Maria Magareta Barth was the first of three wives of Nickel Lang. A little more than a year after their marriage, Maria Margareta gave birth on February 3, 1725, to a son, Johan Adam, who was baptized February 6. The sponsors were Johan Adam Schaus of Schoneberg, Johan Theobald Barth of Kübelberg, and Maria Magdalena Schwartz(in) of Waldmohr.
Later entries in the church book of the Miesau Reformed congregation indicate that Nickel's first family was ill-fated. Maria Margareta died February 16, 1725, less than two weeks after the birth, apparently due to complications from childbirth. The child did not quite reach the age of ten months before he died, too.
"1725 Nov 27 – Buried Johan Adam, little son of Nickel Lang of Obermisau, who died November 26. 35 weeks 1 day."
