I have had the pleasure of viewing 20 or so rifles of William and Lincoln Shreckengost, including the one pictured here, I believe. A wonderfully unique experience...many thanks to the owners!!Also, I am sure Gary is correct as to the lineage described in the previous post...he has done a tremendous job of searching the "family" line, and the research is accurate. Thanks Gary!! Peace Out...Shreck Lovely rifle and interesting family!!

My grandmother on my father's side was a daughter of Levi. I too have done some work on the family tree. Willam's father, I believe, was John (1776-1821?), son of Henry, not a descendant of Conrod (Henry's brother). I believe the Conrad link has been an error repeated many times over. Schreckengost folks may be interested in a crude little 8 min. slide show posted by someone unkown to me that I did on my first trip to Wingeshausen, Germany. To see it, simply search for "Wingeshausen" on UTube. Last Summer I returned and met with members of all the remaining Schreckegast (German Spelling - notice absence of the "n")families in the village and stayed 3 nights in the 1805 replacement house on the very locaction where Jeremias lived. His descedents still own the property, which BTW is in more than excellent condition, as is the entire village.

I'm guessing I'm also somewhere fairly close in the family tree, as well, since I'm a "Shreckengost" and grew up in Dayton, PA. My father, Dennis, can also be added to the long line of Shreckengost gunsmiths. You’ve got some great pictures of a beautiful rifle.

I'd be interested in any genealogical information you'd care to share and I'd love to see more pictures of that rifle. I have pictures of another Schreckengost rifle somewhere if you are interested. I don't know much about antique rifles, but I heard of one Schreckengost rifle that sold at auction for $1200. Looking at your rifle I think that it has to be be worth worth more than that.
