I am going to Philipsburg, PA between 18 - 21 Oct. 12 and will be meeting with a family expert on Johann Georg Schimmel and to meet with other members of the extended family. I will attemp to resolve some of the questions that you have raised. Have you seen the article of Dave mason, decendent of Johann Grorg during a re-inactment of a shooting on a lake near Philipsburg, PA. In the re-enactment, Dave Mason shot the flag mast of a British sympatheiser while the individual was sitting in a boat out in the lake. The comment was that Johann Georg was either the best shot of the worst shot, as he shot the Flag mast of the British flag. If he was shhoting at the British sympatheiser, he missed and shot the flag mast. If he was shooting at the flag mast, it was a great shot. Johann Georg was a boar humter in Germany and a Hessian Soldier.
