Johann Gottlieb BETHSOLD
HUSBAND:
[F88]. Johann Gottlieb BETHSOLD.
Born on 4 JUN 1798 (S3 says he was born 23 AUG 1780) at Lengenfeld, Kreis Zwickau, Saxony, Germany; son of Johann Gottlieb BETHSOLD [F176] and Johanna Christiana BLOSIN [F177].
[Family tradition says that his name was originally PETZOLD, and that he was in the military and hit an officer. To escape the severe punishment for such an offense he ran away to northern Germany and changed his name to BETHSOLD. I will continue to use the BETHSOLD name, however, until I find some confirmation of the name PETZOLD in the records. His first known child born in Boock was in 1825, so records of him in Lengenfeld would have to be between 1780 and 1825].
He married Christine VOGEL [F89], probably at Boock, Kreis Randow, Pommern, Prussia. He died at Boock, Kreis Randow, Pommern, Prussia.
