Jacob Cornelius Toews (1805-1873) |
|
from Profiles, by Delbert Plett, pp226 Jakob Toews was born in Lindenau, Molotschna, where he grew to manhood. On August 19, 1826 he married Anna Wiebe whose parents are not known at the present time. The family may have lived in Prangenau or Morgenau as they later had sons resident in both of these villages. In any event, by late 1864 the Jakob Toews together with their son-in-law Isaac Friesen and Peter Wiebe had moved to the new settlement of Markuslandt near the Old Colony. After several years the family moved to Borosenko north of Nikopol although the exact location of the village is not known. Jakob Toews died on January 18, 1873 only one year before the emigration to America. In 1874 his widow emigrated to America travelling with her son Peter W. Toews. They settled in the village of Blumenort, Manitoba where she died in 1881. ■
