As translated from the diary and bible of father Johann Michael Schmitt. "The 24th of June a little daughter was born to me, in the morning between 3 o'clock, in the sign of the Ram, and was brought to holy baptism on St. John's Day, being the 27th of the month, and sponsored by my mother-in-law from Hockenheim, who gave her the Christian name Maria Elisabetha."
Caspar Heckman married Elizabeth Schmidt JAN 26 1768, and they had a large family that possibly spanned 22 years of births..[1]

There is some doubt here about parentage, as Casper Heckman Jr. (this profile's husband) and his eldest son, Casper III, are having children at the same time.. and both wives are going by Elizabeth. So lines become rather blurry in a hurry.
