Notes for JACOB ADAM GÜDEMANN: Jacob Adam moved from Vogelbach to Marzell, two miles to the north, about 1782 when he married Anna Barbara Krophin, a widow of Marzell. He was 28 years old and she was 43 years old.
Their first son, Johann Jacob, born two months after the marriage, died when he was five months old. Their second son, also named Johann Jacob and our ancestor, was born fourteen months later. We almost didn't make it. He was born when his mother, Anna Barbara, was over 45 years old. We can imagine that he may not have been a very healthy child. However, healthy or not at birth, we must conclude that he developed into a healthy, virile adult when we find that he had thirteen children by two wives, including my great-grandfather Fritz, and that he died at the of 69.
When they married, Anna Barbara was a widow with three children (a fourth had died at the age of six) , the youngest being seven years old. She had married Friedrich Leisinger of Wies, Baden, Germany, in 1755 when he was 32 years old and she was only sixteen and one-half years old. Strangely, their first child was not born until five years later. Friedrich Leisinger died in 1779 at the age of 55, and Jacob Adam married the widow three years later.
Our ancestors lived in Marzell from about 1782, when Jacob Adam moved from Vogelbach to Marzell and married anna Barbara Kropfin, to 1818, when he died there.
