* Tentative insertion as a possible son of Josef b’ Moshe (Goldschmidt) Schwarzach. — and an eventual link in an alternative lineage between Mostel b’ Josef Goldschmidt Schaffhausen and his offspring
The exact relations between some of the first Generations are based upon scarce information and are often worked out here in just a reasonable assumption — [JG]

Baruch is mentioned as a goldsmith acquiring protection in Stadtschwarzach ®51
> ca 1537 [Quote] “…..one Jewish goldsmith, Baruch, does appear in East Franconia, who, on being received in Schwarzach in 1537, promised to live only by his craft.” — this passage is from an entry in “The Jewish Encyclopedia” ®52, refering to an article in “Monatsschrift” ®51 — Later I found the original text of the quoted article (Monatschrift 1880, Vol 10, october, p 463) ®51 by Heinrich Epstein, where more specifically was mentioned that Baruch’s father was already living in Schwarzach! And it seems questionable that it was exactly in the quoted year 1537 — for that matter: from the article’s context must be concluded that this fact concerns an ordinance (likely dated even before 1537), issued by the prince-bishop Konrad II von Thüngen who was reigning East-Franconia 1519-1540]:
“…..In einem Erlass vom Jahre 1537 verbietet Konrad auch das Beherbergen der Juden …… Mittlerweile werden mehrere jüd. Familien auf Lebensdauer in Schütz genommen und ihnen ein Wohnsitz angezeigt. Interessant ist die Inschutznahme eines ״Juden Baruch”. Dieser nemlich war Goldschmied von Beruf und erhielt gleich seinem Vater die Erlaubniß, in Stadtschwarzach zu wohnen. Er verspricht, nur seinem Handwerke zu leben und mit fremden Juden nicht zu verkehren. Sollte es den Bisch. gefallen, ihn aus Stadtschwarzach zu ״versetzen", so wolle er sich fügen. Ueberhaupt verspricht er unbedingten Gehorsam”.

This gives cause to assume that Baruch might be a son of Josef b’ Moshe Goldschmidt mi Schwarzach — and as well the forefather of several Goldschmidt generations with the name Baruch [e.g. Benedikt (= Baruch) Goldschmidt Kassel (d. bef 1644)]

Of course there are other possibilities — even it can’t be fully ruled out that he is the same person as the son of Josef’s brother Isaak Aschaffenburg, who was also named Baruch, but this option seems rather difficult as the Baruch b’ Isaak must have been quite young in ca 1537— [cf]

[NB: — Stadtschwartzach, nowadays usually named Schwarzach-am-Main is situated 20 km east of Würzburg, 70 km northwest of Nürnberg, 85 km south east of Aschaffenburg]
[As a side issue may be considered how the name Baruch has entered in the Goldschmidt family — seemingly via one of the unknown (NN) spouses of Mostel or his sons -- none of Mostel’s four known sons-in-law had this name]

NB — this Person Sheet represents one or more generations in a “hypothetical offspring construction” — to bridge time gaps in the lineage, between the son(s) of Mostel Goldschmidt Schaffhausen and his identified later descendants
