It is my hypothesis the 2nd reading of the marriage banns (26.03.1826) is an error. It would make sense if the date were instead 26 Feb 1826, 7 days after the 1st reading (19 Feb 1826). The 3rd reading (5 Mar 1826) would be 7 days after the 2nd reading (26 Feb 1826). I doubt 1826 was a leap year, but I have not checked. - D. A. Navorska - iii May MMXXI - in proximo Grove, OK.

Note: Hinderk A. Janssen Family History

Hinderk A. Janssen was born in Tergast, Ostfriesland, Germany onSeptember 10, 1829. He came to America by sailboat in the year 1852. He came by way of the Atlantic Ocean and landed in New Orleans after fourteen weeks on the ocean. It was a very rough trip and not a pleasant one. He often told how he learned to knit on the trip to keep himself busy.

After arriving in New Orleans, he thanked God for a safe journey,even if he had only $ 1.50 to his name. He spent $.75 of it in NewOrleans.

From there he worked his way up along the Mississippi River tappingsugar maple trees to earn his way, until he arrived in Ilinois, his destination. He had high hopes in the "Land of Opportunity" for himself, his future family, his parents, a brother and four sisters...John,Martha, Fanny, and Geeske....still in Germany.

After working in Illinois for some time he met Nancy Freese and they were married in 1857. They lived in Stephenson County in the vicinity of Forreston. Here they worked hard on the farm. This was during the civil war and Grandma Janssen was always worried that Grandpa would enlist and join the army.

Grandma Janssen, who was born on December 16, 1840, in Neermoor,Ostrfriesland, Germany, came to the United States in the year 1855, withher parents and brothers and sister ... Janna, Anna, Ralph , and John.
The buffalos were plentiful there and there was always the threat of prairie fires. Grandma made candles, spun wool, and wove the cloth to make their clothing. They lived a frugal life.

In 1863 they moved by covered wagon to the area of the EastfrieslandChurch in Grundy County, Iowa. They lived the second place west of the church for many years. Later they moved to the Westfriesland Church area, and in 1901 moved to the town of Ackley. When they first came to Iowa, Grandpa would go to Hardin City grove to fell trees for railroadties when the railroad went throught the vicinity. Many Indians would come in the winter begging for food and Grandpa would always see to it that they got something. They would trade beadwork and handwork for food. Grandpa would challenge them to a match to shoot pennies off a post with their bows and arrows. The Indians never missed. Both Grandpaand Grandma had great compassion for the Indians.

They were blessed with 10 children. John, Hattie and Christian wereborn in Illinois. Wendelka, Henry, Ben A., Venno, Ralph, and Harm were born in Grundy County, Iowa. Wendelka and Ben died during childhood. The children all farmed in the Ackley area..... Grundy, Butler and Franklin counties.
Grandpa helped with the churches in the area where he lived. He borrowed $500. at one time to help start a new church, and interest was very high. Grandma said,"How will we ever get that paid?" "Oh", Grandpa said,"The Lord is a good paymaster."

When they moved to Ackley they joined the St. John's Evangelical Church, now called St. John's United Church of Christ.

Note: the spelling of the name in Tergast is Janssen. The handwritten double s - long s followed by short s, might be misread as hs. How the long s came after the short s is confusing though. For an example, read the title of the Declaration of Independence & the U.S. Constitution. Also, study the use of the etset ß as a ligature for the double s or sz. - D. A.
