Philipp Heinrich Reiswig was born on March 1, 1815 in the Belowesch Colony, Tscheringov, Russia. He died after 1888, in Russia, on a lay missionary trip. We have no record of who his father and mother were. Reiswig was spelled Reusswig in Russia, and in Germany where the Reusswig family was originally from. Enticed by Katherine the Great's offer of free land, the Reusswig family left Germany, for Russia, in 1776. Unfortunately, no Russian birth, death, or marriage records have been found, for the family, until about 1807.
Philipp married Catharina Anna Philippina Kaftan on November 13, 1839 in Kaltschinowka, Grunau, Jekaterinoslov, Russia. We have records that Catharina and Philipp had eleven children. Only five are known to have immigrated to America. They were Conrad Johann Reiswig, Katherina Maria (Reiswig) Delk, Henry Johann Reiswig, Maria Elizabeth (Reiswig) Werner, and Phillip Johann Reiswig.
Philipp immigrated from Russia to the United States on the ship Suevia. He arrived in the port of New York on May 25, 1876 with his wife, four children, his eldest son, Conrad, and Conrad's wife and Conrad's family of five children, and Heinrich Bechthold, his wife, seven children, and his mother. From New York City, all three families, traveled to the Wittenberg North Township (then know as the Milltown West? Township), Hutchinson County, South Dakota and settled there.
When the Reiswig Seventh-day Adventist Church was formed on April 9, 1882, Philipp donated land for a church building. It is recorded that this Church was on Philipp's property on the banks of the James River.
On October 15, 1883, Philipp left New York for Russia. He traveled there as a lay minister for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He is known to have told families, in Russia, that they should immigrate to the United States. Any number of families, from Russia, immigrated to Hutchinson County, South Dakota and became members of the Reiswig Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Philipp stayed in Russia for two years before he returned to South Dakota. He left for Russia a second time in April of 1888. This time Philipp died in Russia, in an unknown location, and on an unknown date.
