I read with great interest your post cocerning George Schmidt.
I decend from a Robert Smith (my ggg-grandfather), who was b. in 1765, in PA.He married a Mary Fraker, daughter of Michael Fraker who came to America abt 1755, from Germany.Robert and Mary had 3 sons: George, Adam (my line named after Mary's brother), and John R.Daughters were Elizabeth, Sarah, and Catherine.
Robert and Mary were married in Winchester, Frederick Co., VA 1790.They moved to Knox Co., TN in 1791.Michael moved his Fraker Clan to Greene Co., TN at the same time.
A George Schmidt/Smith, Wife, Rebecca Bowen, also moved to Greene Co., TN at the same time.George and Rebecca later moved to KY.I know George and Michael fought in the RW.George and Rebecca had 13 children, but I have not found a Robert.
A Bowen lived near Robert Smith on Beaver Creek, Knox Co, because it is mentioned in Robert's will.Also, a Michael Smith and a Peter Smith lived near Robert too.Robert bought the farm of Michael after his death.
Any possible connection?
Thanks in advance.
