Biography

The birth date, birthplace, and parentage of Anna Catharina (née —?—) Schmithers are unknown.

Spouse: Wilhelm "Wil" Schmithers
Other researchers attribute baptisms of Smithers children in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, to the couple who later settled in Rowan County, North Carolina; I cautiously agree. The given name of the children's mother is stated in the church baptisms as Anna Catherine.^[1]

Death

“5 November 1802, Schmetter wife buried” recorded in Pastor Storch’s Rowan County, North Carolina, record book.^[2]

This event was part of the original WikiTree profile. It should be ignored as it cannot apply to the wife of Wilhelm Schmithers because the couple were residing in North Carolina as early as 1778: Anna Catharina Schnider arrival 1803 in Pennsylvania; Index to Passenger and Immigration Lists, 1500s-1900s; database, Ancestry; citing Gale Research.
