First of the family to leave the Catholic Church and become a Protestant, of the Mennonite faith.

He married MARIA HAGERHOFF date unknown. (MARIA HAGERHOFF reference 3009) (MARIA HAGERHOFF is #556.) MARIA was born in Mulheim, Westphalia, Germany. MARIA was the daughter of WILHELM HAGERHOFF and BARBARA.

The baptismal records in Mülheim-am-Ruhr only begin in 1658 so it is not possible to confirm the birth date for WILHELM RETTINGHAUSEN (1644-1708). Also marriage records are missing for the years between 1638 and 1654 so it is not possible to confirm the marriage date of his parents Claus and Maria.
