I have a Samuel Waldsmtih, dates unknown, as a brother to my gr-gr-great grandfather, David W(esley) Waldsmith. David was born 05 NOV 1811 and died 26 MAR 1889, and is buried in Donation, Huntingdon County, PA. He had 10 siblings (last name spelled both Waldsmith and Waldschmidt): Jacob, Elizabeth, Judith, Mary Ann, James, John, Martha, William, George and Samuel. Unfortunately I have no dates for any of these, but judging from David'd birth year, there is a very good chance that these Samuels are one and the same. These were the children of Johannes Waldschmidt, b. 13 Jan 1788, and Martha White. I have the line for Johannes all the way back to his gr-great grandfather, Simon Waldschmidt b. about 1669 in Germany. However, much of this info was gathered from various websites, so I have not been able to verify it all, but it makes for a good start. Contact me at 78steelhead@comcast.net.
