Holtzklau Hans Jacob Holtzklau, born in 1683 in Trupbach, was the youngest child of Hans Heinrich Holtzklau and Gertrud (maiden name uncertain). He was baptized in Nikolaikirche on Laetare Sunday, March 28, 1683, the fourth Sunday of Lent. Like his brother Johannes and his father Hans Henrich before him, Hans Jacob was a schoolteacher. On August 8, 1708, in Siegen, he married Anna Margretha Otterbach (born 1686), daughter of Hermannus Otterbach of Trupbach and his wife Elisabeth Heimbach. In 1708, Hans Jacob became the schoolteacher at Oberfischbach following the death of his brother, Johannes, who had been the schoolteacher there. http://germannafirstcolony.org/holtzklau

Does anyone know anything (other than Holtzclaw) about Mary the daughter ofHans Heinrick Hofmann (Huffman)of Little Fork? My Nay ancestor was marriedto a woman named Mary. He evidently apprenticed with Henry Huffman atLittle Fork and the Huffman Mary seems a good candidate, although I wouldthink she would have been born early than what Holtzclaw speculates.-----Original Message-----From: germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf OfHFTHusma@aol.com Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 9:02 AMTo: MsEagle246@aol.com Cc: germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Hans Henrich Hofmann; Germanna Families (1st & 2ndColonies)In a message dated 7/18/2008 6:55:31 AM Eastern Daylight Time, mseagle246@aol.com writes:I've been reluctant to post my question for fear of not doing it quite right.?

Jacob Holtzclaw's father, Hans Henrich Holtzclaw, was admitted to the Guild of Smelterers and Hammersmiths in 1664, but became a schoolteacher later, I think around 1667. He was the schoolmaster at Trupbach from 1667-1670 and was the schoolmaster there again after 1681. His eldest son, Johannes, became the schoolmaster at Trupbach after his father in 1693. From 1671 to 1680, he was the schoolmaster at Krombach. So, Jacob's father was both a teacher and an iron worker simultaneously.Hans Henrich Holtzclaw had 15 siblings. I'll deal with the brothers that were involved with the iron industry here:1. Johann Holtzclaw b. 1640--admitted to the Guild Smelterers and Hammersmiths in 1656Johann's sons, Tillman and Johannes, were also members of the Guild of Smelterersand Hammersmiths and were in the iron industry at Muesenershuetten. BC Holtzclawstates that Johannes was connected with the iron industry all of his life.2. Johannes b. 1637--his godfather was Johannes Schutt of Muesenershuetten, part ownerof the ironworks at Muesenershuetten and the Hardt.3. Ebert Holtzclaw b. 1645--Member of the Guild of Smelterers and Hammersmith in 16584. Johann Henrich Holtzclaw b. 1651-2--Member of the Guild of Smelterers and Hammersmiths in 1671. He was a moulder and smelterer and was in the iron industryall of his life "becoming an associate justice both of the Court of Mines and, also, of theCourt of the Hain."Jacob Holtzclaw's grandfather, Johannes Holtzclaw, was a teacher and he was also part owner of the Schneppenkauten Hammer from about 1632 to 1653. He was a teacher and he was part owner of the ironworks simultaneously.Jacob's paternal line via the Holtzclaws most definitely was connected to the iron industry. Jacob's maternal line has even more extensive involvement in the iron industry as his grandmother was probably Hebel, the daughter of Henrich Flender Muess of Schneppenkauten. We can trace Hebel Muess's ancestry back to Cone Busch b. ca 1400 and the owner of the Haardt iron works in 1444. This iron works, which included a hammer and smelter, was co-owned by a Busch, possibly Cone's father, and his sister, Else Sel. There is evidence that this was in operation as early as 1375. Jacob Holtzclaw is descended from 2 of Cone Busch's sons, Hen and Gotthard Busch. Hilla Busch, the daughter of Gotthard Busch, married Gerhard Busch, the son of Hen above. Jacob Holtzclaw's mother, Gertrud Solbach, is also a descendant of Gotthard Busch. She's also a descendant of the Fick, Patt, Muess, Muenker, Shutte, Flender, and Haardt families, all of whom were intimately connected to the iron industry. BC Holtzclaw states that the Fick family "were among the most prominent pioneer iron-masters in Nassau-Siegen, being founders of at least five ironworks between 1400 and 1475, Muenkershutten and Fickenhuetten in the Wiedenau township; Dilnhuetten in the Bottenbach township; Geisweid in the Klafeld township; and Dilnhenrichuetten (later called the Sighutte) in the Siegen township."I'll list the various iron hammers and smelts in the general area of the First Colony next, but it's late!!Barb Price Change Date: 2 Jun 2008 at 01:00:00
