Notes for Moshe b’ Merdche Aach segal z Pflug z Kanne
Rabbi — “…ha-chaver Rabbi Moshe b’ Merdche halevi….” — “…the Tora-scholar Moshe…”
1602 He is for the first time mentioned as being married [cf ET: Jb — without citing the name of his wife], while later in the ‘Liste’ of 1619 Bessle is mentioned by name as wife of Moshe.
House: “goldene Pflug” later [after 1618] “weisse Kanne”
3 children:
# Nachum b’ Moshe Aach z Pflug z goldenen Apfel (d. 20.12.1686) >>
# Itsek b’ Moshe Aach z Horn (d. 7.11.1657) >>
# Blume b’ Moshe Aach (d. 28.1.1675) >>
[NB: in ET and Epidat is stated that Moshe’s father is Merdche Aach the son of Merdche Aschaffenburg. This Merdche ‘junior’ was born in 1589 [cf], while Moshe was already married in or before 1602; thus while his ‘father’ was not more than 13 year old. Both dates are solid and inevitable facts and make this father-son relation far from possible.
Another argument is that the “generation-gaps”of Moshe’s descendants show the inevitability that his children (Nachum, Itsek and Blum) all have been born around 1600. The conlusion is that Moshe must have been born about 1580 and can’t be a son of Merdche junior, but may well be a son of Merdche ‘senior’ [b’ Itsek] and so a brother of Merdche ‘junior’. — I am proposing this lineage and implementing it in this genealogy — [JG]
Herewith some other facts and questions should be considered:
(1) ET quotes and explains the Burial-book entry (sk.184-17), literally: “Moshe Auch begraben zwischen d. Grabsteinen ss. [des Vaters] Bruders [fehlt offbr: Abkommen des] Merdche Aschaffenburg….” , in Epidat (ffb-0410) taken over as: “….zwischen dem Grabstein seines Vaters und seines Grossvaters bestattet…” This interpretation might as well be different and might mean: “buried between de tombstones of his brother [Merdche] and father Merdche Aschaffenburg” [JG]
(2) Moshe’s family name ‘Aach’ originates from the mother-in-law of Merdche ‘junior’, which is not an unusual issue, partcularly where young children have become orphans and were moved into other households, losing during time the (sur)name of their original father.
(3) Simular arguments are applicable for Moshe’s sister Gittchen b’ Merdche Aach — see her Record.]
