Life

Johann Friedrich Stoy was the son of the then preacher Paul Stoy, who later held the position of a conductor at the St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg, and his wife Klara Katharina, daughter of the Nuremberg councilor and mathematician Georg Arnold Burger (1649-1712). He had received his first education at the Aegidianum in Nuremberg. In 1718 he moved to the University of Altdorf to study philosophy and theology under Christian Gottlieb Schwarz (1675–1751), Johann Heinrich Müller , Johann David Köhler , Jakob Wilhelm Feuerlein , Gustav Georg Zeltner , Johann Wilhelm Baier and Johann Jacob Pfitzer .

Under Pfitzer's chairmanship, he defended the treatise in 1723: de beneficiis typicis and in the same year under Müller his inaugural dissertation de hydrometro , whereupon he received the master's degree in philosophy at the university anniversary at the time . After a short stay in Jarmen in Pomerania, where he supported his cousin Kasper Stoy in his official business as a preacher, he continued his studies at the University of Greifswald with Albrecht Joachim von Krakevitz , Heinrich Brandanus Gebhardi and Andreas Westphal (historian) . Then he completed an educational trip through Germany, Holland and England.

In 1725 Stoy became a candidate for the office of preacher in Nuremberg, and in 1727 he became the vicar of the pastor in Engelthal , whose position he received in 1729. In the last year he found a wife in Magdalena Sybilla, the daughter of the preacher to Offenhausen Konrad Martin Limburger, with whom he fathered ten children. In 1736 he was preacher to the south at the hospital in Nuremberg, in 1739 a deacon at the St. Sebald Church there and later a senior at the ministry, as well as in 1766 Schaffer there. The man, equipped with theological knowledge, was considered a popular pulpit speaker among his contemporaries.
