Anna Jacobea Scholl 1667 - 1729

Anna Jacobea Scholl is the second child of Anna Margareta Hosin and Hans Andreas Endris Scholl.  She was born 26 April 1667. Her birth record has a cross drawn on the document which means nothing.

 Adam Kemm is friends with Hans Andreas Endris Scholl and acts as sponsor when Johann Christoph Scholl is born 1675 and twenty years later on 8 January 1695 Adam marries his Andreas Endris' second child Anna Jacobea Scholl. The couple has 5 children. The marriage record between Jacobea and Adam notes Adam was a member of the city council. Anna Jacobea Scholl first married Johann Adam Kemm 8th January 1695. Johann Adam Kemm died 20 January 1704. Anna Jacobea (Scholl) Kemm, as a widow, married Hans Heinrich Still in February 1707.

1. Anna Margaretha 1696-1762 married Johann Georg Schuetz K6SK-8FX

3. Johann Adam 1701-1701

Note: The Heyl family must have loved Jacobina Scholl because they named one of the twins after her.

Date: on the 9th of September [1693] born [and] on the same day baptized.
Child: Hanß Jacob.
Parents: Hanß Jost Wenz and Sabina.
Baptismal sponsors: Hanß Adam Kem(m), Jacobea Schollin, Jacob Bekher, and Margaretha Weickhin. 
Note: A year and 4mo before Jacobina and Adam Kemm tie the knot they are co-baptismal sponsors to the Wenz family. November 1691 Adam's wife Susanna Barbara Heyl dies. This baptismal sponsorship is about two years later. In other words Adam is single for about three years during which time he gets to know Jacobina.

Jacobea Scholl m 8 Jan 1695 to Adam Kemm film 102078348 page 185
Translation by Robert Seal:
On the 8th of January [1695], after holding a wedding sermon, were married Hanß Adam "Kamm", citizen and of the council here, with Jacobea, legitimate surviving daughter of the late Hanß Endriß Scholl, middle-class inhabitant here.
Robert Seal Note: "of the council" = member of the city/village/town council. "bürgerlich" = middle-class; bourgeois (see Thode, p. 40). He was a middle class resident of the city/town, higher up on the social and economic scale than probably most people in the town.
Anna Margaretha Kemm b 5 Apr 1696 film 004137289 page 240
Translation by Robert Seal:
Date: born on the 3rd of April [1696], baptized on the 5th of April [1696] in the afternoon.
Child: Anna Margaretha.
Parents: Hanß Adam Kämm, wife Anna Jacobea.
Baptismal sponsors: Mr. Peter Keller, mayor, and fiancée Anna Margaretha. Hanß Jost Wentz and fiancée Sabina.
Kent: Why does Peter Keller have a fiancèe when he is married?
Joss Wentz KGCM-HRY married Sabina about 1682 which adds more confusion.
Robert:Yes, this is very confusing. I checked the record again and the word before both female baptismal sponsors' names is: sponsa = engaged woman, fiancée, bride, intended, betrothed.
Even substituting "bride" for "fiancée" doesn't make sense because "bride" infers newly married.
Perhaps the scribe made a mistake in identifying these two women as "sponsa".
Note that this birth took place in the first week of April 1696. You should minimally search marriage records for April through December 1696 and all of 1697 to see if you can find a marriage record for :
(1) Peter Keller and Anna Margaretha; and
(2) Hanß Jost Wentz and Sabina.
Kent: The marriage records in Graben for these marriages are incomplete and sparce and cannot be located.

Jacobea Scholl Kemm death 25 Jan 1729 film 102078348 page 338 item 185
Robert Seal: SUCCESS!
Problem solved. Anna Jacobea Scholl first married Johann Adam Kemm in January 1695. Johann Adam Kemm died in January 1704. Anna Jacobea (Scholl) Kemm, as a widow, married Hans Heinrich Still in February 1707.
Here's the link to her second marriage: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/15060844:9870?tid=&pid=&queryId=2b5bbe3622c566e814b85c00275c2f3d&_phsrc=VlI70&_phstart=successSource
So the January 1729 death record you posted is the correct death record for Anna Jacobea (Scholl) Kemm Still.
Here is the translation of that record:
In the left margin: Anna Jacobea Stillin. [new married name]
185. On the 25th of January [1729], Anna Jacobea Stillin died, wife of Mr. Henrich Still, local cartwright, who thereafter with the sound of bells, singing, and a funeral sermon was buried. Age 61 years and 9 months.
