Johann Nikolaus Creutz Born: 01 October 1765 Bliesen, Duchy of Lorraine Died: after 1813 (probably) Bliesen, Principality of Lichtenberg

Johann was the youngest of three surviving children of Petrus Creutz and Maria Barbara Thiel.

He worked as a farmer.

Johann first married Maria Haben on 13 May 1788 in Bliesen. The picture shows the coat of arms of the village.

Between 1789 and 1794, Johann and Maria had three children, including Johannes Kreutz.

After Maria's death, Johann remarried to Catharina Frantz (3 Sep 1777 - 4 Mar 1813). She was the daughter of Johannes Frantz and Maria Gillen. They married on 20 January 1795 in Bliesen.

Between 1796 and 1813, Johann and Catharina had ten children:

1. Anna Maria (22 Jul 1796 - 17 Jan 1878)
   She married Nicolaus Biegel (1792-1848)

   She died at the age of fifteen.

   She died at the age of three.
