Schultz Franz Remus of Stegers and Stretzin - Johan's
Brother
Franz Remus of Stegers and Stretzin in Kreis Schlochau,
West Prussia is a brother of Johan Remus. Franz Remus is
first found as owning a schutzengut (estate which he
occupied as head of the village) in Stegers around 1730.
For some reason, Franz gave up that privilege and acquired
a lease on farmland in Stretzin; apparently he lived well
and could be thought of as a gentleman farmer. He had
many daughters that married well; for example, his
daughter Eva married well into the Nehring family that
took over the Lanken estate and his daughter Marie
Elisabeth married Christian Friedrich Rotzoll of gut
(manorial estate house) Rotzollen. At the close of his life,
he passed on a small farm in Stretzin to son Michael and
stayed in Rotzollen with his daughter Marie Elisabeth. He
died there is 1797. The genealogy includes that the Rotzoll
family. Click here to go to that genealogy.
