JOHANNES & ANNA KAUTTER
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Johannes Kautter was born about 1695 probably in Bissingen, Wurttemberg, Germany.
Johannes wed his wife, Anna Bratows (the name is very difficult to make out) on Feb. 10, 1722 in Bissingen.
A Maier Genealogy was written in the 1930's while a family member was living in Germany. All of this information came from that document.. The Maier family dates back to 1555. Almost all the people listed were born, married and died in Bissingen. However, I also have a copy of the church records of Bissingen The handwriting is in old German and the spelling varies but the detail matches what had been discovered in the 1930s.
The church records found at the LDS library listed as Johannas Kautter and Anna as the parents of Maria Ursula Kautter who was born April 7, 1723.
In the area around Stuttgart, there are 3 towns that could fit the name "Bissingen". They are Bissingen, Bisingen, and Bissingen an der Teck. After a careful study of the 1930's document we believe it is the Bissingen an der Teck. Close by there is a Dettingen unter Teck. It is the home of other relatives. These villages are south east of Stuttgart.
