In the year 1766.

In Goersdorf :

Guardians account made by ANDREAS MOESSNER for his guardian children : the minor children of deceased MARIA MAGDALENA BIESSER, wife of the deceased JACOB BÜRGER, in their lifetime both residents in Goersdorf.

Compares in this place Andreas MOESSNER, in Goersdorf to present the account of the four children by first marriage ; in presence of Johannes JÜLG, both undersigned with the lawyer.

The minor children are :

Maria Eva Dorothea, aged 21 years and 7 months.

Maria Anna, aged 19 years and 7 months.

Johann Nicolaus, aged 17 years and 7 months.

All this made according to the inventories of property made after death of mother on the 30th of August, 1754, and of the father on the 16th of April, 1765.

 

Noted first : that after the death of his first wife, MARIA MAGDALENA BIESSER, the widower and father remarried to MARIA, born HÜTTLER, and that a son named MATHIAS was born to them, now aged 7 years and 3 months. This son received as guardian, Johannes JÜLG, the Inn landlord of the Liebfrauenberg, who is here as witness of how the account is presented.

Several sales of the property left have been made by the guardian in the name of the children:

An auction of the house on the 11th of January, 1766 in Woerth.

Sales of land on the 30th of September, 1765 for 199 Gulden.

Clothes of the father sold on the 23rd of May, 1765.

 

Note : ANDREAS MESSNER is probably an uncle of the children as he is married to a BIESSER girl.

It appears that there was much more property as later, more accounts are presented after the death of Nicolaus BÜRGER.

There was a Decision of Justice in Wissembourg on the 11th of July, 1765 because of the various marriages, wills and to guarantee the rights of the children.

Liebfrauenberg is a pilgrimage and dependence of Goersdorf.
