Note

“This was the time of a tax revolt in the area, and in 1646 the Zurich government advanced by force of arms and occupied Wäldenswil, the town north of Richterswil on Lake Zurich. In February 1647 the Anabaptists left the Zurich area in the direction of the Rhine River (Map of the Kraichgau). This was near the end of the 30 Years' War (1618-1648) which had left much of Germany depopulated. A map ofdeaths due to war and desease has been created. Pfalz, in particular, had suffered population losses exceeding 50%. Because Oswald Bär sold his farm in Albis in 1649 and his family is not on the 1650census of Richterswil, they probably joined the older children.”^[9]
