Maria Magdalena Schofer (b. 1753) married (28 Mar 1781)Andreas Faas (b. 1754) in both from Neuenburg, Schwarzwaldkreis, Württemberg in Germany. Her father was Jacob Friederich Schofer (b. 23 Jan 1719) and his father was Johannes Schofer.

Maria and Andreas had 9 children. Their son, Johann Gottlieb Faas, Sr. left Germany to come to the US in April 1830. They lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Marion, Ohio. After his first wife died (1844), Johann came with his family to Iowa. I am related through him.

Hope that helps you. I would love to have more info on Maria's family.
