Abraham Reimer (d. before 1840)

Life and evidence

Ladekopp Familienbuch (KB LA 0.3)

• p. 150 (Schönhorst): Sara Harder’s children “of the first marriage with Abraham Reimer”, including Sara, who married Jacob Töws on 28.01.1840.
• p. 229 (marriage supplement): “28.01.1840 Sara Reimer, Claass Reimer seine n/g Tochter, von Sandhof, Johann Neufeld seine Stieftochter, mit Jacob Töws, Peter Töws sein n/g Sohn, von Altmünsterberg.”

“n/g” (nachgelassene) means he was dead by 1840. The family lived at Sandhof (by Marienburg). The two pages disagree on his first name; the family entry is the fuller record, so Abraham is used here.

Children in this vault

Marriage, 12 Apr 1796 — added 2026-10-31 by Claude

Heubuden church book, 1796, “Marienburg & Sandhoff”: “Apr. 12 Clas Reimer & Sara Harder”. This settles his first name as Claas (as in the 1840 marriage note, p. 229), and places the couple at Sandhof by Marienburg, his residence in 1840. The Familienbuch’s “Abraham” (p. 150) is an error, perhaps borrowed from their son Abraham. The note keeps its old file name so links still work. His own parents: not yet found; the Heubuden book has no Claas Reimer birth that can be matched to him without more data.
