Johann Wenski was the son of Christoph Wenski and Anna Welke.1,2
In 1783, Christoph felt his strength ebbing, and was unable to continue the management of his entire estate. For this reason, he transferred to his son, Johann, one half of the estate, along with four oxen, two horses, forty sheep, a wooden wagon with accessories, a plow with accessories, two scythes, an ax, hatchet, pitchforks, shears, wooden chain, etc. Johann was to inherit the other half of the estate after his father's death. Johann had to pledge to pay a total of 500 Taler to the younger children, which meant that Helena, Anna Dorothea, Marianna, Martin and Gottfried each received 100 Taler. Further Johann was to pay a total of 300 Taler to all the children of both marriages, to be divided equally. Martin and Gottfried were to receive oxen, horses, sheep and farm tools. These payments were not to occur until each heir was married and well established.3,4
