another family tree from Eckweiler

... rescued from my ancient website which is now offline. Looking at this again after around 15 years, I've discovered a few things to add, including new ancestors 768, 769, 2900 and 2901 and some details found online. (I needed this genealogy to be online because there is another entry coming up where I will have to refer back to it.)

Ancestors of Johann Nikolaus Fuchs, born 1820 at Eckweiler

compiled by Jörg Groß and Michael Groß based on the book:
Einwohner Eckweiler Daubach 1519-1900.
Heimatkundliche Schriftenreihe der Verbandsgemeinde Kirn-Land, Bd. 28

NB these people are not linked to my ancestors yet, but as they inhabited an area that was crawling with my folks (specifically the Kauer and the Imig clans), and both sets of ancestors were of similar social standing and even held the same job at different times. For instance, the Faber men below were vicars of Eckweiler like my ancestor Johannes Weiß and his son in law Philipp Jakob Bauer in the Weiß Chronicles, which were actually written in Eckweiler. Hence I reckon there must be a link somewhere, it's just a question of finding it. Further details regarding some of these people (e.g. professional careers, descendants) are available upon request.

Notes

725, 1450 The name Teutchag only occurs in the residents book of Eckweiler referring to the daughter of the vicar of Wallhausen, whose name was in fact Tautphoeus, so I assume that this is just a misreading of a very unusual name, which the ancestors derived from the village of Dautphe near Biedenkopf, Hessen.

2900/01 the Tautphoeus / Jacobi and Walther ancestries lead away from the area of interest (specifically to Biedenkopf in Hessen) but is apparently well-researched and both lineages have lots of clergymen. See this biography of a son of 2900/01. Some of their descendants have Wikipedia entries and apparently became catholics at some point.
