Notes for Johann Weckbecker
Source of his occupation: “Sevenich bei Muenstermaifeld in altre Zeit--Beitraege zur genealogie der Maifelder Bauerngeschlechter” by Hans Bossier, in “Die Maifelder ACKERMANN-Familie.” Source of the year of his birth: Manfred Ruettgers. Source of the information about his baptismal sponsorships in 1665, 1667 and 1677: FB Muenstermaifeld. Source of the other information: Records of St. Martin and St. Severus Catholic Church in Muenstermaifeld.
He was a baptismal sponsor in 1665 for Johann, the son of Jacob Ackermann and Maria of Metternich; in 1667 for Maria Elisabeth, the daughter of Johann Heitger and Gertrud Welsch of Wierschem; in 1677 for Johann, the son of Johann Schnor and Maria Stein of Metternich; in 1678 for Johann, the son of Anton Suesterhenn and Anna Maria Ackermann of Metternich; and in 1695 for Agnes, the daughter of his late sister Anna Maria Weckbecker’s son Wilhelm Heitger and Maria Pitsch of Metternich.
He may have been a baptismal sponsor in 1678 for Lucie, the daughter of Johann Kloeckner and Katharine Karst of Hof Feils, Metternich, and in 1699 for Johann, the son of Peter Suesterhenn and Anna Maria Windhaeuser of Metternich.
The church records listed him as “junior,” i.e., the younger. He was a synodalis in the Catholic church.
When Johann’s son Johann was baptized in 1664, Johann Heitger’s wife Anna Maria Weckbecker was a baptismal sponsor. She was described as the sister of one of the parents. This identified Johann (the father) as the son of Johann Weckbecker of Hof Feils.
Johann’s daughter Anna Katharine married Nikolaus Oster on the same day that Johann’s son Wilhelm married Anna Katharine’s half-brother Nikolaus.
