Notes for JOHANN GÜDEMANN: Johann moved from Endenburg to Kaltenbach, three and one-half miles to the north, and married Maria Strohmeyer of a prominent Kaltenbach family in1676.
In 1676, when Johann married Maria, the village name was spelled Kaltbach. The spelling was later changed to Kaltenbach.
When Maria was born in 1677, she was the first Güdemann to be born in the remote Kander River Valley (the Kandertal) in the South Black Forest. From that time on all Güdemanns born in the valley were descendants of Johann Güdemann and Maria Strohmeyer. The Güdemann name still has a presence in the village of Marzell, Baden, Germany; and the Strohmeyer name is quite common in the valley to this day.
When Johann and his wife, Maria, died within eight days of each other in 1699, they left four children ages four to twenty years old, the eldest being our ancestor Jacob. When he married Margaretha Pfunderin, of nearby Lütschenbach, seven months later, we may surmise that the newlyweds cared for the three younger siblings.
Johann (1643) was a carpenter.
