Stephen Thomæ was apparently the only child of Katharina Hartmann (1607-1669) and her first husband, Christoph Thomæ. He married Cordula, the daughter of Superintendent Michael Buchenröder of Heldburg, and their children, as well as Christian's own children, are listed on this page. Stephen's parents were married on 4 November 1628 but Christoph died on 6 June 1634. Katharina then married Johann Möring on 30 January 1637. They had at least four children. Although he was a baker, Johann was the city Kirchner with the Church of St Lorenz in Hildburghausen. He died on 13 January 1676. His parents were not known. But Katharina's parents are known. She was the second daughter of Antastasia Scheder (died 2 January 1659) and her first husband, Johann Hartmann, the Senior Mayor of Hildburghausen (died 5 June 1615). The parents were married on 21 October 1606 but, after Johann died, his widow married, on 1 March 1647, the Tuchmacher [draper] Paul Thein, who died on 11 December 1678.

This is based upon the Kirchenbuch record of Anastasia marriage:
From Chip Kalb:
By the way, when I got your reply, I was eyeballing Joel Seigler, Margaretha Klipper andMichael Scheber up and down that Klipper Genealogy. I couldn’t find anything wrong with any of them until I got to that infamous item about “Ihme sein Schwager Herr Joël Siegler des Rhats alhier” in that verdammt will. When I read it as “my brother-in-law Mr. Joël Siegler of the [ City ] Council of this place [ Hildburghausen ]”, I remembered that, like the English language, the German language is not carved in stone. It is always changing with the times, and not just in the spelling. As any etymological dictionary will show in any language, words do not always keep the same meanings. What might make perfect sense to Martin Luther in 1516 would not make any sense to his descendants in 2016!
So I looked up “Schwager” in Ernest Thode’s German-English Genealogical Dictionary. Here is his definition : “brother-in-law ; father-in-law ; relative ; good friend.” ( It was the same in Ye Olde English. ). So, when Michael Klipper wrote his will in 1606, Joël Siegler was still his “good friend”, not his “brother-in-law”. He didn’t become his brother-in-law for real until 1614, when he married Anastasia’s mother.
So why was Anastasia described as a privigna of Joëlÿ Siegler? If her father had ever left a will, it is not available online. But, if he did make his will, we can assume that he took his real brother-in-law’s suggestion and made Mr Siegler the legal guardian of his children. Even if he didn’t, there might be bonds of guardianship for his children. So, when Anastasia’s marriage record called her the privigna of Joëlÿ Siegler, it meant that she was his ward, not his step-daughter. That means that her father, Michael Scheber, was already dead by 1606.
