Anna Feller

Born in 1750 and died at Uebeschi in 1826.

born about 1750 died 14 May 1826 at Uebeschi, Bern

Anna Feller was the wife of Hans Stutzmann, a citizen of Uebeschi in the parish of Thierachern, Canton Bern, Switzerland, and very probably the mother of Maria Stutzmann, who married Peter Hirschi in 1803. Through her she was the great-grandmother of Susanna Katharina Hirschi, who married Leonhard Hegnauer in Illinois in 1866.1

Marriage and family

Anna married Hans Stutzmann, Peter's son, in September 1769.2 Uebeschi, where the family belonged, was a commune of 274 people in 1764.3 Six of their children were baptised at Thierachern between 1769 and 1790: Susanna, Elisabeth, Johannes, Maria (26 September 1779), Peter and Christian. At Maria's baptism her own sister, Christina Feller, was a godmother.1, 4–5 The pastor described her in 1779 and 1790 as "of Pohlern", a reading that is not certain.1, 5

Later years

Anna lived to see Maria married to Peter Hirschi and her grandson Christian baptised at Thierachern in 1814, with her son Christen as his godfather.6 Her husband died in June 1822. Anna died on 14 May 1826, at seventy-six, and was buried at Thierachern three days later as the wife of Johannes Stutzmann.7–8 Her daughter Maria outlived her by only two years.9

Research notes

  • Sources: The Thierachern baptism register of 1776–1799, read on the images that the Staatsarchiv des Kantons Bern publishes online (27 Sep 2026), and FamilySearch's index of the Thierachern and Kirchdorf registers (entries read 28 Sep 2026). The context is from the Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz.
  • Mother of Maria (probable): as for her husband; the argument is on Maria's profile.1
  • Death (probable): The burial index names her as the wife of Joh[annes] Stutzmann, aged 76, died 14 May 1826; the image has not been read.8 A WikiTree contributor, citing the register (K Thierachern 19, Blatt 248), gives the death at Uebeschi.10
  • Birth: Not read. Her age at burial gives about 1750; the WikiTree contributor cites a Thierachern baptism of 11 Jan 1750 among the "Hintersassen" children, the children of residents who were not citizens (K Thierachern 5, Blatt 106).10 "Von Pohlern" [?] in 1779 and 1790 may be her place of citizenship; the reading is uncertain.1, 5
  • Marriage: Sep 1769, indexed at Kirchdorf (10 Sep) and Thierachern (28 Sep), where she is "Anna Peller"; see Hans Stutzmann's profile.2
  • Leads: the images of the 1750 baptism (K Thierachern 5), the 1769 marriages and the 1826 burial (K Thierachern 19), all online at the Staatsarchiv Bern.
  • WikiTree: Feller-631 existed before the study (unmanaged); it is linked as the mother of Stutzmann-61, with the link marked uncertain to match the grade.
  • This profile is part of the Hegnauer one-name study.

Working notes

  • Anna Feller, 'von Pohlern [?]' (1779 and 1790 baptisms); probable mother of Maria Stutzmann H2193 (see H2402); her sister Christina Feller godmother 1779; m. Hans Stutzmann Sep 1769 (68VB-TVHZ, 6FZP-KGQS as 'Anna Peller'); d. 14 May, bur. Thierachern 17 May 1826, aged 76, wife of Joh.
