[E.A. Schwartz] [Ancestors Main Page]

Johann Georg Schwartz was born September 27, 1720, in Neckargemünd, Palatinate (now in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany). He married Catherine Schweig, who was born in Pennsylvania. He died October 8, 1799, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Neckargemünd is a little more than twenty air miles south of the region around Eich, where the Kimmels lived for several generations.

He apparently arrived in Philadelphia in 1743 aboard the Robert and Alice, commanded by Martly Cussack. The source includes a note: "Qualified Septr. 30, 1743."
