Notes for Johann Port
Source: Records of St. Martin and St. Severus Catholic Church in Muenstermaifeld.
His baptismal sponsors were Johann Kieselbach and Helena Margarete [Berresheim] Port. His name was also spelled Portz. As was the case with his father’s marriage, Johann was identified as the husband of Gertrud Einig and then Katharine Esch because of the names of the baptismal sponsors for his children and because positions such as villicus electoralis tended to pass from one family member to another in the next generation.
He was a baptismal sponsor in 1740 for Anna Maria, the daughter of his sister Anna Maria Port and Martin Oster of Muenstermaifeld, and in 1753 for Johann, the son of his sister Lucie Port and Johann Heinrich Prum of Muenstermaifeld.
He may have been a baptismal sponsor in 1745 for Johann, the son of his sister Lucie Port and Johann Heinrich Prum of Muenstermaifeld; in 1748 for Gertrud, the daughter of Johann Adams and Elisabeth Constantia Kieselbach of Muenstermaifeld; in 1749 for Johann, the son of Anna Maria Vier of Cochem and Georg Anescka, in Gierschnach; and in 1768 for Johann, the son of Peter Kern and Anna Elisabeth Oster of Muenstermaifeld.
