- From Wilbur Hanson Kalb:
Yesterday I found this little item about Michael Buchenröder in a 1913 issue of the Familiengeschichtliche Blätter [ Genealogical Bulletins ] at Google Books but it was too small to read in the snippet view with an iPad so I had to use my Mac for an enlargement. The result is barely readable but I transcribed and translated it. It’s about the Rev. Buchenröder’s second wedding. He must have been in a very good mood. After 28 years as a widower, he must have been wondering if, with all his children married and moved out, an old goat like him could ever find his own companion. Here’s the item from page 155 of Volume 11 :
The German transcription :
Buchenröder.
Der Pfarrer Michael Buchenröder aus Hellingen ( Amt Heldburg ) ladet mit Schreiben vom 23. Jan. 1680 Schultheiß, Zwölfer und Gemeinde in Hellingen zu seiner am 27. Januar 1680 „mit Herrn Johann Spülers, letztmahls bey Hertzog Friedrichs Hoch=Fürstl: Durchl: zu Gotha Leib=Compagnie gewesenen Wachtmeisters, und der Zeit wohl=benehmten Gast=Wirths zum güldenen Stern in Heldburg, mittlern lieben Tochter, Jungfer Margarethen Dorotheen” stattfindenden Hochzeit ( zweite Ehe ) ein ( Gemeindearchiv Hellingen ).
The English translation :
