He was a baptismal sponsor in 1710 for Maria Eva, the daughter of Matthias Huenthen and Margarete Lintz of Muenstermaifeld; in 1721 for Matthias, the son of Philipp Birlo and Anna Elisabeth Mey of Muenstermaifeld; in 1724 for Katharine Barbara, the daughter of his stepdaughter Maria Johanna Kieselbach and Johann Peter Oster of Muenstermaifeld; in 1745 for his grandson Matthias, the son of Heinrich Adams and Lucie Puelicher of Muenstermaifeld; and in 1752 for Katharine Barbara, the daughter of Peter Kern and Anna Elisabeth Oster of Muenstermaifeld.
He may have been a baptismal sponsor in 1737 for Matthias, the son of Johann Peter Merten and Anna Maria Kohlbecher of Muenstermaifeld. The child’s grandmother was his sister Anna Maria Adams. He also may have been a baptismal sponsor in 1750 for Matthias, the son of Heinrich Eschbach and Katharine Barbara Oster of Muenstermaifeld.
Notes for Elisabeth (Spouse 1)
Source: Records of St. Martin and St. Severus Catholic Church in Muenstermaifeld.
Her baptismal sponsors were [her mother’s brother] Hermann Froelich [of Moerz] and Elisabeth [Marx, the wife of] Johann Weckbecker, villicus (manager) in Hof Feils, Metternich.
Elisabeth Sevenich, the wife of Johann Anton Kieselbach, was identified as the daughter of Johann Heinrich Sevenich and Anna Maria Froelich because of the pattern of baptismal sponsors in her family. She was identified as the wife of Matthias Adams because of the timing of her marriage (about 1710) and the pattern of her children from her second marriage becoming baptismal sponsors for her grandchildren from her first marriage.
She was a baptismal sponsor in 1693 for Anton, the son of Thomas BIver and Elisabeth Muench of Muenstermaifeld; in 1694 for Elisabeth, the daughter of (Georg) Matthias Duemmeler and Maria of Muenstermaifeld; in 1695 for Johann Anton, the son of her husband’s first cousin Johann Kieselbach and Anna Margarete Mader of Muenstermaifeld; in 1709 for Elisabeth, the daughter of her sister Anna Maria Sevenich of Muenstermaifeld and Anton Kawry (?) in Muenstermaifeld; in 1711 for Peter, the son of Friedrich Merten and Anna Maria Adams of Muenstermaifeld; in 1714 for Elisabeth, the daughter of Cornelius Saur and Maria Adams of Muenstermaifeld.
She may have been a baptismal sponsor in 1716 for Stephan, the son of Peter Kern and Clara Gail of Muenstermaifeld, and in 1720 for Heinrich, the son of Heinrich Schwelf and Katharine Buechel of Muenstermaifeld.
