I've got to get my hands on the pre-emigration Schwenningen family registry for the parents. But it requires going to my local LDS which is still closed.
The 1851 census looks promising as the right family unit for the Schwenningen family EXCEPT for the child Aaron. Aaron is not a given name used by Schwenningen families. And he was born prior to emigration (if this is one of the 1847 families). The male "Christy" was probably born Christian.
