[Comments
by Maria Peres: "The signature page contains additional information for
some of the children, heirs, husbands and wives as follows:
Mathis
Beckh x (cross)
Catharina
Beckerin x cross dochter (daughter)
Andreas Wagner x dochtermann (son in
law)
Magdalena Beckerin, dochter,
ledig (daughter, single)
Dominic
Meyer als beystand (Dominic Meyer,
guardian)
Anna
Maria Pauli, Sohns frau (daughter in law)
Anna Maria Beckerin, dochter (daughter)
Hans Georg Kieffer x dochtermann
(son in law)
Michel
Albrecht, Beystand (guardian)
So,
men are named Beck or Beckh, and the women are named Becker (in). I believe
that Johannes could be burgher as son of a burgher, and young (19 years old as
on his mother’s Inventory - Inventory of Anna Maria Göltzer, 20 July 1740) ;
there is also a guardian named even for
a major son if he is absent at that time, or has some incapacity ; single women
of course do have a guardian also. Major women are represented by their
husband. It may be a mistake that Johannes was in fact not a burgher at that
time, only Mathis".]
