Guten Tag,
gibt es einen Hinweis zur Fam. v. Hitacker vor 1800 in Bleckede?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
M. Puffahrt
In German is Hitacker the same name as Hutker?
My Hutker family came from Rieste in 1838 and settled in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area. I know the spelling of the spelling has changed over 180 years they were in US, and I have found several spellings of the name in the US documents.
If Hitacker is the same as Hutker, then this would give me a new avenue to search for my German Cousins.
Probably, in German the u and I are interchangeable and the rest is just how
the writer thought it sounded. So yes, I would investigate it.
Keith,
there once was a HUETKER (UE=Umlaut) farm in Rieste (near Bramsche just north of Osnabrueck). Documents about the farm dating from 1665 to 1861 are kept in the Lower Saxony State Archives in Osnabrueck. Owners of the farm were called either HUETKER or KOVERN (Huetker aka Kovern or Kovern aka Huetker).
kind regards

Thank you very much for the information. I have spent many years working on the Hutker family, and find there is always new information.
Joseph Hutker was my 3rd great grandfather. From the Passenger Manifest, Joseph (48 years old), Thresa (47) Marriane (17), Elizabeth, and Bernhard (14) Hutker left Bremen on May 21 , 1838 and arrived in New York on July 6, 1838. The family appeared in the 1840 US Census in Fort Wayne Indiana, and spent the rest of their lives in and around Fort Wayne. On Bernhard's citizenship application he spelled the name Heutker.
I don't suppose that the records of the Huetker farm in Germany are available on line?
Again thank you for the information

PS I am replying in English, since if tried to reply in my poor German it would only confuse the conversation.
Sorry Keith, but the records aren't available online.
Is this Bernhards memorial?
Have you got any other dates for one of the other family members?
And am I right in assuming they were catholics?
kind regards

I worked with the family for over 10 years trying to keep Bernard Hutker's seven daughters, all named Mary, straight. Then one day it hit me, that the Hutker family was Catholic. Later I found that both the Dinklage and Hutker families appear in the Fort Wayne Diocese of the Catholic Church's records.
The fact that the Hutkers were Catholic was a surprise, since Bernard's daughter Mary Theresa Hutker married my great grandfather James Monroe Nuttle. Per James' mother's, Hannah, obituary she was a life long Methodist. Because of the problems of Mary Theresa marrying out side of her religion, she left the Catholic church and attended the Methodist church the rest of her life.
Yes that is Bernard Hutker's memorial. Bernard is buried in the Harlan Memorial cemetery about about four miles north of his farm which was near the small community of Milan Center, Milan Township, Allen County, Indiana. The Memorial is a little misleading. Bernard apparently liked the name Mary, as both his first wife Maria Anna Dinklage and his second wife (Shown in the memorial) Mary Agnes Koerber had that name.
Mary Agnes Koerber married Bernard Hutker on Dec 28, 1864. She was born Feb 11, 1838 in Baden Germany. Bernard and Mary Agnes had four daughters and two sons. Mary Agnes dies Feb 14, 1914 and is buried in the Catholic Cemetery in New Haven Indiana.
Maria Anna Dinklage was born Jan 03, 1832 in Sogel Germany. Her family came to America in 1848. She married Bernard Hutker on May 15, 1850. It took many years to pin down her date of death, but I did find it within a couple of days. The only document I have for her date of death is from the Peltier Mortuary Coffin Sales in Fort Wayne. Per their sales records Bernard bought his wife's casket on Oct 13 1863. I have never found Maria Dinklage Hutker's burial. I suspect that it was in one of the cemeteries in the middle of Fort Wayne that got moved in the 1870's and 80's and has been lost. Bernard and Maria Anna Dinklage had four daughters all named Mary.
Are we cousins?
Either way I would be more than willing to share the documents, pictures, and data I have on the Hutker family.
