Maria Margaretha and Johann Wilhelm Engel
I don't know when this couple married, let alone who their parents were. Johann Wilhelm may or may not be the son of Elisabetha and Johann Philip Engel born 22 Mar 1721 and christened in Freinsheim 26 Mar 1722 (sic).
Johann Wilhelm and Maria Margaretha had three children:
Anna Barbara born in 1750 is possibly the Barbara Engel, daughter of Wilhelm Engel, who died and buried in Freinsheim 16 Jan 1824. However, this would mean that she was 74 when she died and had never married.
I have no further information on this family.
Note: Most of the information I have on the Werner, Engel and Sohn families in Freinsheim from the late 17th to the mid 19th centuries came to me in 2004 courtesy of Siegfried Barth, archivist with the Verbandsgemeinde Freinsheim (Freinsheim Community Association). Where possible I've supplemented it with church records available at FamilySearch.org. Many thanks to Herr Barth and also to my late granduncle Robert Werner, who made the first contact and then recruited my help because he and Herr Barth had no languages in common.
