Generation 2 & 3: Johann Georg & Hans Conrad Ergezinger

And so the story continues.... Johann Georg Ergezinger born August 8, 1579 in Renningen, Germany. On February 12, 1599, he married Catharine Juliane Imlin born on January 4, 1583 (my birthday! Well if you add about 400 years.) When comparing various sources we find that they had 6 children:

1. Johannes (b. 8/27/1600)
2. Margaretha (b. 7/20/1604)
3. Hans Conrad (b. 3/3/1607) 
4. Marie (b. 9/10/1608)
5. Erhard (b. 8/27/1612)
6. Catharina (Christened 9/2/1617; d. 2/7/1618)

From the book - "The Württemberg family foundations" printed in 1855

This book does only list 3 children which makes me believe that maybe they only recorded children that lived to adulthood, or maybe they listed the generations that only directly related to the Wurrtemberg family. 

But anyways back to the story the most important of these kids is Hans Conrad Ergezinger, because without him my story can't continue.

Hans Conrad born March 3, 1607 grew up in Renningen Germany. He met his wife Anna Maria Rentechler and they married in 1636. The book lists they had 3 little ones, but we will focus on Hans Ergezinger born February 22, 1633. (Surely they called him Jr. or Hans the 2nd or maybe they just called Hans Conrad "Big Pappa".... ok so probably not but I'm just saying it's a possibility). Hans Conrad, the father, died in Renningen July 22, 1670.
