Catharina Huck and Johannes I Ehrhardt

Johannes Ehrhardt and Catharina Hux or Huck were married in Freinsheim on 15 Sep 1817. Unfortunately, the marriage record doesn't supply their parents' names. My best guess is that Johannes was the son of Anna Maria Stocke and Johann Heinrich Ehrhardt born 05 Dec 1790. He was later referred to as Johannes I Ehrhardt as younger men named Johannes Ehrhardt reached adulthood in Freinsheim.

Catharina and Johannes I had nine children, all born in Freinsheim:

Johannes I was buried in Freinsheim on 23 Sep 1848. I have no further information on Catharina Huck or on any of the children except the younger Johannes and Charlotta.

Charlotta Ehrhardt and Heinrich Kall

Charlotta married Heinrich Kall, the son of Elias Kall and Charlotta Franck, in Freinsheim on 22 Mar 1849. They had a son Heinrich, christened in Freinsheim 22 Jul 1849. He married Elisabetha Freiermuth, the daughter of Georg Friedrich II Freiermuth and Margaretha Gabel, in Herxheim on 10 Sep 1891. (This is most likely Herxheim am Berg, 3 km west of Freinsheim, rather than Herxheim bei Landau, 45 km south.)

Charlotta Schön and Johannes III Ehrhardt

Johannes married Charlotta Schön, the daughter of Anna Maria Schön, in Freinsheim on 25 Mar 1852. Charlotta was christened in Freinsheim on 25 May 1831.

In later records Johannes was known as Johannes III to distinguish him from his father and from his cousin, Johannes II Ehrhardt. He and Charlotta had three children, one of whom died young:

Charlotta was buried in Freinsheim 17 Nov 1860. I have no further information on Johannes III or Wilhelm. However, I think I might know what happened to Anna Maria.
