Generation: Jakob Schaaf born ?, died ca 1637 in Salbitz, Saxony, married ? 2. Generation: Caspar Schaaf, b. Jan 28, 1618 in Salbitz, Saxony, d. Dec 29, 1682 in Salbitz, Saxony married Maria Clauss May 29, 1649. (Daughter of Martin Clauss, b. Aug 4, 1628 in Pulsitz, Saxony, d. Feb 22, 1664 in Salbitz, Saxony 3. Generation: Jakob Schaaf, b. Jun 28, 1656, Salbitz, Saxony, d. Jan 9, 1738 in Salbitz, Saxony, married MAria Mebus (Moebus) Nov 24, 1685 (Daughter of Martin Mebus and Maria Berger, b May 20, 1662 in Gleina, Saxony, d. Dec 19 1725 in Salbitz, Saxony) 4. Generation: Rosina Schaaf, b. Jul 18, 1691 in Pulsitz, Saxony, d. Mar 24, 1759 in Pulsitz, Saxony, married Paul Wetzig Nov 1, 1713 in Pulsitz, Saxony (Son of Thomas Wetzig and Christina Schuster, b. Jun 27, 1692 in Pulsitz). They owned the "Rittergut zu Oetzsch".
