Eva H?fner

Notes:

BonnieMargaret Jacob's refers to her as "the daughter of the farmer of Aichenbach." (p. 53). The parish records transcribed on page 91 show her parents as Joh. Jacob H?fner, Bauer in Aichenbach, and Magdalena B?hler.

She stated that Eva H?fner remarried in 1789, a year after Jacob's death, and it appears she may have married a relative, and in 1795 she was divorced, apparently by a husband who preferred a woman who would be (and was) willing to bear his children. On page 93 of her manuscript, it is shown that Eva's second marriage was to Jacob B?hler, employed as a vintner.

In a footnote, BonnieMargaret said that German law on hereditable properties provides a possible explanation for Eva remarriage and subsequent divorce. Citizens did not own their land, but it was the lease of that land that was heriditable. In some areas of Germany, a widow had to be remarried within a year of her husband's death to retain the tenenancy on the land. Her remarriage falls within that time frame, and her divorce was at the time her son Johann Jacob achieved master and citizen status. Thus it is probable that the marriage, apparently to a relative, was a marriage of convenience to retain the land tenancy for her children at their ages of majority. (p. 54).

Eva married Johann Jakob Binkelmann, II on 2 Feb 1773 in Pl?derhausen, Jagstkreis, W?rttemberg, Germany. Johann (son of Johann Jakob Binkelmann, I and Rosina Hofer) was born on 19 Sep 1752 in Pl?derhausen, Jagstkreis, W?rttemberg, Germany; died on 6 Jun 1788 in Pl?derhausen, Jagstkreis, W?rttemberg, Germany.
