
take you to their Family Record page.
I hope I haven't confused you even more...

Notes for EDWARD DE STEIGUER:
Mary, Yes, and I, while born in Texas, now live in Arizona.The Texas de Steiguers (many of them) are buried in the San Marcos Cemetery.They have about 4 locations/plots containing mostly adults..But near Myrtice's grave (my grandmother) are the side-by-side graves of sons John Rudolf and Joseph Emanuel who died as infants.The shared stone says only "J.R./E"
Dr. Edward's grave stone (an obelisk) has a memorial to "Laura and Ena (the infants) who are buried in East Texas."
Glad I could help.Best, Ed
