No 2.   1871.  Summary of the journey of this Certificate of Title 157/49

Friedrich Wilhelm WITTWER of Hahndorf, Miller owned this land before August 1871 but this is not documented on this Title.  Johann Friedrich Wilhelm WITTWER Snr [aged 38 years on the 'Zebra' died in 1864, so he is not the owner indicated in this Title.  This WITTWER Snr & his wife had 3 children & the eldest was Johann Friedrich Wilhelm August WITTWER [9 years of age on the [Zebra] who in 1871 was 42 years of age married with 7 of their 8 children having been born.  He was married to Johanne Luise PAECH  [8 years of age on the 'Zebra'.]  and is the younger sister of Christian PAECH who this land was sold to in 1877.  However this PAECH/WITTWER marriage also produced a son named Frederick William WITTWER who was 19 years of age in 1871 & who could be discounted because of his age as having been the owner referred to in this title.    This means that the PAECH/WITTWER couple were almost certainly the 'Friedrich Wilhelm WITTWER' owner of this land in & before 1871.  WITTWER sells to Christian PAECH in 1877 & after his death it went to his youngest son, Johann August PAECH.
