Note: Falk Liebezeit, genealogist at Diepholz, Germany, provided informati on on the birth and marriage of Phillip. According to the baptismal recor ds of St. Cyriakus (Catholic) church in Duderstadt (p. 333-334, no. 87), P hilipp was born at 10 o'clock in the morning, 25th of October, 1824. H is parents were August Schaberg, day laborer, and Francisca Trutwig. He w as christened by the preacher Philipp Engelhard and his godfather was Igna tz Specht. The roll of the shoemakers guild tells that P. Schaberg start ed his four-year apprenticeship with master shoemaker Franz Kaesehag en on September 16, 1839. His inscription fees were not claimed becau se of his poverty (file Dud 2 No. 24016). The Duderstadt town archives sh ow that Philipp swore his citizen's oath on March 4, 1852. At that ti me he lived at No. 159 in the Sack ward, now Sackstr. 16 (citizen's lis t, census 1852). In the banns of his marriage to Johanne, published April 12 and 1 8, 1852 (Kreuzkirche Hannover vital records, leaf 69/72, No. 4; I have a c opy), he is recorded as a burger and master shoemaker in Duderstadt. I pr esume that Duderstadt is in Hannover because he later gave his birthpla ce as Hannover. The marriage records of St. Cyriakus, Duderstadt, show th at Philipp was not previously married and that the wedding took place on A pril 25, 1852. The preacher was Franz Bauschke and the best men were labo rers Carl and Friedrich Artmer. On the 1868 baptismal extract of his daughter Amalia Carolina (Dorot hy), he is listed as a weaver. On April 14, 1868, he obtained for Amalia a record of her birth a nd baptism. On April 17, 1868 the family sailed from Bremerhaven on the s hip Hermine and on June 5th arrived in Baltimore. According to Lloyd's Am erican Register, the Hermine was a ship of 568 tons, 130 feet long, 30 fe et wide, 17 feet deep, and was made of white oak with copper and iron fast enings. She had two decks and had a cabin on the poop. The Hermine was s hip-rigged, with square sails on all three masts. She was registered in B remen and owned by Friedr. M. Vietor and Sons. She carried 278 passenge rs and her master was A. B. Wilms. On the ship's passenger list Phili pp is called a shoemaker, 43, and with him are his wife Johanne, 49, and t hree children, Fritz, 13, Lina, 9, and Dorothy, 8. Just before Phili pp in the list is Amalia Heinemeier, 15. She was to become his second wi fe in 1874. In the 1870 census he is living in the 5th ward of York, PA, with h is wife Johanne (called Anna), son Fredericke, and daughter Dorothy (call ed Dorette). Lina is not listed. On October 18, 1874, he married Amalia Heinemeier in York, accordi ng to the Calendar of Vital Records of the Counties of York and Adams, fr om the Historical Society of York County. He is called a widower. Johan ne Meier Schaberg may have died between 1870 and 1874 but I have not yet f ound a record of her death. He was naturalized on February 10, 1876. He appears in the 1880 census in York, PA, as Philip Schaberg, 56 ye ars old, a shoemaker, and his wife is given as Martha, 28. His birth plac e, as well as his wife's, is given as Hanover (Germany). In the 1900 census, Philip is said to be 74, and his wife is giv en as Amelia L., 46 years old. She is said to have been married 26 yea rs so we must believe that she is the same person who was called Mart ha in 1880. In the 1900 census, both Philip and Amalia are said to have a rrived in America in 1867 and to have been here 31 years. Of course, we k now that they came over in 1868. The 1903 and 1905 York Directories list P hilip Schaberg at 274 W. Princess Street. His daughter Rebecca, a laundre ss, is listed with him but his wife is not listed anywhere until after h is death, when she is listed as his widow at another address. Philip died on March 23, 1911, according to Vital Records and is bur ied with Amalia Heinemeier and his son Frederick in Prospect Hill Cemeter y, York, PA.
