and it took many years before the new ones could be heard on 25th Now. 1652 at the funeral of Hannss Jacob Heberlin (111,3), who had died only 29 years old after being married for six years. The miseries of the war time are probably one reason why so many people died so young then. The poor needed private help urgently and in the death book of 1677 the father-in-law of Hannss Balthas Heberlin (IV,5) is mentioned who spent his last years in the house of his son-in-law, helping the poor.

Not long after the Thirty Years' War the area suffered under the wars of Louis XIV. Again Weinsberg suffered under concentration of troops and quartering of soldiers. Sometimes the relationship between house owner and soldier was quite friendly though. on New Year's Eve 1689 Hanns Ulrich's daughter Anna Maria was baptized and the godfather was Abraham Steinbach, a sergeant who was quartered in their house. On June, 17th, 1736 the above mentioned Bernhard Ferdinand was baptized and his godfather was the armychaplain Ferdinand Wilhelm Wolfarth, who four years later also became godfather of the second child, on which occasion he was represented by his sister Christine Wolfarthin. His first grandchild, Bernhard Ferdinand, was, as mentioned before, soldier under Friedrich the Great, before he settled at home and became a baker. His son is our ancestor Johann Georg.
