Note, a Jacob Schwenk - 1802-1879, wf Maria (Rudy), buriedat St John's UCC,

who is this?
I am looking for information onthe parents of Magdalena (Schwenk)
Ney. She was born October 13, 1793 and died August 27, 1861. She
was married to Johan Christian Neu/Ney and lived in Wayne Twp. and
Manheim Twp., Schuylkill Co., PA. Magdalena and her husband are
buried in St. Paul's Cemetery, South Manheim Twp., Schuylkill Co.,
PA. Any help in locating Magdalena's parents would be greatly
appreciated! Gregory Phillips IIJacob married Maria Magdalena DEGLER 20 Apr 1784, Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchsburg, Marion Twp, Berks Co, PA. Maria was born Abt 1758; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

(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

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.Children:
