Haguenau Notary Records: Soufflenheim Inventories 6E16

 

MARTIN CHRISTMANN 

10 January 1674  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory made after death of Martin Christmann, in his lifetime a burgher in Soufflenheim who died 14 days before Pentecost of passed 1673, leaving as heirs two children and his widow: Anna Kuster, the children named : Maria Magdalena and Simon. All this has been inventoried after the will has been opened and its content read by me royal notary of Haguenau. Passed in presence of Hans Jacob Schäffter mayor, Lorenz Schäffter forester of this area, and Hans Mez burgher and justice counselor, also Johann Jäckh, schoolteacher, all this on the 10th of January 1674. [A will written 1672 the 3rd of April in favor of the widow is not repeated in exact terms.]

 

HANS SIGEL

11 January 1674  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory and description of property left after death by the deceased Hans Sigel, in his lifetime a burgher of Soufflenheim, who died eight days before Christmas of past year 1673, leaving as his heir : a child born of him and of his widow Catharina, and named Maria. This inventory made by me here today in presence of Jacob Schöffter, mayor, Lorentz Schöffter, forester and Hans Metz member of the justice, passed in Soufflenheim the 11th January 1674.

 

[Hans Sigel's daughter Maria is listed as Maria Sigler in her 1707 Inventory. Both documents were double checked and the spelling is indeed Sigel and Sigler. They are linked together by the house and land records in their inventories. The description of the location of the house and three pieces of the land is either the same or very similar in both inventories. Maria Sigler (Siegel) married Mathis Kieffer in the mid 1690's. In another inventory written in 1710, a piece of land owned by Maria Sigler in 1707 matches a piece of land described as belonging to "Maria, Daughter of Hans Sigel"].

 

JACOB WAGNER / ODILIA WAGNER

1677 (no day nor month)  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory of the deceased Jacob Wagner, honorable and respected person, who after his death left the following complete property, and same of deceased Odilia Wagner, all they both have acquired and inherited together, in Soufflenheim as follows passed in year 1677. Goes to Johannes Wagner, heir, in the same place. Were present to this inventory: Hans Jacob Scheffer, mayor, Hans Metz and Joseph Burkhet, members of the justice counsel here in Soufflenheim.

 

[At the end of the inventory it is states " The farming material has been taken by Martin Wagner as mentioned in the account and estimate letter". Martin Wagner is not listed as an heir but he must have been somehow related to the deceased.]

 

BARTHEL GIGER / CATHARINA GIGER

1677 (no day nor month)  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Left by the right honorable and respected Bartell Giger, and Catharina Giger both deceased, their complete property that they have inherited or acquired as follows, in the year 1677. In presence of Hans Jacob Schäffer, mayor, Hans Metz, Hans Kierr, Johannes Jäckh members of the justice council in Soufflenheim.

 

[The names of the heirs are not known. Hans Dundt paid 24 gulden for a garden at auction. The inventory then states that "Each heir has so to be paid 6 gulden". So there must have been four heirs. The inventory mentions Mathis Giger (relationship to deceased unknown) paying Hans Dundt 25 gulden for the house. Hans Dundt's (relationship to deceased unknown) name is prominently listed at the beginning of the page listing assets to be inherited (distributed?), but neither Hans Dundt nor Mathis Giger is specifically listed as an heir. A person named Hans Martin Giger is mentioned as owning land adjacent to property inherited, so there are at least two other male Giger's living in Soufflenheim at this time. Perhaps Catharina's maiden name was Dundt]

 

HANS HERDELL /  MARIA

18 February 1678  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory of the complete property left at time of death by the honorable and respected Hans Herdell, as well of the deceased Maria, including what they have acquired and earned together, established as follows. Passed in Soufflenheim, February 18th, 1678.

 

[There is no specific mention of heirs. However, on the second page is written the name Adam Herdell. No relationship to the deceased is given. The assets received by Adam are then listed. Halfway through the inventory the name Johannes Wagner is written, and again no relationship to the deceased is given. The assets received by Johannes are then listed. So Adam Herdell and Johannes Wagner must have been related in some way to the deceased. Perhaps Maria's maiden name was Wagner.]

 

HANS KIEREN

09 August 1678  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory of the deceased honorable and respected Hans Kierren former justice counselor in Soufflenheim, describing all his property, that has been acquired in common with his wife Christina. Passed August 9th, 1678. Leaving as heirs : 1) His widow Christina [remarried to Urban Frey], 2) their son Adam, 3) their daughter Eva. Martin Kirr is guardian of the two children.

Have attended this inventory and partake: Hans Jacob Schäffer mayor of Soufflenheim, and Hans Metz, justice counselor, Martin Kirren, guardian of the children, and Johannes Jäckh, scribe of the justice council there. 

 

CLAUS TREYER / MARIA TREYER

11 March 1679  Haguenau 6E16 #269

Inventory of the deceased respected and honored Claus Treÿer and of Maria Trëyer deceased, what both have left after their death behind them, this complete property what they have acquired and inherited themselves, passed and written the 11 March year 1679. Claussell Treÿer [Beneficiary and presumably their son. He may have had a sister named Marie - also a beneficiary]. Present at this inventory were: The mayor Hans Jacob Schäffter in Soufflenheim, and Hans Metz, member of the justice council and guardian of Claussell, and Johannes Jäckh, scribe.

 

[COMMENTS BY MARIE PERES: This document is not clear ; I always fear to explicitate in a wrong way ; what is sure is that both are dead (weyland Clauss Maria sellig) both deceased.

Then : I doubt unless they were a couple the mention “what they acquired and inherited together” could apply to a brother and sister, even if they lived together and single.

Then, Claussell (a boy’s first name, such as Claus) means young Clauss or small Clauss, and in the inventory they mention his guardian, so he is minor of years, unless this refers to a previous record when the house (at time on inheritance of parents ?) was received ? in this case Claussell would still have been a young boy, and his sister refers indeed to Maria (but never named a such) : or there are two heirs (never precised) Claussell and his sister.

The inventory was made in assistance of the mayor, and of the guardian of Claussel, Hans Metz ; no mention of the sister, perhaps major of years and married ; but there is no allotment.

One line also says “I have received” : so this must be Claussell, at this date, and Maria his sister.

In this case Claus Treÿer and wife Maria Treÿerer (eventually born under a different name, had two children also named : Claussel, and Maria.]
