Anna Margaretha Hoss was born in 1644 based on Anna Margaretha's death in 1n 1693 when she was 59. If her parents were 20 when she was born their birthdays would be 1624. If they gave birth to her when they were older they could have been born as early as 1600. With that range in mind I searched Ancestry and FS for a Hoss or Hössin born in the early 1600s. The records for Graben only go back to 1644 but we might be able to find the death record of a Hoss and extrapolate their birth. One person found on Ancestry is a Michael Hoss who died 27 January 1663. His supposed birth is found below. Unfortunately the translated record shows this is not a Michael Hoss. Margretha's surname could be: "Hosin": Hos or Hoss or Hosin or Hossin. Her
death record states: Anna Margaretha, 16 February 1693, haus frau,
former citizen, died and was buried the next day, Margaretha wife of
Hans Andreas Scholl citizen (Bürger) from Graben. She was 49 years old.
Anna Margaretha married Hans Andres Endris Scholl about 1665. No marriage record has been found. They had eleven children in the Graben church records.

During their lives:
The In the War of the Grand Alliance (1688-1697), the French destroyed Graben, so that only the church, city hall and some buildings remained. The inhabitants of the village were forced into the forests and in the surrounding area. Peace, order and prosperity did not return until the middle of the 18th century. (Wikipedia)
30 Years War
After the Swedes suffered a great defeat at Nördlingen in 1635,
the emperor sought to seize the moment. The Protestant Margrave with his land between the Catholic margrave Wilhelm from Baden-Baden and Elector Maximilian of Bavaria. The new lords tried to force through the re-Catholization of the country by force. In the Graben Castle there were Jesuits.
It is a matter of judging the quality of the church's work, and it is virtually impossible to achieve evangelical worship. In the end, despite all protests and requests, the Castle was even banned and May 27, 1643 was set as the day of emigration for the Protestant clergy. Already in August, however, this was taken back again a little, because those were in urgent need of military intervention. Real peace, however, did not come until 1648, when the many warring parties in Münster had agreed to put an end to the long murder. There, among other things, they agreed to exercise free rule according to the status of 1618. (Note: In other words after the 30 Years War they went back to the Catholic and Protestant status at the beginning of the war) (Graben by Konrad Dussel)
Graben Cattle after the 30 Years War
All over the place, the stocktaking of losses was the order of the day. Schultheiss Munk drew up the following summary in 1653: Buildings have been burned and torn = 135, Vicarage and barn burned down. Change at the burgers, horses and livestock:
1622 1653
Bürgers (citizens) 145 42
Horses 345 stock 62 stock
Cattle 400 stock 71 stock.
(Graben by Konrad Dussel)
Graben Castle 1600s
Graben Castle seems to have come through the war reasonably well, because there is always the military demand as a quarters and finally the Jesuits when they served on the base. Afterwards, however, it was probably neglected. In 1666, however, it was restored to a habitable condition and fortified to such an extent that it was also habitable with...it offered protection. It could not really prove its worth with any of them; at the next it has already been destroyed.
In 1661 Louis XIV took over the government in France. The foreign policy goal of the later "Sun King" was hegemony over Europe and the consolidation of the state in the northeast and east. The Rhine was to form the natural border of France. (Graben by Konrad Dussel)

This map was made by the French in 1659, sixteen years before the Graben Castle was destroyed. It seems that the Castle must have been quite big compared with others in Weingarten or Philippsburg. Other villages around Graben don't have such a symbol. so we know that Graben was a rather important place...the river Pfinz was the border between Graben and Neudorf.
The first map of Graben, where the castle (on the right) is to be seen of the year 1689. As the castle was destroyed in 1675 by the French it was only a ruin in those days and was used as a quarry! So we know that the house of the minister of Liedolsheim (some miles west of Graben) was built with stones of Graben Castle. The sort of stone was red sandstone. The remaining stones of the Castle can be seen today.
