| Notes |
- CARL HEINRICH METZNER was baptized in Sonnefeld on 1 October 1760 as the son of Heinrich Metzner, the herrschaftl. Kornmeßer [ administrative grain measurer ], and his wife, Anna Margaretha Oberender. Herr Schmidt did not have the dates and places for Carl’s marriage and death. But he had Carl and his wife, Eva Margaretha Grosch, still living on 4 May 1823, when their son, Johann Philip Metzner ( 1799 – 1828 ), got married in Sonnefeld. He was Herr Schmidt’s ancestor and the younger brother of Margaretha Barbara Metzner Stegner. On 18 September 1799, when Johann Philipp was baptized, his father was the herrschaftlicher Zehntbereiter [ district’s administrative messenger or hostler ] of Hofstädten and his mother was a native of Neuses am Brand. Philipp died in 1828 but his death record did not have a list of survivors so we don’t know if his parents were still living, as Herr Schmidt had died before he could finish his research.
