I am trying to locate this "Floyd" as I may be able to help him.  I will also help anyone else who may believe that they may be connected to the Robinets. 7-03

SCHMIDT,  JOHANN FRIEDRICH CONRAD immigrated to the US July 7, 1845 on the ship "Goethe".  He was born 13 Nov 1792 in Neuenknick 38, Windheim, Prussia.He is buried somewhere in the US. Likely Illinois or near St Louis.  Using the name Friedrich and could have last name as Smith. 

SCHMIDT, ANNA MARGARETH ELISABETH HELDT, his wife, born 26 Nov 1790 in Rosenhagen 14, Windheim.  She is using the name Elisabeth in the US and is buried at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in Red Bud. 

SCHMIDT, JOHANN FRIEDRICH CONRAD, born 22 Apr 1819 Neuenknick. He died 5 Dec 1865 in Red Bud.  Name used was Conrad or William Smith 

SCHMIDT, CHARLOTTE, born 8 Nov 1821 Neuenknick.  I suspect that she married Wilhelm SCHUTTE since they were sponsors for Conrad's children.

 SCHMIDT, SOPHIE WILHELMINE, born 13 Apr 1830 Neuenknick. She is either married to a Bense or Heinrich MOHRS.  Both were sponsors for Conras's children and Henry was also the guardian for Conrad's oldest daugher after he died. 

Please contact me if you have any information on where Johan Friedrich Conrad Schmidt is buried or any other information about this family.
