1923 Elsi KNÖPFLI
About 1597. Elsi was born, probably in Canton Zürich, Switzerland, possibly in the
community of Andelfingen (based on her age in the ecclesiastical censuses of 1640 and
1643).
The KNÖPFLI were a prominent family in Andelfingen. In 1434, Johannes KNÖPFLI became
the first Untervogt [deputy administrator] after Zürich took control of the Herrschaft
Andelfingen [Lordship of Andelfingen]. At the time, the Obervogt [Zürich’s assigned
administrator] resided in Zürich, so Johannes was the local representative of Zürich’s
authority. 89 In the Zürich muster list of circa 1443, “Der Knöppfly” (first name not recorded)
was the leader of the men from the community of Andelfingen with hand cannons. 90 This
