Research status

Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. The Gerabronn baptism register for 1743 names the mother of Maria Margaretha, daughter of Johann Adam Scheuermann, as his wife Margaretha, the clerk striking out “Maria” and writing “Eva” S815; the 1742 marriage entry, with the same correction, makes Eva Margaretha the daughter of the late Andreas Stapf S835. What is weak: Johann Adam was a widower when he married her in January 1742, and the 1766 marriage names only the bride's father S814, so an elder Maria Margaretha by his first wife cannot be ruled out, though a bride of 23 in 1766 fits the child of 1743

Evidence: The 1743 Gerabronn baptism of Maria Margaretha names her mother as Johann Adam Scheuermann's wife Eva Margaretha (the clerk corrected Maria to Eva), and the 1742 marriage register, with the same correction, makes Eva Margaretha the daughter of the late Andreas Stapf of Wollmershausen; both read from the register images. Weak or missing: Johann Adam was a widower in January 1742 and the 1766 marriage names only the bride's father, so an elder Maria Margaretha by his first wife is not ruled out; the day of the 1743 baptism is on an unread leaf.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
