Anna Maria (Wehr) Hasselbacher

Anna Maria is my (Peter's) 5G Grandmother.  I was lucky to find her birth, marriage and death records in the Diespeck churchbooks.

Comments:

• In my general experience, death records in the church books do not provide as much information as do birth and marriage. Additionally, the format seems to me to vary more than those others. With that said–
  
  
• The fact that the age at death was calculated to the nearest hour suggest that the minister had access to the birth record. That makes it more likely that she was born in Diespeck. (In her marriage record, her father was described as a farmer from Diespeck.)  Last month when I was there, I did not think to look for her birth under her maiden name. I was focusing on Hasselbacher names. Next time! [In fact, I already had her birth record!]
  
  
• In 1815 when her husband Johann Georg was 49, he was referred to as a "feudal subject" and inhabitant, and not as a farmer. It is not clear to me what if any distinction can be made. I was unfamiliar with the term Lehns-Unterthans before. I d not recall seeing it in the records of other Hasselabchers of this time but will have to pay more attention.  Was Johann Georg more of a "serf" than his neighbors? I still do not understand the terms of his marriage. I will try to work on that.
  
  
• I cannot yet translate the cause of death.
