Matthias Hans Born: circa 1680 (possibly) Bliesen, Duchy of Lorraine Died: after 1718 (possibly) Namborn, Duchy of Lorraine

Matthias' parentage and place of origin are unknown, although he was recorded as a resident of Bliesen. The coat of arms of the village is shown here.

Matthias married Anna Elisabetha Thiel before 1704, possibly in Bliesen.

Between 1703 and 1718, Matthias and Anna had eight children, including Margaretha Hans.

Matthias and Anna's first child was born in Bliesen. Their last child was born in Namborn, so the family may have moved there by 1718.
