Notes:

Was the pastor of St Leonhard Church in Friesau, Germany from 1638 - 1646 according to http://www.friesau.de/wehrkirche-st-leonhard/pfarrerliste-copyrightinfos.html. He was the 3rd pastor of that church.

After he graduated from the University at Jena he tutored the children of the “Sulfur Mountain” Lord at Breittenbach for 1-1/2 years. For the rest of the time until he became pastor at Friesau he tutored the children of Andreas Steiner. At it was probably there that he met his future wife, Elisabetha Steiner.

Michael shows up in both Allgemeine Deutsch Biographie (Universal German Biography) and Deutsches Sagenbuch (German Book of Legends), and also in the catalog of funeral sermons (along with Stephan Thomä and Herman Crell). He wrote and preached four funeral sermons. He also wrote and published several pamphlets, including his Congratulations to Cordula on her wedding date (she must have been Daddy's little girl) and an opinion that compared the Vatican to Gog, Magog and the other devils. He's also in the biography of the Sabbatai Zevi, the self-proclaimed Jewish Messiah, as one of the Protestant leaders of the opposition.

He was also the pastor of Ebersdorf.

Buchenröder: Michael B., born 10 October 1610 in Steinfeld near Hildburghausen and educated in Rodach and Coburg, studied at [the University of] Jena theology and philosophy, acted as private tutor in Breitenbach in Thuringia and Möschlitz in the Vogtland and then was pastor of Friesau and Ebersdorf and finally in 1646 Superintendent of Heldburg, where he died 18 July 1682. Through his writings, in three of which he strongly rejected partly intensified and partly new attacks on the Protestant faith appearing after the Thirty Years War and in which a piece of cultural history of his times is described, namely, Die Lästerungen des Kapuziners P. Markus ab Ariano [The Blasphemies of the Capuchin Father Markus of Ariano], Den angeblich damals neu erstandenen Messias [The Alleged Then Newly Resurrected Messiah] and Die üppig aufgeschossenen Wundermänner [The Abundant Constant Miracle-Workers], he has earned an honorable name.

719. The Poltergeist of Schwickershausen

[Page 473] In the District of Heldburg lies a village with the name of Schwickerhausen, and in it there lived a farmer called Hans or Heinrich Kegel. The week before Easter in the year 1666 [Palm Sunday, 8 or 18 April 1666], he heard a little tap under the standing bed in the room and caught sight of the ghost, which looked like the Hinzelmann [household fairy], had the figure of a child, but with a golden crown on its head. It said only that it was an angel, and that it was the spirit of a recently deceased woman. With a little bit of courage, he held out his hand and felt that its little hand was icy cold, and shuddered. But it promised anyone, who holds out his or her hand to it, a treasure of nine thousand ducats, which made the people so brave, that for such a considerable sum, they held out their hands to the devil and his grandmother's hand with joy. From there, the racket went off in the house until nobody could bear it, and from the house it spread with the frightful ghost to the whole village, so that the peasant at wits' end over their bodies and their souls sent for the pastors of Hellingen and Heldburg, who went off together, the Heldburger called Magister Buchenröder and the Hellinger Johann Hase. They said to the peasant of Schwickershäusen, that they wanted to offer their own handshake for such a filthy bargain to the living Devil in person, which frightened the peasant almost to death. Now, the pastors began to heal with honest prayers and sermons, which did not please the spirit in the least; it cried out, "Give me a child, so I would leave!” – “The hell you shall have, but no child!” exclaimed the Pastor of Hellingen, and since he would not give the spirit [page 474] any soft words, it let out a long and steady stream of profanities [literally, “cauterwauled with broad words for a long time”]. Since the ghost would not yield, neither did the Hellinger pastor, until his extraordinary persistence after [1 or 11 June 1666] the Monday night after Trinity Sunday brought the spirit to the surrender. Thus it had knocked and pounded, rumbled and blasphemed three times for three weeks, yet he was finally subdued by the prayers, as long as the preachers stayed with [literally, "listened to”] the Scriptures: But we want to stop at the prayers and words of the Gospel, and so must the hobgoblin from Schwickershausen, the spirit of superstition, surrender; however, the true, shape-shifting Hinzelmann did not really surrender at the same time, because it was still in the very recent times and crowds are flocking at the same place to a faith-healer and wise man, who can do more than just taking money [literally, “eating the bread”].

***************************************************
The following was compiled by Wilbur Hanson Kalb:
Michael Buchenröder is in Dr August Beck’s 1865 biography of Ernst the Pious, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg, because his advice and services were valued by the Duke.  When the Duke died in 1675, funeral sermons were preached in his name throughout the Duchy.  One of them came from Buchenröder.   But, as shown by Google Books’ search engines, he appears only once in the main body of the biography, when Dr Beck, the Ducal Archivist of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha under Duke Ernst II, writes about piety, the defining characteristic of the Duke.  Looks like the Duke had been corresponding with the Rev. Buchenröder.

The German original :

Die frühzeitige Gewöhnung an jene geistlichen Beschäftigungen machte auf Herzog Ernsts empfängliches Gemüth einen so tiefen und unauslöschlichen Eindruck, daß er beim Heranwachsen auf weltliche Vergnügungen mit fast gleichgiltigem Auge hinblickte.  Sein Sinn ward von der Vergänglichkeit alles Irdischen auf die Ewigkeit des Ueberirdischen hingelenkt.  So sagte er einst zu dem Superintendenten Michael Buchenröder zu Heldburg :  „was hat man doch von zeitlichen Ergötzungen in der Welt?  nichts als Beschwerungen und Müdigkeit ; das ewige Gut macht rechten Muth”.  In allen seinen Handlungen, selbst als er den Jahren nach noch Kind war, offenbarte sich eine christliche Gesinnung, ein bedächtiger Ernst und jene heilige warme Liebe, welche alle Menschen mild umfaßt.

The English translation :

The early habituation to those spiritual occupations made so deep and indelible an impression on Duke Ernst’s receptive mind that, when he was growing up, he looked at worldly pleasures with almost an indifferent eye.  His purpose was drawn from the impermanence of all earthly things to the permanence of the supernatural.  As he once said to the Superintendent Michael Buchenröder of Heldburg :  “What do we have of temporal pleasures in the world?  Nothing but weight and fatigue ; the eternal good makes proper courage.”  In all his actions, even when he was still a child, a Christian sentiment, a deliberate earnestness, and that sacred warm love, which gently embraces all men, was revealed.

Michael Buchenröder, born 1610. October 18th, in Steinfeld near Hildburghausen. His father was Nicolaus Buchenröder, resident there, his mother Kunigunda Kilianin. He did the prima literarum rudimenta at the school in Eißhauſen, afterwards at Rodach well, then attended the Raths school in Coburg, from which he was promoted to the grammar school. After he had spent 9 years at Coburg and perfected himself in linguis: & artibus liberalibus that he had been recognized as capable of taking up the Studia academica, he moved to the University of Jena in June 1632, and then for the fourth year remained. His preceptors were in Philosophicis M. Stahl, in linguis Paul Schlevogt, in Theologicis Major Himmel and Sal. Glaſfius. Because the enemy incursion meant that he had lost his entire patrimony, even the house of his grandfather Andreas Kilian's in Rodach, which had come to him in the inheritance, was burned down and put in the ashes, otherwise everything in Francken was also spoiled, he has himself for want the Sumtuum from Jena and to Breitenbach in Thuringen, and with a Schwefelberg gentleman in the 1 1/2 years as an informer for a child. Then he turned to the Vogtland, as he soon found a good condition with the then pastor of Möschlitz and Hoff preacher at the castle, M. Andrea Steiner (who soon afterwards became Adiunctus zu Linienroda and ultimately Archidiaconus and Conſiſtorialis to Regensburg ) The children he informs for a while, and since I did exercise in the preaching, God graciously agreed that in 1638 he went to the parish of Friea and Branch Ebersdorf, where he d. 26. Maj. Dom. I. p. Trin. I gave a probationary sermon and was ordained in the castle. What he endured with this parish for tribulation, persecution, danger of war, plundering and ruin of a parish child within 9 years, has never been consumed from him without tears.
A. 1646. On the 21st Sunday after Trinity he did the prob sermon at Heldburg, received the vocation, and cathedral. I. p. Epiph. 1647, kept his suit, and is cathedral. 6. p. Trinity in the high presence of Duke Ernst of Gotha, inuestiret by the Superintendent General, D. Sal. Glassium, as he has rarely recorded in the church book, or as others report by M. Christoph Laurentii, Superintendten of Königsberg. Regardless of whether he was immediately disposed of by such wonderful and unexpected sending of God from the parish Friesa, who was very dangerous because of the unrest at the time, and was yelped into several security: “Oh, dear Creutz followed him on foot from the Vogtland to the Francken-Land . By being subjected to many adversities, misery, pressures and war troubles in the local area, and even endangering life and limb, Since the local city was overrun by a party of hostile whites. And since they want to set fire to the upper suburb with all their might, because they don't want to let them in, he eats around under fire and bullets and has asked to be saved. Although the danger was very great, that is, that someone would be killed on one side: God gave grace that he could get away unharmed and undamaged, and received so much from an anxious prayer that the threatened fire remained naked , and the soldiers, brokered an amicable transaction and money, withdrew again.
He has the reputation of being loyal to his office and has always been very graciously held by Duke Ernst. He died blissfully 1682 on July 13th and cathedral. V. P. Trinity was buried in the 72nd year of his age, and 44th of the Ministry, after he had been superintendent for 36 years. The corpse sermon is from the Deacon, Lawrence Schumann about Matthew Xl. 28-30. held, and promoted to print. These circumstances are taken from the attached Lebenslauff, as well as what should be further from his family and scriptural community.
In 1638 he married the maid Elisabetha, Steiner's great-great-granddaughter D. Max. Morlini. V. Thoma Licht p. 366 Mr. M. Andreas Steiner, pastor to Möschlitz, his eighteenth-century court daughter, with whom he lived happily for the 44th year and had 15 children, as 11 sons and 4th daughters. Of these, 7 sons and 2nd daughters died before him, the other sons are three of them to the theologico studio, and the fourth to the apothecary art, also all of them together with the two daughters, to honor, and resp. public church offices in his life, all of him (which is a rare happiness) were marred, of which he also had 38th little daughters.
The eldest, Michael Buchenröder, comes downstairs as pastor to Hellingen and Biberschlag for. His most worthy sons, however, Mr. Johann Christoph of Westheim and Mr. Johann Andreas, pastor to Burden, can remember with joy the hundred-year-old goodness of God, which ruled over them and their family (from 1646 onwards, since their blessed grandfather became Superintendent) In this principality. What a grace God would long to ride for them and their people.
The second son, Samuel Buchenröder, is the pastor of Rentweinsdorf in the Reichsfreyen Ritterschetzt Canton Baunach Vorden.
The third, Johann Buchenröder, apothecary in Heldburg, married Anna Barbara, Herr Lazari Bauer, daughter of the council there, and produced a son who appears among the pastors at Lindenau.
The fourth Georg Caspar Buchenröder has become pastor in the Swabian region of Amlishagen.
The eldest daughter, J. Anna Elisabetha, married in 1660. The pastor of Memmelsdorff, Mr. Johann Hessen.
But the youngest, Johanna Cordula, 1665: Mr. Stephan Thomä, pastor and adjunct to Sonnefeld.
How he has now propagated the memory of his taking through his children: so he has made his Andescken immortal no less by his published writings, these are partly printed in front of their eyes, partly they are still in Manuscript hidden,
When the Turkish power turned against Christianity in 1663, he wrote a Tract de duabus as Gog and Magog (*) Next, another Tract de irruptione Gog and Magog inmones Israel borumq. finali excidio, printed in Jena.

(*) This treatise from Gog came out in 1663 at Leipzig in Quart under the name of the faithful Eckart, alias Aetophi Franconis, and the dedication to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm zu Altenburg geipso Natiuitatis Chr profesio 663. He probably did not rename his name deßwilen, further against the papacy quite a bit. Ä and has brought much hated testimonies of the truth from her own history. That he is the real Author, however, is proven by his words, which he has drawn with his own hand in the copy which he venerates the Adjuncto zu Lindenau M. Hattenbachen: Viro reuerendo plurimum & Clarissimo Domino Mag.Jonae Christiano Hattenbach, Adjuncto Inspeélionis Heldburgen- Ä Pastori in Lindenau dignissimo, Vigilantissinó, Domino Compatri, Confratri & Amico meo dilectissimo suauissimo hunc labellum dono mittit cum omnigena salutis apprecatione in Exodio anni 1653. Autºr Mich. Buchenröder. The title actually means, Ratio status Qrbis Turcici & Christianisiue Gog dux alac, I. populorum externorumin foedus & societatem assumtio. lI. Christianorutu interna dilcordia, maxime adhuc formidabiles & metuenda viuis coloribus expresse from Eckardo fideli alias Alethophilo Francone.

When the Jews wanted to make a lot of talk and seduction about a newly created Messiah, he wrote the urgent Messiah Jüden-Post against it, which was printed in Nuremberg in 1666.
In his old age, about 2 years before his end, he published 2nd tracts against the well-known Capucinist P. Marcumab Aviano, namely:
1. Correct answer to the question whether the Evangelical Lutheran Church or the New Roman Church has fallen away from the right, true, old, first, Apostolic Catholic Roman Churches? and which church to the old and first churches today Coburg 1681 by Johann Conrad, Mönch; the same sluice: Dabantur in H.

Treasure over all treasures, or desired blessed heaven-faith of believing Christians in death. 2. The true gospel. Church heaven histories in four parts. 3.

From Chip Kalb.

As you know, the Protestant German states were not big fans of the Popes.  So, when Pope Gregory XIII reformed our Christian Calendar in 1582, all the Catholic countries, including Bavaria and Würzburg, immediately adopted it but many of the Protestant countries kept using the Julian Calendar for many more years, even after it shortcomings became painfully obvious.

In 1610, the whole Hildburghausen area belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg.  At that time, John Casimir was the Duke.  He was such a hardcore Protestant that it’s unlikely that he would ever allow the Gregorian Calendar to be used anywhere in his Duchy, even as his Catholic neighbors were using it all around him.  In fact, Saxony didn’t make the switch until 1699.

So we are going to assume that, when Michael Buchenroder was born in 1610, Saxe-Coburg was still using the Julian Calendar.  According to this Calendar, Trinity Sunday was 3 June 1610 and the 19th Sunday after Trinity was 14 October 1610.  That’s why Michael’s baptismal record is dated, “In the Year of Our Lord 1610, on 15 October, after the 19th Sunday [ past ] Trinity. [ Anno Christi den 15 October nach den 19 Sontag Trinitatis. ]”.  In the Gregorian Calendar, 15 October 1610 is 25 October 1610 so Michael’s “birthday”, 18 October 1610, would be 28 October 1610 !

MICHAEL married Steiner, Elisabetha on 30 Oct 1638 in Heldburg, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany. Elisabetha (daughter of Steiner, Andreas and Küffer, Elisabetha) was born in 1620 in Klosterlausnitz, Saale-Holzland-Kreis, Thüringen, Germany; died on 1 Mar 1695 in Heldburg, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany; was buried on 5 Mar 1695 in Heldburg, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany.

I had my friend Wilbur Kalb take a look at the Georg baptismal record.  He was appalled at the handwriting, the Latin, the German and the bad abbreviations.  This is what he came up with:

berg [ in Franken before 1920, in Bayern after 1920 ] & Veilsdorf [ in the District of Hildburghausen ], Count Palatine [ Pfalzgraf ].

Additional Wilbur provided this information on Georg Achatius Heher:

He was baptized as Georg Achatig Buchenröder but his middle name was switched to Achatius because it was the Latinized surname of his only godparent, Georg Achatz Heher, JD ( 1601 – 1667 ), the German jurist, diplomat and administrator from Nuremberg.  When Michael’s son was born, Herr Heher had been living and working in Heldburg as the Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of four districts, including Heldburg and Eisfeld, since 1648, when he was appointed by Ernst I, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha.  Herr Heher is famous enough to have his biography in the German Wikipedia ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Achatz_Heher ) but, since it is not available in English, here is my English translation :

Georg Achatz Heher ( also Achatius ; born 30 December 1601 in Nuremberg; † 22 May 1667 in Rudolstadt ) was a German lawyer, diplomat and chancellor.

Heher was a son of the lawyer and diplomat Georg Heher.  He first grew up with his grandfather [ Hülsin ] in Altdorf near Nuremberg.  From 1616 to 1620 he attended the University of Altdorf, then followed his father to Vienna, who represented the Evangelical cities of the Swabian Circle there.  There he came into contact with diplomacy.  After returning to the University of Jena, he returned to Altdorf in 1623.  In Altdorf he finally received his doctorate in law.

Heher settled in Nuremberg in 1624 as a lawyer.  In 1625 he was sent to Vienna.  There he received an audience with Emperor Ferdinand II on 25 August 1635.  Other embassies followed.  In 1629 he came to [ the Free Imperial City of ] Speyer and then toured Switzerland, France and Italy.  At the same time, he completed a career as a courtier.  In 1628 he became an assessor at the Lower Court in Nuremberg and a consultant in Altmühl, then in 1630 a Municipal Court consultant in Nuremberg.

In 1632, Heher accepted an appointment as Hofrat [ Court Councilor ] in [ the Prince-Bishopric of ] Würzburg, but in 1633 he went to Regensburg as Vice Chancellor and Director of the War Chancellery.  After the Swedish defeat, he was able to return to Nuremberg in 1636, where he again hired himself out as a consultant, with the German Order as one of his clients.

Heher was appointed government councilor of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha in 1640, but was initially able to remain in Nuremberg despite this obligation.  Like his father, he became an imperial Pfalzgraf [ Count Palatine ].  The honor was given in 1644 by Emperor Ferdinand III.  As early as the next year he was sent to Münster and Osnabrück to negotiate the Peace of Westphalia.  He represented the Duchies of Saxe-Gotha and Saxe-Weimar as well as the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg.  For his services, Duke Ernst of Saxe-Gotha appointed him Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of the towns of Königsberg, Heldburg, Eisfeld and also of Veilsdorf in 1648.  Thereupon Heher left Nuremberg and moved to Heldburg.  In 1652, Duke Wilhelm von Saxe-Weimar accepted him into the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft [ Fruit-bearing Society ] as “Der Mitteilende [ The Communicator ]”.

Heher continued to take over embassies.  From 1649 to 1650 he represented the duchies at the Friedensexekutionskongress [ Peace of Westphalia Congress ] in Nuremberg, later he was envoy at the negotiations of the Reichstag in Regensburg for the Jüngste Reichsabschied [ Last Closing Ceremony of the Reichstag ].  From 1659 until his death he was finally Chancellor of [ the County of ] Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.  For this he moved to Rudolstadt.

From "Licht am Abend"

Johann Christian Thomæ was born in the house of his grandfather in Heldburg on 5 April 1668. The father was Rev. Stephan Thomæ, formerly Pastor of Weisenfeld, later of Neuhaus, and finally Adjunctus of Sonnefeld. The mother Madame Cordula, daughter of Michael Buchenröder, Superintendent of Heldburg. After he was privately educated by Rev. Joh. Martin Seifert, now Pastor of Steinach, Rev. Georg Möring, now Third Class of [the Collegiate School of] Neustadt an der Aisch, Rev. Georgio Kochen, then Pastor of the Holy Cross in Coburg, now deceased, he came in late May 1679 to Coburg for the Primary Class [at the Collegiate School] and was promoted 1682 to the Great Princely Gymnasium. After he matriculated 1686 at the bottom of his class [de paupertate studio forum = Latin, “of the poverty of the study of the form”], he entered on 14 May 1688 the University of Jena. In the year 1697, on 25 February, he received a Vocation to the Rectory of this place [Neustadt an der Aisch], on 3 March, his pastor's uniform, and began the 5th of that month his work in the name of GOD. The Monday after Misericordia Sunday [15 or 22 April 1697], he was installed as the Cantor of the Spiritual Lower Court in the presence of the entire Collegiate Council, however has led his office for almost a fourth of a generation hopefully not without blessing, and it appears that he is consumed in this work as a light in the service of GOD, and yet taken without none of his predecessors dead in office, whom he would first make as a rule, “and the rectory makes a mortal immortal [Rectoratum hactenus immortalem mortalem].“ In print, he has (1) made in the honor of his blessed father Rev. Stephan Thomæ, and 1707 set the memorial, (2) published in 1720, Den in der Augen der Welt unglück seelige, in GOttes Augen höchst=seel. Zustand eines truen Schulmanns [The in the Eyes of the World tragically dead, in the Eyes of GOD most blessed State of a true Schoolmaster], a pamphlet for the funeral of the Kirchner, Rev. Eyring, and (3) this present work.

From Wikipedia:

Johann Christian Thomae (* 5. April 1668 in Heldburg, Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg; † 19. March 1724 in Neustadt bei Coburg, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg) was a German historian and a rector of Neustadt bei Coburg.

The English translation of Thilo Krieg’s biography of Johann Christian Thomæ:

47.  T h o m a e , Johann Christian, historian and biographer
( 1668 – 1724 ).
On 2 November 1717, an “Actus oratorius” [ oratorical ] took place in Neustadt to celebrate the “Jubilaeum Lutheranum Secundum” [ Luther Bicentennial ], designed by the rector of the town school Johann Christian Thomae.  Among other things, in the church, a number of boys were told about the life and deeds of Luther to his death and burial.  This process — as reported by Albrecht Meno Verpoorten, the then superintendent of Neustadt, in the preface to Thomae's Licht im Abend [ “Light in the Evening” ] — prompted good friends to propose that the speeches should be published with explanations.  In this way, as Verpoorten continues, especially since there were not any particular accounts about the Reformation in Coburg, in Thomae the idea of “collecting the information about churches and schools, which are available since the Reformation, as much as possible, and thus to preserve the same against destruction or oblivion, and to facilitate the same work for the descendants [ die noch bey Handen habende Nachrichten von Kirchen und Schulen, seit der Reformation, so viel thunlich, zu samlen, mithin dieselbe vor gäntzlicher Zernichtung oder Vergessenheit desto eher zu bewahren, und den Nachkommen dergleichen Arbeit zu erleichtern ].”  “It seems to me”, writes the Rector himself, “as an irresponsible impertinence against God, if we did not endeavor to preserve the blessings of our leaders, who have now been announcing the Word of God to us for two hundred years [ Mir kam es, als eine unverantwortliche Undanckbarheit gegen Gott vor, wenn wir nicht das Andencken unserer Lehrer, die uns nun zwenhundert Jahr das Wort Gottes verkündiget, im Segen zu erhalten uns bemühen wollten ].”  The will turned into action, and a work came to light, which was at the core of a description of the lives of the Evangelical preachers and city schools and colleges in the Principality of Coburg, as well as yielding a rich trove to the friends of history as well as explorers of biography, and whose value as a reference will not fade away.

The outer life of Johann Christian Thomaes lacks remarkable experiences.  In the house of his grandfather, the superintendent Buchenröder, he was born in Heldburg in 1668 ( 5 April ).  His father, Stephan Thomae, was a pastor in Wiesenfeld, on his maternal side he could trace the family tree back to the Coburger Superintendent Dr. Maximilian Mörlin.  A student at the Casimirianum in Coburg from 1682, he went to Jena in 1688 and followed his call as a rector to Neustadt in 1697.  As for his activities as a teacher, we learn from the description of one's life, written by General-Superintendent Erdmann Rudolph Fischer.  In 1701, Fischer went to the school in Neustadt.  “Everywhere I go,” he continues, “I have enjoyed the faithful teaching of the frail but skillful and untroubled Rector, Johann Christian Thomae, of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, to my great benefit [ Allwo ich, des treuen Unterrichts des, dem Leibe nach gebrechlichen, aber sehr geschickten und unverdrossenen Rectoris, Herrn Johann Christian Thomae im Lateinischen, Griechischen und Hebraeischen, zu meinem großen Nutzen genossen ].”  A lengthy stay of the Rector in the sickbed caused this schoolmaster to retire from Neustadt earlier than he wanted.  “For under Him,” he adds, “I could have done so much more [ Denn unter ihm, hätte ich noch vieles vor mich bringen können ].”  In the Rectory, Thomae died, almost fifty-six, in 1724 ( 19 March ).

Notes:

I'm glad to hear that, even though your eyes are getting bleary from slogging through "Licht am Abend", you're as happy as a bug in a rug. Well, you'll be happy to know that I have finished the English translation of the biography of Stephen Thomas Thomä. As a cradle Catholic, I'm not familiar with the Reformation terminology so it took me a while to figure out what the heck did Rev. Christian Thomä meant by this and that. So that's what he meant when he wrote that Father "informed the oldest sons"! He was actually home-schooling them, including Stephen Thomas. "Convictorio" was a term used to describe a pastor's assignment and service. Johann Christian Thomä's biography is two pages long so it'll take a while to translate it into English.

But, first, a couple of words - As you probably know from my English translation of the Hildburghausen timetable, the Church of St Lorenz was the main church of the town but it was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1779. "U.L. Frauen" is the holdover from the Catholic past of Hildburghausen. It's short for "Unsere Liebe Frauen", German for "Our Blessed Lady", who is of course the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. But this church doesn't exist anymore, too. They were both replaced by the present Evangelical Churches - the Christus and the Neustadter - and the Catholic Church of St Leopold.

And how the feature presentation . . .

The original German version:

Stephan Thomas Thomæ, ist ein Sohn Hn. Stephani Thomæ, Adjuncti in Sonnenfeld, und Fr. Cordulen, einer gebohrnen Buchenröderin, gebohren den 27. Maji 1679. Er genosse die Information in dem väterl. Hause, so lange biß er 1696. sich auf das Coburgische Gymnafium begeben kunnte, Allhier perorirte er, weil er im Convictorio die Carpzovische Frerstelle einige Jahre genossen, 1699. de laude Carpzoviana. Anno 1700. gieng er auf die Univerfität Jena, so dann 1702. auf Erffurth, und ferner 1704. auf Berlin, allwo er 2. Jahr informirte. 1706. bekam er Condition ber Hern Obrist=Wachtmeister von Glasungen, zu Hartmansdorff, ohnweit Franckfurth an der Oder. Allhier blieb er biß 1712. da er in patriam revertirte, und ber Herrn Obrist=Wachtmeister von Bölderndorff auf Zickelsdorff in Condition tratt, biß er den 19. Januar. 1722. von einem Hoch=Edlen Rath zum Præceptore der siebenden Claß in hiesiger Schule vociret wurde.

The English translation:

Stephan Thomas Thomæ, the son of Rev. Stephan Thomæ, Adjunctus of Sonnefeld, und Madame Cordula, born Buchenröder, was born on 27 May 1679. He benefited from the education at his father's house for a very long time until he could go 1696 to the Coburg Gymnasium. At this place, he matriculated, because he had gone off to the service [Convictorio, as the personal chaplain] of the Carpzov brothers [literally, "Brotherhood”] for a few years, 1699 de laude Carpzoviana [Latin, “In Praise of Everything Carpzov”]. In the year 1700 he went to the University of Jena, then 1702 to Erfurt, and further to Berlin, where he learned for 2 years altogether. In 1706, he went into the service [Convictorio, as military chaplain] of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Glasungen in Hartmansdorf, not far from Frankfurt on the Oder. Here he would remain until 1712, when he returned to his native land and stayed in the service of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Bölderndorff in Zickelsdorf, until he was called on 19 January 1722 by the Council of Great Nobles as the Præceptor [Supervisor] of the Seventh Class in this school [The Collegiate School of Coburg].

Notes:

But I did find a couple of things.  One of them is the 1684 christening record of Johann Wolfgang Buchenröder, the stillborn son of Johann Buchenröder.  It is not completely transcribed but it is enough to show that he had been born in Sonnefeld, probably at the home of Stephan Thomæ, whose wife was one of the four godparents.  Christian Michael Buchenröder was the pastor of nearby Hellingen at that time but, as one of the other godparents, his wife was not listed as Barbara.  She was Margaretha.  But John Nicholas Kalb’s wife, Christina Rose Stegner, had Magaretha Barbara as her middle names so maybe Margaretha Bauer Buchenröder was really Margaretha Barbara Bauer Buchenröder.

In the church records for the death of Johann Ludwig Thomæ it lists his survivors. It lists his two sons Lorenz and Lorenz; five daughters Anna Margaretha, Barbara, Margaretha Barbara, and Dorothea. It the church records it lists a Lorenz Thomæ Sr. and a Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. While I have always thought this to be a father son relationship, it is not. Instead it refers to the two Lorenzs in the same family.

But then I noticed that, in 1853 and 1854, the Regierungs- und Intelligenzblatt für das Herzogthum Coburg [Admininstrative and Intelligence Bulletin for the Duchy of Coburg] was running announcements about the people who were leaving Sonnefeld, Frohnlach and Ebersdorf for "Nordamerika". On Issue No. 66, Saturday, 19 August 1854, it mentioned two of your ancestors, side by side, on the same page. I've attached for you the copy of the top halves of the two pages in the original German. Here is the English translation of the following announcements:

Emigration of Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten toNorth America.

Margaretha Barbara Walter of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against her should be made known immediately.

Sonnefeld, 14 August 1854.
Ducal Office of Justice of Saxe-Coburg
R. Rose.

Emigration of the Potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten to NorthAmerica.

The potter Lorenz Thomä of Hofstädten is emigrating to North America and wishes to begin the journey on or around 27th of this month; any notices against him should be made known immediately.

In 1778 Johann Paul Thomæ was living in House 51a in Hofstädten. In 1811 after the death of Johann Paul it came into the possession of Johann Ernst Thomæ and his wife Sabine. After the death of Maria Savina nee’ Bechmann Thomæ in into the possession of Johann Ludwig Thomæ. And Barbara Thomæ was awarded the Brennhaus. In 1835 Johann Ludwig came into possession of both House 51a and 51b. In 1852 the house came into the possession of Lorenz Thomæ, Sr. and in 1844 passed into the house of Lorenz Thomæ, Jr. Finally in 1854 it came into the possession of Ludwig Thomæ, Sr. (the father of the potter). Then in 1855 in passed to Margaretha Thomæ and her brothers and sisters. So I come to the conclusion that Lorenz Thoma immigrated to America after the death of this father in 1854.
