1801 Sophie Marie Krückeberg Death

It is very probable that Jobst is incorrect, a scribal error, or the use of Tochter (daughter) meant "family daughter” in the social sense. Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg did live at no. 10 Berenbusch, but he was born in 1765, and thus only age 36 when Sophie Marie died in her 60^th year. No. 10 Berenbusch was also the home of Johann Heinrich Krückeberg, Jobst Heinrich’s father.

The burial entry names Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg as the household reference person (nachgelassen), indicating that Sophie Marie belonged to his household at the time of her death. She was not a biological daughter of Jobst Heinrich, who was 25 years her junior. Tochter then can be best understood in a social/household sense. Her biological father was almost certainly Johann Heinrich Krückeberg (†1759).
