Eighth Generation

152. Johann BECKRÖGE⁶⁰ was born in 1647 in Daverden, Hannover, GER. Based on the age given at his death, he was born in 1647. But, based on the age he gave himself for the 1710 muster roll, he was born in 1654. "Little white lies" about age to avoid or minimize military service were very common. He died on 1 March 1731 at the age of 84 in Walle bei Verden, Hannover, GER.⁶⁰ He was buried from the Verden Dom on 05 March. He has reference number BR-001.

Reference numbers for his descendants refer to "Beckröge Family Tree" prepared by Werner Beckröge in 2002 and updated in 2004. Unsourced vital information (births, marriages, and deaths) of all his descendants are likewise based on that "Beckröge Family Tree." Additional information was provided by "Gerken Ancestors" prepared by Wilhelm Kranz in 2006 and the "Lilje Family Tree" prepared by Rev. Dr. Dieter Lilje in 2007. Unnumbered persons whose descendants are shown were taken from these latter sources.

He was a "Halbmeier" -- the owner of a medium-sized farm -- who inherited Walle house #6 and associated property from his father-in-law about 1682. Wöbke OOSTMANN and Johann BECKRÖGE were married before 1682.
