Friedrich Heinrich Schumann Family


First Generation

Friedrich Heinrich Schumann, a physician, was born in Germany in 1777 and came to America in 1801, settling initially in Hope, New Jersey, where he married Johanna Salome Leinbach (1781-1821) in 1802. In 1807 he wrote to the Moravian leadership in Salem, asking if there would be an opening for him in one of the North Carolina communities, and he was invited to take up the position of doctor in Bethania providing he would "limit himself to the practice of medicine and the sale of patent medicines". He and Johanna Salome arrived in June, 1808 with their two sons. In 1816 they moved to Salem, and he continued his medical practice there until his death in 1862 at age 84. His second wife was Theodora Schultz (1804-1870). They had no biological children, but adopted a child, Ellen Blickensderfer (1834-1920) who had come to Salem from Lititz PA in 1844.
