REV Jacob Scherer a Lutheran Minister and his son's Minister of the First English Sermon's and his three son's followed in his footsteps.  Not only Minister they open many Schools.



Notes:
Ancestry.Com
John Jacob Scherer was born Feb 7, 1785. He married first Elizabaeth Moser (b= Dec 5, 1787) on May 15, 1810 and they had 8 children. Michael Moser Scherer, Rev. Gideon Scherer born circa 1811 in Guilford Co, NC, Rev. Simeon Scherer born Oct 29, 1819 in Guilford Co., NC., Lee Scherer born ca 1813, Rachael born May 14, 1814 (m=David cormany Mar 16, 1833 and died Nov 12, 1863 in Columbus Texas). 

Elizabeth (Moser) Scherer died July 10, 1826 in Guilford Co, NC and then John Jacob Scherer married wife #2 a widow name Elizabeth Spoon (maiden name was Grieson) on Jan 8, 1827 in Orange Co. NC. Elizabeth Spoon had 2 girls from her union with Mr. Spoon. They are Eliza B. born May 14, 1823 and Sarah Eve born in 1817. Sarah Eve Spoon later marries her stepbrother, the Rev. Gideon Percy Scherer. John Jacob and wife #2 have 2 children together and one of then is Luther who is listed as the youngest son. I don't know which of the rest of the children go with wife #1 and which go with wife #2. The rest of the children's names are:John Jacob , Catherine, Mary Ann, Hannah, Leah, and Daniel. There is an interesting story about the marriage to wife #2. Rev John Jacob Scherer confirmed Elizabeth Grieson in the church, performed her wedding to Mr. Spoon, conducted the funeral for Mr. Spoon, and then he married her.

If you go to a website about the Handbook of Texas Online there are several articles about the Scherer's and also Colorado College which they founded. Another website is 

NC-FRIEDENSCHURCH-L@rootsweb.com which has alot of history on the Scherers. If you want more information, e-mail me at crossroadsc@aol. I have a copy of a diary of John Jacob Scherer Junior the brother of Gideon Scherer, too.

Gideon Percy Scherer

SCHERER, GIDEON (1811–1861). Gideon Scherer, Lutheran minister and founder of Colorado College, was born near Rural Retreat, Wythe County, Virginia, the son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Spoon) Scherer, on December 2, 1811. He studied in a country school and probably received further formal training, for he was a practicing minister when, about 1852, he and his wife decided to come to Texas to minister to German Lutheran immigrants. The Scherers made their way by the Kanawha, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, then to Galveston, and finally to Columbus, where Scherer organized a church. He served as trustee for the congregation in the acquisition of a town lot and the construction of a church building, which was completed by 1854. In 1857 he and his brother, John Jacob Scherer, founded Colorado College in Columbus. Jacob Scherer, their father, who was also a minister and had come to Columbus in 1854 at the age of sixty-nine, taught in the college until his death. Gideon had three sons and two daughters. His wife died before 1860. In 1858 ill health compelled him to resign his ministry; he died in Columbus on June 2, 1861.

COLORADO COLLEGE. Colorado College, in Columbus, was said to be the first Lutheran College in Texas. It was founded in 1857 by John Jacob and Gideon Schererqqv and their father, Jacob. J. J. Scherer was professor of ancient languages and president of the school. The board of trustees consisted of nine members, the majority of whom had to be members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Enrollment reached as high as 300. There were negotiations in 1868 to sell the three-story building to the First Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Texas. The IOOF Lodge purchased the school in 1871.

We regret to record the death of Mrs. Leah Snavely, which occured[sic] on the 9th instant, in Columbus, aged about 56 years. She was an estimable lady, long a resident of this city, and loved and respected by a large circle of friends. Her wants were kindly ministered to in her last hours by sympathizing friends, to whom her relatives are under obligations. She was originally from North Carolina, but has been a resident of Columbus for over twenty years. [Place of intermentunknown]
