Johann Georg Bauer, a musketeer from Dudenrod, obtained special permission to marry Anna Louisa Sittner, daughter of Thomas Sittner from Pferdsbach "in der Stille" [quietly]. They were married in the parish church in Wolf on 18 June 1759. Their “quiet” [not public] marriage was due to the birth of an illegitimate son.
