Notes for Matthias (Spouse 1)
His baptismal sponsors were Matthias Heucher and Anna Kraemer, both of Landkern. Matthias Heucher was the son of Nikolaus Heucher and Maria Lauxen of Villa Beauweiler in Landkern. He married Gertrud Knoeper of Illerich in 1739 and lived in Landkern. Anna Kraemer was the daughter of Anton Kraemer and Margaretha Schuster who was born in 1731 in Landkern and thus the first cousin of the child.
A Matthias Heucher of Landkern married Anna Christine Steegman in 1766, Anna Maria May in 1770, and Sophie Lauxen in 1782. There were two possible individuals who could have been this person: (1) Matthias, the son of Matthias Heucher (originally of Fahrendeierhof in Landkern) and Anna Schuster who was born on March 5, 1746 in Landkern; or (2) Matthias, the son of Matthias Heucher (originally of Villa Beauweiler in Landkern) and Gertrud Knoeper who was born on September 1, 1746 in Landkern.
Based on an analysis of the baptismal sponsors of the children of Matthias Heucher and his wives, it is clear that they had more connections to the Heucher family from Fahrendeierhof than to that from Villa Beauweiler. Moreover these baptismal sponsors had connections with the Schuster family but none with the Knoeper family as would be expected if Matthias’ mother were Gertrud Knoeper. Thus the husband of Anna Christine Steegman, etc. was identified with the son of Matthias Heucher and Anna Schuster.
