August Lehmann and his wife Wilhelmine nee Schmidt received title to 94 Morgen and 160 Ruthen confirmed by the General Commission of Posen December 15, 1847 and registered February 29, 1852. This was the largest property in Polajewo Hauland at that time.
The Lehmann’s received the rights to the property from Wilhelmine’s parents Michael Schmidt (1783-1865) and Anna Christine nee Fedder by an inheritance contract registered on May 17, 1838.
Michael likely was the son of Christoph Schmidt from the 1793 Census. Michael and Anne Christine had at least five children: Johann Gottlieb (b. 1814), Anne Wilhelmine (1815-1868), Anne Christine (1819-1894), Anne Caroline, and Anne Louise. They also likely had an older daughter, Anne Rosine, who married Michael Henke.
At the time of the of the inheritance contract the Lehmann’s agreed to provide a life estate to the parents plus 200 Thaler, 2 cows, and a pig to each of Wilhelmine’s younger sisters payable at their majority or marriage. If one of the parents has died prior to the sister’s wedding the couple was responsible for half of the cost of the wedding. In addition, they agreed to provide sister Anne Caroline a fully made up bed.
Upon receiving the property from the General Commission the Lehmann’s held the property for only a short time. On November 26, 1852 they sold the property to Michael Joert (1817-1877) and his wife Wilhelmine nee Lüning (1816-1893) for 2,825 Thaler.
August Lehmann likely died shortly after this transaction. In 1853 the couple had a daughter, Albertine Auguste Lehmann, who was born in Gembitz Hauland. On December 14, 1855 Anne Wilhelmine had a son, Gustav Emil, with Friedrich Wilhelm Lehmann in neighboring Strozewo Hauland. August Lehmann and Friedrich Wilhelm Lehmann are not the same person. Following the death of Wilhelmine on April 16, 1868 the 48-years-old Friedrich Wilhelm remarries in 1869. In her 1875 marriage record Albertine Auguste records that her parents are deceased and her step-father Friedrich Wilhelm is a witness for her marriage.
On July 22, 1854 the Joert’s received another 38 Morgen and 113 Ruthen from the Radomski Estate.
The Joert’s partitioned the property on July 27, 1859. On that date they sold 15 Morgen and 166 Ruthen of pasture, 16 Morgen and 99 Ruthen of meadow, and 25 Morgen and 77 Ruthen of farmland totally 57 Morgen and 162 Ruthen for 1,400 Thaler to August Eichstadt. The partition was registered on September 28, 1859 as Property 9. At this time Property 4 was closed creating Property 21.
The Joert’s sold the remaining property by contract to Ludwig Hermann Fenner (1849-1931) and his wife Amalie Hulda nee Frieske (1855-1932) on May 16, 1872. Hermann Fenner may have been a nephew of the Joerts. His mother was also a Lüning from Wischin Hauland as was Wilhelmine nee Lüning Joert.
Herman and Hulda Fenner transferred the property to their son Otto in 1920. Otto held the property until the war.
