Person:Carl Ayd (6)

Research Notes

• Parents established on baptism¹ and marriage record (see family page)
• Carl Ludwig Ayd married Barbara Ochs and his brother Leonard Ayd married Maria Thecla Ochs, her sister.
• Birth records for his children establish that Karl was the owner/innkeeper of "The Crown" in Bilfingen and was even Mayor of Bilfingen in 1815.
• A death record for him has been located in Germany, so it would appear that he did not emigrate to the United States.

   For the birth record of his son Johann Jacob Ayd on 20 March 1815, Carl was described as "the local mayor and inn-keeper of the Crown (Kronenwirt)." He was not listed as Mayor on birth records in January 1812 or February 1817, so his term ran sometime between mid-1812 and early 1817.
