Johann Friedrich Schmidt was
born about 1770. Neither the record of his birth, nor his baptism, were
found. He was identified through the baptismal and marriage records of
some of his children. The Gross Raddow church records prior to
1805 were destroyed or lost during World War II and in the expulsion of
the German people following the war. According to the baptismal record of
his daughter, Hanna Charlotte Henriette Schmidt, who was born on 6 December
1807, and also according to the marriage records of several of his daughters,
Johann Friedrich Schmidt was a "Böttchermeister," or master cooper,
in Gross Raddow. Johann Friedrich Schmidt's birth year was assumed
to be about the same as that of his wife. The death record of Johann
Friedrich Schmidt was also not found, but he was listed as still being alive at the time of
the marriage of his daughter, Albertine Julianna Louisa Schmidt, marriage on 6 May
1847.
It is assumed that Johann Friedrich
Schmidt married Henriette Sophie Fleischfresser in about
1795. Her death and burial was recorded at the Evangelical Church in
Gross Raddow on 19 December 1846 at the age of 74 years 6 months and 18 days;
which dates her birth as 1 May 1772. Since no birth or marriage records
were found, it was not possible to identify the parents of either Johann
Friedrich Schmidt nor that of his wife, Henriette Sophie Fleischfresser.
These children were found to be children of Johann Friedrich
Schmidt and Henriette Sophie Fleischfresser. All except Hanna Charlotte
Henriette Schmidt were identified through their marriage records in the
Evangelical Church at Gross Raddow, Kreis Regenwalde, Pommern, Prussia.
