Nothing that jumps out at me.Catherine Schenck was born in 1781 in Lancaster, PA, married Daniel Widaman about 1804 in Lancaster, moved to Westmoreland about 1850, died in 1867 and was buried ("Catherine Widaman") at Seanor's (St. Paul's) Lutheran Church in Hempsfield Township (not sure where that is exactly now).I know nothing about her parentage, and there is no Christian Schenck, nor Hetzer or Hennenberger in my database.I can tell you that family lore has her name spelled a myriad of different ways (Shank, Shanks, Schenk, Schenke), including the possibility she may have been married previously to a Curtis/Kurtis.
Daniel & Catherine [Schenck] Widaman's children were Barbara [Woods], Benjamin, Daniel, Harriett [Troxel], Caroline [Baum], John, Jacob, Lydia [Squires], Philip, Catherine [Baum], Joseph.Let me know if any of this helps.
