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 ######### some births from LDS site (see site for parents names) 07 MAY 1718 Ruebgarten, Schwarzwaldkreis, Wuerttemberg note a Markus Schwenk 1755-1832, s/o Hans Jacob Schwenk and Barbara Schwaiger at Ruebgarten, Schwarzwaldkreis, Wuerttemberg married 1779 Anna Margaretha Armbruster married 1795 Barbara Schweizer location also listed as Walddorf, Wuerttemberg, Germany * interesting having all those names at the same place and time!
