• Notes

  His exact birth date is not known; the Mar 31 1661 date is of his christening. Bill Brobst has a copy of the birth and marriage records, in the German Pfalz file. Christophel was a master potter (Meistertopfer) in Middle Kandel. Church records call him a Burger and Haffner in Kandel. Church records show his name as Christoph, as do several historical reports. The birth dates shown for his children (except Eva Christina, Maria Sara, and Eva Christina II) are actually the baptism dates; the exact birth dates are not known Will was probated 1 Apr 1727 in Kandel; wife not living at that time. Actually, she had died a few weeks earlier. Why it took so long (8 years) for probate is not known, except perhaps that the younger children were not yet of age.
