Charleston Orphan House:

SCHMIDT, Andreas Maguire-
Admitted May 25, 1854 aged four years and eight mo. by MARIA HENRIETTA
SCHMIDT,  mother. Indentures expired September 30, 1870. (S-15) 
Delivered to his mother May 15, 1856. (ROB, 1856) Father, SEBASTIAN, was
a cabinetmaker. (AtoA)

I have a Maria Henrietta Augusta SCHMIDT b. Oct 1844 Frankfurt am Main,
DEU. Married Henry BEHRENS in Charleston, SC in St. Matthew's Lutheran
Church. 

Wondering if my Maria could be the daughter of Maria, mother of Andreas.
Looking for any onfo on SEBATIAN SCHMIDT and MARIA HENRIETTA. If they
are related this would mean that Sebastian and Maria immigrated to US
between 1844 (after birth of Maria, duaghter) and before 1854 (time of
Andreas going to Orphanage since there was no place of birth for him we
can not assume that he was born in US). 

Any info WELCOMED!

PS: The day of my son's scheduled surgery Radiologist said that
operation on son's spine would be too life threatening, so we are
waiting for 2nd opinion of Neurosurgeon. Same day (Wed) my mother had a
heart attack and in now in stable condition in Roper Hosp. -- who says I
don't need a hobbie! --
