Hans Kaspar Schwarzenbach 1758 - 1828

Kaspar was born 8 January 1758 in Adliswil, Zürich, Switzerland to Solomon Schwarzenbach b Feb 1683 and Regula Hoz. 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.

Solomon Schwarzenbach's sister:
Birth of sister Barbara Schwarzenbach (1685–1725)
SEP 1685 • Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz
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.

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.

Research

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
