Note: -German spellings: HENNESHIED/DT, HINNESHIEDT, HENDESHIEDT. -LDS Ordinances done 1948 & 1949 under erroneous name of Michael von Hayderschatt (md to Catharina von Henrikschofen - also erroneous); ordinances valid however.
-Assumed Micahel's first name Johann, as were all the sons; always as Michael in documents.
-Timeline:

-Emigrated from Germany in spring 1709 at which time Michel Hennescheidt had 4 children- [Johann?] Casper bc1699, Johann Peter chr1702, Maria Rosina Cath. chr1704, Johann Henrich chr1706; subsequently Michel Hinterschit arrived Rotterdam (in 6th party of immigrants) "with wife Anna Catharina, and 3 children"; they sailed to England and lodged there with the other approximately 3-4000 German immigrants until the fleet of 10-11 ships were readied and left England reportedly in early 1710 (some say as late as April), arriving in New York Harbor June-July 1710; the exact ship is unknown. The first ship to arrive was the "Lyon", but which passengers were on it is not known.
-A listing of Palatines in NYC in 1710/11 has: Michael Henneschid age 36, Anna Catharina Henneschid aged 30, Casper aged 11, John Peter aged 1, Maria Sophia aged 6. From this confusing listing I conclude: 1) this sequence is right for Johan Peter chr1702 who would have been 9; I believe the "1" is a misreading of the number "9". 2) I believe the English recorder heard Maria "Sophia" for the name Maria Rosina, who would have been 6 having been chr1704; 3) Since Johan Heinrich is not listed, I believe he is the child missing in the Rotterdam List, having died before their leaving; or more probably along the way as no record of death is found in the Reipoltskirchen records.
-NYC: Governor Hunter's Subsistence Lists which only records the father's name and the numbers of family members under & over age 10, lists the family of Michael Henneschid 4 July 1710, again 4 Aug 1710, also winter 1710/1711, and winter 1712/13 [and in this year a new child under age 10 indicates the birth of Michael1712].
-In Simmendinger's Register of Palatines 1716/17, we find Michael Hinterscheid and Anna Catharina, with 4 children "were auf dem Rarendantz" or living in the Raritan River area in New Jersey.
-NYC Lutheran Churchbook lists births of children of Michael Hunschut and Catharina (at Millstone River; bap at Raritons - juncture of two branches of Raritan River in today's Franklin Twp, Somerset co)
1. Elisabetha b1716; sponsors - Johann Tittle, wf Elisabeth
2. Eva b1717; sponsors - Daniel Schoemacher & Eva Weber; md to Wm. Pettinger
3. Johannes b1720; sponsors - Baldus Pickel, wf Gertrud; [not to be confused with a later immigrant into PA 1749 named John George Hinnershitz (1724-?); our John1720 had no middle name.]
-Research efforts of John Ruch, who located Naumburger Hof and did much of the first research into the German family history; continuing research into Balters, Schneiders, and Henneschiedts.
