 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Maria Barbara Holpp was born about January 8, 1757 in Bissingen an der Tech, Wurttenberg Germany. Her parents were Adreas Holpp and Margaretha Euchner.

On October 20, 1778 Maria Barbara married Johann Georg Kaufmann. The LDS library has a microfilm of the church in Bissingen. One wonderful form has the family record. It includes the birth and death date of the bride and groom, their parents, and all their children with birth , confirmation and death. The only problem is reading the old German scrip. We can scan the piece so you can attempt to see it also. Just click under Contact Us with the request.

The children found on the family form are:
1. Johannes Kaufmann born October 24,1779, confirmed 1792. Perhaps died in 1859
2. Tinsecad Kaufmann (closest I can come) born Jan 28 1781, confirmed 1795, perhaps died in 1853
3. Christina Catharine Kaufmann born February 25, 1783, confirmed 1797.
4. Johann Georg Kaufmann born January 23, 1785, confirmed 1799. Died maybe April 5, 1812.
5. Diana Margaretha Kaufmann born December 23, 1786. She was not confirmed. Death date looks like 1808.
6. Leonard Kaufmann born September 2, 1788, confirmed 1802. Died July 17, 1867.
7. Maria Barbara Kaufmann born Dec 3, 1790, confirmed 1804. Died Dec 29, 1862. She married Johann Friedrich Maier

This family seems to have lost no infants, and most children lived to an old age. This was not always common.

Maria Barbara Holpp Kaufmann lived 12 years after her husband died in 1824. She died April 8, 1836.
