Sebastian came from Roth, where the family had been settled since around 1610, after the death of his father Hans Jakob (t1670) he took over the Etzenerlen farm, which the family had recently owned by his uncle Peter Stirnimann (m. Maria Süess), who died in 1668 without descendants, to inherit. Peter Stirnimann moved to Etzenerlen in 1624. It is therefore 355 years since the farms in Etzenerlen were built by members of our family. Sebastian was married twice, since 1655 with Maria Helfenstein of Neuenkirch, since 1673 with Rosina Wüest of Ruswil. |
