Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Switzerland County has its origins in the original wine making Swiss immigrants that migrated into the Ohio River Valley in the early Nineteenth Century. These families were an important part of United States wine making history, as they produced the first commercial wines in the nation. New Switzerland The immigrants named their principal town Vevay, after the Swiss town from which most of them originated. The industrious settlers soon turned the hills and valleys of their new settlement, often called New Switzerland, into productive farms and vineyards. Hay Farming Blight ruined the vines and as wine making declined, Switzerland County became a major hay farming region. Hay presses turned out huge quantities of hay to feed the horses that were vital to the agriculture and transportation needs of the era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swiss Colony on the Ohio River at Vevay, in what is now Switzerland County, Indiana, was founded by French-speaking Swiss citizens from the commune of Chateland, district of Vevay, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, in the early 1800s. The founder of the settlement was John James Dufour who had first come to America in 1796 in search of lands for vineyards. He first purchased lands near Lexington, Kentucky, and subsequently in Indiana. The Kentucky settlement failed after a few years, but the Indiana vineyard flourished and became a major factor in the development of Switzerland County. This volume contains a history of this interesting chapter in American history as written by Perret Dufour. He was born in 1807 at the Kentucky vineyard, the son of John Francis Dufour who was the brother of John James Dufour, founder of these settlements. Perret removed to the Indiana community with his family at the age of two and remained there until his death in 1884. Perret's history is of special value because he was an eye-witness and/or participant to much of what he records. This volume is not limited to the Swiss families, but contains extensive mentions of other settlers, and provides a substantial history of the entire county.

Download or read book Envisioning New Switzerland: A Founding Document for the Swiss Colonists at Vevay, Indiana written by Ellen Stepleton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During one of the most tumultuous decades in Swiss history, a small group of Vaudois republicans chose to secure their children's familial, cultural and spiritual patrimony by relocating to the New World. In April 1800, at Le Chenit in the Vall?e de Joux, five families framed a compact to organize a communal settlement in the Northwest Territory. Recently discovered, their pact is presented here in its original French and in English translation, along with an accompanying letter; additionally, another letter and an English translation of the compact as prepared by Jean Jaques Dufour in 1801 is supplied. Dufour is considered a founding father of American viticulture, and the Swiss settlers at Vevay, Indiana the first to succeed as commercial winemakers in the territorial United States. Scholars interested in founding documents, early American communes, commercial enterprises, cultural assimilation, and Swiss history in the Napoleonic era may find these documents intriguing.

Download or read book Revolutionary Soldiers and the Wives of Soldiers with Ties to Switzerland County, Indiana written by Marlene Jan McDerment and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to bring into one volume the various records pertaining to the Revolutionary War soldiers and widows of soldiers who have ties to Switzerland County, Indiana. Included are Switzerland County inhabitants who have not previously been identified as having served in the Revolutionary War. Recognition is given to the widows who settled in Switzerland County after the death of the widow's soldier husband. There are ninety-eight soldiers who lived in Switzerland County, four other soldiers who had ties to Switzerland County, and eight men listed in earlier compilations that either did not live in the county or did not serve in the Revolutionary War. Records compiled for all of these men and women are included in this volume. Entries are alphabetically arranged by surname of the patriot and include: the full name of the patriot, date and place of birth, name of spouse(s), service state(s), service description, rank, proof of service, pension application number, residences, place of death and burial, and other information, followed by abstracts of original documents, such as the pension application, the final payment voucher, land records, census records and more. In order to trace the county's earliest settlers, the author consulted the land records of the Northwest Territory, State of Ohio, Indiana Territory, and Switzerland County, Indiana, as some of these individuals settled (squatted) in the current Switzerland County area when it was still a part of the Northwest Territory. Several dozen sources were examined to determine the service of these Revolutionary soldiers. Citation of each source is identified in these pages. The focus of this work is not genealogy; however, any genealogical information found in the source material has been included. Three appendices complete this work: a list of soldiers and state(s) of service, a list of Revolutionary War soldiers who lived in Switzerland County, and "Interesting observations discovered during compilation of this work."
