Biography

"Johannes Heimbach, b. 1680, son of Philipp Heimbach by his third marriage, lived at Seelbach and married in 1701 (banns Easter Sundaym, 1701) Elsa Katharina, daughter of Jacob Schneider of Seelbach, church elder and associate justice of the Hain Court. She died at Seelbach July 29, 1726, aged 48 years, her husband being still alive at the time. The death record would indicate that Elsa Katharina was born in 1678, but no baptismal record has been found for her; only Anna Cathrin, daughter of Jacob Schneider and Maria Magdalena his wife, of Seelbach, chr. the 27th Sunday after Trinity, 1676. It may be that Elsa Katharina and Anna Katharina were the same person and that there has been some confusion of names and dates here."^[1]

Johannes and Elsa Katharina Heimbach had twelve children, of whom two were not recorded in the baptismal register (but parentage shown in their marriage records). Maria Catharina, wife of Jost Heite was the godmother of the first child Catharina. Anna Margreth, wife of Jacob Schneider, was godmother of the second child Anna Margreth. Jacob Schneider was the godfather of sixth child (and second son) Johann Jacob. The godfather of the eldest son Peter (traditionally a relative on the father's side of the family) was Johann Peter Huettenhain.^[2]
