In Secular Records

Johann Heinrich Krückeberg does not appear in the 1737 Registration of House and Property Holders in the District of Bückeburg as Part of a General Land Survey (1737) as the holder/owner (Besitzer) of no. 10 Berenbusch. He may have not met the criteria for inclusion.

His first reply gives Friedrich Kuhlman as the prior holder of no. 10 Berenbusch, and before him the holder was Johann Tönnis Eggerding.

TODO: Are there any other key bits of information from his replies that are inportant?

The 1745 Survey of the Villages of Evesen, Berenbusch, and Nordholz (1745) also shows he is the Besitzer (holder) of no. 10 Berenbusch. Belows is the content of page 110 where Johann Heinrich appears:

p 110 Berenbusch:
No. 10 am Hause
Johann Henrich Krickeberg zu Behrenbusch
besitzet
An Hoff und Gartenland
Der Hoff darauf stehet ein Wohnhaus
Derselben hält                     -               6 [Ruten]
Ein Garten bey dem Hause  hat      ¾ [Morgen]     23 [Ruten]
Summa Summarum                     ¾ [Morgen]     29 [Ruten] [nach neuer Messung]

which translates as

No. 10 at the house
Johann Henrich Krickeberg in Behrenbusch
owns
A lot and garden land
The lot has a residential building on it
It covers 6 rods
A garden next to the house  has    ¾ [acre]    23 [rods]
Total                              ¾ [acre]    29 [rods] [according to new measurement]
