My great great etc, was Gerhart Hendricks, one of the Kreigsheim Quakers that came to Philadelphia in 1685. When he landed the ship records show he had a daughter, Sarah Schumacher Hendricks (born abt 1678 in Kreigheim.) His brother in law, George Schumacher died at sea in 1686, but his widow (Gerhart Hendricks' sister), Sarah Schumacher, made it to Phila in 1686. Gerhart Hendricks and Sarah Hendricks Schumacher were Children of Gerrit Hendricks, (born about 1620 died abt 1685 in Kriegsheim)
George Schumacher's parents were Peter Schumacher and his wife also a Sarah Hendricks, (also born about 1620). Does any one have any information about Peter Schumacher's wife and whether she was related to the same Hendricks family.
In addition, there is some reference here and there, that the families of Peter Schumacher and Gerrit Hendricks left Holland because of religious persecution aginst Mennonites. There are references in the Martyr's Book of Mirrors to persecutions and imprisonment and eventual executions of a Schumacher and a Hendricks in Holland in the 1500's. I am also trying to learn if there is a link between those martyrs and the Schumacher and Hendricks families who were in Kriegsheim in the 1600's. I understand that Dutch Mennonite families moved from Holland to Dollendorf and then some moved further to Kriegsheim.
