to 1742, seven of whom died at a young age: Christiana Sophia Henrietta (spring 1723–29 June 1726) Gottfried Heinrich (26 February 1724 – 12 February 1763) Christian Gottlieb (14 April 1725 – 24 August 1728) Elisabeth Juliana Friederica, called "Liesgen" (5 April 1726 – 24 August 1781), married to Bach's pupil, Johann Christoph Altnickol Ernestus Andreas (30 October 1727 – 1 November 1727) Regina Johanna (10 October 1728 – 25 April 1733) Christiana Benedicta (1 January 1730 – 4 January 1730) Christiana Dorothea (18 March 1731 – 31 August 1732) Johann Christoph Friedrich, the 'Bückeburg' Bach (21 June 1732 – 26 January 1795) Johann August Abraham (5 November 1733 – 6 November 1733) Johann Christian, the 'London' Bach (5 September 1735 – 1 January 1782) Johanna Carolina (30 October 1737 – 18 August 1781) Regina Susanna (22 February 1742 – 14 December 1809) After Johann Sebastian's death in 1750, his sons came into conflict and moved on in separate directions, going to live with other family members.

She died on 27 February 1760, with no money at all, and was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave at Leipzig's (St. John's Church). The church was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II.
