Immanuel, Carl and Friedrich Schochenmaier

Let's continue getting to know the family of Immanuel Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1759-1834).

We've already met three oldest children: 


Christian Joseph (1787-1808) and 

Juliana Christiana (1788-1813), who hadn't got married and both died of typhus. The girl had worked as chambermaid. 

Friederika Wilhelmina Barbara Schochenmaier (1790-1834) which died only 5 days (4 Oct 1834) after her father Immanuel Gottlieb had passed away (29 Sep 1834). In that way, we found out that our ancestors died because of dysentery and, for instance, in Ludwigsburg among 9.606 inhabitants 1.674 git sick and 118 died. 


Today, I am going to present to you three boys, about whom there is not much info(((

The fourth child was a boy. His name is Immanuel Cornelius Simon Schochenmaier (1791-1792)


He was born on October 31, 1791 and died on April 7, 1792. It means he has lived only for 5 months and 1 week. It is sad to notice that the infant mortality was pretty high at that time. 


As usually, you can spot his name, then father's name, mother's name and on the right side the names of his godfathers, amon which the name of his grand father Johann Christian Schochenmaier (1724-1799), the Master of the Manufactory within the Ludwigsburg Workhouse. 

The death year is to be found only in the Family Table. 

The eighth boy (I skip the fifth boy, who will be the hero of the separate post!, and couple of girls, who I will dedicate the next post to) is Carl Heinrich Cornelius Schochenmaier (1798 -????)

It's very strange but everything I stumbled upon is the birth registration. 



That's all. On the Family Table, you can see that he was confirmed at the age of 14 in 1812:

  
and then there is a note about him but it's an aweful handwriting and I cannot decipher it. 

So, we don't know how he ended up. I have no idea if he was too young to take part in the Napoleonic Wars, but we are aware that from the Russian campaign 1812-1815 only a few hundred returned safely from the original contingent of 15,800 Württemberg soldiers. Maybe among those 15.000 soldiers there was our Cornelius? Who knows...

The ninth child and the last baby boy was Friedrich Gottlob Felix Schochenmaier (1800-1801)

He was born on May 23, 1800 and died on January 21, 1801. He has lived for eight months. 



 So far today, three boys, two of which died in their early childhood and one of which remained unknown to us. 

Next time, I will post about three girls, who married and got children.
