Hi Kristine,
Do you know if the eldest child in generation three of the following is 'your' Enos?

Generation No. 1
1.NICHOLAS SCHWENKwas born abt 1691 in Germany, and died in (probably) PA.
Nicholas Schwenk arrived in America aboard the "St. Andrew" in 1741, listed as age 50, hence his estimated birth year of 1691.However, those passenger lists were made up by English-speaking people who didn't understand German, and usually the German passengers didn't speak English, so ages were estimated.Nicholas was accompanied by Lorentz, listed as age 18, believed to be his son.Nothing further is known of this Nicholas.I’ve been told that he is possibly the son of a Peter Schwenk, brother of Johann Daniel Schwenk.Child of NICHOLAS SCHWENK is:
2. i. LORENTZ (LAWRENCE) SCHWENK, b. abt 1723, Germany; d. Jun 1801, Mint Springs, VA (possibly buried in the Zieber-Schwenk private graveyard, Montgomery Co, PA).
