Notes

Johann Burckhard's name as deceased appears in J. Christian Krahmer's 1926 transcription of the Kocherthal records of the West Camp Lutheran Church on 3 Jan 1712 when his widow Elisabetha Burckhard remarried to Johann Adam Soeller, widower of Eppingen, commune Brockheim, Palatinate. Johann Burckhard was said to have been formerly a citizen of "Ober-Mopstatt in the Wetterau, earldom Isenburg." ^[1]

One line of the Isenburg Grafschaft included Büdingen, suggesting that Mockstadt may be Burckhard's correct place of origin. When Johann's daughter Margaretha married Joh. Peter Sutz 1 Nov 1714 her dec'd father was recorded as being from "Ober-Magstatt, earldom of Isenberg." The spelling as Mockstatt was given at the marriage of Johann's son Peter Burckhard 5 Nov 1717.

"Die Grafschaft Isenburg-Büdingen, auch: Ysenburg-Büdingen, in der südöstlichen Wetterau im nordwestlichen Main-Kinzig-Kreis und südöstlichen Wetteraukreis, war das Herrschaftsgebiet des gleichnamigen Grafengeschlechts, das im Jahr 1628 infolge einer Teilung der Grafschaft Isenburg entstand." [from the German Wikipedia]
