Hi, that's great, thank you. Do you know what the word Schieder means in English in this context? Dictionaries give the word 'divorced' but I don't think that is what it means here - Wendel's previous 2 wives died, he was not divorced. Also do you know what the abbreviation Sus: means? Is it short for Susannah? Thanks for your help, Karen (nee Matthes).
Thank you, that's similar to a 'magistrate' I think in English. Regards, Karen.
Just learned that he was called "Feldschieder" in other records. That is similar, but different 
The DRW (Deutsches Rechtswörterbuch) states:
Sworn person, member of a panel of experts that checks boundary lines, decides on boundary disputes and sets boundary stones; sometimes also responsible for fire protection, building matters, etc.
So no general disputes, just about boundary lines.

OK, Thanks. That sounds better given he and his father and grandfather seemed to have served on the local council where they may well have had this role.
