I believe the parentage to be incorrect here. His mother born in 1558 and the father born in 1581 and his birth 1660 that would make his mother 102 when she delivered. Think there are some generations skipped.
Family Search had him listed with two different families. One was a mother Elizabeth and the other a Maria. When I compared his birthdate with the other children of Elizabeth he was born 5 years before the other children and before they were married. When I looked at the other family with the mother Maria his date of birth fit right in with the rest of the children so I moved him in Family Search to the family with Maria as the mother.
Here are the two files in Family Search that I have looked at https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L1S4-Q9Y
and https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LDM9-8P5 this last family was married 15 August 1665 and this Melchior was born in 1659 while 6 years is not a big difference between dates of birth of the children he fit right into the birthdates of the Hanss with the wife Maria. I have since merged the two Melchoirs so he is not listed under the mother Elizabeth in Family search anymore but now I also compared with Ancestry.com and they have the mother listed as Elizabeth and a different father. So I am looking for some more information of who this Melchoir belongs to. I just know it can not be this family posted here because of the mothers age.
