From the period sources

Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel, born in Erfurt in 1685, was the son and pupil of the celebrated organist Johann Pachelbel, learning from his father to play the organ and harpsichord, as well as the rules of counterpoint, according to the Biographie universelle des musiciens et bibliographie générale de la musique (1837). After becoming an accomplished artist, he served as organist at Wehrd, near Nuremberg, and by 1706 was entrusted with the organ at St. Jakobskirche in Nuremberg. Later, from 1725, he held the position of organist at St. Sebald’s in Nuremberg, the same church where his influential father had served until his death in 1706, as noted by A Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (1900). Wilhelm Hieronymus published a “Musikal. Vergniigen” (1725), consisting of a prelude, fugue, and fantasia for organ or clavichord, and also a clavichord fugue.
