Interested in learning about the parents/siblings of Mary Schuh, born about 1752, who married my Johann Jacob Junker/ Younker sometime around 1776. Mary may be a brother of Johann Schuh reported near Brickerville, Lancaster Co., PA in 1776. This Johann and his wife Catherina Magdalena Schuh had a son Jacob's birth recorded at Emanuel Lutheran (Old Warwick) Church, Brickerville on 10-1-1776. The Junckers/ Younkers had been at this church since 1752. Would like to exchange information or work with anyone whose Schuh ancestors trace to Lancaster Co., PA from 1750 to 1790. Secondarily looking for when this Schuh family came to Philadelphia and where was their town and country of origin. North Alsace, France is one possibility--that's where the Junckers were prior to coming to the Colonies in 1752.
