There are at least five documents pertaining to his testament, not all of them completely copied and deciphered. Images of these documents and additional information about the current state of research can be found on this web page: www.realmac.info/bachoffen.htm. In the course of these documents and others from the Protocolls of the Chancelry of Bischwiller, it is clear that he is called Abraham Dufour when the record is written in French, and, usually, Abraham Bachoffen when it is written in German. The occurrence of the names of witnesses and relatives make it clear that we are indeed dealing with the same Abraham in all cases. One example that proves the equivalency of the names is an original testament in French , 10 apr 1682, by Susanne Mercier, widow of Claude Ribelet, of which one of the witnesses is "Abraham Dufour", who makes his mark (AB, not AD!). Later, 26 jun 1684, the same testament was copied into the Protocoll of the Chancelry of Bischwiller, in German. At the end, the names of the same signers are given, except that Abraham is now called Bachoffen.
The documents that have been discovered are from the registers or Protocolls of the Chancelry of Bischwiller, now at the Archives Départementales de Bas-Rhin (ADBR) in Strasbourg, France, in a box labeled 6E5.2/166:
These documents seem to confirm several points: First, Abraham's own children by his two wives are not mentioned and are presumed to have died before 1684 without issue. Second, the siblings attributed to Abraham in the genealogies of the minister Poulet are confirmed, with the addition of a second sister Anna. Abraham's father is not named, so Poulet must have had additional sources. Third, the equivalence of Bachoffen and Dufour in Bischwiller is clearly demonstrated. Fourth, the origin of the family in Westrich, a region to the west of Alsace but whose boundaries are difficult to define, is stated directly, a fact not found in the Poulet genealogies. Evidently the search for the origins of the Bachoffen family must now move into "Westrich", and most likely to a Protestant parish about 1600.
The part of France often known today as Westrich is centered approximately at Sarralbe, in the Département of Moselle. There are only a few surviving church records of any denomination from this area for the period when Abraham Bachoffen would have lived there. The few survivals include protestant records from Fénétrange, Mittersheim, and Hangviller, plausibly near enough to be called Westrich, plus the voluminous registers of Metz (probably not considered part of Westrich during the period of interest to us). So far, we have found no mention of this family in those records. Internet sources, not yet verified, tell us that Abraham's sister Judith and her husband lived at Kirberg, near Fénétrange, until they moved to Bischwiller about 1650, along with other families displaced by political developments in Lorraine. Even if this migration scenario is correct, there must be more to the story, since Abraham Bachoffen and his wife Jeanne Luroth (from a family that seems to have followed a different path to Bischwiller) baptised a daughter Anne Marie in the Eglise Réformée in 1645. It was not the case that the entire extended family moved to Bischwiller at the same time.
(Where is Westrich? One list of the "principal towns" mentioned by Goethe: Ses bourgs les plus importants étaient, à l'époque de Goethe qui en parle dans son ouvrage "Dichtung und Warheit" ( Fiction ou réalité) en 1770: Saarbrücken, Sarrebourg, Fénétrange, Sarrewerden, Sarre-Union, Sarralbe, Sarreguemines, Sarrelouis, Blâmont, Badonviller, Faulquemont, Morhange, Phalsbourg, Bitche, Landstuhl,... pour ne citer que les plus importants. Another explanation is that it is the area to the east of the Moselle (river) and west of the Vosges (hills).)
Internet sources also provide a possible connection between the Abraham and the "Nivard" family. Abraham's sister Judith "DuFour" had married Jean Vautrin; their last child Jean Pierre is supposed to have been born at Bischwiller 18 nov 1657 (only the records of the Eglise Réformée go back that far) and married as his first wife Elizabeth Nivard. Elizabeth could easily have been the one who was baptised in the Eglise Réformée of Bischwiller 23 dec 1659, daughter of Nicolas Nivard and Jeanne Paris.

His birthdate is given in the Poulet genealogies, but we did not spot it in the registers of the French congregation of Bischwiller. He apparently died young, since there seems to be no later mention of him.

Following Poulet's genealogical table of 1753, we assign her as another daughter of Jacob Bachoffen. She is apparently the Marie daughter of Jacob du Four who appeared as a sponsor for a baptism at the French church in Bischwiller, 07 feb 1683. She may be the Maria Bachofen who died 24 mar 1723 at Olwisheim, wife of Jacob (illegible) des alter, herrschaftl. Muller. Jacob's surname was apparently indexed as Foltzel, but that reading does not seem plausible.

She is the subject of the earliest surviving baptismal record for the French congregation at Bischwiller. The church was established in 1618, but the earlier records were lost as a consequence of the Thirty Years' War.
