[NB: his elder (step- or foster-) brother was also called Aberle]
1605 his brother Leiwe b’ Shlomo/Zalman z Leuchte becomes his Guardian and pays for him. Later also other family members are paying House taxes for him: Nathan b’ Leiwe Gelnhausen z Leuchte as well as Nathan b’ Aron Bonn z Ampel [cf]
“Black sheep of the families Bonn and Goldschmidt” — cf
®26 and several ET souces:
1607 [UP:] He is 17 years old — [RP] He, son of Salomon, planned to convert, but was never baptised — etc.
1608 [Re:] 4 weeks in prison and 400 Reichsthaler, as punishment for adultery with christian-whores.
1609 [RP:] Being accused of lechery with a non-jewish woman, he got free after bail was paid by his influential grandfather Aron Bonn and his ‘uncle-in-law’ Nathan b’ Aron Bonn [who was married to Beslin, daughter of his elder (step-) brother Aberle]
1620 again in trouble, disobedient and imprisoned.
House “Leuchte” or “Leuchter”, later “Ampel”
children not mentioned in ET
In several quotes the brothers Leiwe and Aberlen [II] are considered to be sons of Zalman/Shlomo Gelnhausen. In many family references stepsons or fostersons are indicated as sons. ET can’t give a real explanation for the meaning of the addition ‘Kautz’ [or ‘Kots’ or ‘Kuts’] in their surnames.—
In this Genealogy I propose the hypothetical option that Zalman has been married second to the mother of the 2 younger children, a widow who had been married outside Frankfurt with their unknown father named Kautz [being no ‘segal’]; and that this mother is an elder [nowhere else mentioned] daughter of Aron Bonn. — NB: in 1608 Aron Bonn had paid bail for his “Enkel” [= Grandson] Aberlen Kautz” [see herefore] — JG]
