Elisabeth Pötter, the daughter of Henrich Pötter, was confirmed in Istha (then in the Landgraviate Hesse-Kassel and now in northern Hesse, Germany) in 1650 (see images). [1] Given that children usually received their confirmation at age 12-16, this implies a birth in the late 1630s. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the preserved church records for Istha from 1636 to 1638, and no baptismal record has been found for Elisabeth. On 2 December 1659 in Istha Elisabeth married Niclaus Clap (see images). [2] Elisabeth was buried October 1715 in Istha (see images). [3]
Children
According to local genealogist Lutz Breidert, [4] Nikolaus and his wife Elisabeth had a total of 10 children in Istha:
Curt Clapp, baptised 12 March 1661, buried 6 May 1661
Gertraud Clapp, baptised 31 March 1662
Anna Catharina Clapp, baptised 3 February 1665, buried 21 January 1737
