Full date of 12 December 1859 and location of Papenburg also given in entry 5797 in Ortsfamilienbuch der Kirchengemeinden St. Antonius und St. Michael zu Papenburg (Band II), compiled by Bernhard Norda, Sögel, page 626. Book in the collection of the Diocesan Archives of Osnabrück, and copy of entry provided to Robert M. Simon by the Diocesan Archivist, Dr. Georg Wilhelm, on 20 April 2017. Listed as Wilhelm Schütte, and parents named as Joseph Schütte and Caroline Solaro.
Month and year of birth given as December 1859 in 1900 U.S. Census for Maryland, Baltimore, E.D. 81, Sheet 16A, Line 10. Place of birth given as Germany. Enumerated as William Schuette, with wife Annie Schuette and 3 children.
Year of birth would be 1859-1860, according to age (50 years) in 1910 U.S. Census for Maryland, Baltimore, E.D. 2, Sheet 1A, Line 40. Place of birth given as Germany. Enumerated as William Schuette, with wife Anna and 4 children.
IMMIGRATION:
1900 and 1910 U.S. Censuses give year of immigration as 1875.
A record in "Baltimore Passenger and Immigration Lists, 1820-1872" lists the arrival of a Wilhelm Schuette (or Schnitte), age 16, in Baltimore in May 1876 on the Ship Leipzig, outbound from Bremen, Germany. Abstract on www.ancestry.com. Original record on National Archives Series Number M255, Roll 25, Page 3, Line 71. This is an especially suggestive record, as Wilhelm Schuette/Schnitte is traveling with Catharina Schuette/Schnitte, age 19 years, and they are listed on adjacent lines in the steerage section of the passenger manifest (which is not arranged alphabetically). The correspondence between ages on the passenger manifest and other information on their probable dates of birth make this a likely match to these individuals.

Year of marriage would be 1885-1886, according to number of years married (14 years) in 1900 U.S. Census.

FAMILY HISTORY SKETCH: The following biographical sketch was written by Agnes Simon Riesett, from oral history that had come down in the family.
"William Schuette was the youngest son of Joseph Schuette and Carolina Salerno. He was born December 12, 1859. His passage money was also paid by Agnes, but again do not know when he arrived in America. He worked for P.C. Miller who owned a grocery store at Fleet and Washington Sts. On May 27, 1886, he married a girl named Anna. She may have been the daughter of P.C. Miller. Later, he owned a joint grocery and liquor store (Anne said it was in Canton but it must have been within walking distance of 2019 Fleet St. since Anne and John were walking home from there when they found the puppy.)
"William and Anna had eight children. Victoria was born April 28, 1887. Anna B. was born May 16, 1888 and was married on September 6, 1911. Agnes was born March 11, 1890 and was married on March 16, 1916. William N. was born March 3, 1892 and died on June 26, 1892. Mary and Kunnigunda were twins. They were born on May 21, 1893 but they both died before the year was out. Joseph W. was born July 3, 1896 and was married at Camp Meade on August 6, 1918. Unfortunately, he died in the flu epidemic on October 14th of the same year. Victoria B. was born on February 8, 1901 married on June 1, 1921 and died on May 11, 1924. (All of the information in this paragraph was also supplied by Charles Gibmeyer.)"
