Schmuli had a son Abraham (B1.2.1.2.2<\/span><\/a>), whose wife Model and daughter Judit were fined for conducting a verbal fight [R867]<\/span><\/a>. Abraham\u2019s son Isac (B1.2.1.2.2.1<\/span><\/a>) was married to a \u2018Sprinz\u2019 [R2354]<\/span><\/a>. By 1730 Meir’s grandson Daniel (B1.2.1.1.3.1.1<\/span><\/a>) was living in Wangen on Lake Constance [R2253]<\/span><\/a>. Daniel\u2019s brother Isac moved to Worblingen in 1743 [R3446]<\/span><\/a>. Abraham\u2019s grandson Hewen (B1.2.1.2.2.1.2<\/span><\/a>) went to live in Lengnau [R3459]<\/span><\/a>. Eventually, the name Bickert changed to Picard.<\/span><\/p>\n Cost lived to a ripe old age. He was married [R3799]<\/span><\/a> but apparently had no children; no heirs were ever mentioned. Leman had three sons: J\u00e4ggelin (R1.1<\/span><\/a>), who was married to Schachmannn\u2019s (G2<\/span><\/a>) widow, Isac (R1.2<\/span><\/a>), and Abraham (R1.3<\/span><\/a>). Abraham\u2019s daughter was married in Haigerloch [R4469]<\/span><\/a>, possibly to one Mayr Schnerff [R3712]<\/span><\/a>. Isac moved to Lengnau and sold his house in St\u00fchlingen [R4161]<\/span><\/a>; Abraham had no sons. But J\u00e4ggelin had two sons: L\u00e4mble (R1.1.1<\/span><\/a>) and Salomon (R1.1.2<\/span><\/a>) married to Brunel [R867]<\/span><\/a>, daughter of Leib Gugenheimb (G1.4.1<\/span><\/a>) [R2175]<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a09<\/a><\/span>In the register of Jews for both Lengnau and Endingen this family name appeared consistently as \u201cWeil\u201d in 1761 and \u201cWyler\u201d in 1774.<\/p>\n 10<\/a><\/span>Samuel Pletscher Collection, “Schuldurkunde””, St\u00fchlingen 1610.<\/p>\nWeil<\/h3>\n

<\/a>By far the largest clan in St\u00fchlingen eventually answered to the family name Weil (Weyl, Weihl, Weyhl, Wiell, Wieller, Wyler).9<\/a><\/span><\/span> The first explicit mention of this name appeared in 1649 [R1771]<\/span><\/a>, but members of this family have been recorded as far back as 1610,10<\/a><\/span><\/span> when Leman (R1<\/span><\/a>) together with Phal (B1.2<\/span><\/a>), Marum (Z16<\/span><\/a>), Phrom (B1.3<\/span><\/a>), and Meyerle (C2.1<\/span><\/a>) cosigned a document acknowledging a debt of 1000 guilders to Count Maximilian von Pappenheim. We found at least five distinct branches of the Weil clan. Within the scope of this investigation, these branches cannot be traced back to a single joint forebear, although naming patterns suggest that a common ancestor with the name Leman (Juda) or Marumb (Meir) lived in the vicinity many decades earlier, and many of his descendants eventually found their way to St\u00fchlingen, Tiengen, Lengnau, Endingen, and Gailingen. According to tradition,11<\/a><\/span><\/span> the name Weil is derived from \u201cWeil der Stadt,\u201d a little town situated between Pforzheim and Stuttgart. Leman had a brother [R2696]<\/span><\/a> Cost (R2<\/span><\/a>). A\u00a0Marum (Z16<\/span><\/a>), a cosignatory of the early letter of debt to the count, died in 1612 [R1457]<\/span><\/a>. Generic heirs were mentioned later but not specified. It is possible that this Marum was the father of Leman and Cost, but we have no explicit evidence to support such a claim.<\/span><\/p>\n
