\n\tThis extract is referring to\u00a0Gottlieb\u00a0KUCHEL's\u00a0grand parents and uncles \u00a0that arrived in South Australia \u00a0in 1838 on the\u00a0Prince George.\u00a0This quote is taken from\u00a0'KUCHEL 1838-1970'\u00a0by\u00a0SCHWERDT,\u00a0HILL\u00a0and\u00a0WITTWER\u00a0page 4.
\n\n\t\"It is\u00a0believed that in the early 1840's they moved out to (an area known as)\u00a0Kirchenbergen\u00a0which was about two miles south of the Hahndorf township. \u00a0Kirchenbergen (meaning, \"hills of the church\") was undulating country which the\u00a0KUCHEL's\u00a0farmed. \u00a0It was near Windmill Hill (a well-known spot in the Adelaide Hills) and it was in the gully between the properties now owned by Mr H.\u00a0BRAENDLER\u00a0and Mr G\u00a0PAECH.\u00a0\u00a0The ruins of four houses, probably built by the\u00a0KUCHEL's, can still be seen on Mr\u00a0BRAENDLER's\u00a0property.\"
\n\n\t\"Kirchenbergen comprised three sections of land totalling about 240 acres (sections 3821, 3822, 3823)....... purchased by the Incorporated Society for the Progogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts on \u00a015 May 1841.'
\n\n\tI am unclear whether 'Kirchenbergen' is the land they farmed, (3 sections was a lot of land in the 1840's) or is it an 'area', more like 'Paechtown'?. \u00a0In 1842 the 3\u00a0Kuchel\u00a0boys from the\u00a0Prince George\u00a0were: Samuel aged 27yrs married with 1 child, Friedrich unmarried at 24yrs of age, and Gottlieb the youngest, aged 21yrs and unmarried. \u00a0Georg their father died at 'Kirchenbergen' in 1845, 7 years after arrival. \u00a0The boys mother Anna would have been 55yrs of age.
\n\n\tWe know that Gottlieb's parents were first cousins. \u00a0His mother's (Dorothea\u00a0Kuchel), father, was Daniel\u00a0Kuchel\u00a0b1774.\u00a0\u00a0 Daniel also came on the 'Patel', with his daughter Dorothea & his son-in-law Erdmann\u00a0KUCHEL. \u00a0I have no information about who Daniel was married to.\u00a0 \u00a0Seventy year old Daniel is described on the\u00a0'Ships List'\u00a0as coming from Lochow (see Illustration C). \u00a0Erdmann\u00a0KUCHEL, has been described in\u00a0'Ships List'\u00a0as coming from Langmeil,( see map above). \u00a0 The same\u00a0'Ship's List'\u00a0also states that Daniel, was among\u00a0'eleven persons',\u00a0who died at sea,\u00a0'mostly old men, and very young children.' \u00a0SAGHS has a Death Index entry.......
\n\n\tThere is evidence in the form of a death\u00a0certificate\u00a0 that a Daniel \u00a0KUCHEL\u00a0died in Hahndorf at 83 yrs of age on 27 January 1857. \u00a0That means he was born c1774, the same age as the Daniel who had apparently died on the 'Patel'.
\n\n\tAlan Wittwer \u00a0& Fairalie Liebelt wrote about this couple in 1980, in the\u00a0LIEBELT FAMILY HISTORY\u00a0pge 49:
\n\n\t'Johanne was born on June 15, 1848. \u00a0As a young\u00a0woman Johanne worked as a domestic servant in various households. \u00a0She married Johann Gottlieb\u00a0Kuchel\u00a0in St. Michael's Church on May 4, 1871, Pastor Strempel\u00a0officiating. \u00a0\u00a0Gottlieb was born at Kirchenbergen near Hahndorf on April 21, 1846. \u00a0His parents were first cousins, Johann Gottfried Erdmann\u00a0Kuchel\u00a0and Johanne Dorothea\u00a0Elisabeth\u00a0born\u00a0Kuchel,\u00a0who had emigrated the previous year from the German village of Lochow.
\n\n\tImmediately after their marriage Johanne and Gottlieb lived at Friedrichstadt on the Mount Barker Rd., then in Hahndorf in English Street. \u00a0They then moved, in about 1878, to part of Section 3913, in the Hundred of Kuitpo which Johanne's father\u00a0(Gottlieb\u00a0Liebelt)\u00a0had purchased. \u00a0Here\u00a0Gottlieb built a home of slabs, straw and mud. \u00a0The home was\u00a0demolished several years ago, the site now being marked by a few old trees. \u00a0
\n\n\tGottlieb was a carpenter, making rakes and other tools as well as hurdles for the Oakbank races.\u00a0Gottlieb died on\u00a0October 31, 1923; Johanne reached the high age of 91 years\u00a0passing away on March 29, 1940. \u00a0Both are buried in the Hahndorf cemetery,\u00a0where their grave is marked by a tombstone. \u00a0Their old homestead property is now owned and farmed by Mr K.\u00a0Liebelt, a grandson of Johanne's brother August.'

\n\n\t'Johann Gottlieb\u00a0(LIEBELT)\u00a0was born on December 28, 1823, probably in\u00a0the German village of Nickern.\u00a0(See Meyers Gazette map above)\u00a0\u00a0On arrival in Australia in 1839 he lived with his parents in Hahndorf; it seems likely that he was employed as a shepherd in the early days. \u00a0Gottlieb and Johanne Caroline\u00a0LUBASCH\u00a0were married on September 9, 1847; the ceremony was\u00a0conducted by Pastor A.L.C.\u00a0KAVEL\u00a0in the school room at Hahndorf. \u00a0The witnesses to the marriage were Gottlieb\u00a0KUCHEL\u00a0and Christian\u00a0ZILM'\u00a0
\n\n\tThis Gottlieb\u00a0KUCHEL\u00a0was probably Erdmann's youngest brother who had come out on the\u00a0Prince George\u00a0and who he may have named his first son after, the Gottlieb\u00a0KUCHEL\u00a0of this article. The\u00a0LIEBELT's\u00a0and the\u00a0KUCHEL's\u00a0were possibly already friends, from knowing them in Lochow, not \u00a0far from Nickern, or from their shared experiences in Hahndorf \u00a0(JBH author/researcher).
\n\n\t'Gottlieb and his wife were among the earliest settlers at Friedrichstadt - it is not known exactly when he settled at Friedrichstadt but as his nick-name was 'Squatter' it seems likely that be 'squatted' on his\u00a0selection before he formally took up the land. \u00a0On December 5, 1850, he became the\u00a0registered owner of Section 3903 of the Hundred of Kuitpo. \u00a0this 80 acre section was purchased from Johann Friedrich\u00a0PAECH\u00a0of Gr\u00fcnthal for 80 pound. \u00a0Access was allowed to other settlers to the water pools on this property. \u00a0On this section Gottlieb built his first home of mud, straw and slabs.
\n\n\tThis home stood until 1912 when it was destroyed in a disastrous bushfire. \u00a0The home had been replace earlier by an all brick home - one of the first in the Hahndorf area to be built entirely of brick. Over the years Gottlieb purchased and leased additional properties. In February 1856 he paid 300 pound for 30 acres, part of section 3899. \u00a0On October 16, 1866 he took over the lease of sections 3897, 3895 and 3884 and part of section 3896 in the Hundred of Kuitpo from Gottlob\u00a0SCHULZ.
\n\n\tGottlieb leased from the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, sections 3696, 3733, 5007 and parts of sections 3732 and 3698 in the Hundred of Macclesfield. \u00a0The\u00a0annual rental was 20\u00a0pound per year plus 1/- per acre which was cultivated. \u00a0The land had to be cultivated within 4 years.
\n\n\tGottlieb was a farmer; it appears likely that he also did some shearing. \u00a0Much of the land mentioned above is still in the possession of members of the family. \u00a0On May 11, 1893, Gottlieb passed away at the age of 69 years. \u00a0His widow attained the age of 75\u00a0years, passing away on May 30, 1902. Both are buried in the Hahndorf Cemetery\u00a0where a tombstone marks their resting place. \u00a0It is of interest to note that Christian's 3 children and their spouses are buried in adjacent blocks in the Hahndorf Cemetery.'8. \u00a0

\n\n\t'Johann Christian was born on February 2, 1801. The place of his birth is not\u00a0known although it seems likely that it was either Nickern or Schoenborn in the Province of Brandenburg. \u00a0Little is known of his life in Germany except that at the time of registration for emigration his place of residence was the village of Nickern and that his occupation was \"Sch\u00e4fer\" (Shepherd). \u00a0In Australia he was known as \"Sch\u00e4fer\"\u00a0LIEBELT'.
\n\n\t'Christian and his family were among the pioneer settlers in Hahndorf. \u00a0Christian was allocated approx. 4 1/4 acres of land in the new village. \u00a0His homestead block was\u00a0numbered 15 (now 19). \u00a0The block was near the northern end of the Main Street (no 106). In addition he received farming\u00a0blocks numbered 21,25,36, 51c and 66b. (Now 59, 63, 86, 105 and 138). \u00a0On September 16, Christian became the registered owner of this land; previously it had been vested in the original trustees of Hahndorf, Christian and Johann Christian Erdmann\u00a0JAENSCH.\u00a0 Christian built his humble home of wattle and daub on this property. \u00a0It consisted of two rooms and a porch. \u00a0In addition, a cellar of similar construction was built somewhat removed from the house. \u00a0Portion of this cellar still stands. \u00a0In the door of the old homestead was a spear mark where a spear struck into the door after an aboriginal had thrown it at Maria Elisabeth as she fled into the house. \u00a0She only just made it to safety.'
\n\n\t'In 1843 Christian had 3 acres of wheat under cultivation as well as 1/2 acre of potatoes. \u00a0He owned 6 cattle and 2 pigs. \u00a0After their marriage his two sons left the Hahndorf township and took up land at Friedrichstadt. \u00a0His daughter Eleonore and her husband Carl\u00a0FAEHRMANN\u00a0lived on the old homestead. Originally Christian and his family were members of Pastor Kavel's congregation but in 1851 they joined Pastor\u00a0FRITZSCHE's\u00a0congregation.'
\n\n\t\u200b'Christian passed away on October 4, 1858. It appears that he died\u00a0fairly\u00a0suddenly as his will, made in German, was only witnessed on October 2 of that year; the witnesses to the will were his sons Gottlieb and Christoph and Reinder van der\u00a0MOLEN'
\n\n\t'Maria Elisabeth was to have the use of the property, one room in particular, for the remainder of her life. \u00a0On her death the property was to go to Johanne Eleonore\u00a0FAEHRMANN.\u00a0\u00a0The homestead remained in the family until recent times.Christian was buried in the cemetery of the original\u00a0church where his resting place is marked by a simple tombstone, which is still standing.'
\n\n\t'Inscription on tombstones: Here rests in God, our beloved father, Johann Christian LIEBELT. \u00a0He was born on February 2, 1801, and died on October 4, 1858, aged 57 years, 5 months and 2 days. \u00a0Jesus, only in your wounds Have I found the sinner's comfort.
