According to the Oberacker Local Family Book, in 1697 there was 49 inhabitants of Oberacker, 12 married couples, 24 children and 1 single person. That group consisted of: Mayor Keller, the juryman Melchior Schaufele, widower Bartholomaus Paquet, Hans Jakob Velte and his women, citizen Paul Dellinger, Jakob Mayer, Johann Adam Schaufele, Johann Jakob Weber, Hans Dellinger, Martin Balduf, Wilhelm Balduf, Jerg Silcher and his dumb sister-in-law, David Knab with his wife and 5 children, the married persons Michael Knab, Jakob Becker, a widow with 1 child, Thomas Knoll, a widow with 2 daughters, Thomas Weber, a widow with 1 little daughter and 2 orphans of her daughter, Lorenz Balduf and Theodore Moschis' daughter.
Is "citizen" Paul Dellinger the same person as Hans Paul Dellinger? Likely. In this case "citizen" is a significant distinction because it means this person had risen in wealth and esteem above the peasantry class.
