The progenitors of the Clark County Imles, Christoph Frederick
and Anna Maria came from the German state of Württemberg, today part of
Baden-Württemberg, created in 1952 by merging three states formed after the
second world war. It was once a duchy in the Holy Roman Empire, but became a
kingdom when the empire was dissolved in 1806. Christoph’s ancestors had lived
in the area for centuries, for at least eight generations of Imles. Württemberg,
an agricultural area with orchards, grains, hops, and vineyards, had a long
history of producing red wines, and Christoph Frederick was one of the many inhabitants
tending vineyards.
