    •      It seems reasonable to assume that this is a second marriage for Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst (1787-1845). One of his children for whom I have an identity was born in 1813. If Anna Maria Elisabeth Schröer, who was born in 1802, were the mother of this child, she would have been but eleven years old at the birth.
           I suspect that the two eldest children (born in 1813 and 1816) presently listed in this family are the offspring of a previous marriage for Hermann Wilhelm Schoppenhorst, but I lack any documentation for two or more marriages. I have temporarily listed all of Hermann's children as the offspring of his marriage to Anna Maria Elisabeth, although I am not confident of the accuracy of this arrangement. This matters needs to be researched more thoroughly.
