Beltz^FN: This family name is not mentioned in the Kutter FSL, yet they were there.  The 1776 and 1798 Kutter censuses make clear that Roehrich had married a widow, (Christina Beltz) and that the children (Johannes and Barbara) listed in the Kutter FSL in the Roehrich household were Beltz step-children of Roehrich, the children of his wife.  Since no marriage is found for Roehrich in the Buedingen ML, the odds are good that his wife was also from (or from very near) the same place in Isenburg as Roehrich.  Dick Kraus found Beltzs and Peltzs in Duedelsheim but not this family.

Beltz^FN: also see Belz.
