| Notes |
- Michael Schauer had no birth or baptismal record and was likely born in Bavaria (one source states Bayern), and died possibly in 1709 on the trip to the New World.
He married Anna Magdalena probably in Massenbach, Germany.
The registers of Massenbach call Michael a Catholic and Anna Magdalena a Lutheran. Michael Schauer was a Palantine convert from Catholocism who was admitted to the Lords Supper in the Protestant communion at the Lutheran Church at the Savoy in London shortly after 9 October 1709.
A Michel Schehart, his wife, and two children, were on Captain Jno. Untank's ship in the 5th party in Holland in 1709 though it is not for sure that Michel Schehart is the same person as Michael Schauer. He must have died on the voyage to the New World.
Magdalena made her first appearance on the Hunter Lists on 30 June 1710 with 2 persons over 10 years of age and 2 person under 10 years. Her last entry was on 31 December 1710 with the same numbers. She was recorded as Magdalin Schourer in 1718 and Magdalen Shower in 1721 on the Palatine Debt Lists. She was mentioned in the Family List for St. Peter Lutheran Church in 1734 along with her third husband Paul Engel and her daughter by her second marriage Maria Dausweberin.
