Note

The following information was copied by Don Billet from In Suabia-Land ( WÜRTEMBERG) by Laura Maxwell, 1905, Plainfield, NJ. This is a 4" by 6", 100 page book, found by interlibrary loan at Culver-Stockton College, Canton, MO.

Suabia no longer exists as a country. Its former territory now belong in part to Baden- Wuertemberg and Bavaria. Stuggart, on the Nessenbach River above the juncture with the Neckar River, was made the capital in 1482. The ancient city of Rottenburg, on the Neckar, shows traces of the Roman Empire presence, which lasted two centuries north of the Danube. By the year 270, the Alamanni or Suevi had gained possession of the portion north of the Danube. Centuries of strife among wandering the tribes; Alamannic, Burgundian and Frankish, followed. The Frankish introduced Christianity and by the 8th Century, cloisters appeared, with that of Ellwagen founded in 755 being the oldest. In the 8th Century the land was divided into provinces, with the ruler or Count being appointed by the King. Würtemberg is mentioned. Suabia was a small part of the extensive realm of Charlemagne ( d. 814). Most of the land belonged to the King, and the rest to the nobles and the church. The mass of the population was dependent on the manor lords for the soil to cultivate and paid for it in crops and personal service ( the feudal system).

Charlemagne's realm was divided into three independent portions, with all the German speaking people being placed under Louis, German grandson of Charlemagne, whose principal palace was at Ulm, on the Danube. Rudolph was the last of the line of royal Dukes ( 1057-1080). In 1079, the Emperor appointed Frederick von Hohenstauffen as Duke of Suabia. Frederick died in 1105. Feuds of succession followed. Suabian cities united in an alliance against some of the Würtemberg nobility. Eberhard im Bart became the first Duke of Würtemberg in 1457. In 1520 the Emperor of Austria seized Würtemberg and added it to the House of Austria and ruled until 1534. The Thirty Years War devastated the land. Years later, King Frederick I, allied with Napoleon and in 1806 Würtemberg became a kingdom.

Information on Hans Dellinger's alleged descendants is reported in Ortssippenbuch Oberacker, Landkreis Bruchsal in Baden, published 1970, Lahr, Baden. This is a village family compilation by Rudolf and Margarete Herzer of Freiburg and Gustav Mayer of Oberacker. Copy is in the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah. This reference lists a Niclaus Dellinger, d. 29 Oct 1623 Oberacker. Whether he connects to the same Dellinger family is unknown.^[2]
