The Ancestors of Mathilde Marie Elisabeth EGGERS
6G Grandparents
448 Bartold PÖHLS. (Parents: Unknown) Bartold was born in Barkhorst, Holstein. He died before 1650, probably in Barkhorst. He was a cottager in Barkhorst, which was a possession of the Holy Ghost Hospital [Heiligen Geist Hospital] in Lübeck. In 1642, he transfered his property to his (future) son-in-law, Heinrich MEIN, who married his daughter, Gesche, and became a retired farmer on a life estate [Altenteiler]. He is believed to have married Catherina (maiden name unknown), although there is a possibility that she was actually his mother or mother-in-law, and not his wife. Bartold and his wife had the following children (there may have been others):
449 Catherina (maiden name unknown). (Parents: Unknown) Catherina was born in about 1566, possibly somewhere in Holstein, and died in about 1666, probably in Schossin, Mecklenburg. She was buried on 17 February 1666. It is generally presumed that Catherina was the wife of Bartold PÖHLS, but she may actually have been his mother or mother-in-law. Her death record in the churchbook at Parum, Mecklenburg, states that she was 100 years old at the time of her death. It also states that she was the mother of Jochim SAGER’S wife, who was Sielke, a daughter of Bartold PÖHLS. These two facts appear contradictory, since if she was 100 years old at the time of her death, she likely would have been in her 60s when Sielke was born.
450 Heinrich SCHMITT. (Parents: Unknown) Heinrich’s birthplace and date are unknown. He died in 1657 in Denschendorf on the island of Fehmarn, which lies just a short distance off the east coast of Holstein. He was buried on 6 November 1657. Heinrich was reportedly a blacksmith on Fehmarn. The name of his wife is unknown. Heinrich had the following children (there may have been others):

484 Hans HOLST. (Parents: Unknown) Hans was born in about 1597. It is asserted by some that he was from Klein Meinsdorf near Plön in Schleswig-Holstein and that he came to Mecklenburg during the 30 Years War. This, however, may be another person with the same name. Hans died on 3 March 1674, probably in Groß Rünz, Mecklenburg. He worked Farm No. VIII in Groß Rünz and was a Lutheran.
