Johannes Schiele (a saddler by trade) was born on 24 June 1711 in Unterhausen, the son of Johannes Schiele and Anna Katharina Weber. He married on 3 June 1738 in Unterhausen to Maria Margaretha Haupter, baptized 26 January 1716, daughter of Johannes Wendel Haupter (school teacher and linen weaver) and Ursula, née Christner, both of Holzelfingen.[11] Maria Margaretha was previously married on 21 July 1737 to Matthäus Herrmann, son of Johann Jakob Herrmann (judge in Unterhausen). By Matthäus Herrmann, she had one child, Anna Barbara, born 27 April 1738, who came to South Carolina with her mother and step-father’s family. In South Carolina, Anna Barbara Herrmann married a German immigrant, Alexander Andrew Bowers.
"Historical Sketch of St. Thomas Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lexington County, S.C." by Rev. J.C. Wessinger includes the following information : "John Shely and his wife, Mary Margaret Haussler came to this country on the ship, CALEDONIA, in October 1752. They came from Germany, sailing from Rotterdam. Their son, John Wendel Shealy, born in 1746 in Germany came with them, landing in Charleston, S.C."[12]
Death:
The widow, Maria Margaretha Schiele, lived until the year 1805.[13]
On Nov 28, 1805, "The Charleston Times" published the following obituary excerpted from a letter from the Rev. Frederick Joseph Wallace (meaning Wallern) to Judge Watres, dated Dutch Fork, November 11, 1805:
“On the third day of October last, I attended, in one of my congregations, the funeral of Mrs. Margaret Sheely, a native of Germany, and fifty three years a resident of this place. She departed this life in the ninety-fifth year of her age; and had been a widow, these thirty years past. She had in all nine children, and in the course of her good old age, the happiness of seeing fifty-nine grand children, one hundred and seventy-one great-grand children, and three great great grand children, besides those she never did see; all of them the issue of her only son and five daughters.”
Note: Seven of her children by Johannes Schiele are accounted for in the German record and she had a daughter by her previous marriage. If Margareta Schiele had nine children there would have been an additional child born after arrival in SC. All of the fifty nine of her grandchildren are accounted for.
