Descendants of (Unknown) von Kirst


(Unknown) von Kirst (later changed to Kirst) and his unknown wife were born in or near the Saxony Province of Prussia in the late-1700’s.

They are the earliest known ancestors of the Kirst family members that lived in Monroe County.

One of their four sons, Gottlieb Kirst, married Sophia Wiedemann and they emigrated to America with their five oldest children in 1855. They eventually had one (possibly two) more offspring in Illinois, before they arrived in Adrian Township in the 1860’s.

Their children married into families such as Drowatzky, Matzke, Schulz, Waegner, and Ebert.
