Baptismal sponsors are Thomas Nichtern, non-citizen resident, and Christoph Wenz, citizen and farmer, with their wives.

Hello @Kent Gardiner,
Thomas Nichtern is a non-citizen resident, not a non-resident.
See the following article re: "Bürger" from the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BCrger
Translate the article to English and then read the section entitled "Middle Ages and early modern times". This will give you some good background information.
It appears when Thomas Nichtern moved to Graben he either (1) did not apply to become a citizen of Graben, or (2) he applied to become a citizen of Graben but his application was denied by the powers-that-be.

Robert Seal_1 Ulrich Neitzel Thanks for a great translation. I know we have talked about this before but I still wonder about something. Whenever I see Thomas Nichtern mentioned in a record it has: non-resident. How does one become a resident, Bürger or citizen of a community? Is it a matter of money? Was a person able to go from non citizen to citizen by applying to the town council? Did the guild play a role in citizenship? Once you were a non-citizen did that stick with you forever?
In this case Johann Thomas Nichter was born September 23 1712 in Breitenborn, Hanau county, Hessen-Nassau state. His father Nicolaus Nichtern, was a former citizen at Breitenborn in Hanau. However when Thomas came to Graben he was definitely a non-resident. Thoughts? Kent

Robert Seal_1 Excellent article. How I understand. Thomas didn't own property and also he didn't have the obiligations a Bürger had. Thanks Robert!!!
