  • Notes 
    • A family legend that is unravelling:
      Came from Germany with family. Had been wealthy until the Kaiser destroyed everything. Had three sisters. Was married and had three children. Wife died during Civil War. Fought in Civil War for the North. Was in a military prison. His sister raised his children. While in prison, he met a Confederate POW named Wills. When they were released, he decided to go with his friend back to Texas.
      Had a farm near Waco in Robinson.
      Another family legend:
      Built a church and set aside a portion of the property as a school, churchyard and cemetery. He, Annie, Naomi, and Henry are buried there. Robinson Cemetery.
      One more family legend:
      Frederick's brother was a doctor at the "Mayo Clinic". Could this be Nicholas?
      SENN, Dr. Nicholas, at Chicago, June 2, 1908 (death)
      I can't find any proof that his first name was William.

      Gina- The information I have is that the SENN or Senner name means, a shepherd or cowherd in Switzerland. In the spring all the cattle in the small towns are gotten together and the herders drive them up into the mountains to greener pastures. They are milked and cheese is made right there in the mountains and every week the cheese is hauled down to the village and sold. In the fall the cattle are brought back to the village to a big field and the owners have to pick out their cow or cows and take them back to their homes and pick up their money for the cheese that had been sold. When we were in Buchs, St Gallen in Sept of 1998 we were able to see the return of the cattle from the mountains. The best milk producers were all decorated with flowers and branches on their heads and each wore a big (12 inches wide and 18 inches long) bell that clanged with each step the cow took. There must have been approx 150 milk cows and a bunch of yearling calves that bought up the rear of the procession. I did make lots of videotapes of our trip. Was able to visit the church my ancestors went to in Buchs and also look at and hold in my hands and photograph old church records back to the 1600's!!!! It was quite a feeling to see my GGGGGrandfather/mother's birth, confirmation, marriage and death records. Our SENN family came from the little town of Altendorf, St Gallen which is now a part of the city of Buchs. Take care Bill and Gale Senn bsenn@cfu.net
      I checked in the Oxford English Dictionary and the name "senn" is German, rarely used since the early 19th century, but the definition of a "senn" is a herdsman in the Alps. Also Comb. senn-cabin, sennhutt, repr. G. sennh
    • (Research):Is this my Frederick's father?
      Frederick SENN (AFN: 3GM4-33)
      Sex: M
      Birth: 1813 , , Switzerland
      Death: 12 May 1860 Henrietta, Monroe, Ny

      I am positive that John H is not his father.

      Fred and Annie are both on the 1900 Census in Texas, so I assume that Frederick was here, too.
