The Weigman Family of Kühschmalz, Kreis
Grottkau, Schlesien (Silesia)
Compiled by Paul Zebe
Contents
Introduction
|
I am descended from Johann Casper ("Casper") Weigman and his
wife Anna Rosina.� Casper was a "Freigärtner" (i.e., the
proprietor of a small farm�of perhaps 5 to 25�Morgen who was free
of most feudal dues) living in the village of Kühschmalz (or
more accurately in the separate part of the community of Zindel,
the so-called Zindelseite, that was co-located with
Kühschmalz) in Kreis Grottkau during the second and third
quarters of the 18th Century.� His ancestors are currently
unknown, as are those of his wife, whose maiden name is also
unknown.�
Casper first appears in the churchbooks of the Catholic Church
of Kühschmalz in August 1723 in a church record indicating
that he was a bachelor.� In an April 1728 church record, he is
first identified as�a Freigärtner.� The record also
indicates that he was still a bachelor.� A church record from
June 1729 identifies him as a Freigärtner, but no longer as
a bachelor.� Based on this, he probably married sometime between
April 1728 and June 1729.� Unfortunately, no marriage record has
been located for Casper and Anna Rosina.�
Casper and Anna Rosina had eight children, four sons and four
daughters, the eldest (my ancestor) baptized in 1730 and the
youngest in 1752.� At least five of them survived to adulthood.�
As adults, those children lived in the villages of Falkenau
(Catholic parish of Falkenau), Hammer (Catholic parish of
Falkenau), Kühschmalz, and Winzenberg (served by the
Catholic church in Winzenberg, an adjunct of the Catholic parish
of Koppitz), all in Kreis Grottkau.�
I would be happy to hear from anyone else who is also
descended from this family.

Relationship
with the Scholz Family
|
Between 1730 and 1790, a period of 61 years, the Schol(t)z(e)
family of Hönigsdorf, Groß Carlowitz, and Grottkau -
Heinrich Ignatz Scholtze, schoolmaster at Hönigsdorf, and
wife Maria Barbara; Johann Joseph Scholtz, schoolmaster at
Groß Carlowitz, wife Anna Rosina, daughter Rosalia, son
Franz Carl, and son Joseph; Franz Carl Scholtz, schoolmaster of
Groß Carlowitz; and Joseph Scholz, Royal Tax Clerk at
Grottkau, and wife Philippina - provided godparents for all 8
of the children and 24 of the grandchildren of Johann Casper
Weigman and his wife, Anna Rosina. This indicates that the two
families had strong ties. The nature of those ties is
unknown.
|
Relationship with the
Lux Family
|
The Lux family of Kühschmalz - Johann Matthias Lux,
baker and innkeeper in Oberkühschmalz, wife Anna Regina,
wife Maria Barbara, and son Carl Joseph - provided godparents
for all 8 of the children of Johann Casper Weigman and his wife,
Anna Rosina. The Lux family also provided godparents for decades
for children of the Scholz family. In fact, the relationship
between the Lux family and the Scholz family outlasted the
relationship between the Weigman family and the Scholz family.
This would seem to imply that the Lux family had ties with both
of the other families. The nature of those ties is unknown.
