I'm looking for information on Aaron Schwenk living in Frederick, Montgomery Co., between 1860 - 1880. He gave several affidavits and signed statements regarding John Sloop, Jr. and Hilary Sloop on behalf of their father, John H. Sloop, Sr., which are in the Sloop Families civil war pension files. John H. Sloop, Sr. rented a house from Mr. Schwenk beginning in 1862 located in "Frederick township...on the wagon road leading from Norristown to Zieglers-ville about fourteen miles from Norristown..." John Sloop, Jr. and Hillary Sloop worked for Mr. Schwenk making bricks in Mr. Schwenk's brickyard. John Sloop, Sr. lists his post office address as Schwenk's Store. I also have other documents dated around the same time from people listed as living in Schwenks-ville, such as Dr. Joseph Y. Bechtel, Solomon Grimley, and Benjamin Keely. Was Schwenks-ville a real place? Does anyone have any information on Aaron Schwenk, his brickyard and/or store? Claire Sloop
