Honest and industrious people.

"I.I.I" means the emigrant party consisted of one adult male, one adult female, and one minor child. It's very odd for a couple in their 40s/50s to have only one (very young) child. I suspect the daughter, Anna Maria, was not baptized as an infant.

Heinrich can't have been baptized before he was born, so one or both of these dates is wrong.

4. LDS. Family Search: Internet Genealogy Service: Pedigree Resource File (index to CDs, online at FamilySearch.org). One of the submitted files says our subject emigrated in 1749, the same year as his brother, Hans Ulrich SPARR.
