152. XXVIII. Wolff Conrad Kessler, violin-maker's apprentice, 1723.
253. XXIX. Johann Michael Seidel, 1723.
354. XXX. Johann Adam Glier, 1723.
4This family was settled in Markneukirchen as early as 1560; one Andreas Glier (who was schoolmaster in 1587) is described as a native (Stadtkind).
555. Johann Reichel, son of the Master Johann Reichel the elder, admitted in 1724, whose dues to the amount of 6 thaler and 18 groschen were immediately paid by his father.
656. XXXI. Johann Andreas Hamm, son of the Klingenthal tailor and lawyer, Andreas Hamm, who learnt the art of violin-making in 1724. As he could not provide the Mastership Banquet as a citizen, he paid for everything 35 thaler, which was the sum exacted from strangers.
7As the violin-making industry in Klingenthal complained of the heavy fees payable to the Guild, which threatened to prevent the appearance of any more postulants for the estate of master-workman, these fees were lowered to 6 thaler, which was the sum payable by the sons of native master-workmen. But as Hamm again solicited admittance in the following year, wishing to pursue his art in Markneukirchen instead of in Klingenthal, the dues were lowered to 34 thaler in consideration of the six already paid. (The meaning is here hopelessly obscure.—E. H.-A.)
857. XXXII. Johann Georg Hamig, violin-maker's apprentice, 1725, paying 16 thaler in dues.
958. Georg Simon Schönfelder, a master's son, paying six thaler in dues, 1727.
