Don't know if this is a fact: Lt. Kirchenbuch Lengfeld hatte sich 'Barbara, des Johannes Haldenstein hinterlassene leichtfertige Wittib des Teufels dermaßen blenden lassen, daß sie noch bei Leben ihres Ehemannes in seiner höchsten Krankheit sich mit ihrem Knecht Dieter Drinkaus eingelassen hatte und schwanger geworden'. Ein Jahr später heiratete sie Peter Heuß: 'ein junger Gesell, der ihr aber nicht beygewohnet', wie der Pfarrer 1651 bei ihrer Beisetzung im Kirchenbuch vermerkte.
English translation: Lt. Church book Lengfeld had 'Barbara, John Haldenstein bequeathed frivolous widow of the devil can so dazzling that it had in its highest disease admitted with life her husband with her servant Dieter Drinkaus and become pregnant'. A year later she married Peter Heuss: 'a young fellow, of her but not beygewohnet', as the minister noted in 1651 at their funeral in the church book.
