Johann Leonhard Eckstein and Anna Schienen

Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Johann Leonhard Eckstein and Anna Schienen," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."

Johann Leonhard Eckstein married Anna Schienen 24 November 1682 in Bremm, Cochem-Zell, Rheinland-Palatinate, Germany. Anna was christened 7 March 1661 in Bremm, Cochem-Zell, Rheinland-Palatinate, Germany, the daughter of Johannes Schienen and Margaretha Gietzen.

Leonhard died 8 August 1702.

Leonhard and Anna’s children are:

1	Peter Eckstein, probably christened 30 Aug 1683 in Bremm, Cochem-Zell, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (indexed Familysearch records show a Petrus Leonardi, son of Joannis Leonardi and Annae Schienen, christened on that date and in that place--this could have been a transcription error where the father's second given name was mistakenly used as the surname), married Anna Elisabetha Wottsack 7 Jun 1706 in Niederberg, Rheinland Palatinate, Germany. Wife: Anna Elisabetha Wottsack., b. 1683 in Bruch, Bernkastel-Wittlich, Rheinland-Palatinate, Germany to Johann Watsack and Anna Maria Kesseler. Children: probably Johann Michael Eckstein (m. 1) Anna Christina Quint and 2) Anna Rapp), Joannes Petrus Eckstein, and Anna Maria Eckstein (m. Joannis Quint).
2	Franz Jakob Eckstein, born 31 Aug 1687 in Bremm, Cochem-Zell, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, married Anna Maria —, listed as a vagabond. Wife: Anna Maria —. Child: Eva Catharina Eckstein (m. Anton Brühl).
3	Johann Stephan Eckstein, born 26 Dec 1695.
4	Eva Catharina Eckstein, born 7 Sep 1698, married Friedrich Brucher. While the extracted church book record shown below does not specify that the daughter of Johann Leonhard and Anna was the one who married Friderici (Friedrich) Brucher and not one of the Eva Catharina Ecksteins who married into the Brühl family, this can be extrapolated from information in Tobias A. Kemper's Vagabunden, which shows that the Eva Catharina Ecksteins who married Brühls were younger members of the Eckstein family (see below), and from Familysearch records (shown below), which show an Eva Catharina Eckstein and Friedrich Brucher having children in the area in the right time period. Husband: Friedrich Brucher. Children: Paulus Brucher, Joannes Brucher, Petrus Josephus Breuecher, and Anna Catharina Bruecker.
