There seems to be abundant discrepancies between the genealogy available for this Casper 1745 Schrock. Others list him as son of Ulrich G. Schrag (1688-1748) and Margarete Rothlisberger (1690). Martin tree Some say Casper was the son of Niclaus Klaus 1709-1784 Schrag and Christina.

Casper 1745 was the husband of Catherine Blough, daughter of Christian II Blough with 12-13 siblings, no children listed in Evans & Post trees. Casper 1745 was the husband of Mary Stuckey in 1776, daughter of John Stuckey (1710-1786) and Ann Catherine Agner (1714-1800) acc. Stone tree. There appears to have been two records of marriages in 1776 (official record) to different women, more likely to Stuckey (and incorrectly to Marker). Casper 1745 married Mary Marker, daughter of Henry Marker, no children listed on Jan Peter Erzberger tree) and married M.Marker after 1795 acc. to Jane Curci on Genealogy.com forum. There was another marriage listed on a tree in 1782 on the Hardin Pugh Miller tree that also listed Catherine Blough as the mother of 9 (including Michael (1782) children with Casper 1745-1816. Catherine Blough was the daughter of Christian II Blaich 1715-1786 and Rosanna Steck 1740-1804 acc. Hardin Pugh Miller tree.

My guess is that Casper married Catherine Blough (b.1752-1816), then married Mary Stuckey in 1776 had about 13 children. One was Michael who fathered John who fathered Menno Simon. Casper may have had a fourth wife after Mary Marker. There was another spouse listed on Tate tree named Barbara Huntzaker, born 1743, no children listed. Another source listed a Mary Miller and an Elizabeth Miller as wifes. There is also a marriage record 1801 for Mary Zook to Casper (wrong Casper, she Married Casper of 1780}
