Descendants List: Jacob & Betti (née Köhler) Wertheimer - Juden in Themar

Family Register, Marisfeld Jewish Registers.

We can trace the roots of the Wertheimer family back to the early 1800s when Jacob Samuel Wertheimer, b. 1768 in Wüstensachsen in Hesse, and his wife, Betti Köhler, b. 1788 in Walldorf in Thüringen, settled in the village of Marisfeld and started a family. Between 1808 and 1822, Jacob and Betti had five children: Mendel, b. 1808, Louis, b. 1809, Sophia, b. 1812; Jonas, b. 1815; and Jette, b. 1822. Jacob died at 84 years in 1852 in Marisfeld, Betti died twenty years later, 83 years old; she may have died in Themar living with one of her adult children in her senior years.

Of the five children of Jacob and Betti Wertheimer, we know most about the family of two sons: Mendel, b. 1808, and Jonas, b. 1815. Mendel Wertheimer and his wife Sara, née Gutmann, married in 1849 and had eight (8) children, starting with the birth of Selig in 1850 and ending with the birth of twins, Albert and Leopold, in 1866. Only one of the children was female, Minnie, b. 1862. Jonas, b. 1815, and his wife, Mathilde née Frankenberg, b. 1818, married in 1855, and had three children, only two of whom lived to adulthood.
