Heinrich Schmidt was my 6th ggfather. Some of the information presented by Keith Dull is questionable. Dull has Heinrich listed as having 3 wifes. I can find no evidence that old Heinrich had any wife other than Margaret. I think Dull may have had his Schmidts confused. Also, Research of William S. Cramer in Smith family file 2711, 1992, York Historical Society Library. "Henry Smith emigrated aboard the ship Pennsylvania Merchant 11 Sept 1731 (Strassberger & Hicke pps 43,45,46.) Listed as Johan Hennrich Schmidt (SMIT, Johan Heindrick) with Margarite Smit (his wife). Since Heinrich's will was written in Hellam Twp on June 25, 1771 p. Sept 20, 1771 and executed by Maragaret Smith and Michael Trease, it would appear that a Margarite was his wife when he got here, and still his wife when he died. (my mother was named Marguerite) coincidence? Anyway, I would enjoy sharing information with you on the Schmidt family, Regards Roy Ruppert York, Pa [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
