Bill,
I have found two more children of Joan Alard Willenborg and Catharina
Margaretha Höne besides the one you asked about, Franciscus Henricus.
One is Anna Catharina Willenborg, baptized 8 Oct 1750. The record says: "8
8ber [parents] Alerd Willenborg. Catharina Margaretha Höne. Varrell.
[child] Anna Catharina. Patrini: Bernd Dirk Höne, Anna Catharina Theman." (Film
0896395 Kirchenbuch Oythe, 1653-1875 (Katholische Kirche Beatae Mariae Virginis
Oythe (AG. Vechta))
The other is Johan Alard Willenborg, b. 1 May 1766 in Varrell, baptized 2
May 1766 in the Langförden Catholic church. The record says: "Baptizati
Joannes Alardus v. Varrell Parentes Joan Alard Willenborg Catharina Margar.
Höne Patrini Joannes Alard Willenborg Anna Margar. Höne." (Film
0911504 Kirchenbuch Langförden 1652-1864 Vol. 2, p. 196 (St. Laurentius Catholic
Church))
He died 28 June 1839 at the Füchtel estate, Kreis Vechta, Oldenburg and was
buried 1 Jul 1839 from the Oythe parish church. The record says: "Johan Alard
Willenborg Heuermann in der Hofe... Füchtel Widower [age] 73 - -"
[Füchtel was an estate of nobility.] The record is from Katholische Kirche Beatae
Mariae Virginis Oythe (AG. Vechta), film 0896395.
He married Margaretha Elisabeth Külman 28 Oct 1795 The record says:
"Copulati Joan Alard Willenborg et virgo Margaretha Elisabeth Kulman. [Witnesses]
Joan Henrich Kloppenborg, Friderich Höne." Film 0896395
She was baptized 6 Oct 1771. ([Parents] "Franciscus Henricus Culman,
Catharina Elisabeth Kloppenborg, [baby] Margaretha Elisabetha [sponsors] Lucretia
Culman, Joan. Henric. Kloppenborg," (film 0896395)
They had eight children. If you want more on them, just ask.
She died 26 Nov 1836: Margaretha Elisabeth Kuhlmann legitimate wife of Alard
Willenborg, Heuermann in Füchtel. Married. [age at death] 65-1-18 (Film
0896395)
Both of these Willenborg births are listed as being in Varrell, but the
records are from two different parish churches. Your Franciscus Henricus was born
between these two dates so may have been in either of the church records. I
don't know why Varrell is included in both. The parishes are next to each
other and may have changed boundaries.
