Anna Christina Hohl and Johann Adolph Pirmann

Anna Christina Hohl and Johann Adolph Pirmann, a farmer by trade, married in Freinsheim 02 Dec 1824. Johann Adolph was the son of the Johann Philipp Pirmann who died in 1828, who was probably the Johann Philipp Pirmann whose wife's name was Christina. Anna Christina was most likely the daughter of Anna Christina Willi and Johannes Reichard Hohl as they were the only couple having children christened under the name Hohl in Freinsheim between 1761 and the beginning of the records gap in October 1798.

I haven't been able to find birth records for either Anna Christina or Johann Adolph. I would assume that both of them were born between October 1798 and 1806.

Anna Christina and Johann Adolph apparently had only one child, a son named Reichard who was born 04 Dec 1825 and christened in Freinsheim 07 Dec 1825. Johann Adolph died and was buried in Freinsheim 21 Oct 1854. Anna Christina died and was buried in Freinsheim 02 Jan 1863.

Catharina Muth and Reichard Pirmann

Reichard born in 1825 married Catharina Muth on 28 Dec 1852 in Obrigheim, 11 km north of Freinsheim. The marriage record gives Catharina's date of birth as 14 Sep 1824. She thus might be the Catharina Muth, daughter of Charlotta Margaretha Schwerdt and Konrad Muth, who was christened 18 Sep 1824 in Colgenstein, a village next to Obrigheim. The only hesitation I have in making this assignment is that there's a second Catharina Muth born in Obrigheim in 1824 - no month or day given - who married Georg Conrad Emmerich in Obrigheim 30 Apr 1846. Georg Conrad's wife died 20 Apr 1863 and was buried two days later in Colgenstein, so we're definitely talking about two different women. However, Georg Conrad's wife may have been one of the two women named Catharina Muth who were christened in Colgenstein in June 1823.

Catharina and Reichard had three children, all christened in Freinsheim:

I have no further information on this family.
