Hi Robert,
by chance today I saw your questions.
1.) "Ackermann" means FARMER (profession).
2.) Yes, Martha Elisabeth was the wife of (Johann) Heinrich. Axt is an old name in Heringen. My ancestor Jost Axt married there 1656 Christina Eisel.
3.) Yes, Anna Martha was the wife of Justus. My ancestor Eva Elisabeth Axt (1672-1752) married 1693 Hans Jacob Ries (Rieß).
4.) The Kataster now are deposited in the state archives in Marburg (email:
poststelle@stama.hessen.de).
5.) Volume 5, Number 72 shows, which property George Lauterbach possessed in 1770 and who were the owners of his property until about 1850. Same with Martin's property under Vol. 6, Number 78.
In Marburg there are also deposited the church records of Heringen 1637 - 1785. There you can find who is mentioned as Justus Lauterbachs father, when he was born 1753!
Regards, Wolfgang
