His sons Johann Georg Stahlschmidt ( 1701-1762 ) and Jost Henrich Stahlschmidt ( 1708-1784 ) founded new families, following in the professional footsteps of their ancestors in the steel-trade.
All we actually know about the daily life of Jost Henrich Stahlschmidt at his estate Huxholl stems from the auto-biographical work by Heinrich Jung-Stilling titled « Henrich Stillings Jugend, Jünglingsjahre, Wanderschaft und Häusliches Leben » - published 1777 and pre-printed several times since.
At this remote of time it is impossible to ascertain just how much faith we can place in his description of this bitter period - but other publications of H. Jung-Stilling would incline one to invoke " a grain of salt ". (" vide " his recounting of the career of Peter Clarenbach from Lüttringhausen from supposedly shoemaker to successful magnate - Clarenbach was born into a well established wealthy family of steel-smiths and never was a shoemaker) *.

Dass wir über besondere Kenntnisse über das tägliche Leben Jost Henrich Stahlschmidts auf Gut Huxholl verfügen, verdanken wir den biographischen Aufzeichnungen H. Jung-Stillings, welche unter dem Titel:« Henrich Stillings Jugend, Jünglingsjahre, Wanderschaft und Häusliches Leben » im Jahre 1777 erschienen sind.
Darin hat Jung-Stilling über seine recht bitteren Erfahrungen als Junglehrer seinerzeit auf Gut Huxholl berichet.
