(book gives dates as 16 Mar 1782-16 Feb 1867 Tombstone in Paradise Cemetery shows Born 14 Dec 1776 Died Oct 7 1829 - possibly not the same Johannes Schmeck! There is a John Schmeck in the Zion Spies Cemetery 1781-1867 - he is recorded as the son of Valentine & Catherine Schmeck, and one in Alsace Cemetery that is likely this Johannes?)
