The second son of Peter Stirnimann and Adelheid Bircher, also named Peter (1600-1668), was probably never the owner of the farm in the Rot, but nevertheless he is important for farm history. Because of his death (1668) his younger brother Hans Jakob, now farmer in the Rot, also inherited the neighboring farm Etzenerlen. Peter had probably become married to Maria Süess in the year 1624 on the farm Etzenerlen. Their marriage remained childless.23
The farm Etzenerlen, according to the Chancellor Mr. Beromünster, had a size of approx. 170 Jucharten.24 Peter Stirnimann is proven living on Etzenerlen since 1640. He was sworn judge and chairmen of the Twing or village court. He and his wife were characterized by large social conviction and charity. He gave the parish Ruswil for welfare service 1000 guldens.25 They were Godparents for one hundred children, related, homeless, etc. He further donated 1000 guldens for an eternal time to the parish church Ruswil.26
Peter married Maria Süess on 18 Feb 1624 in Etzenerlen, Switzerland.
