[Family Register 1808 - Pg 202.FTW]
He is shown as a weaver in L. and also as soldier. The place of death is not readable, but apparently not in Laichingen. First two children born to this couple, but before their marriage. This family is a sad story with two children going to America; parents dying so young. A total of 12 babies born to this couple. Only six survived, the ones I have recorded on fam. record.
Karlheinz Schoenfeld said in email of 5 Nov 1997, that his wife has deciperhed FR entry as, "1885 entwichen." Escaped would be the harsh word of the pastor making the entry. KH, according to family legend, believes Michael died in NY State before the last of his children came to NY, Buffalo area.
