The Stamms of Wisconsin arrived in the third group of immigrants. An influx of Stamm families settled in the upper Midwest, along with the largest immigration of German speaking people to America. Most arrived after 1848. The early records indicate a number of places of origin including; Nassau, Palatine, Saxony, and even Russia. These families may not have been closely related to each other. It should be remembered that this was the period of heaviest German immigration, therefore there were many Stamms arriving each month. The 1860 census of Milwaukee lists over 20 records for Stamm in Milwaukee alone. Using the various public records several Milwaukee family lines of Stamms can be constructed.
The following charts are a compilation of some of the Stamm families of Wisconsin. Generally this listing is in chronological order based on the “first Wisconsin date” for the individual family. So members of a family might be born in 1820, but if the first known Wisconsin appearance of the family is 1880 - the listing is marked as 1880. If a second date is listed, that indicates the year the family moved away from Wisconsin. In some cases a title has also been added to the line - indicating something particular about that family group. Also these family groups are probably not discrete all family units. It is very likely that some (many) of them will be linked together as more details unfold. Although my own Stamm family is incorporated into the body of this document, I have an additional biography and source materials at the end of this work.
Many of the early Milwaukee Stamm’s lived on Reed, Clinton, and Greenbush Avenues. This 1885 map shows the near south-side of Milwaukee.

Second Wave of American Stamms - Early 1800
The second wave of Stamm immigrants occurred in the early 1800’s, with the families settling in Ohio and Kentucky. These families seem to have been attracted by the prospect of economic enhancement. The families farmed the lush lands along the Ohio River.
A John Stamm was one of the first members of this migration. In the 1820 census of Kentucky, seven Stamms are listed in Rockcastle County. One of the large Kentucky/Ohio Stamm families traces back to Philip Peter Stamm (b. Niedermor 1793). This family lived first in Brown County, Ohio and then later in Lewis County, Kentucky. This family along with all of its descendants is well chronicled in Edward J. Ronsheim, Sr’s 1954 genealogy The Stamm Family of Ohio and Kentucky.
Starting in 1830 with the July Revolution in Paris, central Europe was awash with discontent. There were a number of liberal uprisings all through the German states. Many Germans wanted to form a new, more liberal, government similar to the British model. Throughout the 1830’s and 40’s the educated middle class rallied for freedom of speech, trial by jury and elected representation. These causes were touted primarily by university students and professors with the support of lawyers and journalists. With each wave of protest came more harsh governmental crackdowns. The revolutionary atmosphere peaked in 1848 when the Austrian Emperor was driven from the throne. The new emperor, Franz Joseph I harshly crushed the rebellion and many of the educated liberals were driven from German. The “48ers,” as these German refugees were called, marked a new period of German immigration. Starting about 1850 the Stamms coming to America seemed to be politically driven and many of them settled in the upper Midwest.

Colonial Stamm Families
North American Migration 1730 - 1848
For the early migrations of the Stamm family, we are indebted to Edward Ronsheim’s The Stamm Family of Ohio and Kentucky (1954). Ronsheim reports that the Stamm family followed the Moselle River to the north and the Rhine south into Switzerland. There appears to have been at least three waves of Stamms entering the United States. The first immigrations to America occurred just after to 1700 and consist of the Pennsylvania branch of the family. The second wave occurred in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s settling in Ohio and Kentucky.
The Stamms entering America in the early 1700’s were motivated primarily by the call of religious freedom. Although Ronsheim asserts that the earliest Stamms were Lutheran, many of the families came for Switzerland and were adherents to anabaptist sects like the Mennonites. Of course, many of the Stamms of the Hesse had been Catholic. The combination of religious prejudice and the nearly constant wars of central Europe caused a great many of these families to flee to America, and more specifically to the pacifistic colony of Pennsylvania. According to I. Daniel Rupp’s A Collection of Upwards of Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776, between 1682 and 1702 fewer than two hundred German families emigrated to North America. Almost all of these families settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania. These were mostly Plattdeutsch (Low Germans) from Cleves, a Duchy in Westphalia. Daniel Pastorius and family are generally cited as the first Germans to settle in the Americas. They arrived on August 20, 1683.
The first twenty-five years of the eighteenth century saw between forty and fifty thousand Germans emigrating. Many of these Germans went first to England, where they suffered great privations. Fully seven thousand souls, half starving and despondent, returned to Germany. Ten thousand died in England of their privations. Three thousand of the Germans in England were moved to Limerick, Ireland and became relatively prosperous citizens. Over four thousand of the Germans who had gone to England were shipped to the new world. But less than 2,300 survived the passage. Slowly settlements of German speakers sprung up from North Carolina to New England. Most of Germans arrived as indentured servants with an obligation to work for the crown of England. New York, typical of the colonial governments, severely abused this conscript labor: denying adequate food and housing. This treatment by the English caused many to “escape” to the relative freedom of Pennsylvania’s forested wilds.
Freed from the repressive colonial governments, the Germans in Pennsylvania built prosperous farming communities. Governor Thomas in 1738 wrote, “This Province has been for some years been the asylum of the distressed Protestants of the Palatinate, and other parts of Germany; and, I believe, it may truthfully be said, that the present flourishing condition of it is in a great measure owing to the industry of those people; it is not altogether the fertility of the soil, but the number and industry of the people, that makes a country flourish.”
The earliest recorded Stamm in the new world was Conrad Stamms, “one of the 45 Palatines and their families” who reached Pennsylvania on the 5th of September, 1730. Conrad Stamms, along with one hundred and thirty other persons, arrived on the ship Alexander and Ann, captained by William Clymer. A list of the other earliest arriving Stamms would include:
1730, September 5 - Conrad Stamms on the Alexander and Ann
1734, September 23 - Peter Stam, age 21, born c. 1713, on the Hope out of Rotterdam
1740, December 3 - Adam Stam, age 24, born c. 1716 on the Samuel
1741, September 5 - Peter Stam and Johann Stam on the Francis and Elizabeth out of Rotterdam
1742, September 21 - John Adam Stam and Werner Stam (brothers) on the Francis and Elizabeth
1743, September 5 - Johann Jacob Stamm on the Charlotte
1743, September 30 - Johannes Stamm on the Phoenix
1774, September 30 - Adam Stam on the Union out of Rotterdam
Other records give some indication of the areas of settlement for these “first Stamms.” Jacob Stom was given a land grant of 100 acres in Philadelphia County on September 30, 1748. Other pioneer Stamms in America include: Henrich Frederick Stamman (age 43 via the Neptune) and Adam Stamm who sailed the Union into Philadelphia on September 30, 1774. The records of the German Reformed Church of Philadelphia list several Stamm marriages (Maria Sibilla Stamm to Heinrick Pfohlenz on December 17, 1761, Elizabeth Stamm to Abraham Zieger on July 21, 1791, and Johann Rudolph Stamm to Maria Kuhn on December 31, 1796) By 1800, the federal census of Pennsylvania listed 58 Stamms. Most of these families settled in Berks County surrounding the city of Reading, but other pre-Revolutionary War Stamms settled in all of the Atlantic colonies and even along the Mississippi in Louisiana.
The September 21, 1742 arrival of brothers John Adam Stam and Werner Stam represent one of these early families. Natives of Switzerland, the brothers sailed onboard the Francis and Elizabeth captained by George North. There were 141 male emigrants on the vessel and most settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Origin and Background of the Stamm Family
The Stamm surname can easily be traced to its etymological roots. It is, in fact, a rather common word in the modern German language. The masculine noun “Stamm:” means “tree trunk or stem.” The concept of the base of a living object has allowed the word’s meaning to be extended to that of “family tree or race.” The usage has been further extended to a number of terms, “Stammhaus - the family home,” and “Stammbaum - the family tree or pedigree.”
The name is the root for a number of other common German surnames. As such it is referred to in a half dozen German Namenbucher. The name “Stamm” appears in Max Gottschald’s Deutsche Namenkunde. Some names derived from the Stamm root are; Stam, Stammel, Stamme, Stammer, Stammiger, Stammen, and Stammerich. In some cases the vowel has changed to an “e.” This produces variant names such as; Stenn, Stemmen, and Stemmerigren.
The family name seems to have its origins in the former German state of Nassau and the Palatinate. Frankfort would be the most central location for the families’ geographical spread. If one were to draw a line from Kassel through Frankfort and on to Saarbrucken, one would have the early range of our family in Germany. The name is generally associated with the German state of Hesse and prominent German Stamm families are found in the area bounded by Marburg, Wetzler, and Giessen.

The masterful work of Moritz Stamm
continues the Stamms of the Hesse until the brink of the 20th century. The
above brief accounting only goes through the first 46 of the 257 Stamm’s listed
in that work. The information transcribed stops after the children of Rudolf
Wilhelm Stamm (25) – [Moritz Stamm, Geschichte der Familie Stamm in Hessen,
1912, to page 67] A copy of the complete work is on file with the Genealogical
Society of Utah. While it is likely that there is some connection between the
Hessen and Milwaukee Stamm families, the Moritz Stamm book does not show any
migration to the New World, nor can any direct connection be made to the
Milwaukee branch of the family
