Matthias Scholl entry

Kent Gardiner

I believe this excerpt is about my ancestor Matthias Scholl b 1716-1789. Can someone clean up this translation:

Background: Matthias Scholl Johann died 30 Sep 1789. His death record says: Johann Matthias Scholl, master tailor, age 71 years 8 months 1 day. Matthias was a citizen, tailor, and temporary "procurator."

...243 The following excerpts give an insight into the economic conditions of the time: "Graben, ten 27. Dez. 1765 ſintt verſchiedene Allmendt-ſtücker am ſpeder weg zu buten verſteigert worten, als Mattheiß Scholl;, das erſte ſtud am Höſtlich-ader Valterweg, muss ſolches buten um den zweijährigen genuß. He, Scholl;, that 2 te ſtud beside ſeinem ader biß ang bubenader Valter auff 4 Jar. That heſte ſtud next to the Bubenader Georg Flor on 5 Jar. Peter; custom that 2 te ſtuď on 5 Jar.

Good morning Kent,

What you provided is a transcription, not a translation.

Can you provide an image of the document from which you copied this?

Thank you.

Robert Seal_1 Here you go Robert, I awoke this morning thinking I should do this but realized I was over the four hour limit: I am only interested in the part regarding Matthiass Scholl, my relative. Thanks, KG

Hello Kent,

Your translated first sentence is correct:  The following excerpts give an insight into the economic conditions of the time:

Here is a transcription of the parts which relate to Matthias Scholl, which you can compare with your transcription:

Graben, ten [den] 27. Dez. 1765 sintt verschiedene Allmendt-stücker am specker weg zu butzen versteigert worten, alß

Matthieß Scholl, das erste stuck am Höftlich-acker D?alterweg, muß solches butzen um den zweijährigen genuß.

Er, Scholl, daß 2te stuck neben seinem acker biß anß bubenacker D?alter auff 4 Jar.

Comments: Because the spellings are variant/archaic, you can't take the transcription and simply plug it into Google Translate or Deepl and get a coherent translation. I also think there are some local place names here which are challenging to decipher.

Here are a few words which may help:

Allmendt-stücker = common land pieces

stuck = Stück = piece

-acker [as a suffix] = farm

The words 'butzen" and "bubenacker" are unfamiliar to me.

Here is a broad sense of what I can understand here:

The following excerpts give an insight into the economic conditions of the time:

Graben, on the 27th of December 1765, various common land pieces were auctioned of on the Specker Way at Butzen?, such as

Mattheiß Scholl, the first piece on the Höftlich-farm Dalterweg must such . . . two-year . . .

He, Scholl, the second piece next to his farm/land up to the "bubenacker Dalter auff 4 Jar."

That was a lot of work. Thanks Robert. I bought this book and also found it online at Hathitrust. It does have a few entries of interest but not a lot. It appears Matthias was involved in selling or buying some common land. In any case Matthias lives another 24 years which is plenty of time to pay off the land. Kent
