Notes:

Joachim Mörlin suffered in the last years of his life on the stone. His attending physician did not want to cut "the even too fat God of the Prussians". A second finally understood the operation, which was without result (2 Jan. 1571). Mörlin's strong nature succumbed only to months of illness and healing. On May 29, 1571 died "the Flacian idol". The dying man is said to have desired his friend Heßhusius as his successor. From his will (Acta Borussica Tom., I, 597) it can be seen that eight of ten of his twelve children survived eight: Joachim, Christian, Jerome, Daniel, Anna, Jeremiah, Maria, Maximilian. The "poor" Anna was probably sickly and bedridden. Hieronymus Mörlin was appointed by the father one of the executors. He was a pastor, gave out his father's Psalter sermon, and afterwards had a conflict with Heßhusius.

Anna (the third one) was disabled and required care. She was taken care of in Joachim's will.

Two other children were born dead and two of the Annas died young.
