  	BonnieMargaret Jacobs writes that they had eight children in total, the last one was stillborn and not idenfied by name or sex in the parish records (p. 53). In the chapter titled "The Migration to Pl?derhausen," in her 1981 unpublished manuscript, she stated that the familienregister information on Johann Jacob I was received from the pastor of Pl?derhausen. On page 63 of this manuscript she also cites DEKANAT SCHORNDORF, BAND I, BLATT 24 as the source from which she obtained the details of the makeup of this family.

  	BonnieMargaret Jacobs, on page 63 of her 1981 manuscript, cites DEKANAT SCHORNDORF, BAND I, BLATT 24a for the parish records of the Christianus Binkelmann and Barbara Erlenmayer family. BonnieMargaret Jacobs notes that the kirchlichen Familienregister Band 1 details the tragic deaths of Christian and Barbara "Christianus Binkelmann died as a result of several hits with a huge axe, delivered by his wife. The record notes that Barbara, murderer of her husband, was beheaded in Schorndorf some four months later. Other notes in the parish records reveal that this rash deed happened at midday, while Christianus slept in bed in drunkenness. Since the civil records of Pl?derhausen have not been filed and indexed, we have no idea what drove Barbara to that madness. Of course, we all know that Christianus had no business being abed, drunk, at midday. Certainly not in Germany at that time. We can only develop our own fantasies of their homelife that led to such a brutal end---for both of them." From the Burgermeisteramnt Schorndorf, BonnieMargaret noted, we receive the following official account of the excecution at the castle in Schorndorf: 'On 21 April, 1803, was Katharina Binkelman of Pl?derhausen, born Erlenmaier, approximately 46 years old, who killed her husband Christian Binkelmann, a weaver of that place, with a huge axe--with a large sword beheaded, her head placed on a sharp post, her headless body delivered to the clinic at Tubigen.' Without more information is is impossible to know if justice was done--in either case." (p. 60) At the time of their parents deaths, their four surviving children ranged in age from 7 to 15. The eldest son was listed as "vermisst" (vanished, disappeared) on parish records. The second and third son both died before the were age 30. Only daughter Catharina married and remained in the area. Since the population was ever growing and the Burghers anxious to limit the growth within trades, the sons of both Christianus and his elder brother Johann Jacob were apparently excluded from training. The community demanded a stable, conformist population where there would be no problems maintaining the status quo. Ever diligent to identify and eradicated tendencies to the contrary, they had ample reason to deny Burgher status to the upcoming generation of Binkelmann men in Pl?derhausen . (p. 62).
