1826 Hohnhorst Marriage

1831 Hohnhorst Marriage
Friedrich Christian Windheim and
Engel Maria Sophia (unehelichen gennant Lang) Wille.

Anna Sophia Wille, mother of Johann Conrad Daniel Wille, was born 06 JAN 1775 at Beckedorf #25 the daughter of Hans Heinrich Wille from Ohndorf and Anna Sophia Maria Busse from Vornhagen. In 1795 she had an illegitimate daughter with Johann Cord (Conrad) Langhorst from Auhagen #2, who was married to Anna Margarethe Broesche. This daughter was Ilsa Engel Marie Dorothe 23 DEC 1795 - 30 APR 1916 baptised at Hohnhorst.

She had 3 more known illegitimate children: (1) Johann Conrad Daniel Wille (left), (2) Engel Maria Sophia Wille born 24 JUL 1807 (father was Lang?) who married 03 NOV 1831 at Hohnhorst to Friedrich Christian Windheim from Wiedensahl, Germany and (3) Sophia Dorothea Wille born 06 FEB 1811 (this daughter used the surname Pfingsten in her Hohnhorst confirmation record). Sophia Dorothea Wille Pfingsten married 03 MAR 1838 at Hohnhorst to Johann Otto Wille born 03 SEP 1809 at Ohndorf #22, son of Johann Christian Ludwig Wille and Engel Maria Nietmann. They had a son Johann Otto Wille born 03 FEB 1839 who immigrated to America (Schaumburger Auswanderer #2032: Wille, Johann Otto, Ohndorf Nr. 19, Sohn des Johann Otto W., geb. 3.2.1839 in Ohndorf ohne Verm. nach Amerika, 1855).

Anna Sophia Wille married 23 DEC 1814 at Hohnhorst to Johann Heinrich Conrad Pfingsten (21 JAN 1777-20 SEP 1849) who was from Ohndorf #19 and #27, son of Johann Otto Pfingsten (1741-1804) and Catharina Senne (1742-1816).

Anna Sophia Wille Pfingsten died 27 APR at Ohndorf #19 and buried 30 APR 1836.

Joh. Heinrich Conrad Pfingsten is probably not the father of Johann Conrad Daniel Wille. When he married Anna Sophia Wille in 1814 he was a blind widower with money and was willing to marry a woman "of questionable character" probably just to get someone to take care of him.
