About his acquisition of his rights of citizen is nothing known, but after 1710 he is called a citizen.
Johann married a 1st time on 21.May 1700 in Birnbaum Helena Klippel from Wronke, daughter of George Klüppel and his wife. She is in the marriagerecord only named as “Golicks widow”. The churchrecords didn’t reach far enough back to find her first marriage to find out her birthname.
