Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/12141 Surname: Schul, Hackerstorp, Slaughter, Folmar ------------------------- I am searching for the Schul family from Wheeling, Ohio County, WV. I have that the original Schul was a Balthazer (Balzer or Baltsen) Schul who came from Dusseldorf, Germany, (Hesse), in about 1850. His first wife was Elizabeth Stumpff who was born about 1825. She died in 1875 and is buried somewhere in the Wheeling area. I beleive that Balsten remarried a woman named Louisa Hackerstorp who had a child Lizzie from a previous marriage. Balsten and Elizabeth had the following children. Fredrick or Fredrich Casper Schul b. 1857 Wheeling WV d. 1943 Windield KS Lena Schul b 1861 d 1952 She married Carabin Folmar in Wheeling Wiiliam b 1863 d. 1930 Wheeling WV Edward b 1865 d. 1954 Wheeling WV Tillie or Matilda b 1870 d. 1935 Wheeling WV Baltsen and Louisa had a child Mary born about 1879. If anybody is researching any of these people, I would like to exchange information.
