Notes

Identified: the same birth date (19 Sep 1839) runs through the baptism, the 1861 banns ("Pedi Nuja Jürri's son Jaak Leoks" and "Marri Niggol" of Neu-Tännasilm), and the household books 1864–77 (.529 img 214), 1877–99 (.532 img 625, pp. 1332–33) and 1900–36 (.559 img 106, p. 236; day overwritten 12/19 there). The same wife throughout and his age 69 at death in 1909 fit. Only the baptism's farm, "Sare Annuse (Ado)", differs from the later "Nuia".
He is Hans Leoke's first cousin: son of Hans's uncle Jürri.
Children: Ann (13 Jun 1870 – 7 Sep 1896, Dorpat), Jaan (8 Jun 1875 – 1878), Jüri (30 Jun 1878 – 4 Nov 1934, Tallinn).
