Philipp Beüermann was born 13 August and baptized 15 August 1730 in Büdesheim and confirmed there in 1743. He was the son of Johann Andreas Beüermann and Anna Catharina Köppel. Anna Elisabeth Brunckhardt was born 26 September and baptized 28 September 1727, the daughter of Caspar Brunckhardt and Anna Gertrud Köhler.
