Children from Johann’s First Marriage

Lind Street

In my last post, I explained how I found parents for Johann Huber. He was born in 1657 to Mathias and Eva Huber.[1] He was married twice. With the second marriage, from which I descend, there were twelve children. At the end of the last post, I was wondering how many children were from his first marriage.

I now know the answer. There were ten children from his first marriage! Here they are:

  • Anna Maria, baptized 2 February 1681[2]
  • Maria Magdalena, baptized 30 January 1682[3]
  • Johann, baptized 28 April 1683[4]
  • Mathias, baptized 16 January 1685[5]
  • Michael, baptized 15 February 1686[6]
  • Eva, baptized 12 April 1688[7]
  • Catharina, baptized 23 November 1689[8]
  • Christina, baptized 11 February 1691[9]
  • unnamed child, baptized 1 December 1692[10]
  • Anna Maria, baptized 25 March 1694[11]

I do not have death records available for this town prior to 1726. I have not checked the marriage records for any of these children. All that to say, I do not know how many of these children made it to adulthood. There were two daughters named Anna Maria, so likely the older of those died young. The child with no name at baptism likely died shortly after birth. It is impressive to me, though, that Johann fathered twenty-two children.
