Maria Sophia Seltzer and Johann Henrich Willi

Johann Henrich Willi was christened in Freinsheim 16 Nov 1707, the son of Anna Catharina Schaffner and Johann Jost Willi. He married Maria Sophia Seltzer in Freinsheim on 08 Jan 1732. Maria Sophia was the daughter of Johann Georg Seltzer. I can't find a birth record for her, but her father may or may not be the Johann Georg Seltzer who married Anna Catharina Linter.

Maria Sophia and Johann Henrich had six children, all born in Freinsheim:

There may have been a seventh child. On 03 Feb 1761, Magdalena Willi, daughter of Henrich Willi, married Henrich Ehrhardt, son of Moritz Ehrhardt. There was no other Henrich Willi in Freinsheim at this time whose daughter Magdalena might have been. If she was the daughter of Maria Sophia Seltzer and Johann Henrich Willi, then when their son Andraeas married in 1770, he was marrying his brother-in-law's sister.
