It appears that JS Bach had two wives. In 1707, at the age of 22, he married his second cousin, Maria Barbara Bach with whom he had many children, only four of whom survived. Maria died suddenly in May 1720. The following year, Bach married again to Anna Magdalena Wilcken who was the daughter of a musician. She was a singer, harpsichordist and music copyist. She took on the four surviving children from his earlier marriage and produced a further 13.
