Notes for Barbara KREBS
The baptism record of her daughter, Susanna TRACHSEL, states that she
and her husband are "both from here [Wattenwil]".

She could be one of the following based on her age at death on 8 Oct
1783 at 60 years [b. Oct 1722 - Oct 1723]:

Baptism records in Wattenwil:
1) Barbara KREBS, b. 16 Sep 1718, daughter of Marie KREBS
2) Barbara KREBS, b. 13 Feb 1722, daughter of Daniel KREBS and
Christiana FISCHER (m. 12 Sep 1721) [she has no siblings baptised in
Wattenwil]
3) Barbara KREBS, b. 18 Oct 1722, daughter of Bendicht KREBS and Anna
BÄLER

She is probably Barbara KREBS, daughter of Bendicht KREBS and Anna
BÄLER, based on the fact that two of her children had sponsors with
the name BÄLER, and her age at death is a perfect match to this
person:

Baptism records in Wattenwil:
1) Melker TRACHSEL, b. 7 Jan 1759, son of Hans TRACHSEL and Barbara
KREBS, spon. Christian BÄLER (possibly her brother or father)
2) Susanna TRACHSEL, b. 7 Dec 1766, son of Hans TRACHSEL and Barbara
KREBS, spon. Barbara BÄLER

The following are the surnames of the people who sponsored her
children's baptisms (occurring with more than one instance):
7 - TRACHSEL (her husband's surname)
3 - KREBS (her surname)
3 - KÜENZI (her husband's mother's maiden name)
2 - BÄLER (her mother's maiden name)
2 - MEGERT

The Barbara KREBS, b. 13 Feb 1722, daughter of Daniel KREBS and
Christina FISCHER (m. 12 Sep 1721), does not have siblings baptised
in Wattenwil.
This could mean the following.
1) Her parents moved away from Wattenwil after her birth.
2) Her parents were older when they married, and only had one child.
3) Her father died after her birth. Death records in Wattenwil begin
in 1752, so this cannot be confirmed. No re-marriage of her mother
was found in Wattenwil.
4) Her parents chose to have one child. or could only have one child.
