Hans Heinrich Zöller1,2,3,4,5,6
M, b. 24 August 1662, d. 19 August 1731
| Father | Nicolaus Zöller1,2 d. 17 Jun 1688 |
| Mother | Margretha (--?--)7 b. c 1616, d. 5 Dec 1696 |
Hans Heinrich Zöller, son of Nicolaus Zöller and Margretha (--?--), was born on 24 August 1662 at Schlitz, (Vogelsbergkreis), Hessen, Holy Roman Empire (Germany).1,4 He and Anna Catharina Hohmann, daughter of Andreas Hohmann, were engaged on 12 August 1690 at Schlitz.2 Heinrich married Catharina on 8 January 1691 at Schlitz.3,8,9
Heinrich needed a new horse in February 1694 and arranged a trade with a Jewish horse trader. When the Jew delivered the horse, Heinrich carefully checked it for any faults. The law prohibited a trader from selling a horse with any of the four main faults, but this horse had a case of glanders, which repulsed Heinrich. The Jew did not want to refund the payment for the horse. Instead of calling the authorities, Heinrich took the law into his own hands and assaulted the Jew. The Jew then attempted to ride off, but in his rush, fell off the horse. Hans Heinrich confiscated the horse, without paying the Jew.
The case went to court in Burghain. The Jew did not appear for the first hearing, with the excuse that his sister was on her deathbed. She then died and he needed to attend to the necessary ceremonies. When he did appear in court, he testified that the horse must have just started to have glanders that night, because the horse had been healthy when he made the deal.
The court decided that the horse would be restituted to the Jew and Heinrich would be compensated if the horse did indeed have glanders.5
Catharina died on 10 August 1728 at Schlitz at age 62, leaving Heinrich as a widower.10
Heinrich died on 19 August 1731 at Schlitz at age 68 years, 11 months and 26 days.4 On 20 September 1731, an inventory was made of Heinrich's estate by the city secretary Heinrich Oppermann, and two lay members of the court, Johannes Kircher and Hans Heinrich Heyll.6
A translation of the inventory follows:
After the Zöller heirs reported to the court and asked for the resignation of the sealed items, I, as state secretary, was charged with taking a proper inventory of the entire estate. Whereupon then in the presence these previously mentioned two lay members of the court, Johannes Kircher and Hans Heinrich Heyl, then also the son Andreas Zöller and Mr. Heinrich Obermann for the daughter Gertraut Zöller, and Conrad Gebhard as guardian of the deceased son Johann Adam Zöller's surviving little daughter Dorthealiese Zöller in the name of God, the beginning with the immovable property.
The dwelling house before the Oberthor to Johann Georg Brandstätter, there is part of the free citizen farmstead (estate) a haymaker also before the Oberthor on the creek also citizen's farmstead (estate).
