They went by the second or secular name, in German called the "Rufname." He would have been called Gottlieb by family and friends, "Herr Kommandant" to underlings.

The meaning of the word "sessions" would be "meetings of deliberative or judicial bodies"; what is intended here is "cessions," meaning "the formal giving up of rights, property, or territory."

Possibly what someone saw was dual-dated 1678/79 (old Julian/new Gregorian calendars), it being in January. The Julian new year didn't begin until March 25th, so dates Jan - Mar 25th were dual-dated. ~~~~
