Notes for Johann Gilles
Source: MyHeritage.com--MyHeritage Family Trees: Family site (BackupMyTree); and Ancestry.com—Schwartz Family Tree; Schmitt Family Tree..
The Schwartz Family tree has Bitburg, Rheinland-Pfalz as his birthplace.
According to the BackupMyTree site, Johann and his wife had ten children.
Notes for Margaretha (Spouse 1)
Source: MyHeritage.com--MyHeritage Family Trees: Fox Web Site; and Ancestry.com—Schmitt Family Tree; Schwartz Family Tree; and Germany, Select Births and Baptisms, 1558-1898.
The Schwartz Family Tree gives 1800 as her birth year and 1806 as the year of her marriage, both highly unlikely. Her name was given as Margarethae Palms in the German birth index when her son John (Joannis) was born.
