NOTE: I wonder if Marcus or his wife is related to Adam Schweigert or Adam

#######
confirmations at Summerhill, not accounted for:
1808: Catharine, Magdalena, Maria Magdalena, Elisabeth

3 May 1807 communicant at Summerhiill - Michael Schwenk

married at Christ Lutheran (same place as Conrad Schwenk):
Michael Schwenk and Catharine Schneider, single 26 Dec 1796 (another son?)

married (Reading Adler):
Elizabeth Schwenk and Jacob Petri, 25 Oct 1808 (probably a daughter)

########
why put Marcus as the father of the Summerhill Schwenks?
1) he's the right age.
2) he has the son John Adam born/baptized at the right time
3) he's the only person adult in the region when the young Schwenk men come of age
4) the Schwenk boys are sponsors to each others' kids showing likely being brothers
5) Conrad Schwenk Jr named a child with thethen uncommon name Marcus (1825)
(probably in memory of his grandfather)
6)the Schwenks of Berks Co seem to keep to themselves and don't interact with these

Dorothea's at Summer Hill:

Dietrich Schneider and Dorothea:
sp -> 1790, Catharine Hittel, illeg
sp ->1800, Conrad Rein and Catharina
sp -> 1804, Conrad Rein and Catharina
No, they were together at Altalaha in 1779 and other N. Berks Churches after that.

A George Adam Wagner had wf Dorothea, but they were at Red Church much earlier.
Not her.

These Dorothea's had children after this one would be too old:
Michael Hoffman and Dorothea 1793
Abraham Berkley/Bertle and Dorothea 1794

or maybe, Dorothy moved back to Bern and remarried there. Note that son Conrad
and Michael (son?) were married at Stouchsburg. Perhaps they had moved with
the mother (Dorothy) back to Bern.

The location of birth is in my opinion still quite speculative. That is, Reber isn't a rare
or unusual name, so anchoring his birth in Germany should be done carefully. So
far, there seems to be a "three brothers" theory where all the rebers from one
place in Germany, but I believe some serious research needs to be done here
before I believe the Langensebold connection.

Langensebold, Kreis Hanau, Kassel, Germany? or Hanau?
