coat of arms of Oberlinxweiler

Johann was the son of Johann Schnur and Magdalena. The coat of arms of Oberlinxweiler is shown here.

Johann worked as a shepherd.

He married M. Katharina Bläs before 1741. She was from Niederlinxweiler.

In 1741, Johann and M. Katharina had a child:

  1. Johann Peter (b. 27 Feb 1741)
    He married Gertrudis Rech (b. 1741)

Their son was born in Niederlinxweiler, so Johann and M. Katharina lived there after their marriage.

M. Katharina died, and Johann remarried to Katharina Funck on 6 February 1748, probably in Bliesen.

Between 1751 and 1753, Johann and Katharina had two children, including A. Elisabetha Schnur.

Both of Johann and Katharina's children were born in Bliesen, so the family lived there during this period.

Johann died at age 68.
