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

Description from military records: 5'6.5" tall, fair complexion, gray eyes,
brown hair.

Married by Jacob Hepler, according to Civil War pension records

Pension application was once denied for "vicious habits" during the war. He
was treated for venereal disease during the Civil War.

Family story: Charles left his wife after getting his pension for approximately 20
years, then came back to his wife. He and his wife lived with different families
membersat different times. The story goes that they eventually got back
together. They sat together on the porch at James Knerr's house and made
up. Then they spent their last few years together, living in a small house that
was then builtfor them on the property (near the creek?).

Charles also was to have survived the war, but got shot in (outside?) a bar on
the way back from the Civil War. I also heard the shooter was a rebel. When
Charles was around later in life, he complained of his injury, and according to
relatives, he would have hisgrandson Jack Knerr pick out the BB's that came
to the surface with a knife (so it must have been a shotgun wound).

It's odd that his pension applicationmakes no reference to either a wound or a
disability because of it. Probablysince there was no record in his service record of
a real war time wound, it wouldn't have done any good bringing it up. But clearly,
everyone in the family seems to have known that Charles was shot in a bar related
incident on the way back.

My Great Aunt Sue [Knerr] told me she had vague recollections of Charles. She
said the young boys would tease him but he'd say "you laugh, but people
will remember me..."
