1. Peter Fahnestock. Born ca 1606 in Westphalia, Germany. Peter died in Esborn, Hagen, Germany on 1 Nov 1678; he was 72.
Rupert Von Fahhnestock, (from whom first sprung this family)
was made a Baron of the Roman Empire, by Emperor Robert, of Normandy.
[Robert of Normandy was in power A.D. 1054]
The family continues to hold many high offices in the Imperial
Courts until, A.D.
1500, when Count Henry Von Fahnestock married into the Noble family
of
Brandenburg, the lands of which came to his wife, and he settled
in that
principality.
In A.D. 1644, Count Joseph Von Fahnestock, being one of the Nobles
to whom the
negotiations with the different Courts of Europe for the safety
of the Empire was
entrusted, was made one of the committee to erect the House of
Brandenburg into
the Kingdom of Prussia; he being of so much importance in his
duty was made Prime
minister of the New Kingdom in A.D.1659.
Being delegated on a mission to Poland, he there saw and fell
in love with Aloysia,
the young and beautiful daughter of John Sobieski, the greatest
of European
Monarchs, by his first wife, Maria De La Grange, one of the maids
of honor to the
wife of Casimir, the former King. She was the wife of Zamoiski,
Palantine of
Landomir, and the daughter of the Marquis De Anquien, and a confident
of her
mistress. She was a lady of great beauty and talent.
The only offspring of the Emperor and this lady was their accomplished
daughter,
Aloysia.
After a most romantic court-ship Count Joseph won the Northern
beauty and bore
her in triumph to his own home in Brandenburg, as it then was,
what is now Prussia.
The name Fahnestock has been indifferently spelled, the former
being a corruption
of the original Farhnestock.
*NOTE:
The above account states that Robert Of Normandy was in power
A.D.
1054. He was actually born in 1054 and died in 1134. He was in
power
from 1087 to 1106. This would place Rupert's birth and death between
approximately 1020 and 1100 A.D.
In the account of Joseph Von Fahnestock, his marriage to the
Emperor's
"only off-spring", Aloysia is misleading.
Sobieski had children to other wives because his grand daughter
Princess Clementina Sobieski married (1719) James Francis Stuart,
the
last of his line to attempt to reclaim the throne of England for
the
Scots.
