I was wondering where you get the information that his parentage is German. The majority of the histories I have read state that his ancestry is Scottish. If you will go to my site: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mamawea&id=I016 you can see two of the histories I refer to, and there are others. I would be interested to know your sources.
