  [S2372] Hochstetler Family Website, Online; 2 July 2022; Jacob Hochstetler release from prison 6 March 1720. 0n March 6, 1720 the "Täufercammer" in the region of Bern was informed that "Täuferlehrer" Jacob "Hofstetter", who was born at Winterkraut nearGuggisberg and had been living in "Maria-Kirch" afterwards, was dismissed from prison after paying the costs (for his detention) and promising withhandshake not to return to his country again, from which he was banished. He said he wanted to help some Anabaptist women to emigrate.'[1] Thesame day in 1720 these women were ordered to be sent to their banished husbands, and their children should be regarded as strangers, so that theywould not be a financial burden to the local community.2[2] So one can suppose that in March 1720 Jacob Hochstettler, together with some Täuferwomen of Canton Oberhofen and their children, left Switzerland and went to Markirch.
