Kaess clan appears to have begun in Erdmannhausen, Germany,  by 1522, then spread out to nearby towns such as Affalterbach in 1545, Burgstall by 1669, then Benningen am Neckar by 1700. 1st two documents are of Gilg Kaess and Jung Gilg Kaess from about 1542 in Erdmannhausen from a Turks-estimate.

Attached are two records for Georg Kaes, b. 1634. The first appears to be a baptismal record, the 2nd is a marriage record.

The following is a transcription of the above and is about Kaess Heraldry:

"Käes ein Adeliches Geschlechte in Schwaben, dessen Wappen einmal die Quere und unten wieder einmahl die Länge getheilet ist. Im ersten Schilde befindet sich ein schwarzer gekrönter Adler im goldenen Felde. Im andern sind drei goldene Sterne im blauen Felde. Im dritten sieht man einen aufgerichteten silbernen Löwen im roten Felde. Auf den gecrönten Helme steht ein schwarzer gecrönter Adler. Die Helm-Decke zur Rechten ist scwarz und Gold, zur Linken rot und Silber. Wappenb.(uch) III.p.III."
