Johann Friedrich Braun (Doctor of Medicine, Bach's Pupil)

Born: August 18, 1714 - Ronneburg, Thuringia, Germany
Died: buried May 6, 1772 - Altenburg, Thuringia, Germany

Johann Friedrich Braun was born to Johann Friedrich Braun (innkeeper in Ronneburg). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on June 10, 1727; studied there from 1727 to 1734, since October 21, 1722 already as external; at Gymnasium Altenburg; and at Universität Leipzig from 1739; and at Universitäst Jena from 1743, where he was candidate and became doctor of medicine in 1747. Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. After his studies, he worked as doctor in Ronneburg, later in Altenburg.

Needs clarification:
Is this the same pupil as Johann Friedrich Braune?
