Richard, What I know (and speculate) about this Frederick Schwenk is posted on-line at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=schwenk&id=I060506 He is not part of my branch of Schwenks, so have not researched him thoroughly. Again, what I have contains speculations, so all I can hope is that my material provides you with a helpful lead.
