While I was gone yesterday the Family history Center called and said that the films were in from Salt Lake. I Spent the afternoon there on the reader looking at church records for Spesburg Germany. 18 Aug 1825 Philip Biehl 24 years old ,son of Theaboold Biehl of Hitchenhousen his wife Maria lisaberha Glisk was married to Maria Eva Schmitt widow of the late Michael Kurz Their first child Eva was born 2 Feb.1926 and was baptized 5 Feb,1826 the God parents were Jacob Schmitt and Maria Eli Betha. The town on the map is spelled Huetschenhausen but the church records spell it Hitchenhoausen. 7 April Michael married Maria Eva Schmitt daughter of Jacob Schmitt of Spesback and his wife Catharina Krick. I haven't found Maria and her birth date of 1826 is wrong. Nor have I found Lewis I think his date is right. WE know they were in Ohio in 1832 and bought land. Ken Gooden
