Biography

Jacob Schumacher (anglicized to Shoemaker) was born in Alsace, on the border of France and Germany. The Palatinate has a border beginning in the north, on the Moselle River about 35 miles southwest of Coblenz to Bingen and east to Mainz, down the Rhine River to Oppenheim, Guntersblum and Worms, then continuing eastward above the Nieckar River about 25 miles east of Heidelberg then looping back westerly below Heidelberg to Speyer, south down the Rhine River to Alsace, then north-westerly back up to its beginning on the Moselle River. This area was in a constant state of border wars between Germany and France and so many of its peoples fled to America.

Researcher's Notes

WikiTree generates the following message: "A birth date (Schumacher-605 born Sep 1731) should not be within eight months of a sibling's birth date (Shoemaker-1189 born 22 Feb 1732) unless they are twins born within a day of each other." Changing the date of birth to circa 1730, which agrees with DAR records. jg June 18, 2018
