Theories

One hypothesis is whether he was related to, descended from, or even was the same person as this entry?

• Michel Köl born 1678, but died unknown, (Source Geneanet)
• https://gw.geneanet.org/elinil?lang=sv&pz=elisabeth&nz=nilly&ocz=0&...

Another possible related individual? His son died same year as Micheal, 1754.

• Jean Köll (source geneanet)

Birth year?

His grandson Jean-Michel Koehl was born 1733. Hence, most probably, his son Michel Koehl should have been born at least 20 years prior to that, meaning before 1713. Which means that most probably, Michel Koehl -this profile - should have been born at least prior to 1693, probably earlier?
