Hi, I Do Not Know about Jewish History, but I do know that in 1692 one of my Gx8 parents and four kids, With a group to of Forty, went from Wuettenberg, to Rotterdam Holland where they where waiting to sail G8pa died in rotterdam, They too had been to many Duchie and places to run from persecution. They arrived in Phil in 1694 almost 8 yrs after the Original 13. So No Answer can I give on Shumacher, don't even know when they got here, but I do know in 1694 They did that, and Rotterdam through Cowes was a poplular Route to take. I have links if you would like to go to my page and clink the word LINKS and you can search all over from ancestry to religion and American Histories, and Ways to find family over seas. Best of luck...
