Schoppenhorst, Hermann Wilhelm

Other Events:

• Immigration: 1834, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:
Hermann's birth date has been reported as either 3 or 5 September 1813.
     There is some question about the accuracy of the present composition of this family that has not yet been resolved.
     The record of Hermann Wilhelm's emigration from Germany in 1834 lists his birth date as 3 September 1813 and his parents as Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst and Anna Maria Elisabeth Schröer. A similar record of a 1840 emigration for his brother, Hermann Heinrich Schoppenhorst lists a birth date of 16 May 1816, with Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst and Anna Maria Elisabeth Schröer again cited as the parents. The record of this couple's emigration in 1844 gives Anna Maria's birth date as 12 April 1802. These facts raise some concerns about the probability that Anna Maria would have been a mother at such a very young age.
     I suspect that the two eldest children (born in 1813 and 1816) presently listed in this family are the offspring of a previous marriage for Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst (1787-1845), but I lack any documentation for two or more marriages. Consequently, I have temporarily listed all of Hermann's children as the offspring of his marriage to Anna Maria Elisabeth, although I am not confident of the accuracy of this arrangement. This matter needs to be researched more thoroughly.
