Anna Margaretha Weilbrenner and Reichert Weilbrenner
Anna Margaretha Weilbrenner and Reichert Weilbrenner married in Ellerstadt 22 Apr 1788. Anna Margaretha was probably the daughter of Elisabetha Neunzehnhöltzer and Johann Georg Weilbrenner christened in Ellerstadt 18 Jan 1764. Her mother was from Freinsheim.
Reichert was probably Johann Reichert, the son of Anna Maria and Johann Caspar Weilbrenner born 30 Jul 1764 and christened in Freinsheim 02 Aug 1764.
The couple who married in Ellerstadt may or may not be the Anna Margaretha and Reichard Weilbrenner who had two children christened in Freinsheim: Johannes Georg born 20 Oct 1789 and christened 22 Oct 1789, and Anna Christina born 24 Jun 1792 and christened 27 Jun 1792.
Johannes Georg is my best guess for the Johann Georg Weilbrenner who married Anna Maria Engel, apparently during the records gap.
Between 1792 and 1795, Anna Margaretha seems to disappear and a new couple appears: Maria Catharina and Reichard Weilbrenner. They had two children christened in Freinsheim before the records gap: Margaretha Elisabetha born 17 Sep 1795 and christened 20 Sep 1795, and Jacob born 11 Jan 1797 and christened 13 Jan 1797.
Maria Katharina Fäth and Reichert Weilbrenner
The Königlich bayerisches Amts- und Intelligenzblatt für die Pfalz includes a legal notice published 28 Apr 1838. Reichard Weilbrenner, a farmer and brickmaker resident in Freinsheim, had lost his wife, Maria Katharina Fäth. There was apparently some dispute over the property acquired by the couple, the "Errungenschaftmasse." The property consisted of a brick hut with brick oven, shop and well in Freinsheim by the "Heimthor" (modern Haintor?); a tree lot; 55 ares of arable land in three parcels and 47 ares of meadow in Erpolzheim. The whole was worth 1,945 florins.
The parties involved in the dispute were the widower and his son Johannes, plaintiff in the disposition ("Kläger auf Theilung"), against Reichard's daughters, Anna Elisabetha, wife of Johannes Stocke, and Katharina, wife of Georg Heinz. The daughters and their husbands were farming folk resident in Freinsheim.
Anna Elisabetha Weilbrenner married Johannes Stocke in Freinsheim 11 May 1824, suggesting that she was born before 1806. Maria Catharina Weilbrenner may have been younger. She married Johann Georg Heinz in Freinsheim 26 Oct 1830.
Was Maria Katharina Fäth the Maria Catharina of the 1795 and 1797 christening records?
Reichardt Weilbrenner, husband of Maria Catharina Fäth, died and was buried in Freinsheim a year after the legal notice was published, on 06 Mar 1839.
