(Christina). When he died the gut was inherited by Christina and her husband Johan
Schlieper. Lorentz was most likely Martin's brother (see above).
Wenski, Daniel Schwente Crojanke 18113050 6039 372
David Wenski was Schultz (wife Sussanna Splittgerber) beginning on 4 January 1732.
His son Daniel is shown in the census; he was living with wife (Anna Dorothea Tonn), 2
daughters (Susanna and Eva) and 2 male hired workers, and 2 female hired workers at the
time of the census. It is likely that Daniel’s sister married Lorenz Christoph Remus. (See
Schwente and Waldowo). And see his ancestral village of Wusters in Schlochau below.
Remus, Freischulz Ossowo Crojanke 18113050 6039 386 24
DKF (pp. 284-285) says the Schulz of this village was a Remus as far back as 1706; the
village was also known as Aspenau. The estate (Schultzengut) included the small lake
known as Czarnice (czarny = black) - probably the Teufelsee or devil's lake - on the
Schultzengut. This Frieschultz had 4 times the land allotment of the ordinary village
farmer (bauer). Augustin Dzialynski of Pottlitz owned the land.
ZBS records that Christian Remus purchased this Schulzengut on 11 July 1754 for 2600
tymp by buying out the interests of his widowed mother Christine Beherent and his
brothers. Thus, the schultzengut must have been in the name of his late father Johan
Remus and this transaction was designed to settle the estate. Christian got an inheritable
lease on the property on Ossowo.
The Freischulz was living with his wife (Anna Dorothea Warmbier), two sons over 12
years old (Johan and ?), one daughter under 12 years old (?), four hired male workers,
and two hired female workers. There were 11 in the household. It is not clear who the
Schulz was in Ossowo during the 1772 census; one would think the Schultz must be one
of Christian's sons or brothers. The later Schultzes were Johan Remus (wife Eleanora
Weis) in 1798 and his son Karl Remus (wife Clara Radies) after 1810. See LDS 491164
for Ossowo village in the Krojanke tax records.
Lanken in Kries Schlochau (modern Lakie) Johan Remus purchased an estate (Gut) in
Lanken on 20 April 1724 for 3750 tymp (ZBS p. 13); his wife was Christine nee Berendt.
Jakob Nehring acquired the gut on 24 March 1752 for 7000 tymf (ZBS p. 14); Johan
Remus had died prior to this transaction. Jakob Nehring married Eva Rosina Remus,
daughter of Frantz Remus of Stretzin below. So the Remus genes, if not the name, were
still present. Deutsches Geschlechterbuch (vol. 140, p. 132) says Jakob was Frieschultz of
Lanken in 1775; the Nehrings did not sell the schultzengut until 1799. Alexander
Dzialynski of Pottlitz owned the land in 1724 and Augustin Dzialynski owned the land in
1752. The land census record for Jakob is:
*Naehring, ? Lanken Crojanke 18113050 6039 381 21
He presently lives in a household consisting of himself, one woman, three sons, one
daughter, two hired male workers and two female hired workers. He is a schultze -
mayor, magistrate, or collector for the ruler.
