Johann Mesenbrinck

Possibly the same as Johann Mesenbrinck, the father of Cort Mesenbrinck, Sr. who moved to Osternburg, Oldenburg.

1689 Poll Tax Register

Mentioned as "knect" (servant) in Ludeke Helversen and Catrine Mesenbring (Catharina Helversen )'s household in the 1689 Poll Tax register (vol 4, page 107). Since he was listed as a servant and Catrine's brother and sister were listed as such (bruder and schwester), it seems that Johann was not Catrine's brother. It's likely that he was her cousin or other relative. There was a Ludeke Mesenbring listed in Osterwald in 1585, so it's likely that they all descended from him.
