    sp (Marx Schnenk and Dorothea) -> 1757 Adam Schweigerth and Eva, Bern Twp
    (Rev Schumacher)
    sp - 1762 John Adam Madern and wf Magdalena

    sp (Margaretha) -> 1793 Adam Schwenk and Christine (=wf2 or daughter of Marc?)

    NOTE: I wonder if Marcus or his wife is related to Adam Schweigert or Adam
    Madern. The former moved to Schuylkill County about the same time.

    #######
    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

    Notes:

    did Dorothea live and remarry after Mark's death?
    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.
