Kaspar was born 8 January 1758 in Adliswil, Zürich, Switzerland to Solomon Schwarzenbach b Feb 1683 and Regula Hotz. It is a small community west of Lake Zürich. Adliswil is 8.5 miles east of Ottenbach. The little community was established as an independent Protestant church parish in 1898 from the church parish of Kilchberg. Civil registration began in 1876. There are good records for Kilchberg parish found on FamilySearch. The records are clear, easy to read and downloadable. Unlike Ottenbach the death, marriage and birth records are mixed together. However the format is easy to use and the script is very readable.Owned land?
Hans Caspar Schwarzenbach died from age-related weakness, aged 70y 3m 11d (which fits his baptismal date exactly). He had owned a "Hof" (literally a farm, more likely just some premises) in Wäldi (cannot identify the name of the premises), which he left to his son (I guess. Elisabeth was his second wife), after he bought something (like a care place - is not mentioned) in Allschwil, where he died
Hotz:
When Regula Hotz was born on 24 September 1713, in Kilchberg, Zürich, Switzerland, her father, Hans Heinrich Hotz, was 52 and her mother, Magdalena Usteri, was 48. She married Saloman Schwarzenbach on 15 June 1751, in Kilchberg, Zürich, Switzerland. They were the parents of at least 1 son.

Death of Solomon's sister Barbara Schwarzenbach (1685–1725) 24 JUN 1725 • Thalwil, Zürich, Schweiz
On 30 March 1752 Solomon and Regula had a daughter named Anna Barbara.
Hans Kaspar Schwarzenbach of Adliswil and Elisabetha Sidler b 1747 married 6 March 1808 when she was 61 and Kaspar was 50. Ottenbach Pastor Locher performed the marriage in the Ottenbach Kirche. How they got together is unknown but we do know most people at the time traveled by foot or horse. From Ottenbach to Adliswil is 13 miles. It is interesting to consider that a woman who bore 15 children and lost her husband when she was 54 decided to marry after being single for seven years. The happy couple ended up being married about 20 years.

A Schwarzenbach family baptized a child in Kilchberg in 1625, the next one in Höngg in 1626. The family then lived there for centuries, particularly on the Riedhof. The last mayor of Höngg before its incorporation in 1934 was Werner Schwarzenbach. Perhaps the a under Zürich in the FNB refers to this branch.

Kaspar died 19 May 1828. He lived 70 years 4
months 11 days. Upon his death Kaspar was transported the 8.5 miles from
Ottenbach to Adliswil where the Pastor recorded his death. Elisabetha was to
live her last 3 years 5 months 24 days alone in Ottenbach. Kilchverg is the
home of Lindt Chocolates today. The scenic little community is built on a hill
and from the top you get wonderful views of the Lake Zürich and the pre-alps in the
distance. (Sources: Elisabetha's death certificate and marriage certificate,

On 19 May 1828 Kaspar died. His burial record is found in the Kilchberg Parish records and includes lots of great information on the Schwarzenbach family as seen below. We still need to hook up Heinrich who was born in 1672 and Kaspar who was born in 1758. The 1728 Church Census has two entries for the family.
In 1728 Heinrich and Regula Hoz Schwarzenbacher family are listed:
Father: Heinrich 22 April 1672
Mother: Esther Rellstab (see 1728 census below) 1787 6 Oct?
Kinder:
Hans Kasper 31 June 1708
Anna Barbara 29 August 1713
Esther 19 August 1716
Hans Jakob 29 January 1719
Hans 22 October 1721
The other document is regarding:
Regula Hoz, widow, 14 August 1671

Schwarzenbach have been naturalized in 5 municipalities in the canton of Zurich since before 1800, including Adliswil, which belongs to the parish of Kilchberg (including the hamlets of Waldi and Buttenau).

örg Schwarzenbach in Mönchhof and Magdalena Brändlin have a Barbel baptized in Kilchberg on 24.04.1625. On 18.09.1625 Hans Heinrich Schwarzenbach zu Rüti(?) [Rüstl. = Rüschlikon] and Verena Bertschingerin have a Verena baptized. It is Jörg Schwarzenbach and Magdalena Brändlin who then have a Jörg baptized in Höngg on 14.12.1626.
It is quite plausible that this could be the origin of the (later) Zurich family (after the incorporation of Höngg) - at least Carl Keller-Escher does not mention Schwarzenbach in his collection of Zurich families.
