Magdalena Willi, Anna Maria Stocke and Johann Heinrich Ehrhardt - x 2?

Magdalena Willi and Johann Heinrich Ehrhardt

Johann Heinrich or Henrich Ehrhardt was born in Freinsheim 14 Dec 1731, the oldest son of Anna Maria Rausch and Johann Moritz Ehrhardt. He was christened 18 Dec 1731.

He married Magdalena Willi in Freinsheim on 03 Feb 1761. The marriage record states that Magdalena father's name was Hennrich. She's probably the daughter of Johann Henrich Willi and Maria Sophia Seltzer, but I haven't been able to find a birth record. In her children's baptismal records she's referred to as either Anna Magdalena (1761, 1764, 1769) or Johanna Magdalena (1767 and 1772). The overlap in the years suggests that the records are about the same woman.

The couple had five children:

• Johann Henrich born 14 Nov 1761, christened 15 Nov 1761;
• Ludwig born 07 Sep 1764, christened 11 Sep 1764;
• Wilhelm born in early May 1767, christened 06 May 1767;
• Susanna Margaretha born 10 May 1769, christened 11 Mar 1769; and
• Johann David born 09 May 1772, christened 10 May 1772.

It's possible that Wilhelm Ehrhardt born 1767 is the Johann Wilhelm Ehrhardt buried in Freinsheim 02 Apr 1823.

Anna Maria Stocke and Johann Heinrich Ehrhardt ("Jr"?)

On 13 Jan 1784 Johann Heinrich Ehrhardt, father's name not given, married Anna Maria Stocke, the daughter of Johannes Stocke. This may be a second marriage for the older Johann Heinrich - he would have been 53 at time - but more likely it's the marriage of his oldest son age 23.

The couple had six children that I can find records for. Keep in mind that Protestant christening records in Freinsheim end after September 1798 and don't resume until January 1816:

• Johann Heinrich born 18 Jun 1784, christened 19 Jun 1784. Does the fact that a younger son was named Heinrich indicate that Johann Heinrich was deceased by May 1788?
• Susanna born 05 Dec 1785, christened 06 Dec 1785. Does the fact that a younger daughter was named Susanna Elisabetha indicate that Susanna was deceased by Sep 1798?
• Heinrich born 23 Mar 1788, christened 24 Mar 1788;
• Johannes born 05 Dec 1790, christened 06 Dec 1790;
• Johanna Magdalena born 06 Nov 1795, christened the same day; and
• Susanna Elisabetha christened 11 Sep 1798.

I believe Johannes to be the best candidate for the Johannes Ehrhardt - later known as Johannes I Ehrhardt - who married Catharina Huck 15 Sep 1817.

It's possible that either Susanna born 1785 or Susanna Elisabetha born 1798 was the mother of Johannes II Ehrhardt. However, my best guess is that Johannes II's mother was the sisters' cousin Susanna born 1793, the daugher of Johann Heinrich's brother Johann Wilhelm.

Johan Heinrich Erhardt was buried in Freinsheim 13 Jul 1840. His wife Anna Maria Stocke was buried in Freinsheim 23 Nov 1845.
