Johannes Iffelandt born about 1645, and died September 12,1721, he was buried on Sunday September 14,1721, at the age of 76 years and 5 months. His burial record of Mecklar states that he was commonly called the "old Tailor". He was a tailor as early as 1675 when his son Johann David Iffland was born.
Johannes married Mardt Lies, who was born about 1634/1635, in about 1669, this is based however on the birth of their first child. She was from Garderat (Gerterode) as shown by the baptismal record of her daughter, also named Mardt Lies. The names of Mardt Lies the wife of Johannes and also the daughter by the same name, may have instead been interpreted Margaretha Elizabeth. Her surname and family are not known. They lived for a time in Tann where their son was born in 1675. They later moved to Mecklar bei Bad Hersfeld in Hesse. While there is no record found of Mardt's death, it is assumed it was before 1696 when Johannes married Anna Catharina Cludlin (Cludl ?). They were married at the Evangelical Church of Mecklar. She died in may 1707 and was buried at Mecklar on May 22, 1707 at the age of 63 years.
Johannes Iffelandt and his first wife Mardt, had six children: Elisabet, Margredt, Johann David, Ann Elss, Mardt Lies, and Johannes.
