The successor of the Immanuel Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1759-1834) was his son Carl August Schochenmaier (1793-1847).
According to the documents, he was a master bricklayer (in German: Maurermeister)!!! Very interesting and sharp turn after two generations of cloth-makers)
Who knows what he could build up at that time. Just have a look of the buidings which have been constructed in the first half of the 19th century in Heilbronn where he had worked:
What do we know about him?
He was born on the 27th of March 1793 in Ludwigsburg:
In 1807, with 14, he got confirmated.
The next milestone is his marriage in May 13, 1821. Interestingly, it seems to be that Carl August moved to Heilbronn from Ludwigsburg. It's 37 km (23 miles) away from his father. I could not find out if he first got a job there or got married.
Let me introduce his wife Luise Friderike Hofmann (1798-1847).
As you can read off, she is daugther of Johann Jacob Hofmann and Maria Christina Kaufmann. I didn't find them but I suggest they correspond to Jacob Friedrich Hofmann and Christina Kaufmann who got married in Heilbronn on the 1st of June 1797.
Carl August and Luisa Friederike got at least 8 children:
Heinrike Luise Wilhelmine Schochenmaier (1822–????) - no info
Auguste Luise Schochenmaier (1823–????)
Wilhelm Adolph Schochenmaier (1824–1824)
Maria Karoline Schochenmaier (1826–????)
Gustav Georg Schochenmaier (1828–1828)
Caroline Pauline Schochenmaier (1829–????)
Clara Bertha Schochenmaier (1831–1832)
Carl Gustav Schochenmaier (1834–1851)
At least three of them died very early: Wilhelm Adolph, Gustav Georg and Clara Bertha.
I haven't found any info about the very first girl Heinrike Luise, so maybe she died, too.
Maria Karolina got married and was very rich in children and their descendants. I will write a post about them.
And now, the most intriguing aspect: other three children moved away and I am exciting to find out where to!
