Notizen zu dieser Person
Birth:
He was born about 1699. He was probably born in the village Mainschhorn in the Steyerberg parish in Lower Saxony in Germany. (F1)
His parents were probably Johan and Gese Mohrman. (F13)
Childhood:
He probably grew up on farm No. 4 in Mainschhorn.
This was a farm of a Vollköthner. (F14)
Work:
He inherited a "Beibauer" farm in the village Bockhorn, which is in the nearby Sulingen parish from the deceased first husband of his wife. The farm was, at that time, in a bad condition. (See "Weinkauf" from 1728/1729 in the document "Hann. 74 Sulingen Nr. 555" in the civic archive of Hannover).
The farm is in an area called Sandheide and auf der Heide. (F1)
This farm is Bockhorn No. 3.
Marriage:
He married the widow Margarethe Elisabeth Bockhorn from the village Bockhorn on the 16th of September 1728 in the Lutheran church in Sulingen. (F1)
They raised a family in Bockhorn. (F1)
Death:
He died on the 18th of August 1776 in Bockhorn. He was a 77 years old widower. He was buried in the cemetery in Sulingen three days later. (F1)
Other Information:
1. The church books in Steyerberg start in 1566! The indexes start in 1714. Unfortunately there are no entries for the years 1699 and 1700. The current pastor, Dr. Brandy, did look for the baptism of Johann Mohrmann in the Steyerberg books. He could not find it. He suggested that the lack of records for these two years may be because the pastor changed at that time. Were the local babies baptised in a neighbouring church in 1699 and 1700?
2. A Johann Mohrmann aged 65 years from Sulingen was buried in Sulingen on the 28/4/1740.
