Notes - From the “Von der Adjunctur Sonnenfeld” chapter in the “Light in the Evening” book, pages 718-719
Stephanus Thomæ, mein seeliger Vater, erblickte dieses Tages-Licht zu Hildburghausen auf Bartholomæi 1629. Die Eltern waren Herr Christoph Thomæ, anfangs Cantor, hernach Subdiaconus und endlich Archidiaconus daselbst, so 1634 im Herrn seelig entschlaffen, und Frau Catharina, eine gebohrne Hartmdnnin. Er frequentirte unter den damahligen Kriegs=Troublen anfangs die Schule daselbst, und gieng zugleich seinem Stieff=Vater Johann Möringen, sowohl in seinem Kirchner=Amt, als Becker Handwerck an die Hand, biß er sich 1646. auf das Hochfürstl. Gymnafium nach Coburg wenden, und daselbst mit dem Convictorio und famulatur kümmerlich hinbringen konnte. Endlich begab er sich nach Leipzig, difputirte 1652. unter Hn. M. Rothen de Sorite, und promovirte den 21. April 1655. in Baccalaureum. Als er nach seiner Anheimkunfft sich eine geraume Zeit in dem vornehmen Carpzovischen Hauß aufgehalten, und die altesten Söhne informiret hatte, bekam er 1663. eine Vocation zur Pfarr Wiesenfeld, 1668. zur Pfarr Neuhauß, und endlich 1678. Zur Adjunctur Sonnenfeld, allhier starb er den 22. Julii 1706 im 77. Jahr seines Alters, recht Lebensfatt, an einem Schlagfluß, und wurde in die Closter=Kirche versendet. Ein mehrers von demselben findet der geneigte Leser in dem von mir nach seinem Tod ihm verfertigten Ehren=Gedächtniß. Von ihm find zum Druck kommen:
The English translation:
Stephen Thomæ, my blessed father, [first] saw the daylight in Hildburghausen on St Bartholomew's Day [24 August] 1629. The parents were Mr. Christopher Thomæ, in the beginning Cantor of this place, and at the end Subdeacon and afterwards Archdeacon [also] of this place, who in 1634 fell into blessed sleep in the LORD, and wife Catharina, born Hartmannin. He frequented under the late military troubles the school of this place in the beginning, and went at the same time to his stepfather Johann Möringen in his office as a Kirchner [church's administrative assistant], as well as to the baker’s shop, working by the hand, until he in 1646 went to Coburg for the Great Princely Gymnasium, and passed the time at that place at the dorms [Convictorio] and in the classrooms [famulatur] in misery. Finally he went to Leipzig, apprenticed 1652 under Mr. M. Rothen de Sorite, and received his baccalaurate on 21 April 1655. As he informed the oldest sons, he was after his homecoming employed for a long time by the distinguished House of Carpzov and [then] received the call 1663 as the pastor of Wiesenfeld, (15 Jul) 1668 as the pastor of Neuhauß, and finally 1678 as the adjutant of Sonnefeld, where he died on 22 July 1706 in the 77th Year of his age, still full of life, of a palsy, and was buried at the Klosterkirche. Also at the same place, the gentle reader will find that, after his death, I made the memorial in his honor. Of him it is here in print: [Actually, Christian listed three people who were buried with his father.]

Beyträge zur Erläterung der Hochfürstlichen Sachsen-Hildburghausen Kirchen=Schul=Landes=Historie, Vierter Theil, von der Stadt und Dioeces Königsberg, Sonnenfeld, Behringen und Schalckau, [Contributions to the Explanation of the Church, School and Country History of Great Princely Saxe-Hildburghausen, Part 4, of the Cities and Dioceses of Königsberg, Sonnefeld, Behringen and Schalckau], by Johann Werner Krauß (Hildburghausen, Saxe-Hildburghausen: Johann Gottfried Hanisch, 1754), pages 359-360, in the "Sonnenfeld" chapter:
Stephen Thomä, was the 14th Evangelical pastor of Sonnefeld, and he also succeeded the late Johann Lorenz Hoffman (who had died in 1677 at the ripe old age of 46) as the Adjunctus of the same town.
[page 359] 14. Stephan Thomæ, of Hildburghausen, born 1629, studied in Coburg and Leipzig, was pastor first of Weisenfeld 1663, then of [page 360] Neuhaus 1668, finally Adjunctus of this place [Sonnefeld] 1678, died blessed 1706, was buried on 22 July in the Klosterkirche. His memorial tablet had this inscription:
“Here rests, weakened by old age and exhausted by [so] much work, the bones of a faithful Servant of GOD, namely Mr Stephen Thomæ from Hildburghausen well-trained theologian and well-deserved Adjunctus of this place [Sonnefeld]. This man of GOD’s fruits, loyal officer, and pastor's pastor, GOD rewarded [his] virtues with three crowns, two he wore in this mortality, with the third he shines now in eternity, after he had lived [for] 77 [years], led in Weisenfeld 5 [years], Neuhaus 10 [years], Sonnefeld 28 [years], altogether 43 [years], and been in the marriage for 41 years. Died blessed 1707.”
Of his family and writings more information is given by his minister son, Rev. Thomæ and see Licht p. 719.
Individuals: Grover, Carolyn, Month and day of Birth.
The Thoma family lived from 1687 to 1765 in house number 47 in Hofstädten. It was in 1687 in the possession of Stephan Thomæ. In 1706 half of the house was owned by Johann Sebastian Thomæ and half by his daughter. In 1740 it was half owned by Johann Sebastian Thomæ and half by Christian Valentin Thomæ. In 1741 if was fully owned by Christian Valentine Thomæ. In 1765 it passed into the possession of Waldaster Deysing.
