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.

Notes:

Married:

     At the time of their marriage, Johann was 24 years, 4 months and 11 days old; Catharina was 31 years 9 months and 3 days old.
     At the time of the births of each of their children, the father and mother were the following ages, respectively: Hermann Heinrich, 25 years, 4 days and 29 days & 32 years, 9 months and 21 days; Johann Henrich, 27 years and 8 months & 35 years and 22 days; Cord, 30 years, 10 months and 15 days & 38 years, 3 months and 7 days; Anna Elisabeth, 34 years, 2 months and 7 days & 41 years, 7 months and 9 days; Anna Elsabein, 38 years, 4 months and 13 days & 45 years, 9 months and 5 days.
     Lieselotte (Freese) Fiegenbaum, of Ladbergen, surmises that Catherina Elisabeth Grotholtmann was a sister to Anna Elsabein Grotholtmann (1746-1818), who married Hermann Wilhelm Fiegenbaum (1745-1813) on 5 August 1770.
