Who is Jobst Heinrich (1765-1822) 's Father
Who is Jobst Heinrich’s Father
Is Johan Heinrich Krückeberg, who was born on Janyary, 19, 1744, the father of the Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg who was born on March 24, 1765. The birth record of Jobst Heinrich states his father is Johan Heinrich. The birth record does not mention the locality where he was born. Berenbusch is not mentioned (except as the locality of the baptismal sponsor Weiland).
Background
We know that someone named Johann Heinrich Krückeberg was a Brinksitzer of no. 10 Berenbusch by 1743-1744. That someone with this same name died there in 1822 at age 78 and 3 months or 3 weeks. That someone named Johann Heinrich Krückeberg, who married in 1802, and lived at no. 10 Berenbusch, is also described as a Leibzüchter. I know that an individual named Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg was born in 1765 to a Johann Heinrich Krückeberg. The village is not given in the birth record nor its number. I do know that when Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg married in 1790, his residence is given as "no. 10 Berenbusch". This is the residence given in the baptism records of all four of his children as where they were born. His first child was born 1 Feb. 1792, and his last child was born 17 Aug. 1806, who was his only son. Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg (1765-1822) had one son and three daughters. We know that on 29 May 1798 he petitioned the Rentkammer to enlarge his "Hofraum und Garten", because in the Rentkammer case file he is referred to as "Colon of no. 10 Berenbusch" by his full name of Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg. I am looking for specific documents to prove since he was the Colon of no 10 Berenbusch in 1798 that Johann Heinrich was his father, who we know by 1802 is a Leibzüchter at this address.
New Issue
We also have a Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg, who along with his wife, was born in Evesen. See nla:146:doc2.adoc.
Goal
We want documentary proof that:
Johann Heinrich Krückeberg (Leibzüchter by 1802, d. 1822) was the previous holder of Stätte Nr. 10 Berenbusch, and thus the father and predecessor of Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg (Colon Nr. 10 by 1798).
The specific documents that can prove this
1. Ausweisung / Übergabeakte for Stätte Nr. 10 Berenbusch
This is the best and most direct proof.
What it would show (explicitly or implicitly):
-
Johann Heinrich Krückeberg as outgoing holder
-
Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg as incoming Colon
-
Retention of Leibzucht by Johann Heinrich
If this exists, it settles the question outright.
2. Rentkammer files on Jobst Heinrich’s 1798 petition
You already have one such file.
What to look for inside the same case or related correspondence:
-
Any reference to “sein Vater”
-
Any note that the Stätte was recently übernommen
-
Any mention of Altenteil / Leibzucht obligations
These files often presuppose the prior Übergabe without reprinting it.
3. Lasten- / Abgabenverzeichnisse tied to Nr. 10
Look for entries like:
-
payments from Nr. 10 to Johann Heinrich Krückeberg
-
wording such as Altenteiler, Leibzüchter, alter Colon
This proves:
-
Johann Heinrich is no longer Colon
-
his support is a charge on the same Stätte
4. Church records alone are insufficient
But their combined pattern is evidentiary:
-
Johann Heinrich = Brinksitzer Nr. 10 by 1743/44
-
Jobst Heinrich = resident Nr. 10 by marriage (1790)
-
Jobst Heinrich = Colon Nr. 10 by 1798
-
Johann Heinrich = Leibzüchter at Nr. 10 by 1802
This is exactly the canonical father → son succession pattern. What’s missing is one Rentkammer document to formalize it.
Bottom line (very short)
To prove Johann Heinrich was the holder before Jobst Heinrich, you need one of the following tied to Nr. 10 Berenbusch:
-
Ausweisung / Übergabe (best)
-
Rentkammer ruling referencing the father
-
Abgaben/Lasten entry showing Leibzucht payments
Everything else you already have is consistent but circumstantial.
If you want, next step I can tell you which NLA Bückeburg series and shelfmarks are most likely to contain the Ausweisung for Nr. 10 — in two or three lines only.
