[75a] DAVID SCHUBERT (SHOEBART)[E 75], and his wife. MARIA TEICHMAN [E 217], started to come to Pa. with the other group of Schwenkfelders who left Haarlem on June 19, 1734, but Mrs. Schubert died on the Si. Andrew on Aug. 22, 1734, just one month before the boat landed in Phila. A son was also born to them on the St. Andrew, on June 30, and died Aug. 18, 1734, so that David Schubert probably had more anguish and sorrow than any of the other immigrant Schwenkfelders.

Before the migration David Schubert lived in Ober Harpersdorf. He is mentioned in the Church Records as Schlesischer Einwohner in Herrnhut in 1728, and as Haussgenosse in Herrnhut in 1730, when children were born to him. The records of his children by his first wife, MARIA TEICHMAN, follow:

Children (4):

1. David, b Aug. 17, 1728; baptized Aug. 19, 1728; sponsors: Balthasar Jackel (Pachter des Oberguts); George Reinwald (Schles. Einwohner hier—Berthelsdorf); Frau Susanna Kriebel. Thisson, David, died in Berthelsdorf, Jan. 26, 1729, about 12 o’clock, midnight; aged 23 weeks, and was buried there on the 27th with a Collecte.

2. Susanna [E 181], b Feb. 11, 1730; sponsors: Georg Reinwald, Jr.; Frau Susanna, Kaspar Kriebels Ehefrau; Jungfrau Susanna Jackel, Tochter Balthasar Jackels. Susanna died Aug. 5, 1756; unm; her father at that time residing at Chestnut Hill, Phila.

3. David [E 182], b Apr. 25, 1732; baptized Apr. 30, sponsors: Kaspar Kriebel, Georg Reinwald and Jgfr. Susanna Jackel. David died Sept. 25, 1734; and was buried Sept. 26, in Phila.

4. Son [E 216], b June 30, 1734, on the St Andrew; d Aug. 18, 1734, and was buried at sea.

Maria Teichman Schubert [E 217], wife of David Schubert, died on the St. Andrew, Aug. 22, 1734, at about 9 A.M., and on the afternoon of the same day her body was fastened to a board and sunk into the ocean—in tiefes Meer Gesenkt. She had injured herself a few days before while mounting the deck. Just before she died she was feeding her children [Cf. Diary of Journey].
