Knauth Family References
2/20/10 : 'Schudt-Knauth Family Tree' and
'Schudt-Knauth Family Data' provided by Dr. Ernst-Rainer Schudt, Germany.
These docs are not linked for public access because they contain
confidential information for living relatives. Dr. Schudt provided a Knauth family tree and
related document with relatives dating back to
Petrus von Knauth, born 1509.
(My previous Knauth family tree only
went back as far as Abraham Knauth, b. 1739.) These documents
provided a multitude of additional German ancestors and relatives.
They have been combined into my database to create the newer updated
Knauth Family Tree that is now available on this site.
Email reference from Dr.
Schudt :
The
original family tree is handwritten und sometimes not easy to
decipher. I don’t know when and by whom it was compiled. The last
entries date from around 1880. It was in possession of my
grandfather Werner Knauth and then in the possession of my
uncle Heinz Knauth.
To
complete the information which is available to me I attach images of
the coats of arms from "von Triller" und "Knauth". They are part of
the family tree.

A Banking Retrospect
- Seventy Years of Reminiscences, by Theodore W. Knauth, 1959.
This document contains a wealth of
very interesting historical information about Knauth Family, friends
and associates, World War history and evolution of Knauth banking
firms and businesses. Because this doc is so interesting, I
extracted the table of contents to entice others to view it :
I. Franz Theodor Knauth; II. Banks and Private Bankers;
III. A Time Between Great Wars;
IV. The Foreign Exchange Business; V. Leipzig and the Saxons;
VI. New York in the 1850's;
VII. What the War Did; VIII. Wartime in Leipzig; IX. Two
Turning Points;
X. The End of the War; XI. What Happened to the Firm;
Knauth - Storrow related correspondence with Eugene Leache of
Massachusetts.
Eugene is a descendant of the Storrow
family. He provided knowledge of
the five Samuel Storrows extant in the 19th century, but the Storrow
family has very little information about Samuel "the merchant", other
than he died in Liepzig.

Since Donald has
been conducting biographical research on Susanne
for years, I
consider him the authority for information
regarding Susanne.
He has provided some
informational
references via email.
A wealth of information can be found
on the internet by searching on Susanne Knauth or Susanne Langer.
She was an American philosopher of
art, best known for her 1942 book Philosophy in a New Key.
Here are a couple of sites dedicated
to her memory and contributions.
