Charlotta Louisa Schochenmaier (1794-1874)

After we met three boys within the family of Immanuel Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1759-1834), let's get aquainted with three girls. Our first lady is:

Charlotta Louise Schochenmaier

• was born on October, 25 1794 in Ludwigsburg;
• got confirmated in 1809 

After this info from the family table of her father, it's difficult to find copies of official documents. However, we can stumble upon some interesting facts while finding the births of her children in Dotternhausen. That is why, we may suggest that she got married to Franz Xaver Klaiber (1792 - ????) and moved in.

It's pretty easy to find out that the family of the Klaibers was historically present in Dotternhausen since the 17 century. Dotternhausen is a small town in the south-east of the Kingdom of Württemberg. Let's have a look where is it and how it looks like: 

 

In 1823, there were 692 inhabitants. Now what about children? I've found only two of them - Jacob Xaver Klaiber (born in 1827) and Theresia Klaiber (born in 1831), see below: 

That's all, nothing else. Then, I told to myself: let's try from another end. If I can't find anything about the wife, maybe there is something about her husband. And on the Geneanet, you can find almost all Klaibers from Dotternhausen, but and that's a BUT like that. Are you ready? The wife of Franz Xaver is noticed as Charlotta Luisa, not Schochenmaier (!!!), but HAHN. Do you understand?

I started to compare these two ladies... It's very possible that she had another wife with the same first given names, everything is possible.... But, those two wives shared almost every details, if they had been similar or identic to each other...

Here is the list of similiraties:

- both of them were from Ludwigsburg!
- both of them were born on the 25th of October
- both of them got boys named Jacob in 1827 and girls names Theresia in 1831...
- both of them got married to Franz Xaver Klaiber

Well, I may conclude that those two wives were the same person. I didn't find any explanations but it's possible that our Charlotta Luisa got married before to any Hahn... it's strange though... no document in the archives about it.

But let's admit that they are the same person, then we may add new info about Charlotta Luisa, although on different websites there are different details:

• Franz Xaver and Charlotta Luisa got married in Ludwigsburg on the 12 Jan 1822; 
• Franz Xaver was son of Johann Martin Klaiber (1757-1825) and Lugard Dachtler (1762-1841)
• Besides the above-mentioned babies, she got more children:

• Henrietta Louisa Mathilda Klaiber (1822-1845);
• Josepha Sophia Theresa Klaiber (1825-1826);
• Jacob Xaver Klaiber (1827-1828);
• Z. Ferdinand Klaiber (1828-1828);
• Theresia Klaiber (1831-1851).   
• She died on the 16th Feb 1874. So, she was about 80 years old, very respectable age at that time... 

After I examnied the family table one more time, I think, I found some new details. Next to Charlotta Luisa you may spot the name of Franz or Xaver Klaiber:

If I decipher properly, then he was on a military service at the 5th Infantery Regiment (see the picture!). And what is amazing, that Regiment had a garnison in Lidwigsburg from 1818!!! So, it's probable that they could get married in 1822 in Ludwigsburg. Below you may spot the first girl: Henrietta Louisa Mathilda Klaiber (born Dec 9 1822).

Well, so far for today... I have no idea how I can find out what was the reason of the family name change, but everything is possible)))
