FIFTH GENERATION

18. Jean Daniel Eberhard SALE was born on 2 Jul 1791 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. ⁽⁴⁰⁾ He was baptized on 5 Jul 1791 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany.⁽⁶¹⁾ His godparents were his maternal grandfather, Sigismond Daniel Eberhard Hornig, and maternal grandmother, Cathalene Hornig (nee Vielzeuf). He was a gold- and silversmith after 1813 in Erlangen, Bayern, Germany.^{(40) (62)} He established his business in 1813 and was officially named a "silversmith" in 1822.

Extensive documentation from the King's Police Commisariat details the steps taken in order to be granted permission to be a goldsmith.The first task was to be released from military duty. The following request was recorded on November 9, 1812:

" The goldsmith Daniel Sale from Erlangen submits the humble request to be released from military service -

'At the conscription of this year I was selected by lot for military service. I received, however on basis of the substantiated circumstances, the permission to find a replacement for me. This I have done and herewith satisfied my military service duty. I have now the opportunity to get married favorably and to establish myself here in Erlangen as a goldsmith.

Nothing is in the way of granting this permission except the issuance of the document releasing me of military duty. Since the King's Police Commisariat does not issue this permission without this obligation being satisfied, I am compelled to submit this humble request to grant me as soon as possible the necessary exemption from military service after fulfillment thereof. My establishment and my marriage, whereby I can secure my happiness for my future life, depends on the granting of this humble request. I live, therefore, in the certain hope that I will not meet with a refusal and that a King's General Commisariat will issue as soon as possible the release from military duty on basis of its well-known love for equity and justice.

Respectfully I sign myself
(humble) Subject, Daniel Sale' "

His release from the military obligation came in this statement made on November 18, 1812:

" In the Police Commisariat Erlangen observation is made that after the conscript Daniel Sale produced a substitute according to Article 79 of the conscript law and according to Paragraph 20 and following of the decrees, the military service duty which was still pending, has been fully satisfied. The lack of a release certificate is no longer an issue. As soon as it is printed, it will be handed over to him."

On November 20, 1812 he gave the following deposition:

" The local citizen and goldsmith's son, Daniel Sahle appears and testifies before us -

'My father, who is still living and residing here, is the citizen and goldsmith Louis Sahle, from whom I learned the trade. Although I am only 21 years old, it is nevertheless evident from the statement of the King's Commisariat of the 18th of this month, that, according to Article 79 of the Conscription Law, I have produced a replacement and am completely free from military duty.

I have, with the consent of my parents, made the decision to establish myself as a citizen and goldsmith locally. To that end I humbly ask for permission from the King's Police Commisariat. What my parents can give me in property I can't say at this time. However, they will support me to the extent that I can establish myself, and besides I can count on an advantageous marriage.

My fiance is the oldest daughter of the local and deceased citizen and rope-maker Haag. Her name is Sybilla Hagin, whose mother is also no longer living. What my fiance inherited in fortune from her deceased parents I cannot indicate niether incidentally nor exactly, nevertheless she is well-to-do and will prove this credibly and shortly. Daniel Sale' "

At the same time the local goldsmiths Friedrich Froberg and Johann Gottfried Zunker gave their approval to Daniel's petition. Daniel's father, Louis Paul Sale, gave the following statement on November 24, 1812:

" The summoned goldsnith Sale makes the following declaration in regards to his son, Daniel Sale, who on the 20th of this month made a deposition for this establishment as a citizen and goldsmith and subsequent marriage with the oldest daughter of the deceased citizen and master rope-maker Haag, known as Sybilla Hagin -

'I have not the least objection to this petition. I must rather add to it my fatherly blessing and the request to expedite this as soon as possible. Assets I am not giving my son at this time... I have beside the petitioner another son and 2 daughters, thus 4 children altogether and what I leave behind in wealth is simply for my children to enjoy.
Paul Sale' "

A note to the side of this statement indicates that since no assets were coming from Daniel's father, his fiance, Sybilla Haag, would have to appear to make a statement about her wealth and intentions to marry. The statement dated November 27, 1812 reads as follows:

"In response to the invitation that was extended to her, the oldest daughter of the deceased citizen and master of rope-making, Johann Christoph Haag, otherwise known as Sybilla Hagin, appeared with the assistance of her guardian, the local citizen and master baker, Johann Reichard Barthelmeca. Hagin makes the following declaration -

'On January 3, 1813 I will be 25 years old. I am the oldest of my brothers and sisters. Both of my parents are dead. With the consent of my guardian, who is present with me here, the citizen and master baker Barthelmeca, I have become engaged to be married to the citizen and goldsmith's son, Daniel Sale, who has decided to establish himself now.

The parental assets which should become my share may amount in dowry to about 1000 thaler. I cannot indicate that exactly, because the court has not decided how to settle the estate. I would ask the King's Police Commisariat to give favorable consideration soon to the pending petition of my fiance for his establishment, since I have so much at stake in this matter to see it concluded. Signed,
Anna Sybilla Haag
Joh. Reichard Barthelmeca' "

Finally, on December 18, 1812 the statement appears "that Daniel Sale, son of goldsmith Ludwig Sale, with permission by the police has established himself here as goldsmith."




He died on 6 Dec 1872 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. ⁽⁶³⁾ He was buried on 9 Dec 1872 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. ⁽⁴⁰⁾ He was a presbyter until 1872 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany.⁽⁴⁰⁾ He was also a town councillor ("Magistratsrat"). He was French Reformed (Huguenot). He resided Hauptstraße Nr. 17 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. ⁽⁶⁴⁾ The original number on the house was 169. He was also known as Daniel. He was married to Anne Sybille HAAG on 4 Mar 1813 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. ⁽⁶⁵⁾ Anna Sybilla brought to the marriage her inheritance of approximately 1000 thaler. This dowry was essential for Daniel to establish his business in late 1812 since he was given no assets by his parents.

19. Anne Sybille HAAG was born on 3 Jan 1788 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany.⁽⁴⁰⁾ The year 1787 is based on age at time of death - 32 years, 2 months, 10 days. However, in a statement provided for the King's Police on Nov. 27, 1812, Anna states that she will be 25 years old on January 3, 1813. This would mean a birth year of 1788. She was the eldest of her siblings. Church records confirm her birth year as 1788. She was baptized on 6 Jan 1788 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany.⁽⁶⁶⁾ Her godmother was her grandmother, Anna Sybille Vierzigmann. She died on 13 Mar 1819 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany.^{(67) (68)} She was buried on 16 Mar 1819 in Erlangen-Neustadt, Bayern, Germany. In order to recieve permission to establish himself in Erlangen as a goldsmith, Jean Daniel Eberhard Sale had to have Anna Sybilla, his fiance, make a formal statement to the King's Police. The statement dated November 27, 1812 reads as follows:

"In response to the invitation that was extended to her, the oldest daughter of the deceased citizen and master of rope-making, Johann Christoph Haag, otherwise known as Sybilla Hagin, appeared with the assistance of her guardian, the local citizen and master baker, Johann Reichard Barthelmeca. Hagin makes the following declaration -

'On January 3, 1813 I will be 25 years old. I am the oldest of my brothers and sisters. Both of my parents are dead. With the consent of my guardian, who is present with me here, the citizen and master baker Barthelmeca, I have become engaged to be married to the citizen and goldsmith's son, Daniel Sale, who has decided to establish himself now.

The parental assets which should become my share may amount in dowry to about 1000 thaler. I cannot indicate that exactly, because the court has not decided how to settle the estate.
