Notes for Michael Schenk:
REFN: 26
Notes from George Shank's research:
All of their children were born at Eggiwil. It appears that at one point they lived in Dirmstein, Germany. In December 1671 they went to Oelitshoursch in Germany and in January 1672 to Ibersheim in the Pfalz area near Worms, Germany. This included: Michael_Jr and his wife; his father Michael_Sr.; her paternal grandfather Christian; and their four children. From Ibersheim all of them, except his wife who passed away, went to America in 1717.
A question that arises is that of Michael_Jr's children. The letter, from which I took this information, leads me to believe that he had four children, all born at Eggiwil. Later it makes a comment that "...1st 4 chdn were b. at Eggiwil." This would seem to indicate that he might have had more children, but nothing else in the letter indicates this to be true. It would be possible that before the move to America that he remarried and had other children. However, the letter that I have does not indicate such.
A little about Anna, Michael_Jr.'s wife. She was the daughter of Hans Stauffer and Magdalene Neuenschwander (Eggiwil Parish Reg). Her paternal grandfather was Christian Stauffer (see above). Christian was an Anabaptist preacher and historian who contributed to the "Martyers Mirror". He was imprisoned at Thun in 1644 and exiled in October 1671. Before she died in 1707 she left local money to her brother Hans Stauffer in Ibersheim.
