Fiegenbaum, Johann Heinrich Adolph

Johann married Nüssemeier, Anna Catharine Elisabeth 5 Jun 1793, Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg. Anna was born 24 Aug 1772, Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg; died 25 Jan 1850, Ladbergen, Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Occupation: Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg; farmer

Notes:

Occupation:
Johann and his family lived at Hölter 11. Hölter is one of the three 'Bauernshaften' in the village of Ladbergen. A 'Bauerschaft' is an ancient grouping of farms that emerged from the earliest agricultural settlements, and comprised the earliest administrative units of a community. Until the early 1960s, Ladbergen had three Bauernshaften: Hölter, Overbeck and Wester. These settlement areas are still recognized in present day Ladbergen. Recently, the residential sections of the village center have become known by street names and a fourth section of Ladbergen, called 'Dorf' [village] has been created. The number 11 would indicate that this was the 11th farm established in this Bauerschaft. In 1980, Hölter 11 was renamed Ostbeverner Damm 40 and is the home of Lieselotte (Freese) Fiegenbaum.

Johann married Grotholtmann, Catharina Elisabeth 14 Aug 1763, Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg. Catharina (daughter of Grotholtmann, Johann Heinrich and Norendorff, Anna Margaretha) was born 11 Nov 1731, Ladbergen, Grafschaft Tecklenburg; died 19 Apr 1816, Ladbergen, Kingdom of Prussia.
