Heather's 7th Great Paternal Grandparents
MOst of my information is currently second hand, from a book I do not myself have a copy of - Stahl - A Trip Through History by Juaneve Marie Stahl, Rachael Aucker Stahl, Darlene Mae Knosp Brandt. I'm extremely uncertain of this information, since I do not yet have other sources, nor have I even seen the book first hand.

Frederick Stahl
Frederick Stahl, was a native of Switzerland, and previous to coming to Snyder county lived for a time near Hummelstown, Penn. Here he located near Freeburg, in Washington township, where his death occurred. He was married in this country, and became the father of three sons: Adam, the grandfather of our subject; Peter, who went to Wayne county, Ohio, during pioneer days; and Frederick, of whom nothing is known. - The Stahl Family In The Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania
1778 - Son Adam Stahl Was Born
Adam Stahl was born June 30, 1778, and was but a boy when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Snyder county, where he subsequently married Eve Susanna Albright, who was born May 10, 1782.
The above would make it seem unlikely that the father of Adam Stahl is Frederick Hennings Stahl that immigrated to American in 1798? Adam was 20 in 1798. But perhaps? I don't know. There are baptismal records for several children of Frederick and Margaret Elizabeth Stahl in Dauphin County, long before 1798.. but I do not know if they are for "our" Frederick either - although that would fit with the Hummelstown addres given, I cannot find a record of Adam's baptism.... A Frederick Wilhelm Stahl immigrated to America in 1763...
Research:
Possibly wife is Margaret Elizabeth Speidel- the daughter of Maximilian & Margaretha (Meyer) Speidel - Margaret Elizabeth's parents are buried at Hill Lutheran Chucrh, Hummelstown, PA (2 miles South of Hummelstown, now known as St. Paul's)
Genealogy and History of The Stahl Family, beginning with Frederick Stahl and Elizabeth Speidel. Frederick being from a German family and born in Switzerland, Elizabeth being born near today's Hummelstown, PA (then known as Lancaster or Philadelphia County). After marrying, they moved their family to what is the area known today as Freeburg and Port Trevorton, Snyder County, PA. Some of their descendants went West to Ohio and beyond, with the waves of German Settlers. Probably the most famous descendant being Warren Buffet.
Other facts not included in the book- Elizabeth Speidel's sister Anna married a Boss. Their grandson and his family was in the first Wagon Train of Brigham Young, and therefore one of the first Settlers to settle Salt Lake City. Adam Stahl married Eva Susanna Albrecht/Albright. Her Uncle was the originator of The Evangelical Church. Another Albright,John I believe, went South with Jacob Martin and settled in Casawell/Alamance County (depending on the time period that you are looking at) and started The Stoney Creek Church.
Margaretha Speidel was born in 1710. Margaretha Meyers ... She passed away in 1781. Records for Maximillian and Margaretha and their daughters can be found at Hill Lutheran Church, two miles South of Hummelstown, PA. Today it is known as St. Paul's.
