PREFACE The publication of the “Genealogical Record of The Schwenkf elders” in 1879 was a pioneer work. The question has often been asked — What were the motives that led the Schwenkfelders to undertake such a unique piece of work? — for it is not known that the descendants of any other group of religious refugees who migrated to Pennsylvania undertook a similar task. It is difficult to describe the motives that led the Schwenkfelders of fifty years ago to engage in such an undertaking. The fact that there have always been among the Schwenkfelders a few men and women who had the foresight to put on paper, either in the form of diaries or in chronological records, the main facts pertaining to the history of this unique group of people, is worthy of notice. Not only were diaries kept, as is explained in the pages of this book, but birth, marriage and death records of the adherents of the denomination were faithfully recorded by one or more of the emigrants. Had it not been for these faithful diarists and chroniclers, the complete accounts of the various phases of the early Schwenkfelder activities found in this book, would not have been possible. From the minutes of the “Schwenkfelder Society,” we learn that at various times after the organization of the body in 1782, a proposal to publish a more complete list of the writings of Caspar von Schwenckfeld, together with the main facts of the history of the body of people called “Schwenk¬ felders” than had yet appeared, had been under consideration. Prior to this time the only publication of any prominence regarding the Schwenkfelders was the “Erlauterung fur Herrn Caspar Schwenckfeld und die zugethanen seiner Lehre,” written by Rev. Christopher Schultz in 1771, which is a vindication of Schwenckfeld and his adherents, with a brief history of their wanderings up to 1740, together with a summary of their confession of faith. A short time prior to 1768, several copies of the “Preussische Helden Staats und lebens Gescliichte Friedrich II,” printed in Tubingen in 1760, had come into the hands of the Schwenkfelders in Pennsyl¬ vania. This publication reminded them of the royal invitation given them in 1742 by Frederick the Great to return to their estates in Silesia and to enjoy religious liberty. A meeting was therefore called in “Shippach” (Salford, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and the “Fathers” decided to acquaint the world with the truth concerning their doctrine and history, the result of which was the publication of the “Erlauterung.” (See The Schwenkf eldian, Vol. V, p. 5.) At the fall Conference of the “Schwenkfelder Society” in Worcester, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, held on October 30, 1875, letters were read from Robert Barclay of England, and Christopher Heydrick of Venango County, Pennsylvania, asking for information regarding the doctrines of Schwenckfeld, and the religious principles and practices of the congregation in America as well as historical accounts of the Schwenkfelders. A committee consisting of Rev. Joshua Schultz, Daniel S. Schultz, and Rev. William Schultz of the Upper District; Samuel Anders, Rev. William S. Anders, and William A. Yeakle of the Lower District was appointed to answer these requests. The labors of this committee naturally turned the attention of their constituents to the subject of genealogy, and the result was the publication in 1879 of the pioneer work, “The Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders.” This printing of the material collected by the various chroniclers of the Schwenkfelders must have aroused and awakened a desire for further investigation and study, as ten years afterwards in 1889, at the fall conference of the Church, held in Towamencin, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a resolution was passed to the effect that a “Family Register” of the members of the Society and their descendants should be made, or be continued from the date where the Genealogical Record “(which we have in our possession)” ends. It was also decided that suitable persons should be appointed to keep and continue such a record. As a result of this action Registrars were appointed in each District to keep records of births, marriages and deaths of members of the congregation. But there was a strong desire among many of the members to have these records published, and at various times movements were started and committees appointed to devise ways and means to bring about the revision of the first Record. At the Ivriebel Family Reunion in 1905, a resolution was adopted that a Committee be appointed to prepare a new edition of the “Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders,” and in 1906 the Executive Committee sent out circulars giving reasons for the publication of a new edition. The committee appointed comprised the following: Howard W. Kriebel, Elmer K. Schultz, Jesse H. Snyder, Jr., xiii Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families George K. Brecht, Wesley B. Beyer, Rev. William S. Anders, and Frank A. Hartranft. But due to a lack of sufficient encouragement in response to the circulars sent out, nothing came of the movement. On February 22, 1912, a self-appointed committee met in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and likewise discussed plans for collecting statistics to be used in the publication of a revised edition of “The Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders.” A circular asking for genealogical information was sent to various heads of families, but no provision was made for financing the project nor for editing the material gathered. The late Judge Christopher Heydrick of Franklin, Pennsylvania, one of the three original promo¬ ters of the “Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders” of 1879 (the other two being the late Gen. John F. Hartranft and the late Senator William A. Yeakle) maintained his interest in the genealogy of the Schwenkfelders up to the time of his death in 1914. In his conversation with the members of the Schwenkfelder Church he repeatedly urged the compilation of a new Genealogy of this people. Originally the promoters of the first Genealogical Record contemplated the translation and publication of valuable historical documents as part of the general program of the Record, but the plan was aban¬ doned; hence Judge Heydrick was exceedingly anxious that the new edition should contain as full an account of the history of the Schwenkfelders as it was possible to obtain. In a letter written by Judge Heydrick just four days before his death, to a prominent Schwenkfelder he again made the statement that he was so fond of quoting, “I shall never forget that the late Senator Yeakle told me that in his researches preparatory to the publication of the Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders he had not heard of a single descendant of the immigrant Schwenkfelders of 1734 who had been convicted or even suspected of an immoral act. Can not something now be done to get the largest practical number of the now living descendants of the immigrant Schwenkfelders acquainted with one another and with the history of their ancestors? I beg leave to suggest that the proposed revision of the Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders be made more historical than was heretofore thought of.” Furthermore one of the last requests made by Judge Heydrick of his family was to urge the Schwenkfelders to revise the “Genealogical Record.” As a direct result of this request, the General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church held at Palm, Pennsylvania, October 17, 1914, passed a resolution that “the matter of revising the Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders be referred to the Board of Publication with power to act.” At the next meeting of the Conference another resolution was adopted authorizing the Board of Publication to devise means for publishing such a revised edition “without interfering with the financing of the ‘Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum’.” Acting on this resolution the Board of Publication referred the matter to the Committee on Publication which was to have sole charge of formulating plans to comply with the resolutions passed by the General Conference. In order to defray the cost of the project, the Committee decided to secure a sufficient number of guarantors to underwrite the cost of collecting and editing the family records. By June, 1917, pledges to the amount of $2,500 were secured, whereupon the project was deputized to a sub-committee composed of representatives of the guarantors to be known as the “Publishing Com¬ mittee” which was to have sole charge of collecting the family data, the editing of the same, and the distribution of the books when the work was completed. At a joint meeting of the guarantors and the Board of Publication held in Norristown, Pennsyl¬ vania, the following were selected as the “Publishing Committee:” Elmer K. Schultz, Wayne C. Meschter, and Samuel K. Brecht. This committee met in Philadelphia soon after and organized with Elmer K. Schultz, as chairman; Samuel K. Brecht, as Secretary and Editor; and Wayne C. Meschter, Treasurer. One of the first acts of the Committee was to increase the guaranty fund to $3,000. Samuel Yeakle and Dr. J. E. B. Buckenham were later added to the membership of the Committee. The Editor immediately started assembling family records, taking over those already collected by the self-appointed committee mentioned above. The launching of such a project soon after the United States entered upon the World War was a bold undertaking as later events proved. The Editor had not been engaged in his work many months before it was seen that the cost of assembling and editing the family data would exceed the $3,000 pledged, if the various clues of family relationships were to be carried out to their fullest extent. The Publishing Committee instructed him to proceed along the lines already outlined and to complete the book as soon as possible, with the assurance that the necessary funds for defraying the cost would be provided. The ravages of the World War and the consequent unsettled conditions interfered very seriously with the collection of family records, and also vastly increased the cost of compiling the data so that the sum of $10,000 was spent in compiling and editing the material before it was ready for the printer. xiv Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families It might be well to state that this sum does not include the cost of the paper, printing, binding and distribution of the books, nor any editorial compensation. The data in connection with the various families has been compiled from the most reliable sources. Careful searches were made of court records, cemeteries, family Bibles, church records and other historical documents, while personal interviews were had whenever possible. In general the data was recorded as given, and when con¬ flicting information was obtained from different individuals, an effort was made to secure corroborative data before it was inserted. The reader will find statements in the various families indicating that the records were not verified, or that complete information was unobtainable. In general when no other statement is made, the data was obtained from some immediate member of the family, or it was taken from the “Genealogical Record” of 1879. An effort was made to revise the data to July, 1917, in those families whose records were obtained before that time, and in all other cases the information was recorded as of the time received by the Editor. However, many families took pains to keep the Editor informed of any changes in their records, and these facts have been inserted, in some cases up to December, 1922. The many variations in the spelling of the family name by members of the same family have been a cause of much trouble to the Editor. He has been obliged to accept the spelling given on the family record blanks, and the reader will notice many cases where the spelling of the family name was changed by the children, or by brothers and sisters. In some instances parents and children do not agree as to dates of birth, death, and marriage of members of their own family. Likewise the examination of tombstones and family Bibles also occasionally produces conflicting data. . Special attention is called to the illustrations appearing in the book, many of which were taken especially for this publication. With the kind assistance of Dr. E. E. S. Johnson, it has been possible to include many European views illustrating typical scenes in the countries from which the immigrant Schwenkfelders fled. These were fortunately secured before the outbreak of the World War. The Publishing Committee decided that with the exception of the ministry or groups of individuals illustrating certain phases of Schwenkfelder activities, photographs of living individuals should not be included in this publication. This will account for the omission of many portraits that otherwise would have been included, and the extreme modesty that has characterized most of the Schwenkfelders and their descendants has made it difficult to secure photographs to illustrate the various family groups. The Chapters on the “Homes and Burial Places,” and “The Migrations of the Schwenkfelders” were prepared in large part by Howard Wiegner Kriebel who searched the deed books and collected the data for the plates “A to H” showing the location of the homes of the immigrant Schwenkfelders. These plates were made from drawings to scale from the abstracts of the deeds made by Mr. Kriebel. Most of the field work necessary to secure the data was also done by Mr. Kriebel who visited many cemeteries and copied the tombstone inscriptions of Schwenkfelder descendants. Deed books, wills, and administration books were carefully searched in order to establish connections between various families. For more than thirty years Mr. Kriebel had been gathering material pertaining to the history of the Schwenkfelders and their descendants. He also made an intensive study of the immigrant lists to establish family connections, and all this material was placed at the disposal of the Editor, for which Mr. Kriebel deserves the gratitude of the Editor as well as of the readers. Without Mr. Kriebel’s co-operation it would not have been possible to secure much of the information included in this book. The system of numbering the immigrants and the various families was also devised by Mr. Kriebel, and only slight modification was necessary to make the plan sufficiently flexible to adapt it to the manner in which it is used. [See “Explanations and Abbreviations.”] A study of the system of family numbering together with the scheme of cross references will appeal to the reader who is desirous of tracing his family connections. It is impossible to list separately the many kind correspondents who furnished data for this book. Where no source is given, it may generally be credited to some member of the family interested. In addition to those mentioned in the body of the book as having furnished data, the following must also be mentioned: John Miller Rinewalt, Mount Carroll, Ill.; Daniel Urffer, Pottstown, Pa.; Charles Jones, German¬ town, Pa.; George Sheppard, Penn Yan, N. Y.; Wesley K. Schultz, Hereford, Pa.; Charles Kriebel, Detroit, Mich.; Gaius M. Brumbaugh, M.D., Washington, D. C.; G. Lester Hartranft, Montgomery, Pa.; William H. Anders, Lansdale, Pa.; George S. Kratz, Lansdale, Pa., R. D.; and many others. xv Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families To Elmer Ellsworth S. Johnson, Pli. D., who searched the archives and church books of Silesia, and Saxony with the assistance of Selina Gerhard Schultz, the Editor is indebted for a large amount of data concerning the Schwenkf elders before their migration to Pennsylvania. Dr. Johnson has collected a vast amount of information concerning the Schwenkfelders in Europe prior to their migration, which he contemplates publishing in book form in the near future. He has traced some family lines back to the 14th century. In view of this future publication the Editor made no effort to trace the ancestry prior to the migration. Mr. Herbert Heebner Smith gave many valuable suggestions regarding the arrangement of title pages and illustrations. To Prof. H. H. Shenk, custodian of the Public Records, Harrisburg, Pa., the Editor is indebted for many photostats of manuscripts that are preserved in the State Library. Acknowledgment is also due Mr. Ernest Spofford, Assistant Librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, for many valuable suggestions, and for kindness shown the Editor and his associates while searching the Archives of the Historical Society. The readers owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. James M. Anders who took sufficient time from his manifold duties to write the scholarly introduction to this book. Credit is due Dr. O. S. Kriebel, Principal of Perkiomen School and Chairman of the Publication Committee of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church for the actual undertaking of the publication of this book. His optimism and enthusiasm were the factors that led the Editor to assume the responsibility of editing the material in connection with his other duties. The Editor wishes to express his gratitude to Miss Helen Shultz, who supervised the collection and codification of most of the family records and assisted in the editing of the same, and who read the proof of the entire book in addition to supervising the making of the Index. In the final analysis the guarantors who advanced the funds for collecting the data and preparing it for the printer deserve the greatest credit for their faith in the enterprise and their funds that made this book possible. In addition to the typographical errors that appear in the book, the Editor will be grateful to be informed of any errors of fact that are found on its pages. SAMUEL K. BRECHT, Editor. The Publishing Committee sends this book out with the hope that all who advanced money to pay the expenses of compiling this Genealogy are well repaid by the rich content of hitherto unpub¬ lished, and in many cases unknown, documents. The printing of historical data as well as of family records for the benefit of posterity is the duty of every generation, but the publication of the genealogy of a group of religious refugees is unique, and the reader will learn that the Schwenkfelders were in many ways a unique people. The Committee expresses its gratitude to all advance subscribers for the book whose deposits helped to pay the printer’s bills as they became due, and it is their hope that they will assist in a wide distribution of the book among the families whose records are included within its pages. For the kind and continued co-operation of Rand McNally & Company, the printers of this Genealogical Record, the Committee is especially grateful. The making of a book of such large pro¬ portions embodying the various fonts of type required by the Editor, presented many difficulties which were all happily overcome, and the Editor and the other members of the Publishing Committee desire to record their appreciation of the many courtesies extended them by the printers.

XVI Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families EXPLANATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS Throughout this genealogy a system of family-numbering has been employed by means of which the line of descent of every family can be traced together with the respective immigrant Schwenkfelder ancestor of each one. All emigrants have been numbered consecutively: thus, Melchior Kriebel is number “25” on the emigrant list, and hence the family number “[25]” has been assigned to him. Furthermore, all the married male descendants of Melchior Kriebel will have the key number “25” preceding their own individual family number: for example, the family number of David Kriebel is “[25-5],” which means that he is descended from emigrant “25,” who is Melchior Kriebel, and that the David Kriebel family is the fifth family recorded in line of descent from Melchior Kriebel. When a descendant marries more than once, there is a family number for each marriage: David Kriebel married twice, and hence his first family record has the number “[25-5a],” while the number “[25-5b]” is assigned to the family of his second marriage. This likewise applies to several emigrants: Balzer Heydrick, who was emi¬ grant “52,” was married twice, and therefore has the two family numbers of “[52a]” and “[52b].” In the case of the marriage of a female descendant, her family takes the family number of her husband, providing the latter is himself of Schwenkfelder origin. For example, Susanna Kriebel, a daughter of George Kriebel whose family is “[25-3],” married Christopher Yeakle, a Schwenkfelder descendant; the family number, therefore, that is assigned to Susanna Kriebel Yeakle is that of her husband, or “[160-3].” However, when a female descendant marries a man who is not of Schwenkfelder blood, she retains her own emigrant ancestral number, just as the male descendant does. Thus, Anna Schultz, a daughter of Melchior Schultz whose family is “[7-2],” married Adam Hillegass, who was a non-Schwenkf elder; her family number therefore is “[7-9].” All numbers preceded by the capital letter “E” are emigrant numbers and will be found only after the name of an emigrant. Numbers preceding a name are in all cases Family numbers: for example, “[25-3] GEORGE KRIEBEL [E 99], . s Caspar and Susanna (Wiegner) Kriebel [25-1]” means that the individual number of the George Kriebel family is “[25-3]”; that George Kriebel himself was the ninety-ninth emigrant on the list; and that the number of his parents’ family is [25-1], by reference to which record all genealogical facts concerning his father, mother, brothers and sisters can be ascertained. After the family groups had all been numbered a large amount of additional information was obtained concerning some of the families. In order to include this data and have the families inserted in their proper sequence, the system of decimal numbers was introduced; for example, “[21-332.4]” is the number assigned to the record of John Hoffman. The reader will observe that married children only have family numbers in this book, as the scheme employed is one of family numbering instead of the usual method of numbering each child in a family. By this plan of numbering the reader may readily trace the ancestry of any Schwenk¬ felder descendant in the book. Furthermore, at the end of the book will be found the index in which the names of all parents and children recorded in the book are listed together with the page on which they appear. Upon a cursory glance through the genealogical part of the book, the reader will discover that one or both of the names of the parents of a family have been set in bold-face capital letters. This device is employed to designate the parents of Schwenkfelder origin, while light-face capital letters have been used to show the name of the parent of non-Schwenkfelder descent. Thus at a glance the reader can tell whether the heads of a family are both Schwenkfelder descendants or not. It may be well to explain also that the genealogy has been arranged in “chapters”; for instance, all families having the key number “[25]” follow in order after the emigrant family whose number is “[25],” or that of Melchior Kriebel. And the chapters themselves are arranged in order according to the family number of the respective emigrant heads — the one with the lowest number appearing first in the book. In the case of varying dates, both are given with one of them enclosed in parentheses; when there is doubt as to a date, a question mark, enclosed in parentheses, follows the date. xvii Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families Besides the common and accepted abbreviations, which may be found in any dictionary, the following additional abbreviations have been used in this book: A.

The preparation and publication of the Revised Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders was a most commendable undertaking. To bring to light, record and preserve the genealogy of families and individuals, much of it from the dust of forgetfulness, will prove to be a means of disseminating welcome information to the living and future generations; but more than this, it will increase sympathy and friendliness between persons who are connected by ties of blood, religion, and humanity. Recogniz¬ ing the significance of this work, it follows that the committee authorized to perform the arduous task of revising and amplifying our genealogical knowledge of the Schwenkfelders by proving up descent, acted with wise enthusiasm and a fine discrimination. The performance of a service so colossal and confessedly difficult as the tracing of a genealogical record of a denomination, even though small, is only possible with persons specially trained and imbued with the spirit of sacrifice. Moreover, the successful consummation of the stupendous task by the author, Prof. S. K. Brecht, is worthy of all commendation, and the undivided support of the entire body of descendants of the immigrant Schwenkfelders. Information such as this volume contains should ever have a lively interest for the members of a sect, however small, and for all who have descended from those who shaped its previous course in education, religion and in civic and social morality. True it is that the modern age is bending its energies toward the future, so that few care to look back at the past. While this is a correct observation of history in general, in the case of those antecedents who are related by the bonds of blood and bold adventure, it would be regrettable in the extreme to permit the present to get out of touch with them and their affairs — economic, social and religious. The editor of this work has requested me to contribute an introductory chapter of a general character that will set forth the main historic features and the present social and economic status and activities of the Schwenkfelder denomination. I accepted, not because of any specialized knowl¬ edge bearing on the subject, but because of my desire to render tribute to the social, moral, and spiritual traditions to which I owe more than I dare hope to repay. I shall not attempt to describe the great changes and wonderful progress of American life due to new discoveries and inventions during the period under review. Again, the historic sketch of Caspar von Schwenkfeld and of the sect which bears his name and their many trials before emigrating to Pennsylvania, as well as, for more than a century after settling on our shores, by C. Heydrick, Esq., is a true and praiseworthy account, so that certain aspects of the earlier narrative relating to this small band, in particular all that pertains to the pre-emigration period, need not be recounted here. My task it is to describe the life, events, and achievements of the Schwenkfelders with especial emphasis upon those of more recent times with the desire and hope that by this means we shall be better tempered and prepared to face, and penetrate into, the future. Whilst historic reviews such as this undertaking purports to be, usually afford the reader a look at great personages and events, to the present and future generations — to us — a brief resume of the economic interests and customs, as well as religious and social activities of the common stock of Schwenkfelders, is in my view, of far greater and more commanding interest and importance. It is, however, fitting to pause at the outset to consider briefly the influences which the ideals and principles of the earlier generations of Schwenkfelders wielded with respect to civic and, more im¬ portantly still, religious liberty, and their effect upon the progress and development of the communities in which they resided. It might be asked pertinently are there to be found, at this writing, those persons who would make the great material sacrifices, who would risk their all on account of their religious convictions, as did those who were transported to America by the now historic ship, the St. Andrew? To them the migration to the western hemisphere meant a decided loss of comforts, of means, and the severance of ties, which doubtless caused, in many cases at least, a painful wrench of the heart. On the other hand, it resulted in a gain of new satisfactions, chief among which was that of absolute religious freedom, the enjoyment of the free and democratic spirit of America. The vision of the immigrant fathers abides to challenge their children of to-day. It is the earnest hope and belief of the writer that salutary lessons may be drawn from a resume of the part played as useful citizens, and the instrumentalities employed, by this little band of church 1 2 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families men and women in the past and present. In the first place, it will be easily possible to indicate that they can point with pride to the conduct and detailed work of their churches, their educational institu¬ tions and other agencies, as well as to the wider relations of the denomination to the public welfare and the state, although owing to the exigencies of time and space, the salient facts only can be given in compact form here. It is clear that whilst the original nucleus of 184 souls who first put foot upon American soil in 1734 were fixed in their determination to escape religious persecution, to reach a land of civil and spiritual liberty, they had no further aspirations which were peculiarly and entirely their own. In this connection it is interesting to recall the fact that the struggle on this continent for self-government had already begun and an increasing divergence between England and the colonies had already set in, at the time of the chief migration of the Schwenkfelders to America, although the American Revolution, speaking historically, did not begin until 1769; so that soon after setting foot on free soil, they were face to face with a conflict of far reaching historic importance and as the result of which, the indepen¬ dence of the colonial states was secured. Moreover, the fact that upon their arrival in this country, Indian attacks all along the line of the colonies were growing more terrible and that these were not quelled until 1763, when with the Peace of Paris the brilliant career of France as an American power was over, should be recollected. It may be truly said that it was faith in God, who for them was an ever present reality, which distinguished them above all else. Without doubt, all had belonged to civilized and somewhat cultured communities at home and in many ways their dominating ideas of life resembled those of the people with whom they established social and commercial relationships in this western hemisphere, and to whom they were gradually bound by bonds of human interest and speech. In this connection the following statement by the late Governor Pennypacker is significant: “The Schwenkfelders who emigrated in a body to Pennsylvania were the most intelligent group of people who came to America in the colonial period.” They were not then, nor have they since, been spurred by the passion for politics, and whilst they abhorred war, were by no means pacifists. Neither have they been given to society life, nor dissipated their energies and means in the pursuit of pleasure, and above all, sports. On the other hand, the dominating principle of their lives was of deep spiritual origin, although quite industrious and energetic in the pursuit of gain, without the slightest show of the spirit of carelessness and ease. Moreover, from the moment that their freedom from oppression was assured, there never was an hour that they did not recognize and appreciate their newly-found privileges, as evidenced by the institution of an annual celebration of so-called “Gedachtniss Tag,” which has been observed without interruption until the present day. Thus each year a new allegiance is given to the ideals and sense of profound gratitude exemplified by the immigrant Schwenkfelders. That the popularity of these unique yearly meetings of fellowship, inspiration and undying gratitude has been steadily increasing, is undoubted. The writer is glad to note the steady decline of the tendency to clamor against the oppression suffered by those who actuated by noble impulses emigrated to a land of unbounded liberty on the one hand, and a new emphasis upon the use to be made of what they purchased by their sacrifices for their successors — for us — on the other. The majority of this small original group of immigrants settled in the central and upper portions of Montgomery County, as well as Lehigh, Berks and Bucks Counties, of Pennsylvania. Here they led most respectable lives and their material interests soon became for a considerable period of time, more or less unified, drawn together as they were, by the ties of family and gratitude. Later on, like other eastern people (after the war of the Revolution) they shared in the process of unifying the nation through inter-state migration. For example, in 1791 David Wagener, a prosperous farmer and land owner, residing in Montgomery County, removed his family to a Friend’s Settlement on the west bank of Seneca Lake, there becoming a part owner of a grist mill. Five years later he bought the land on which the village of Penn Yan was founded by his son, Abraham, in the year 1800. This has been a thrifty, rapidly-growing village, and to Abraham Wagener had been accorded the distinction of being elected the first President of the Board of Trustees upon its incorporation in April, 1833, and also the privilege of naming the village streets when they were first opened. Not a few Schwenkfelders and their descendants have broken away from the central nucleus located in Pennsylvania, scattering to many different States of the Union. Before coming to this country, the Schwenkfelders were for the most part agriculturists, hence they naturally chose husbandry as their chief calling upon reaching these shores, clearing and cul¬ tivating the earth with great assiduity. Whilst they succeeded during these earlier years of their sojourn in a new and promising environment to add to their originally impoverished condition, and whilst their wants and particular needs grew simultaneously, it may be justly claimed that they lived Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 3 honestly and simply, the while showing a marked degree of thrift and the highest regard for law and order — the guardian of their precious liberty. With few exceptions, the Schwenkfelders for generations were land-owners, to whom in the opinion of certain political economists, go all the advantages gained by progress. At all events, the direct and natural result of the conditions they were striving for, was improvement in the material state of all within their influence. They were, in truth, children of the soil, and this was the storehouse upon which they drew; more than this, their dependence upon land was the principal factor in the determina¬ tion of their social, intellectual and moral condition, since it amply supplied their main wants and desires. Here reference should be made to the fact that as a class they gave evidence of marked industry, frugality and intelligence. As individual farmers, the head of the family obtained in addition to hired labor, the assistance of his- wife and children. This fact, likewise decidedly aided their material progress. The gift of this primitive folk to the nameless mass, the middle class of society, which forms the tested foundation of our American institutions, was the highly creditable way in which they performed the task committed to them by destiny. Moreover, their ideals were of an enduring character and to us falls the duty of securing their intact preservation. As successful agriculturists they contributed their full share to a calling which has ever been held to be first in point of practical importance, and therefore to economic progress, during several genera¬ tions. True it is that many of these industrious men and women were, however, an integral part of that practical spirit, which has ever won above arts and letters, science, or great historic personages. Indeed, we must to-day render thanks for the role played by our ancestors, near and remote, and for the immense service they rendered, judged by proper standards, to the local community and the state. The history of the descendants of the immigrant Schwenkfelders of the last century, however, comprehends the records of not a few men who in various localities of our own and other states of the union, and in equally varied fields of endeavor, have reflected lustre upon themselves and their ante¬ cedents alike {vide infra). The Schwenkfelders did not elect to elude their social and charitable obligations, and after the custom of the times, gave both financial aid and personal service to the public welfare. Obviously, during the colonial period the time was far distant when it could be hoped to establish relationships that could allow the good of the whole to become the ruling element in the community. Then as now, approbation of one’s fellowmen and the massing of wealth were proportional, but the Schwenkfelders were not without that essential principle which would look to the good of humanity. It would not be possible to show that opportunities for social enjoyments were abundant, and that the lives of all were not more or less sordid owing to a lack of social outlets, even among families in the most comfortable circumstances. On the other hand, it is a just observation that there existed a limited, social intercourse consisting for the most part of an inter-visitation between families, most commonly either “week end” visits, or on the Sabbath day following the morning church services. Their observance of the Sabbath, however, was rigid and as has been said of that of the Pilgrim Fathers, involved a recognition of the fact that the “right of Sabbath rest for one depends upon a law of Sabbath rest for all.” Doubtless, the personal freedom in the civic and moral realms, which the earlier Schwenkfelders enjoyed gave encouragement to and opportunity for, the cultivation of the primitive virtues. At a later date, freedom from actual wants, showed itself in mental and moral improvement, as well as in thrift and greater average intelligence. Among the Schwenkfelders increasing skill, prudence and knowledge were most probably not so much attributed to the common school, the newspaper and their meagre libraries, as to a better material condition in general. Their dress down to a comparatively recent period, was rigidly plain; bonnets were worn by the women and broad-brimmed stiff hats by the men. Personal decoration by means of jewels was prac¬ tically unknown, if we except ear-rings of a simple pattern. Neatness and cleanliness of person and wearing apparel, however, were decidedly in evidence. In their household were found the national spirit and traditions of a noble past, but they spoke a different language — called “Pennsylvania Ger¬ man” up to half a century ago. The Schwenkfelders for upwards of a century after their arrival in this country opposed any matrimonial alliance of either sons or daughters with those of the parents of other denominations with the effect that the evil results of consanguinity became evident in certain families. More recently, however, this narrowness of spirit with its smoldering discontent has given way to a more natural and progressive state of things in the realm of social and individual moral responsibility to the end that a greater justice was brought to light and a healthier and happier group of people has been evolved. 4 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families It is worthy of note that the Schwenkf elders can claim to have been an integral part of the basic national stock and also that they participated in a small way in the process of assimilation of new¬ comers including the foreign-born. Of the majority of this small sect (now numbering all told 1350 souls) for a century and a half after settling in this country, it might be said they lived a quiet, useful country life, were good neighbors, good American citizens, chiefly interested in agriculture, domestic problems, religion, education and the pursuit of reading. With the passing of time, however, they helped to swell the tide that has brought about marked urban concentration. We should be grateful to those ancestral traditions whose encircling glory we of the present day, in common with our predecessors, have inherited. The earlier forbears who settled this country have long rested in their graves and none there be that remember them, but one would be lacking in percep¬ tion and appreciation, who did not discern that their piety, influence and example are yet a potent force in the community in which they labored with fruitful results. This small band has been privileged to observe and had their spirits touched by many wars of democracy against despotic autocracy since their arrival in this country. In 1775 they saw the new western hemisphere democracy born to the modern world; they witnessed the Revolutionary War which settled for all time the independence of these United States of America and the Civil War which completely banished slavery from this hemisphere, as well as the recent great conflict, which it is hoped, will settle for all time the question of military autocratic domination of the world. But though the Schwenkfelders never approved of the old methods of settling international dis¬ putes by war, when it became indispensably necessary for America to accept gauge of battle in order to crush a natural foe to liberty, they displayed loyalty, heroism and patriotism by their active participa¬ tion both at home and in the field, while some made the supreme sacrifice. Males of military age proved themselves to be “valiant men, able to bear the buckler and the sword.” The Schwenkfelders, however, have ever been champions of peace and now that the great war-ogre has been curbed, they are, with the song of gratitude in their hearts, hoping for the realization of an organized, world-wide democ¬ racy that will insure future peace by its inherent moral force. Among the more strictly private functions of the Schwenkfelders, as a denomination, were the work and associated activities of their educational and religious institutions. It is natural that in addition to the union of material interests, of which mention has been made above, there should be formed a moral, intellectual and spiritual unity. For example, it was not difficult to amalgamate their ideals and sentiments, as well as doctrines and beliefs. On the other hand, no effort to govern the social, moral or economic life of the community was made, and a no more law-abiding body of citizens could have been found. From an economic aspect the interests of the Schwenkfelders did not differ to any extent from those of other sects among whom they lived; from the political angle, however, the majority were “whigs,” while later upon its birth they joined the republican party almost without exception. As stated above, the earlier generations of Schwenkfelders had no political aspirations, but in recent times not a few have held important local public positions. The intellectual history of the Schwenkfelders reveals that many of the original small company were well-educated, and there was a general sentiment among all in favor of advanced mental training. Indeed, it is an authenticated fact that the Schwenkfelders early established first-class schools in Pennsylvania, although in a modified and rudimentary form. [Vide Historical Sketch, p. 15.] Here we see the implantation of the seeds of a greater freedom and an intellectual advancement, the narrow traditionalism and puritanism of their day and generation notwithstanding. Moreover, by the same token they were conforming to the law, generally appreciated at the present, that what you would have appear in the mature generation you must put into the curricula of our public and secondary schools. To understand the public spirit of these, our pioneers, in matters? educational and spiritual, there would be no better way, if time and space permitted, than to study the life, influence and activities of such a man as Christopher Schultz, who represented them most admirably. It can only be added that he being possessed of many good qualities both of heart and mind exerted a great force in the denomination as well as the state, and assumed naturally a leading role, preparing a system of church government which was adopted on the 17th of August, 1782, the while stimulating the zeal and intelli¬ gence of his contemporaries. Without doubt, he had beside him many willing and powerful helpers, notably the Revs. George Weiss, Balthasar Heebner and Balthasar Hoffman. In not a few instances, individual talents forced their way into prominence among the earlier descendants of this group of immigrants. These and other men belonging to this sect at different later periods of time realized that only by placing themselves in direct contact with the world was it possible to develop their talents in a fuller degree. No Schwenkfelder, however, received the advan¬ tages of college or university training until a comparatively recent date, but at present writing, without Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 5 doubt the percentage of young men identified with this denomination who are embracing the benefits of a liberal education, is higher than that of any other sect. Whilst the need for education is fully appreciated by the Schwenkfelder Church, it must be recollected that the knowledge gained must be assimilated, if we would avoid the creation of a false valuation in the minds of the student as to the role he will play in the world. It has been well said that the acquisition of facts unassimilated, necessitates bringing theory and practice closer together. Brief reference should be made here to a well-known educational institution, Perkiomen School for Boys, which was founded in 1875 by Rev. C. S. Wieand under the title, Perkiomen Seminary. In 1892, it became the property of the Schwenkfelder church and Dr. O. S. Kriebel(the present incumbent) was made Principal. The growth of this institution has been steady, and healthy; its beneficent influence and effectiveness, as a school to prepare boys for colleges and universities, as well as the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, are beyond question. The early success of Perkiomen School for Boys may be said to have been the turning-point where the rather stern, gloomy influences pre¬ vailing, were tempered by scholarship and by evidences of healthful relaxation as well as a lessening of the shadows around their lives and a widening of the horizon. This institution has further served to infuse a new spirit of good taste and refinement, not only into the student-body, but into the community and church as well. Christianity in the Schwenkfelder Church for more than a century after its inception in this country consisted of religious and moral training only, without helpful and voluntary agencies, which came into being at a much later date, although the same thing might be said of other denominations at that day. Humanitarianism, which is the mode of the present day, and in whose ranks are to be found practically the entire membership of the denomination at this writing, was then hazy and lacking in zeal for want of organization. There was no opportunity given by which intelligent and zealous laymen could actively assist in the moral and religious quality of the membership; no armed organizational force to carry on social service duties, so much needed to encourage and guide the more helpless and dependent classes. So-called “Kinderlehr,” however, was carried on as an unique and solemn religious custom and with far reaching moral and spiritual benefits. It was, on the whole, a period of gospel sermons with no indications of an abandonment of religion and certain moral sanctions so obvious at present throughout the Protestant world. They truly be¬ lieved in the ultimate supremacy of the spiritual values and we of to-day should consider whether or not some of that spiritual vitality which characterized our church in earlier days has been lost. Who will sound the world note of warning so much needed by all denominations at the present day? The forms of worship and the meeting houses were primitive, and the souls of the worshipers received and accepted every impression to which they were subjected, but they were not wholly without prejudice. It was not until the year 1790 that the first church edifice was erected in what had been designated as the “Upper District,” in contradistinction to the “Lower District,” for administra¬ tive conveniences. Prior to this time, divine services had been held at private residences, following the custom which had been established in the Fatherland. The clergy was until a comparatively recent period self-educated, being chosen from among the lay members of the church by ballot. Their discourses, however, showed them to be true servants of the Master and were listened to with manifest sympathy and benefit, while not a few inculcated the ideas of civic and religious duties with much power. The singing until a time easily within human recollection was entirely congregational; that is to say without the aid of either choir or instrumental music. Unfortunately, it was in consequence of the narrowness and unprogressiveness of the de¬ nomination as an organized body that many members from time to time, forsook the religion of their fathers and identified themselves with other more progressive churches. In this connection, mention should be made of the fact that the observance of the holy sacraments was first instituted in the year 1877 at the home of Anthony K. Heebner, Worcester, Pennsylvania. It has been obvious that the adoption of this universally recognized religious ceremonial requirement witnessed the infusion of a new and broader spirit in the entire denomination and one more in harmony with the real spiritual needs of mankind. The quarter of a century last passed, however, has brought this sect forward far beyond the hopes and expectations of those who had been long advocating a change to more advanced methods and an enlargement of the sphere of church activity. For example the membership had grown from 305 in 1895 to 635 in 1903, and 1280 in 1919. It will be observed from these figures that the denomination has more than quadrupled itself in the quarter of a century last passed. Mention should be made of the deep interest in more recent years of the Schwenkfelders in Christian Missions, both at home and abroad. At home, a new-born mission was first announced at Philadelphia in 1895, ten years later at Norristown (1905) and at Lansdale in 1916, the two first- 6 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families named enterprises having since become successful church organizations, while the last-named is still a flourishing mission church. Abroad, a sister with a true missionary spirit, Miss Flora Heebner, has been the representative of this church in Taiku, China, since 1904, where she is carrying on a splendid work with well-directed effort in various branches of missionary activity. Great and commendable as were the sacrifices made by the small band of Schwenkfelders, who emigrated to our shores, as has been observed above, to realize that a member of the nobility not lacking in imperial qualities should abandon his high station, should simplify himself, as it were, and assume the role of an ardent Christian reformer as did Casper von Schwenkfeld, was an even greater surrender of earthly means, comforts and ties. The fact therefore that the Publication Board of the Schwenk¬ felder Church has been glad to share the burden equally with Hartford Theological Seminary in publishing the so-called Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum — a stupendous work in 17 volumes (6 of which have already appeared), which contains the theology and writings of this world-famed reformer, need excite no surprise. At first, edited by Dr. Chester David Hartranft, the noted biblical scholar and historian, since his demise which occurred in 1914, Dr. E. E. S. Johnson, who had been associate editor previously, became the natural successor to Dr. Hartranft, having been as the result of experience and training, especially well qualified for the important and responsible position. Let us hope that the ardent, moral and spiritual ideals of the great reformer, Casper von Schwenkfeld, may through the mediation of this extensive presentation, serve a practical end; that is, animate an ever widening circle of readers with the spirit of the Master. Among the educational agencies projected by the Schwenkfelder Church in recent times is “The Schwenkfeldian,” a monthly periodical which gives publicity to the work and activities of the various local churches and also serves as a vehicle for the expression of opinion on historic, sociologic, moral and religious subjects. The launching of this journal was a constructive piece of work and should, among other things, help to arouse this denomination to the importance of giving increased attention to its needs and true situation. The editorial discussions of social, moral and religious topics provide food for reflection to all its readers, since they are carried on by men of education and sound discernment. The “Schwenkfeldian” is in every respect worthy of support and popular appreciation. So soon as the more active objections to modern methods by certain leading officials in the denomination had been overcome, a new spirit, a display of modern organizational effort in many directions, of which the church may justly feel proud, including the special fields of endeavor briefly referred to above, rapidly ensued. We see now such fine fruits of Christianity in the Schwenkfelder Church as missionary work, education, benevolence, social service, faith and love, all adding to the joy of worship and individual happiness. We should realize that the accumulated heritage of the previous generations of Schwenkfelders has made this generation rich at birth, that a denomination is not a physical fact, but a moral and spiritual fact in which the dead have furnished the chief content of the atmosphere we are privileged to breathe. We must ever recollect that no denomination, no more than an individual, can live unto itself. The Schwenkfelder Church has been, is, and the writer hopes ever shall continue to be an advo¬ cate of the principle of co-operation between protestant churches representing differing creeds. Indeed, in recent years it has repeatedly exemplified this principle, it is a particular pleasure to state. Finally, it behooves the present generation of Schwenkfelders to mediate the higher social virtues and moral ideals to those that shall come after them. THE SCHWENKFELDERS AN HISTORICAL SKETCH By Hon. Christopher Heydrick (Reprinted from the edition of 1879) The Schwenkfelders were so called from Caspar Schwenkfeld, a Silesian nobleman. He was born at Ossing (now Ossig), in Liibner circle, in the Principality of Liegnitz, in Lower Silesia, in 1490, was educated at Cologne, and dwelt several years at other universities, where theology early attracted his attention, and the writings of the Church Fathers became his favorite study. Quitting university life he visited many German courts, and devoted some years to the culture which, in his time, was supposed to befit his rank, qualifying himself for knighthood, and becoming, as he says in one of his epistles, a courtier. While yet a young man he entered the service of Carl, Duke of Miinsterberg, a grandson of Podiebrad, the Hussite King of Bohemia, at whose court the doctrines of John Huss were received, and by none more heartily than by the young knight and courtier. They made a deep and lasting impression upon his mind, and doubtless gave direction to his future life and labors. Bodily infirmities soon unfitted him for knightly duties, and he quitted the service of the Duke of Miinsterberg and became Counsellor to Frederick II., Duke of Liegnitz, whom he served in that capacity a number of years. Theology, however, had stronger attractions for him than affairs of state. He made the acquaintance of many theologians who were drifting in the direction of the Reformation, among whom were Valentine Crautwald, Johann Sigismund Werner, and Fabian Eckel, and under the influence of such associations the impressions received at Miinsterberg deepened until, as he expressed it, God touched his heart, and he withdrew from the ducal court and was chosen Canon of St. John’s Church, in Liegnitz. Luther had now withdrawn from the Church of Rome, and his preaching attracted Schwenkfeld’s attention and inspired him with a more intense zeal for the service of the Divine Master. He was at one with Luther upon the issues which the latter had raised with the Roman Catholic Church, and could no longer hold his position in St. John’s Church without violence to his conscience. He therefore renounced it to become an evangelist, and, for thirty-six years, with voice and pen, exhort men to repentance and godliness. Although not by nature a controversialist, as his writings abundantly testify, Schwenkfeld soon came to differ with the great Reformer on several points, chief among which related to the Eucharist, to the efficacy of the Divine Word, to the human nature of Christ, and to baptism. Schwenkfeld rejected the doctrine of impanation or consubstantiation as well as that of transubstantiation, and held that Christ taught (Matt. xxvi. 26) that “such as this broken bread is to the body, so is my body to the soul, a true and real food, which nourishes, sanctifies, and delights the soul; and such as this wine is to the body, so, in its effects, is my blood to the soul, which it strengthens and refreshes;” and, as a corollary, that the impenitent, though he would eat of the bread of the Lord, could not eat the body of the Lord, but that the penitent believer did partake of both, not only at the sacramental altar, but elsewhere. In respect to the second point of difference, he denied that the external word, which is committed to writing in the Scriptures, was endowed with the power of healing, illuminating, and renewing the mind, but ascribed this power to the Internal or Eternal Word, i. e., Christ himself. (John i. 1—14; Rev. xix. 13.) He regretted that Luther, who at first was quite in accord with him, should see fit .afterwards to ascribe to the written, outward, or preached word that power and efficacy which is inherent only in Christ, the Eternal Word. Luther translated Romans x. 17 : “So kommt der Glaube aus der Predigt, das Predigen aber durch das Wort Gottes” — -So faith cometh by preaching, but preach¬ ing by the word of God; while Schwenkfeld followed the original closely, rendering it in the equivalent of the English translation: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Upon the third point of difference Schwenkfeld would not allow Christ’s human nature in its exalted state to be called a creature or created substance, holding that such denomination was “in¬ finitely below His majestic dignity, reunited, as it is in that glorious state, with the Divine Essence.” He also rejected infant baptism, holding that instruction and faith should precede baptism (Acts 7 8 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families viii. 12, 13; Mark xvi. 15, 16; Matt, xxviii. 19); and that the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper were not intended as “a channel and means” through which the unregenerated participant could obtain salvation. Having settled in his own mind the true meaning of the words uttered by our Lord at the institu¬ tion of the sacramental feast, Schwenkfeld wrote out his views and submitted them to his friend Crautwald, who at first rejected them, and reproved him sharply for what he esteemed his heresy. Schwenkfeld, however, besought him to pray over the matter, and examine the words of the institution closely in the original tongue, declaring his conviction, in harmony with his theory of the operation of the Divine Word, that Christ had revealed the meaning to him. Crautwald finally promised to pray and think over the matter, and the result was his conversion. Speaking of this conference in one of his letters, Schwenkfeld says: “A fortnight later he (Crautwald) wrote me a Latin letter that the Lord Christ had revealed to him also the true meaning of the words.” Earnestly desiring harmony rather than polemic discussion, and hoping that an interchange of opinions would lead to an agreement with Luther, Schwenkfeld determined to seek a personal interview with him, and accordingly, in September, 1525, visited him at Wittenberg, and laid before him his views together with Crautwald’s letter. Bugenhagen, Pomeranus, and Justus Jonas were present, and the conference, which continued several days, was marked by Christian courtesy. Luther was in a condescending mood and said to Schwenkfeld: “I say truly that I have been troubled with this doc¬ trinal point for three years. Now your opinion is acceptable to me; it is very good if you can prove it. Finally, I say that your doctrinal point is not objectionable to me if you can prove it. I, also, was strongly inclined to it, and have long striven against it, and still have to strive against it.” Schwenkfeld’s mission seemed to have been successful, at least so far as to justify the belief that his views would receive respectful consideration, and he parted from the reformers in friendship, and, we may well suppose, returned to his own country with a light heart. But he was doomed to dis¬ appointment. After two months Luther returned his manuscript and Crautwald’s letter, and wrote him in his characteristic style, that he and Crautwald must cease to lead the people astray; that the blood of those whom they led astray would be upon their heads, and closed with these words: “Kurtz- um, entwieder ihr oder wir mfissen des Teufels leibeigen seyn, weil wir uns beiderseits Gottes Wort riihmen” — In short, either you or we must be in the bond service of the devil, because we, on both sides, appeal to the word of God. Troubles now began to thicken. Cut off from fellowship with the Lutherans, Schwenkfeld was none the less an object of the hatred of the Catholics. Even Ferdinand, King of Bohemia and Hungary, afterwards Emperor of Germany, whose liberality to the Protestants brought him into such disfavor at Rome that Pope Paul IV. refused to ratify his elevation to the imperial dignity, could not tolerate his teachings in respect to the Sacraments of the Lord’s Supper and Baptism, misrepresented as they were by the Catholic clergy, and wrote to the Duke of Liegnitz to proceed to extreme measures for his re¬ pression — Silesia then being under the suzerainty of the Bohemian kings. But the Duke was so far in sympathy with Schwenkfeld that he had printed for the use of his own household a “Confession of Faith” drawn up by two of the latter’s co-workers and most intimate friends, — Eckel and Werner, — and embodying the very doctrines which were so distasteful to the King’s spiritual advisers. Moreover, a friendship, formed while Schwenkfeld was Counsellor to the Duke and never afterwards interrupted, forbade compliance with the King’s command. But the Duke was powerless to protect his friend, and therefore advised him to retire from Silesia until more tolerant counsels should prevail at the royal court. He accordingly left Silesia in 1529 for a journey through Germany, but, as the sequel proved, never to return to his native land, — a circumstance which gave occasion for the story circulated by his enemies at the time, and since repeated by some German writers, that he had been expelled by the Duke at the instance of Ferdinapd, a story that Schwenkfeld expressly refuted on several occasions, and which is disproved by his friendly correspondence with the Duke until the latter’s death. Thence¬ forth he had no settled abiding-place, but moved about from city to city, defending his doctrines and faith in public conferences and discussions with the learned, and before the Magistrates at Augsburg, Niirnberg, Strasburg, Tubingen, and Ulm; often persecuted, and at least once — at Tubingen in 1535 — tried for heresy, when he was so far acquitted as to be promised freedom of religious worship in private, though forbidden to speak publicly. His life was one of unremitting labor. Besides preaching, he maintained an extensive correspon¬ dence with learned men and others of high rank throughout Germany and in Switzerland, and wrote many books and pamphlets, several editions of which were published — one in 1592, in four large quarto volumes. A spirit of deep and fervent piety pervaded his writings; and, although when controversy was forced upon him he stoutly defended his opinions upon disputed points of doctrine, he held that repentance of sin, purity of life, and humble trust in the cleansing efficacy of the blood of Christ were Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 9 of infinitely more importance than subscription to dogmas and observance of the Sacraments. Hence he desired not to establish an independent church, but frequently declared, in his writings, his unwilling¬ ness to separate himself from any who loved Christ. Notwithstanding the irreconcilable differences between himself and Luther, and the harsh treatment which he had received from the latter after the Wittenberg conference, he never ceased to frankly acknowledge his obligations and express in the warm¬ est terms his gratitude to the great reformer for the services he had rendered to him in common with all who were seeking the truth; and as late as 1543, less than three years before Luther’s death, wrote him, earnestly and affectionately entreating him to examine his “Confession of Faith Concerning the Person of Christ,” a work then just published, and point out his errors, if any. He died at the city of Ulm on the 10th of December, 1562, leaving a name unspotted by any charge except that of heresy, and that only in respect to the doctrines herein mentioned, and others held in common by the reformers. His opponents accorded him the praise of possessing great learning combined with modesty, meekness, piety, and a loving spirit. Although the establishment of an independent church was a purpose never entertained by Schwenk- feld, he had, so far as successful teaching of his distinctive doctrines went, prepared the way for it. Many clergymen and noblemen and other influential and learned men in Silesia and throughout Germany, and in some localities, especially in the Principalities of Liegnitz and Jauer, almost the entire population, embraced his doctrines; and for a time his adherents enjoyed the public ministration of the Gospel in not a few of the churches where they were most numerous, not as a distinct sect, but as part of the reformed Church in its wider sense. But their prosperity was short-lived. State reasons inclined the Protestant princes to favor the larger following of Luther, and most of the evangelical pastors who adhered to Schwenkfeld’s views were displaced, while but few were permitted to end their days with the churches which they served in Schwenkfeld’s time, and these under admonitions to observe the Sacraments according to the Lutheran practice. Even Frederick II. of Liegnitz, whose friendship for Schwenkfeld never abated, yielded late in life to the pressure of the dominant influences in the Protestant Church, and dismissed the Court Preacher Werner for no other reason than that he continued to teach the same doctrines that the Duke approved when Schwenkfeld was near the Court. But Frederick could not entirely forget his first love, and while he lived no severity was exercised towards the people in his dominions. After the Duke’s death, however, they fared worse. That they, on the one hand, were Protestant and Evangelical, and on the other declined fellowship with the Lutherans, was enough to excite the intolerant spirit of the age, and invite persecution from all sides. Other circumstances conspired to bring them into disfavor alike with the clergy and the civil magistrates. Their rejection of infant baptism was sufficient, in the judgment of those who cared not to inquire further, to justify the charge that they were Anabaptists, and bring upon them the odium of the excesses committed by that sect but a few years before at Munster. Neither the explicit denial by Schwenkfeld in his lifetime of any sympathy with the Anabaptists, nor the blameless lives of the people, who rendered unto Caesar the things that were Caesar’s, and strove according to their knowledge to render unto God the things that were God’s, availed to free them from that charge. They were called Schwenkfelders in derision, — - a name which they accepted, — and were stigmatized by almost every name that was supposed to convey a reproach. The new Duke, Frederick III., determined to stamp them out of his dominions, and issued a stringent decree against them, among other things imposing a fine of five hundred florins upon any person who should harbor an Anabaptist, by which he meant a Schwenkfelder, and later, ordered all their books to be seized and burned. These measures had the opposite effect to that intended; the number of Schwenkfelders increased rather than diminished, but the persecutors did not gain wisdom from experience. Persecutions increased from year to year, until about 1580, when it seemed that every means that the ingenuity of man could devise was employed to coerce these people into either the Lutheran or the Catholic Church. In addition to former methods, the clergy refused to solemnize marriages until the contracting parties would partake of the Sacrament at the parochial church; men and women were dragged in chains into churches; leading men were expelled from the country; frequently when the people met at private houses for worship, as was their custom, they were arrested and imprisoned, often in dungeons, where many died from starvation, cold, and violent treatment, and others contracted diseases of which they died soon after their release; and finally large numbers were sent to Vienna, and there condemned without trial to serve in the wars with the Turks, or as oarsmen on Mediterranean galleys. And so the weary years passed until the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War necessitated conciliation, when the Schwenkfelders accepted the horrors of that prolonged struggle as a grateful change from the cruelties of religious persecution. But soon after the peace of Westphalia the old persecutions were renewed with, if possible, increased rigor. From 1650 until 1658 they were especially severe. 10 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families Amid all these persecutions, without churches, without organization, robbed to a great extent of their religious books, and forbidden under severe penalties to reprint those that had been committed to the flames, the Schwenkfelders maintained their faith and their worship in the Fatherland for more than two centuries. The Bible was, indeed, allowed to them, and of this they were diligent readers; and, notwithstanding the efforts to suppress their literature, copies of Schwenkfeld’s works and the sermons and other writings of Johann Sigismund Werner, Michael Hiller, Erasmus Weichenhan, and Christian Hoburg were here and there preserved, and these served the multitude who met at the houses of their possessors to hear them read. The entire Sabbath, from morning till night, was spent in worship and in listening to the reading of such books. Martin John, a learned physician of Hockenau, who wrote in the latter part of the seventeenth century, says: “Whoever had books, read on Sundays, and the others went to hear. The order was thus: In the morning, after each one had prayed when he rose from his bed, they assembled and sang the morning song standing; then they prayed from a prayer-book and sang a hymn of invocation, especially to the Holy Ghost, all standing; after that they sang sitting, then prayed, and thereupon read some sermons; then prayed again and sang a couple of hymns; after that they ate at midday; then prayed again standing and sang an invocatory hymn, after which they read quite until evening, when they prayed and sang standing. This was the order on Sunday, and when the people came together in the week-time (for spinning) they then almost always sang, and when any one wished to go home they knelt down together and prayed.” Towards the close of the seventeenth century the spirit of intolerance relaxed, and the Lutheran Church presenting her attractive side to this people, large numbers, especially of the young, were won over to her communion, and from that time the Schwenkfelders gradually decreased, until in 1718 they numbered only a few hundreds where they had formerly been counted by the thousands, and had disappeared entirely from many villages where they had once been numerous. Reduced in numbers as they now were, their conversion to the Roman Catholic faith was, nevertheless, deemed by the Jesuits an object of sufficient importance to enlist the energies of the Order in that direction, and in furtherance of such object they commenced operations about this time at the Imperial Court. It was not difficult to persuade Charles VI. that the treaty of Westphalia in its interdiction of religious persecution did not protect the Schwenkfelders. An order to the government at Liegnitz to send in an official report of that people and their creed was therefore readily obtained, and in obedience thereto some of the leading men were summoned to appear at Liegnitz on the 19th of May, 1718, where they were questioned and required to hand in a written declaration or confession of their faith and some of their doctrinal and devotional books. Next, the Lutheran pastors at Harpersdorf and Neudorf were required to furnish lists of the Schwenkfelders in their respective parishes. These proceedings were followed in December, 1719, by the appearance of two Jesuit priests bearing a “Legitimation,” issued by the Superior Magistracy at Breslau, in the name and by command of the Emperor, accrediting them as missionaries for the conversion of the Schwenkfelders, in the following words: “The Roman Emperor, also King in Germany, Spain, Hungary, and Bohemia, by his acting Privy Counsellor, Director, Chancellor, and Counsellors at the Royal Superior Domain in the Duchy of Upper and Lower Silesia. “Offers first his courteous services, amity, and all blessings to the royal offices and domains, as also to the magis¬ trates, rulers, and officers, and to all lower jurisdictions, and others. And whereas his Imperial Majesty, our most gracious master, by virtue of a most gracious rescript issued unto the Royal Superior Domain on the 18th day of September last, has graciously declared in what manner a mission should be established for the conversion of the Schwenkfelders living in the Principalities of Schweidnitz, Jauer, and Liegnitz, and has most graciously thought proper to appoint for this purpose two priests from the Jesuit Society, namely, the worthy P. P. Johann Milahn and Carolum Regent, and has furthermore graciously commanded that the Superior Domain should provide said Patres Mission¬ aries with letters patent so that they might not be impeded in their beneficial undertaking, therefore alj the magis¬ trates, rulers, and other inhabitants, of whatever standing, office, or condition, are accordingly enjoined not to molest in any way those Patres Missionaries , nor to impede them in their ecclesiastical functions quo quo modo, under avoid¬ ance of severe animadversion, but moreover they are commanded to render them readily all possible assistance and help, and thus not to give cause for any complaint. In executing hereby the most gracious command of his Imperial Majesty we have no doubt of your acting in accordance therewith. “IIans Anton Count Schafgotsch (L. S.), ex consilio Reg.

But in the latter they found no easy task. To the end that they might know what they had to refute, they demanded answers in writing to a number of questions. These were cheerfully given, and at considerable length; every proposition being supported by abundant citations of Scripture and from the Church Fathers. Finding the people so strongly fortified in their religious opinions, and so apt to defend them, the missionaries became irritated and threatened to adopt harsher methods after the close of the year 1720. Accordingly, early in the year 1721, it was announced that the women and children must be brought to the missionaries for instruction in the Catholic religion; and an imperial edict to this effect was exhibited. There was now consternation among the people. So long as only men of mature judgment were required to hear the instructions of the missionaries, they feared nothing, but they could not endure the subjection of their tender offspring to teachings and influences which they regarded as pernicious. They therefore, on the 5th of May, 1721, dispatched three deputies — Christopher Hoffmann, Balthasar Hoffmann, and Balthasar Hoffrichter — to Vienna to sue for toleration. These deputies were graciously received by the Emperor, and remained at the Court five years, during which time they presented no less than seventeen memorials to the Emperor in person at audiences granted for that purpose, setting forth the persecutions suffered by their people at the hands of the missionaries and of the magistrates at the instigation of the missionaries, and praying for toleration and protection. But notwithstanding the Emperor’s uniform kindness of manner at these audiences, and that he ordered a cessation of violence until further consideration, matters constantly grew worse in Silesia. When parents refused to present their children for instruction, they were imprisoned; women were placed in the stocks and compelled to lie in cold rooms in the winter without so much as straw under them; and when imprisonment failed to bring the people with their children to the missionary services, fines and extortions were added. Marriages were forbidden unless the parties would promise to rear their offspring in the Catholic faith, and when young people went into other countries to be married, they were imprisoned for that on their return. The dead were not allowed Christian burial in the churchyards where their ancestors of the same faith for many generations slept, but were required to be interred in cattle- ways, and sorrowing friends were forbidden to follow the remains of loved ones to these ignominious resting-places. Hundreds of Schwenkfelders were so buried at Harpersdorf, Langenneudorf, and Lauterseifen during the twenty years that the mission was maintained. The missionaries claimed guardianship of all orphan children of Schwenkfelders, and thus the last hours of the dying were embittered by the thought that their children must be educated in a faith that they themselves abhorred. And to prevent escape from the horrible situation in which they were placed, the people were forbidden to sell their property or, under any pretext, leave the country, and severe penalties were denounced against any person who should assist a Schwenkfelder to escape by pur¬ chasing his property, or otherwise. The deputies made a final appeal to the Emperor for mercy on the 28th of July, 1725. That appeal was answered by the publication— in September — of the following decree: ‘‘CHARLES THE SIXTH. ‘‘Dear Faithful; We received your obedient report of March 20th, of this year, by which you have informed us of the condition of the ecclesiastical mission appointed for the conversion of those Schwenkfelder Sectariorum sojourn¬ ing at several places in our Duchy of Silesia. As we now most graciously desire a better progress of the mission, we therefore provide: “Primo, most graciously to wit: That the mission henceforth exercise all their power to accomplish the work of conversion with profit and good effect. And likewise “Secundo, that all watchful oversight of the mock preachers and Seductores from the authority of the country, and especially from those missionaries, be kept as heretofore commanded, and in case of any trespass at once to arrest the guilty and to punish them in terrorem alior, and to report to us aggravating occurrences if thought proper, and also we desire that the same may be understood concerning those Schwenkfelder inhabitants and housekeepers who permit Schwenkfelder conventicula in their houses, or who are leaders or instigators to persistence in those heretical errors. In such a manner that they shall be arrested as soon as the same shall be sufficiently apparent, brought here and their names entered. So it shall 12 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families “Tertio, not only be a settled matter that the Schwenkfelder books of instruction shall be hunted up and taken away, as also no less “Quarto, that the children of the Schwenkfelders shall be brought to preaching and catechizing, and also the adulti Sectarii themselves shall be held to the presence and hearing thereof, and those who without good cause absent themselves, shall at the first occurrence be charged with a money fine in proportion to their circumstances; for the second time it shall be doubled; upon further renitenz to the contrary they shall be punished according to the nature of the case with arrest or opere publico: and further the Schwenkfelder congregations in their submissive requests to be tolerated in their confession of faith in future, are once for all refused, and they shall never hereafter venture to present any new supplications; and be it in all seriousness announced to all the respective jurisdictions and public authorities that the missionary fathers shall by nothing, and in no way or manner, be hindered, but upon their call shall receive all necessary assistance with all force and effect.

Comes Vinsky, “Ris Bohoemiee Sup Cancellarius. “To the Royal Superior Magistracy “in Silesia. “Presented the 19th of August, 1725. “The foregoing copy was taken from the original, with the same carefully compared and found to agree with the same in every particular, which is hereby attested by deliberately attaching thereto the great royal official seal. “So done at the Royal Castle in Jauer, the 19th of September, 1725. ,,j g ,, The missionaries now bent all their energies to the accomplishment of the work in hand, and to the full exercised with the utmost rigor the powers granted to them, and were aided therein by the civil magistrates even to patrolling the highways to prevent the escape of any of the doomed people. Thus was this unhappy people shut up to the choice of either apostasy, or continued endurance of the ever-increasing miseries of their situation, or flight. The first was to the true Schwenkfelder simply impossible; the second was too horrible to be contemplated. They therefore resolved to escape from the country at all hazards. The exodus commenced in the month of February, 1726. During that month and the months of March, April, and May following, upwards of one hundred and seventy families escaped by night from Harpersdorf, Armenruh, and Hockenau, and fled on foot to Upper Lusatia, then a part of the Electorate of Saxony, 'and found shelter at Wirsa near Greissenberg, Gorlitz, Hennersdorf near Gorlitz, Berthels- dorf, and Herrnhut. In consequence of the prohibition of sales of property by Schwenkfelders, and the police regulations to prevent emigration, they were obliged to leave all their property behind except what they could carry upon their backs or upon wheelbarrows. Consequently the less provident, who had laid up little or no money, found themselves in great destitution amongst strangers. They were, however, hospitably received, and treated with much consideration by the Senate of Gorlitz, and by Count Zinzendorf, at Berthelsdorf and Herrnhut, and soon after their arrival assistance came to them unexpectedly from theretofore unknown friends in Holland. They lived here in a state of uncertainty as to the future for eight years. The assistance received from Holland led to a correspondence with the Dutch benefactors, who strongly advised emigration to Pennsylvania. Some, however, began to purchase homes in Lusatia, and it is doubtful whether all would not have settled there permanently had not subsequent events proved the advice of the Hollanders to have been both timely and wise. In the spring of 1733 Count Zinzendorf informed them that they would be tolerated no longer in Lusatia, and referred them to the superior magistrate at Bautzen for the reasons. It was ascertained that application had been made for their enforced return to Silesia. They were, however, permitted to remain until the next spring. Soon after Count Zinzendorf’s announcement that protection would be withdrawn, two families emigrated to Pennsylvania, arriving at Philadelphia on the 18th of September (O. S.), 1733. Their report of the country, and the advice of the friends in Holland, determined about forty families to follow them. Their first care was to proceed orderly and obtain the permission of the sovereign to whom they proposed to transfer their allegiance. This secured, they set out in April, 1734, for Altona, in Denmark, where they arrived on the 17th of May. On their arrival at Altona, they found prepara¬ tions made for their reception, and were most hospitably entertained until the 28th, when they em¬ barked on three small vessels for Haarlem, arriving at the latter place on the 6th of June. Here they were received with open arms, and overwhelmed with kindness by their benefactors of former years. The disinterested kindness of a mercantile house in Haarlem, composed of three brothers, Abra¬ ham, Isaac, and John Von Byuschanse, deserves more than a passing notice here. Their attentions to the strangers were not limited to seeing that there were no actual wants unsupplied; they strove by Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 13 personal attentions to make the stay of the party in Haarlem enjoyable. The little ones especially came in for a full share of their kindly offices. Part of the contribution sent to Gorlitz in 172G for the relief of the destitute remained unexpended, and those having it in charge offered to return it to the donors, there being no further need of such assistance. The Messrs. Von Byuschanse would not listen to the offer, but directed the fund to be expended for the benefit of the poorer people when they should arrive in Pennsylvania. And not content with all that they had done, they insisted upon providing at their own expense a vessel for the transportation of the whole company to Philadelphia, and defraying the entire expense of the voyage. This noble benefaction was bread cast upon the waters. The de¬ scendants and successors in the business of the Messrs. Von Byuschanse met with reverses in the year 1790. Information of this fact coming to the Schwenkfelders in Pennsylvania, they, in grateful remem¬ brance of the kindness shown to their own ancestors and to some of themselves in childhood more than half a century before, raised a considerable sum of money [seven hundred pounds or about 3000 dollars says Hazard's Register of Pa., Vol. J, July 1829, p. 127], and sent it to the relief of the distressed house. The emigrants remained at Haarlem, enjoying the munificent hospitality of the Messrs. Von Byuschanse, until the 19th of June, when they proceeded to Rotterdam, and there embarked for Pennsylvania on an English ship, the St. Andrew, which had been chartered for them by their large- hearted friends, and touching at Plymouth, England, arrived at Philadelphia on the 22d of September (N. S.), 1734. On the next day all male persons over the age of sixteen years proceeded to the State- house, and there subscribed a pledge of allegiance to George II., King of Great Britain, and his suc¬ cessors, and of fidelity to the proprietor of the province. They spent the 24th in thanksgiving to Almighty God for delivering them out of the hands of their persecutors, for raising up friends in the times of their greatest need, and for leading them into a land of freedom, where they might worship Him unmolested by civil or ecclesiastical power. This day, the 24th of September, was thenceforth set apart to be observed by them and their descendants, through all time, as a day of Thanksgiving commemorative of the Divine goodness manifested in their deliverance from the persecutions of the Fatherland. To this day it is so observed. The little band who had passed through so many trials together were now to separate. Some settled within the present limits of the city of Philadelphia, in the neighborhood of Chestnut Hill; others in the now counties of Montgomery, Berks, and Lehigh, there to convert the wilderness into happy homes, that in many instances have been enjoyed by their descendants till this day. It is need¬ less to dwell on the hardships and privations of the first few years. They were such as were the common lot of all the early settlers of Pennsylvania, mitigated by the remembrance of what had been exchanged for them. Dispersed as the people were, they nevertheless remained one in faith and in the bonds of mutual sympathy and love, and promptly set up the worship of Almighty God in their new home. They were without a pastor, but fortunately not without a man qualified by many gifts and graces to fill the sacred office. That man was George Weiss. He had been selected on the eve of departure from Lusatia to “give instruction to the children, and render such other spiritual services as might be required,” and had conducted the thanksgiving services on arrival in this country and perhaps other services, and having proved acceptable, was, in December, 1734, elected by the “house fathers” to the pastoral office. He served with great acceptance till his death, in 1740, when he was succeeded by Rev. Balthasar Hoffman. It was natural to expect that the remaining Schwenkfelders would follow their emigrant brethren as rapidly as circumstances would admit. Such, however, was not the case. The very violence of the missionaries worked its own temporary cure, and for a time the necessity for flight was removed. Says Kadelbach: [Ausfurliche Geschichte Caspar SchwenJcfelds und der Schwenkfelder in Schlesien, der Ober Lausitz und Amerika , Lauban, I860.] “The respective local rulers, lords of the soil, saw with indignation the expatriation of their most active and peaceful subjects, and the decline of the prosperity of their communities.” Thus was an influential public opinion awakened against the missionaries, not so much, indeed, by the outrageous cruelty of their methods, as by its effects on the public prosperity; but it was none the less potent, and its pressure was felt in a quarter where it was least expected to be respected. The same author says: “Even the Catholic clergy of the surrounding country declared themselves by no means in accord with the behavior of the missionaries, and were greatly dissatisfied with this sort of conversion.” Of course this meant a change of tactics, and the Schwenkfelders had comparative rest for a few years. About the close of the year 1735, however, the old methods of conversion were revived, and in the following year a number of families fled into Saxony, whence one family came to Pennsylvania the 14 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families same year, and four others in 1737. Again there was anxiety about the loss of subjects, and, whether in consequence of representations by the local governments or of other promptings, an imperial order was issued temporarily suspending the exercise of the extraordinary powers of the missionaries, and directing a searching investigation of their conduct; and again there was comparative exemption from persecution. But whatever steadiness of purpose Charles VI. manifested in the general administration of the affairs of the empire, his conduct towards the Schwenkfelders had always been characterized by fickle¬ ness. Each spasmodic exhibition of a tolerant disposition had been followed by a more intolerant decree from the Imperial Court, and it was too late now when, nearing the end of his career, he was engaged in securing guarantees of the inviolability, after his death, of the Pragmatic Sanction, to expect more firmness in his good intentions towards this people than he had before shown. The next spring a decree was published to the effect that the “Schwenkfelder heresy” must be trodden out, and its adherents coerced into the Catholic Church within one year. But it was a vain decree. The hour of final deliverance and, in some measure, of retribution, was approaching. Within the year appointed for the extermination of the Schwenkfelders Charles had paid the debt of nature, and Frederick the Great had vindicated his better title to Silesia, under the agreement of mutual succession made two centuries before between his ancestor, the Elector of Brandenburg, and the Duke of Liegnitz, and had proclaimed religious freedom in the long-misgoverned principalities. Frederick was not content to merely put a stop to religious persecutions. Damage had been sustained by the country in the loss of valued subjects, and great wrongs had been done to individuals. He desired to repair the former and was willing to redress the latter even at the expense of the royal treasury. For that purpose he issued an edict in 1742 which reflects the highest honor upon himself, and, when the insignificance of their numbers is considered, pays a flattering tribute to the worth of the exiled Schwenkfelders. As exhibiting the estimation in which the ancestors of those whose names are contained in the following pages were held, and at the same time as a happy contrast to the before- recited decree of Charles VI., that edict is here presented in extenso: “Edict to provide for the re-establishment of the so-called Schwenkfelders in Silesia and other provinces of his Royal Majesty; De dato Selowitz the 8th of March, 1742. “We, Frederick, by the Grace of God, King of Prussia, Margrave of Brandenburg, Arch Chamberlain, and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, etc., etc. “Be it known to all to whom these presents may come: Whereas we do hold nothing to be so contrary to Nature, Reason, and Principles of the Christian Religion as the forcing of the subjects’ consciences, and persecuting them about any erroneous doctrines which do not concern the fundamental principles of the Christian Religion. We have, there¬ fore, most graciously resolved that the so-called Schwenkfelders, who were exiled through an imprudent zeal for Reli¬ gion, to the irreparable damage of commerce and of the country, be recalled into our Sovereign Duchy of Lower Silesia. We have, therefore, thought fit by these presents to assure all those who possess the said doctrine, upon our Royal word that they shall and may safely return not only into our Sovereign Duchy of Lower Silesia, but also into all our provinces, peaceably to live and trade there, since we not only do receive them into our special protection, but also will give them all necessary supplies for the promotion of their commerce. And all those who, several years ago, were deprived of their habitations and estates in our country of Silesia, shall be reinstated without any compensation in case those estates are not paid for by the new possessors. Such as will settle in our villages shall have farms assigned to them, and care shall be taken to provide them employment, and those who choose to live in towns shall, besides several ordinary Free years, have places assigned them gratis for the building of their houses, for which purposes they need only apply to our Military and Domainen Chambers. “We do therefore command our Superior Colleges of Justice and Finance, as also all mediate Princes, Lords, Magistrates, etc., carefully to observe the same. “In Witness whereof we have signed this present Edict with our own hand, and caused our Royal Seal to be affixed. “Done at Selowitz, March 8th, 1742.

Christopher Heydrick, p. 25.} Much as they loved the Fatherland in spite of the cruel wrongs which they and their ancestors for two centuries had suffered, none of the Schwenkfelders in Pennsylvania availed themselves of the royal invitation to return to their former homes. They had become attached to the government under which they had for eight years enjoyed absolute freedom and a measure of prosperity that promised better things in the future than restoration of their estates in Silesia. They had come here to stay, and had laid foundations which they were loath to abandon. They had acquired permanent homes; they had established and thus far maintained, public worship; remembering the words of Christ: Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 15 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will, ye may do them good; they had estab¬ lished a Poor Fund, which, increasing with increased prosperity, has, for nearly a century and a half, satisfied every call upon it from within their communion and scattered its blessings outside; and they had established a School Fund which supplied every want intended to be supplied by the system of public instruction established by the State many years later. In short, they had taken root in the soil of Pennsylvania. For many years they could not be said to have had an organization as a church. Indeed, the want of an organization was not felt while there were but few families, and they widely separated. But after the death of their second pastor, Rev. Balthasar Hoffman, in 1775, with increased membership, the necessity for an organization was recognized and soon received attention. Christopher Schultz, a man of great learning, ability, and zeal, and withal peculiarly fitted for the special work before him, was now, after fervent prayer for the divine guidance therein, called to the pastoral office. He addressed himself to the work of organization, and prepared a constitution or system of church government which was formally adopted on the 17th of August, 1782. For administrative purposes two districts were created, known as the “Upper District” and the “Lower District.” It was provided that each district should elect a president, three elders, two trustees, and a treasurer of the School Fund, and a treasurer of the Poor Fund. Two congregations or individual churches were then organized, one in each district. The duties of the elders are to see that church order is strictly observed, and to examine all matters in dispute between members and, if possible, adjust the same. One elder is elected every year in each district for the term of three years, and no elder can be re-elected until at least one year after the expira¬ tion of his last term. After the adoption of the common school system of the State the name of the School Fund was changed to “Literary Fund,” and the fund itself devoted to literary purposes, and the duties of the officers of the Fund were correspondingly modified. The duties of the other officers are sufficiently indicated by their titles. The members on their part are enjoined to pay their debts without legal proceedings, and to “live quiet, virtuous, peaceable, Christian lives according to the will of Christ in all meekness and lowliness as the quiet in the land, and to be true and faithful in their spiritual as well as their temporal calling.” Owing to the dispersion of the members and the consequent impracticability of assembling any considerable numbers at any one point, no church edifices were erected until the year 1789. In that year a church was erected in the upper district, and soon after one in the lower. At later periods two more churches were built in each district, making six in all. Until these accommodations were provided, divine service was held at private houses, as it had been in the Fatherland, and in the absence of the pastor was conducted by one of the members. The service was opened with singing and prayer. The Gospel lesson for the day was then read, and sometimes expounded, after which a sermon from Weich- enhan’s, Werner’s, or Hiller’s Postille was read, followed by singing and prayer. While there was but a single pastor, there were a number of members who acceptably led meetings for worship and per¬ formed much of the pastoral work. At later periods the ministry was increased, until there are now [1879] three active ministers in each district. The religious training and education of their children was from an early period regarded by the Schwenkfelders as a matter of prime importance. The exact date of the establishment of Kinder Lehr cannot now be ascertained, but the first appointment of George Weiss before he was called to the full work of the ministry proves that the institution was brought to this country from Germany, and when the immigrants devoted, as they did, every alternate Sabbath to the instruction of the youth by catechetical lectures, it was evidently no new thing. Rev. Christopher Schultz gave an impetus to this department of church-work by his untiring labors therein, and by an excellent Catechism which he prepared for the instruction of children. The solicitude of the church for the children is shown in a ceremony originated in this country. As soon as conveniently may be after the birth of a child it is brought into church and the minister prays for its happiness and prosperity, and admonishes its parents to “bring it up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord according to the will of God.” This service is sometimes performed at the home of the parents. The literature of the Schwenkfelders is almost exclusively in the German language. Their printed works are mainly those hereinbefore incidentally mentioned, to which may be added the Erlauterung, etc., published in 1771, and of which a second edition appeared in 1830; and a work by the venerated Schultz, entitled “A Compendium of Christian Faith.” But a large and valuable portion of their literature is yet in manuscript, being in part the writings of contemporaries of Schwenkfeld and of others of the next century. A single volume appeared in an English dress in 1858, containing Schwenkfeld’s “Heavenly Balm and Divine Physician,” and “Threefold Life of Man,” translated by the Rev. F. R. Anspach, D.D. 16 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families SUPPLEMENTARY HISTORY By Samuel K. Brecht In order to answer repeated inquiries as to the history and location as well as the present status of the Schwenkfelder Church, it is deemed necessary to give additional data in this section concerning the later history of the Schwenkfelders as a supplement to that written by Judge Heydrick on the preceding pages. When the attempt was made in Saxony to force the Schwenkfelders to return to Silesia, as narrated by Judge Heydrick, they did not all flee to America as will be described in connection with the families in later pages. In consequence of the migration to Pennsylvania, families were broken up; in some cases husbands were parted from wives; children from parents, brothers and sisters from each other. It has been impossible to obtain actual statistics of the number ot ScUwenRf elders who remained in Europe, but it is known that a number of them returned to Saxony, and it is stated by some that at least five hundred souls were under the jurisdiction of Count Zinzendorf when he was notified that they would no longer be tolerated in Lusatia. NUMBER OF SCHWENKFELDERS In a reply to a questionnaire of the Saxon government at a request from the King of Poland re¬ garding the number of Schwenkfelders in Saxony at that time (1732), it was stated that 179 persons had fled to Saxony, that twenty-five families remained, and twenty individuals went over to the Evangelical religion between 1722 and 1732. They had been tolerated in Silesia for 200 years. [Dresden Stunts Archiv .] From the letters written to the Mennonites by Adam Wiegner, the secretary of the Schwenkfelders during this pre-migratory period, we learn that there was much opposition within the body towards their migration to Pennsylvania. The Emperor of Germany invited them to settle in the province of Brandenburg, near Berlin, where he agreed to erect linen factories for them so that they might find em¬ ployment there. Count Zinzendorf, indeed, persuaded them to agree to go with him with a body of Moravians to found a colony in Georgia, which they agreed to do under certain conditions. When the time for departure was at hand the Count could not meet his conditions, so the Schwenkfelders felt they were no longer bound by their agreement, which was never put in writing, and they decided to come to Pennsylvania. Hence, it seems that the hand of Providence was the guiding star that kept them from locating in Brandenburg or being transported to Georgia to become slave owners. The various migrations are described in the following chapters, but apparently a very large number remained in Germany and were assimilated with the other denominations. The passport of Frederick Bormann reproduced on another page is a proof that some of the families returned to Silesia. The letters in Christopher Kriebel’s letter book (vid. Christopher Kriebel [19-2]) give us a glimpse of the condition in Silesia during this period subsequent to the migration to Pennsylvania. The last sur¬ viving Schwenkfelder in Silesia as given by Kadelbach seems to have been Melchior Dorn, who died in Harpersdorf in 1726. His arm chair reposes in the Schwenkfelder Historical Library at Pennsburg, Pa. The descendants of Melchior Dorn living in Germany today state that Mr. Dorn always claimed to his dying day that he was a steadfast Schwenkfelder. Only forty families decided to migrate to Pennsylvania. The rest remained in Gorlitz, went over to the Lutheran Church, bought homesteads and married. The forty glaubenstreue (faithful) families departed in January, 1734, from Gorlitz and the surroundings for England, whence through their Haar¬ lem friends shipped for Pennsylvania on July 29, 1734, and under God’s protection landed Sept. 22, 1734. On June 18, 1732, in response to a request for the number of Schwenkfelders in Gorlitz, Dr. Chris¬ topher Biittner reported that in Gorlitz were the following: 1. Adam Wiegner with wife and four children. 2. David Lips and wife. 3. Melchior Hiibner and four children. In Hennersdorf, Melchior Krause “ein Dorfschneider” (village tailor). They were quiet people and disturbed no one, so that no one could complain about them. All the remainder had gone to Ber¬ the! sdorf. On May 13, 1734, Christopher Wiegner and Melchior Hiibner thanked the magistrate for his pro¬ tection thus far, and asked for a passport to America. Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 17 In 1734, after most of the Schwenkfelders had migrated from Upper Lusatia, from 20 to 28 persons, men and women, came from out of Silesia to Gorlitz. They found quarters with M. Schofer “im Hinterhause,” and a few burgers. They were sent out of Berthelsdorf to Gorlitz. While they fled on account of force, many more became Catholics. They requested domiciles for only three months. In this group was Caspar Teichman with a family of seven, and Kaspar Bormann and Melchior Schubert with his family. On Apr. 27, 1736, there came out of Harpersdorf Abraham Beyer with wife and five children, and two other families. They were bound for Gorlitz. It was proposed to them that they join the Evan¬ gelical Church (Lutheran), but they remained only a short time. [ Kadelbach , p 65.} THE MIGRATION TO GORLITZ In the 17tli and 18th centuries, Gorlitz was of all the towns in Upper Lusatia the chief home of the Schwenkfelders. Sebastian Schiitze, owner of the villages of Leopoldshein (Leutpoldshayn) and Hennersdorf, a scientific and cultured man, is said to have been the first Schwenkfelder in Gorlitz. He was already married in 1512, and was such an ardent follower of Protestantism that he organized divine services in the home for his children and household. In 1544, he had a converted shoemaker from Gorlitz, named Franz Seidel, installed as pastor at Leopoldshein and had him ordained as pastor. [ Kadelbach, p 53.} The following is a list of Schwenkfelders who came to Gorlitz, according to Kadelbach: Feb. 21, 1726: from Harpersdorf, Melchior Kriebel, “Hausler und Handelsmann,” with family; Adam Wiegner, “Gartner und Handelsmann,” with wife and four children. Apr. 29: David Liebe, “Handelsmann,” with wife and one child. From Armenruh, Feb. 21, 1726: George Wiegner with wife and four children. From Hockenau, Apr. 29, 1726: Melchior Htibner, “Arzt,” with wife and three children. Mel¬ chior Neumann, “Zimmerman,” with wife and child. From Harpersdorf to Hennersdorf, near Gorlitz, Apr. 29, 1726: George Scholtz, “Bauer,” with wife and three children. Melchior Krause with wife and four children. From Harpersdorf to Berthelsdorf, under Count Zinzendorf, Feb. 16, 1726: Balthasar Jackel, “Bauer,” with wife and five children. Melchior Meschter, “Schumacher,” with wife and three children. George Hoffman, “Hausler,” with wife and four children. George Reinwald, “Hausler,” with wife and three children. Apr. 30: Balthasar Schultze, “Bauer,” with wife and five children. May 1: Christoph Kriebel, “Bauer,” with wife and three children; Melchior Scholz, “Bauer,” with wife and three children; Melchior Kriebel; Balthasar Heidricli u And. From Armenruh, Feb. 28: Georg Anders, “Weber,” with wife. From Harpersdorf to Herrnhut, May 5, 1726: George Weiss, “Weber” and wife. Balthasar Hoffman (he spent five years as ambassador of the Schwenkfelders at the Imperial Court), with wife and two children. Christopher Hoffman, with wife, also an ambassador. All together there were 170 persons who left the above named places and came to Gorlitz and settled in the surrounding community. They found a good friend and counsellor in Gorlitz, Senator and merchant Hanisch, who wrote to friends in Holland in their behalf and secured aid for them. In a reply from Isaac Grajestein from Haarlem, dated May 10, 1726, amongst other things he says they have raised 6000 Holland gldr. for the benefit of the Schwenkfelders, and that Senator Hanisch might draw personally on him for 1000 gldr. and distribute it amongst the needy. [ Kadelbach , pp 47-76.} The last Schwenkfelder who came to Gorlitz from Harpersdorf arrived December 14, 1740. She was the twenty-four-year-old widow Anna Rosina Wagner, nee Hiibner. She had a child one and three- fourths years old. She was asked whether she wished to become protestant (evangelical). She answered evasively — she would not forbid her child to become Lutheran but as for herself, she could not yet decide. From this time on the migration of the Schwenkfelders towards Upper Lusatia ceased, as Frederick the Great had granted religious toleration in Silesia. [ Kadelbach, p 66.} The small group of Schwenkfelders remaining in Silesia in respect to their belief and attitude bore the persecution better than their freedom. For soon after they obtained freedom of belief they began to seek associations, their clothing became modernized, and they had less respect for the sanctity of the Sabbath. Thus it happened that year after year the number decreased and the freedom of the ranks lightened. Most of their children decided to declare for Protestantism and to participate in all (rights) practices of the denomination. [ Kadelbach , p 50.} 18 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families The last Schwenkfelder in Lower Silesia who still declared himself to be so openly, was the {Bauer, guts-besitzer ) farm owner, Melchior Dorn of Harpersdorf. He died June 24, 1826, aged 73 years, 9 months, and 8 days. Thus for 100 years after their dispersal there remained Schwenkfelders in Silesia. The Catholic Chapel in Harpersdorf still standing on the fine Meschter farm and built by the Catholics with the fines paid by the Schwenkfelders for not attending church, and the graves in the Viehweg are the last and only monuments in Silesia of the persecution of the Schwenkfelders. THE VIEHWEG AT HARPERSDORF , The Viehweg is a public burying ground or “Potter’s Field” located in Harpersdorf, Silesia, in which Schwenkfelders who were denied Christian burial in the church cemeteries were interred. It was considered a very great disgrace to be interred there, as it was supposed to be the burial place of crimin¬ als who were interred there ofttimes by public decree only. On May 17, 1704, Sybilla Adolph, who had taken the life of her infant babe by drowning it in a neighboring pond, was beheaded and buried there. Another official document states that a woman who had taken her own life by hanging, on the premises of Adam Meschter, in Upper Harpersdorf on May 24, 1715, was buried in the Viehweg by special decree; hence burial in the Viehweg was intended not only as a curse to the parents, but also to the children of those who were buried there. Between the years 1720 and 1741, more than two hundred Schwenkfelders were buried in this plot. After the Jesuit Mission had come to Harpersdorf the last Schwenkfelder to be buried in the churchyard was Eva Schultz, on Nov. 3, 1722, and the first one to be buried in the churchyard after the struggle was over was George Groh who died O'ct. 27, 1741, at the age of 86. All the Schwenkfelders dying between these dates were forbidden burial in the churchyards, thus this spot is sacred to the Schwenk¬ felders because of its history. The early documents of the Schwenkfelders, written during the persecution and after the migration, mention the burials in this plot, and we find that Rev. Christopher Schultz in 1772, in a letter to C. E. Heintze, has a long discussion regarding the Viehweg, and expresses the hope that the Schwenkfelders might secure this property, convert it into a graveyard with a proper enclosure, and erect on it a monu¬ ment or a DenJcmal. We also find that Rev. Oswald Kadelbach, a great friend of the Schwenkfelders, was desirous that desecration of this holy ground should be prevented, as he stated that this Viehweg was considered public property. It was used as a dump and anyone needing loads of soil or dirt to fill up holes in his premises would come to this graveyard and help himself. This was carried on to such an extent that in some places the bones of the dead were uncovered and exposed. Conditions remained the same until 1861, when Dr. Solomon S. Schultz, who was visiting the hospitals of Europe in prepar¬ ation for becoming superintendent of the State Hospital at Danville, Pa., paid a visit to Silesia, met Pastor Kadelbach, and visited this graveyard. As a result of this visit Dr. Schultz communicated with his friends in America, a fund was raised, the ground was purchased by the Schwenkfelders, and a hand¬ some monument has been erected upon it. This monument contains the following inscription: “Hier ruhen in Gott die glaubenstreuen Schwenkfelder welche in den Jahren 1720-40 auf diesem Viehwege beerdigt wurden.” “Die Liebe der Nachkomen in Nord-Amerika setzte den Voreltern zu Probst liayn, Harpersdorf, Langen neundorf u. Lauterseifen dieses Denkmal 1863.” [Translation] “Here rest in God the faithful Schwenkfelders who were buried in this Viehweg between 1720 and 1740.” On the other side of the monument is this inscription: “The descendants in North America erected this monument in memory of their ancestors in Probsthayn, Harpersdorf, Langenneundorf, and Lauterseifen.” The monument stands in the center of the plot, which is overgrown with white birch trees, so that the cemetery is practically a grove. Dr. Schultz had also planned to enclose this burial ground by a stone wall, but the funds collected not being sufficient to erect both the wall and the monument, the monument was erected first and the erection of the stone wall has never taken place. The breaking out of the Civil War required the serv¬ ices of Dr. Schultz as surgeon in the army, thus taking his time and attention from these matters, and the high rate of foreign exchange also militated against forwarding any more money to Germany for Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 19 completing the plans proposed for the Viehweg. In the course of time Pastor Kadelbacli died, and there being no one in Germany to look after the matter, the grounds have remained unenclosed to this day. Prior to the late World War the Schwenkfelder Church for a number of years had sent funds to Harpersdorf to pay for the upkeep of the cemetery, but since the breaking out of the war nothing fur¬ ther has been done towards providing for its maintenance. [ Vid . Schwenkfeldian, Vol. Ill; p J^2.\ BURNING OF THE CHURCH AT HARPERSDORF The Jesuit Milahn lived in Harpersdorf in a narrow farm house in the upper part of the village, and was always pleased to have friends and patrons visit him during his spare hours. On one of these occasions it seems that a large quantity of refreshments was crowded into the narrow house in order to entertain those present. In October, 1726, it happened that a large number of guests had assembled in the priest’s house and at this time his relations with the Schwenkfelders still remaining in Harpersdorf was not very cordial. Pains were taken to give the guests good entertain- ‘ment, but the narrowness of the rooms was not taken into account, so that fire broke out and raged with such fury that in less than four hours four farm houses and twenty other country dwellings, besides the handsome protestant church with the tower and chimes were a prey to the flames. [It is stated that the only part of the church not destroyed was the “Tauf-Engel” which is preserved in the present Lutheran Church in Harpersdorf, said to be the only Tauf-Engel in the whole of Silesia. — Editor.] No one dared to make open charges regarding the fire, but the murmurings of the members of the unfortunate congregation, as well as those outside could not be restrained. Father Milahn no longer feeling secure in his berth had himself recalled from Harpersdorf in order to escape punishment at the hands of the village folk. After recovering from the shock of the fire the protestant congregation im¬ mediately set out to rebuild the church and tower that had been destroyed. Pastor Neander, who had for a long time been hated by the Jesuits, as was his duty, took this op¬ portunity and demanded among other things that, at the wish of the community, a third bell or chimes be purchased for the church. This demand aroused the Jesuits against him anew. They com¬ plained to Vienna that Neander had violated the consistorial command that no radical changes should be made to any church edifice, whereas he ordered a third bell for the church. The result was that an imperial decree was issued suspending Neander from the service. [ Kadelbach .] SCHWENKFELDER GRATITUDE The Schwenkfelders at different times sent letters and money to Europe. In 1771 and 1772 they wrote to Harpersdorf and Probsthayn to ascertain whether any of their fellow believers were in need, and if so they would forward money for their support. In 1816 they sent a considerable sum (167 Rix dollars) to the Council at Gorlitz as a thank-offering in remembrance of the favors and protection given their ancestors. The money was to be used for the relief of unfortunate Lusatians who were left destitute as a result of the war, or for the relief of any destitute Schwenkfelders who lived in Lusatia. The Council of Gorlitz thanked the Schwenkfelders in an official manner [vid. letter of Gorlitz plate], and Scabinus Zahne wrote an historical account of the trials of the Schwenkfelders in Gorlitz which was printed and sent to the Schwenkfelders in America [vid. Dankbare Erinnerung an die Gemeinde der Schwenkfelder zu Philadelphia, Gorlitz 1816]. After the authof’s death in 1819, his widow received a letter from America dated Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Sept. 7, 1818, written by Christoph Jackel, Chairman. In this letter thanks are given for the impartial accounts which the Schwenkfelders received concerning conditions about Gorlitz, and enclosed was a copy of the “Erlauterung fur Herrn Casper Schwenckfeld.” In November, 1857, a letter signed by George Meschter, William Schultz and Jacob Meschter was addressed to the “Burgermeister Arnt in Probsthain.” This letter recites that the Schwenkfelder congregation was desirous of ascertaining whether any Schwenkfelders are still living in Probsthain and vicinity. The letter recites the fact that in 1771 and 1772 a correspondence between the Schwenkfelders in Pennsylvania and those in Probsthain had been carried on [ Heintze Correspondence], and it was hoped that some still existed in Silesia. The writers of the letter offered to pay whatever cost would be entailed to give this information, and enclosed one dollar to pay the expenses of this letter and the reply. The reply to this letter was to be sent to “Mr. Moritz Loeb Editor of the Morgenstein, Doylestown, Bucks Co., Pa., U. S. A.” 20 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families It was this letter that fell into the hands of Pastor Kadelbach who answered it in December of the same year, and which led to a correspondence from which he obtained the data for the chapter in his book entitled “Geschichte der Schwenkfelder in America von 1734-1860”. In May, 1860, Pastor Kadel¬ bach received a letter from the Schwenkfelders in America giving him a brief account of the Schwenk- f elders in Pennsylvania and seven photographs of homes of the Schwenkfelders in Pennsylvania. These photographs, together with all other papers and books relating to the Schwenkfelders that were in Pastor Kadelbach’s Library, have been kindly donated to the Historical Collection of the Schwenkfelders by the Pastors’ children. The book which the town of Gorlitz had printed in appreciation of the generosity of the Schwenk¬ felders is entitled: “Dankbare Erinnerung an die Gemeinde der Schwenkfelder zu Philadelphia in Nordamerika. Gorlitz 1816.” (Thankful Remembrances of the Schwenkfelder congregation in Philadelphia, in North America.) The town received a gift of 163 Rthlr. ‘‘Cono. Miinze” from the Schwenkfelders in America, for the relief of the poor and distressed resulting from the Napoleonic Wars. This gift was sent by the Schwenkfelders in memory of the protection given their forefathers in Gorlitz after their flight from Harpersdorf and vicinity in 1726. The town of Gorlitz published this book in memory of this gift and the author gives a brief account of Caspar Schwenkfeld and his teachings, and the persecution the Schwenkfelders endured and then enumerates the families of Schwenkfelders who came from Silesia to Gorlitz in 1726 as follows: From Harpersdorf, Feb. 21: Melchior Grubel, “Hausler und Handelsmann,” with wife and two children. Adam Wiegner, ‘‘Gartner und Handelsmann,” with wife and four children. Apr. 29: David Liebe, “Hausler und Handelsmann,” with wife and one child. George Scholze, “Bauer,” with wife and three children. Melchior Krause, “Bauer,” with wife and four children. From Armenruh, Feb. 21: George Wiegner, “Hausler,” with wife and four children. From Hockenau, Apr. 29: Melchior Hiibner, “arzt,” with wife and two children. Hanns Hiibner, a “Gartner,” with wife and three children. Melchior Neumann, “Gartner und Zimmerman,” with wife and one child. Dated at Gorlitz Feb. 20, 1816, by the Biirgermeister and Rathmanne. “DIE SCHWENKFELDER” by FEDOR SOMMER A teacher in one of the German gymnasiums and a contributor to some of the papers in Germany, having learned of the history of the persecution and migration of the Schwenkfelders to Pennsylvania, a few years before theWorld War wrote a novel in German in which are embodied the main facts con¬ cerning the history and migration of the Schwenkfelders. This book attracted a great deal of attention in Germany, as it contained quite a vivid description of the Lutheran Church at Harpersdorf, to¬ gether with an account of the fire which destroyed the Church from which the “Tauf-Engel” (wooden baptismal angel) was the only article of any value rescued. It is stated that many pastors in Germany recommended the reading of this book to their classes at the time of confirmation. The reading of the book and the description of the church and Tauf-Engel aroused so much interest that teachers would take their classes on a trip to see the church. A few of the copies of the book are available in this coun¬ try, but it has never been translated into English. Plate 1 Map showing Silesian towns from which the Schwenkfelders migrated.

Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 21 CHURCH ORGANIZATION From the time of the organization of the Church in 1782, up until 1911, the different districts were separately organized into conferences for the conducting of the business of the denomination as de¬ scribed in the preceding chapters. The organization, “The Society of Schwenkfelders,” was started in 1782, but the Church was not incorporated, indeed there was no incorporation of any of the organi¬ zations until troubles arising from the Edmund Flinn legacy caused this step to be taken. Mr. Flinn [vid. 154-5] having been benefited by the Charity Fund of the Schwenkfelders made a substantial bequest to the Society in his will. The will was contested by some of his distant relatives on the ground that no corporation of the Society of Schwenkfelders existed, therefore they were incompetent to re¬ ceive any bequest. The outgrowth of this contest was the incorporation of “The Managers of the Literary and Charity Funds of the Society of Schwenkfelders,” on May 18, 1842 [. Misc . Bk. 5:p 370, Norris¬ town, Pa.]. Owing to the expansion and growth of the various organizations of the Church, after the opening of Perkiomen Seminary it was deemed advisable to change the form of government. Whereas prior to 1851 the affairs of the Society were carried on without a printed form of Church rules, the increasing demand and the necessity for a change was met by Rev. Joshua Schultz who drafted what is called “Constitution der Schwenkfeldischen Gemeinschaft” and also the by-laws which were adopted October 19, 1850, and published in 1851, in German, under his editorship. The first English translation appeared in 1882. In 1894, a committee was appointed to revise and amend the constitution, as a result of which a revised formula of the Constitution was adopted in 1898, and again revised in 1901. In May, 1908, a further revision was deemed necessary and another committee was appointed to make whatever revi¬ sions were necessary and also to correct conflicting statements in the articles relative to the adminis¬ tration of the moneys in the Charity Fund. The fruits of the work of this Committee resulted in the adoption of the “Formula for the Government and Discipline of the Schwenkfelder Church,” as on Oct. 25, 1909, the organization was incorporated under the title, “The Schwenkfelder Church.” The new constitution was put into effect in 1911. Under this constitution the entire Church body is officially called the “Schwenkfelder Church” which is dominated by the General Conference of The Schwenkfelder Church, which is composed of all its members, and this is the governing body for the entire Church. Regular sessions of the General Conference are held twice a year, the third Saturday in May and the third Saturday in October, and its officers consist of the Moderator, Secretary, and Treasurer who, together with the trustees of each local district, constitute the “Board of Trustees of the Schwenkfelder Church.” Each district of the Church has its own district conference and elects its own officials, who look after the temporal and spiritual needs of the local church organization. All other boards such as the Mission Board, Board of Publication, and the Board of Charities are under the control of the General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church body. CHURCH EDIFICES Prior to the erection of church buildings formerly called “meeting houses,” divine services as well as church conferences were held in private homes, and, although a school house was erected in 1765, in Towamencin, buildings for strictly public worship were not erected for twenty-five years thereafter. HOSENSACK MEETING HOUSE The first place for public worship built by the Schwenkfelders in America was built of logs in the summer of 1790, where the present Hosensack meeting house now stands. The first services in this building were held August 8, 1790. At one end of this building a school-room was partitioned off, supplied with benches and tables, in which room the “Hosensack Academy” was conducted by the Schwenkfelders for a number of years, during which time the Schwenkfelder schools attained their highest distinction. In 1838 the log building was replaced by a more modern plain stone structure which was remodeled in 1893, and is still standing although abandoned for Church purposes since the new Palm Church was completed. 22 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families WASHINGTON MEETING HOUSE The second meeting: house was erected in 1791, near the village of Clayton, Berks County, and was known as the Washington Meeting House, although burials in the adjoining cemetery antedate the erection of the building, as the wife of Melchior Schultz who died in 1742, is buried there. The first services were held in this building on Memorial Day, Sept. 24, 1791, at which time Rev. Christopher Kriebel delivered a magnificent dedicatory address. In 1810 the adjoining burial plot was surrounded by a stone wall, and in 1824 a more modern building was erected against the protest of some of the members who thought it sacrilegious to destroy the old buildings and others who favored the erection of a new building in a more central location in the region of Palm, Pa. This movement culminated eighty- seven years later in the erection of the present Palm Church. In 1883 the Washington Meeting House was entirely remodeled, and after the completion of the Palm Church the building was torn down and a marker erected to indicate the spot where the pulpit had formerly stood; the stones from the walls of the building being used to enclose the entire plot with a handsome stone wall. KRAUSSDALE MEETING HOUSE The first Kraussdale meeting house was built in 1825 although it is claimed by some that the first building was erected in 1815, and here, as in Washington, burials of Schwenkfelders on the Krauss “farm” had taken place for many years prior to the erection of this building. The first building erected here was used for both school purposes and for divine worship. It was a rough stone building with the joints painted white. In 1875 the old stone building was replaced by the present brick structure, which was remodeled in 1900, and was abandoned in 1911 when the new Palm Church was dedicated. THE NEW PALM CHURCH The demand for better Sunday School facilities was the climax which brought about the erection of the Palm Church. Ever since the three churches were erected it was customary to have alternate preaching services in the different churches from Sunday to Sunday. This meant services in each meeting house were held but once in three weeks, with a Sunday School session preceding the preaching services. Thus practically a different group of Sunday School children assembled at each building, as very few were able to attend the session on each Sabbath on account of the geographical location of the Church edifices. When therefore in 1909, in order to modernize the Sunday School, at a district conference the pastor offered a resolution to the effect that additions be built to the old meeting houses in order to provide better facilities for conducting the Sunday Schools, various members opposed the spending of any more money on the old buildings, and the motion was voted down unanimously. Another motion was then made that a new house of worship, centrally located, with ample accommodations for Sunday School purposes, be erected. Thus a movement started eighty-five years before, and which was agi¬ tated every time repairs to the old buildings were made, was brought to a climax, and the handsome new church at Palm was erected at a cost of approximately $65,000.00, with the entire amount pledged at the time of dedication, which took place September 24, 1911. [For further data re Upper District Churches, vid. Schwenkfeldian, Vol. VIII, p 189 ; Schwenkfelders in Pa. — Kriebel, pp 82-3.] SALFORD MEETING HOUSE The present Schwenkfelder meeting house at Lower Salford was erected in 1869. Although this is the first meeting house erected on this spot a school house previously stood to the north of the present structure in which a school was conducted for many years. Rev. George Meschter, Sr., who served this Church faithfully was the last active pastor. The older Schwenkfelders in the vicinity of the church dying, and many of their children marrying outside of the denomination, the attendance dwindled so that services were finally conducted but once in three weeks during the summer time and these were conducted in the German language. In 1920, Isaac Kriebel, who owned the farm adjoining this property and who had cared for the church and cemetery for so many years, died. He was the last active Schwenkfelder in the congregation, and since his death regular services have been discontinued. Memorial services in memory of the pioneer Schwenkfelders who lie buried in the adjoining cemetery are now held in the meeting house on the afternoon of the first Sunday in August of each year. Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 23 In the adjoining cemetery lie buried five Schwenkfelder ministers — George Weiss, Balzer Hoffman, Christopher Hoffman, Christopher Kriebel, and George Meschter. Tradition states that a number of Indians are buried in the unmarked row of graves in the middle of the cemetery. TOWAMENCIN MEETING HOUSE The first meeting house in the so-called Lower District (now Middle or Central) was built in 1793, near where the present edifice stands. It is likely that this building replaced the school house erected there in 1765. This building was made of logs, pebble dashed, with gable ends, weather boarded and painted red. There was a portico in front with seats on each side. The first services were held there on July 21, 1793. In 1854 this building was replaced by a stone structure which did service until 1893, when the present handsome brick edifice was erected a short distance from the older building on the opposite side of the road. The new building contains a commodious basement with room divisions for Sunday School purposes. The floor of the main room is built amphitheatre style so that a good view of the pulpit is commanded. The building was dedicated free of debt with a surplus left in the treasury of the building committee. WORCESTER MEETING HOUSE In 1836 the first Worcester Schwenkfelder Meeting House was erected on the spot where the present edifice stands. It was dedicated September 25, 1836. It is said that $25.00 was the largest individual subscription made to the building fund. In 1882 the present modern church building was erected to replace the first structure. It is said to have cost $6,000.00 and was dedicated free of debt according to the prevailing Schwenkfelder cus¬ tom. This building was the first Schwenkfelder Church structure to contain a basement for Sunday School purposes. This innovation met with vigorous opposition on the part of many members. THE FIRST SCHWENKFELDER CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA The present Schwenkfelder Church of Phila. was started as a Sunday School Mission on Uber St., between 19th and 20th, in the fall of 1895, with Elmer K. Schultz as Sunday School Superintendent. This Sunday School Mission, which was the first missionary effort of the Board of Home and Foreign Missions of the Schwenkfelder Church in the home field, continued under the jurisdiction of the Mission Board until May, 1899, when the First Schwenkfelder Church of Philadelphia was regularly organized and received into membership of the General Conference as a “District” of the Church. The Sunday School on Uber St. was closed in the spring of 1896, after one season of work, but was opened again on the first Sunday in December, 1896, in the Thomas Building at Ridge Ave. and 31st St., with Elmer E. S. Johnson, then a student at Princeton University, as Superintendent. The Thomas Building continued as the home of the “mission” until the summer of 1898, when the lot at 30th and Cumberland Sts. was purchased and all services were held in a tent erected on the lot until the last Sunday of October, 1898, when the present edifice was dedicated with three special services which marked a memorable epoch in the annals of the Schwenkfelder Church, as it must be regarded as the first permanent step in the direction of church expansion in the Schwenkfelder denomination. On November 19, 1898, the church was organized with seventeen charter members, and the Moderator, Dr. James M. Anders, and Secretary, Samuel A. Seipt, have served continuously in that capacity to the present day. For about a year previous to the dedication of the Church, preaching services were held semi¬ monthly, mostly by supplies from other districts, but the only organized work conducted up to that time was that of the Sunday School. Not having a sufficient supply of ministers amongst the Schwenk¬ felder denomination, the Board of Missions was obliged to look to other denominations to supply the pulpit, until it was able to select a pastor of the Schwenkfelder faith. The following is a list of pastors who served the Church: May 1899 — Oct. 1900; Rev. A. N. Stubblebine of the Reformed Church. Mar. 1901— Aug. 1902; Rev. H. A. Bomberger of the Reformed Church (acting pastor). Sept. 1902 — June 1904; Rev. Elmer E. S. Johnson of Schwenkfelder Church. July 1904 — Oct. 1905; Harvey K. Heebner, Stated Supply. Jan. 1906 — May 1906; Rev. David W. Ebbert, D.D., of the Reformed Church (acting pastor). 24 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families During the intervening periods when the Church was without a pastor the pulpit was filled with supplies, sometimes by ministers of other denominations, and other times by laymen of the Schwenk¬ felder Church. Since June, 190G, the pastor has been Rev. Harvey K. Heebner, who was formally installed as pastor on Sunday evening, Sept. 23, 1906. Rev. Heebner was graduated from the Union Theological Seminary in May, 1906. For the year 1921 the Philadelphia Church reported the following membership to the General Conference: Church Members . 390 Members of Sunday School . 519 Collection — Church . $3569 . 38 Collection — Sunday School . $829 . 32 Valuation of Church Property $10,000.00 NORRISTOWN CHURCH The first religious services of the Schwenkfelders held in Norristown were conducted in a private house on Feb. 7, 1904, and on Feb. 21, a Sunday School was organized in one of the public school build¬ ings, which was followed by preaching services. Services in the schoolhouse continued until June, 1905, when the first services were held in the edifice at Marshall and George Streets which had been purchased by the Schwenkfelder Mission Board from the Grace Lutheran Church denomination. This is the only instance in the history of the Church that the Schwenkfelders purchased a building of another denomin¬ ation. The building is modernly equipped with class rooms for Sunday School purposes and has an adequate pipe organ. The Norristown mission was the second one established by the Mission Board of the Church. In 1917 the mission became an independent church. Statistics of the Norristown Church for 1921: Church Members . . . 148 Total Collections . $ 2,262.96 Valuation of Church Property . $10,000.00 The Sunday School had an enrollment of 286, with collections amounting to $452.89. LANSDALE MISSION A Sunday School was opened in Lansdale in Music Hall on Mar. 26, 1916, under the jurisdiction of the Mission Board. The mission grew very rapidly and with so much enthusiasm that the quarters soon became so crowded that it was necessary to find new accommodations. Land was purchased at the corner of Main St. and Towamencin Avenue. Ground for a new building was broken in June, 1917, and the building itself was completed by December of the same year, but on account of the war conditions the pews could not be obtained until April, 1918. The Church was dedicated May 5, 1918, free of debt as the entire cost was pledged on that day. The building is built of stone, of fine proportions, with a seating capacity of 330, and is well equipped for Church and Sunday School pur¬ poses, and contains a commodious basement. It is still organized as a mission, and for 1921 reported a Church membership of 85; a Sunday School membership of 330; with Church property valued at $30,000.00. The above constitute the entire Schwenkfelder Church congregations, as the Church as such exists only in Eastern Pennsylvania and consists of but four church organizations, and the Lansdale mission. There are no Schwenkfelder organizations in Europe. Early in 1800 the group of Schwenkfelders living in Chestnut Hill and vicinity petitioned the General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church to establish English preaching services in Chestnut Hill. After due deliberation the Conference decided to comply with this request providing the services be conducted in the German language, but the petitioners would not recede from their desire to have English services, and the project was abandoned, and thus the opportunity to establish a Sehwenk- felder Church in Philadelphia was not grasped by the leaders of the denomination of that period. It was almost one hundred years afterwards that the newly organized Mission Board of the Schwenkfelder Church heeded a second call and established services conducted in English. Services in the English language were first introduced in the Worcester Church in the early 80’s, and this church was the first to discontinue the use of German. At the present time services are con¬ ducted exclusively in the English language in all the churches, with the exception of Palm and To¬ wamencin, where services are still occasionally conducted in the German language. Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 25 BOARD OF MISSIONS The American Board of Home and Foreign Missions of the Schwenkfelder Church of the United States of America held its first meeting, and was formally organized on June 14, 1895. Whereas the Church, preceding that time, had been interested in missions to the extent of making contributions to various missionary enterprises, there was no formal organization in the Church to look after this phase of the work. The organization of the Mission Board marks the beginning of the expansion of the Schwenkfelder Church. Since its organization it has established missions in Philadelphia, Norristown and Lansdale; and it has sent two of its own members as missionaries to the foreign field. Miss Flora K. Heebner [199-5] left for China August 17, 1904, and was joined a number of years later by Daisy Geliman Fairfield [38-348]. Since 1918 the Board is also contributing to the support of Miss Gladys Williams of Oberlin College who has joined the mission force in Shansi, China, and has been adopted as a missionary of our denomination. Miss Williams was born in TaiKu, China, where her father was killed by the Boxers in 1900. Since Miss Heebner went to China she has been home on two furloughs and has organized mission schools throughout the province of Shansi. The Schwenk- felders have two mission buildings in China; one the “William Yeakel Meschter Memorial Home” for the women teachers which was built from a legacy of one thousand dollars left by Mr. Meschter to the Board of Missions, the first legacy the Board ever received. Since that time a school building has been built by Miss Heebner with a fund made up by special gifts of her friends here in America. This mission station is established in the region where the missionaries were killed by the Boxers during the Boxer uprising in 1900. In addition to mission work in China the Board also makes contributions for the support of missionaries in other foreign countries. OTHER SCHWENKFELDER INSTITUTIONS THE CHARITY FUND The Charity Fund of the Schwenkfelder Church had its origin before their arrival in Pennsylvania. As told in the preceding chapter the von Buyssant family paid the passage way of the immigrants of 1734 to Philadelphia thus freeing them from the slavery of the redemptioner, and in addition gave them a purse of 224 Rix dollars to aid the poor among them after their arrival in the new world. This was the beginning of the Charity Fund of the Schwenkf elders in Pennsylvania. No records have been found to show how this fund was used during the first winter in their new home. In 1763, after the death of Dr. Abraham Wagner, it was found that he bequeathed one-third of his estate to the poor and needy, not only to Schwenkfelders, but to other denominations also. The sum bequeathed amounted to 448 pounds, 12 shillings, and pence. In 1768 is found the first instance which led to the establishment of the Schwenkfelder Charity Fund as it is called today. From 1774 to 1778 we find the Charity Fund benefiting by the Wagner bequest. Since then the fund has been increased year by year by gifts, donations and bequests. Ever since 1790 separate accounts of the Charity Fund were kept in every district. This method continued until the consolidation of the Church in 1911, when it was taken over by the General Con¬ ference and a board of five managers was appointed to manage this fund. For the year of 1921 there was reported a balance in the Charity Fund of $8,684.04. MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES According to the custom established by the immigrant Schwenkfelders on September 24, 1734, when they assembled in Philadelphia and held a thanksgiving service in memory of their safe arrival in this country the practice has been continued ever since. Every year on September 24 (unless that day should fall on a Sunday, when the exercises are held on the preceding Saturday) an all-day service is held in one of the churches belonging to the denomination, at which time the early history of the per¬ secutions of the Schwenkfelders and an account of their migration and settlement in this country are rehearsed by the speakers. Even during the dark days of the Revolution when the British were in possession of Philadelphia these services were held, although in the year 1777 services were held for a half day only on account of the proximity of British soldiers. It is stated that at the first services in Philadelphia, for the noon meal, bread, butter, apple butter, and cider were served. The same custom prevails up to this time excepting that water has been substituted for cider. The one hundred and eighty-seventh annual memorial 26 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families day services were held in the Palm Church on September 24, 1921. The services were formerly called “Gedaechtnisz-Tag” services which has been modernized into “Memorial Day Services.” SUNDAY SCHOOLS The Schwenkfelders have always emphasized the idea of home instruction for their children. George Weiss was appointed teacher or leader while on the journey to Pennsylvania and he was suc¬ ceeded by other Schwenkfelder ministers in turn. While there were no Sunday School organizations at this time, still the children were given Biblical instruction by the “Lehrer” (teachers). After the church structures were erected regular catechetical instruction for the young was instituted. This was called “Kinder Lehr” and was frequently conducted by a layman. The class met on alternate Sunday afternoons. Towards the middle of the last century the custom of giving children instruction in re¬ ligion and the Scriptures in the home seemed to be dying out, and the leaders of the denomination deemed it necessary to devise some other means in which such knowledge could be imparted. The general conclusion was to organize a Sunday School. Since the literature of the Church at that time was all in the German language and German was no longer taught in the day schools, the fathers con¬ ceived the idea of organizing Sunday Schools in which the German language would be exclusively taught. With this idea in mind a meeting was held in the Towamencin Meeting House, March 16, 1861, for the purpose of considering the feasibility of organizing a Sunday School in the Lower District. The conservatives of the denomination opposed this scheme very strongly as they thought it would break up the catechetical classes, and they also thought the children would be in more danger of growing up in worldliness and fashion. As the progressives prevailed the first session of the Sunday School was held May 10, 1861, in the Towamencin Meeting House. A Sunday School was also organized in the Worcester Church in the same manner with Rev. Reuben Kriebel as superintendent, all services being conducted in the German language. It is stated that this Sunday School continued during the summer until 1863, when a large number of the younger element insisted on having the English language used in the Sunday School while the older members desired to continue the German. This division of senti¬ ment closed the school for a time. It is stated that finally those desiring the English language used prevailed and the Sunday School was again opened in 1864, with David S. Heebner as superintendent. The Towamencin Sunday School has had continuous summer sessions since 1861, and in 1911 cele¬ brated the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the school, at which time thirty of those present were original members of the first Sunday School session. In the Towamencin Sunday School the German language was used exclusively in conducting the exercises until 1888, when English was introduced, but some of the classes still continued the use of the German language. The use of the organ to accom¬ pany the Sunday School singing was first begun in 1880. In the Upper District the first Sunday School in that section was held in the Kraussdale Meeting House on April 8, 1877. Two years later a school was opened in the Hosensack Meeting House and in the following year a school was organized with the same officers in the Washington Meeting House. These schools continued their sessions until they were combined with the one Sunday School in the new Palm Church, where the first session was held October 11, 1911. Mr. Daniel Y. Meschter served as superintendent of this school from the spring of 1886 until May 28, 1917. It is an interesting fact that in all the missions established by the Schwenkfelders, the Sunday School preceded the establishment of the church, whereas the original meeting houses were established with preaching services before the Sunday Schools were organized. LADIES’ AID AND C. E. SOCIETIES The first Ladies’ Aid Society of the Schwenkfelder Church was organized Oct. 11, 1898, in the Upper District. Since that time Ladies’ Aid Societies have been organized in Philadelphia, Middle District, and Norristown, all of which are in a flourishing condition. The first Christian Endeavor Society was organized in the Kraussdale Church, March 25, 1894, with Elmer E. S. Johnson as president. Since that time Christian Endeavor Societies have been or¬ ganized in all the other churches and missions. The Middle District also supports a Woman’s Christian Temperance Union which has had a period of more than twenty-five years of active work. THE BOARD OF PUBLICATION OF THE SCHWENKFELDER CHURCH At the annual Memorial Day services held in the Worcester Church, Sept. 24, 1884, a plea was made by one of the speakers that all the works of Caspar Schwenckfeld be collected and published. Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 27 Following out this plea soon after, a committee was appointed by General Conference to consider this proposition. This was the beginning of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church which was later incorporated and it now has jurisdiction over all the publications of the Schwenkfelder Church. CORPUS SCHWENCKFELDIANORUM The greatest undertaking of the Board was the project to collect, edit, and publish the complete works of Caspar von Schwenckfeld, a task which has grown to be monumental. This work is now being published jointly by the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church and Hartford Theological Seminary, and is to consist of seventeen volumes of an encyclopedic size, of which six are already in print under the title of “Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum,” and which project has already cost the Board of Publication more than one hundred thousand dollars. This is to be followed by a one volume edition in English giving the biography of Caspar von Schwenckfeld. The work was started by Chester David Hartranft, D.D., [49-320], formerly president of Hartford Theological Seminary, who was selected as editor-in-chief of this publication and who had his headquarters in Wolfenbiittel, Germany, where he died in 1914 [ vid . Schwenkfeldian, Vol. XII., pp Dr. Hartranft was succeeded as editor-in- chief by his associate editor, Dr. Elmer E. S. Johnson [68-58], who continued his editorial labors in Germany until April of 1919, when he brought all his Corpus material to America and stored it in the Schwenkfelder Historical Library Building at Pennsburg, Pennsylvania. The library is now the editorial home of the Corpus. The Board of Publication also has charge of the publication of the “Schwenkfeldian,’’ the Church paper. The publication of this Genealogical Record is also under its jurisdiction as well as other church publications. THE SCHWENKFELDIAN “The Schwenkfeldian” is the official organ of the Schwenkfelder Church. It was first started by Rev. E. E.‘ S. Johnson when he was pastor of the Philadelphia Schwenkfelder Church in the interest of the First Schwenkfelder Church in Philadelphia. The first issue appeared December, 1903, with the following editorial staff: Rev. E. E. S. Johnson, Editor Allen A. Seipt, Associate Editor C. M. Gilbert, Jr., Business Manager Alex. S. Day, Circulation Manager This publication was continued in this way until Rev. Johnson was appointed assistant editor of the Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum, and left for Germany in June, 1904, to assume his duties. Samuel K. Brecht was then appointed acting editor during the absence of Mr. Johnson, and J- Leidy Anders was made assistant business manager. The paper was published under this Editorial Staff until June, 1905, when the General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church by official action took over the paper and made it the official organ of the Church. The paper has been published as a monthly magazine in the interest of the various churches since that time. On account of the arduous duties of the Editor in connection with the editing of the Genealogical Record of the-Schwenkfelders, Rev. Harvey K. Heebner was made acting editor of the paper in 1920, and it is now issued from Thirtieth and Cumberland Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and has the following staff: Samuel K. Brecht, Editor Rev. Harvey K. Heebner, Acting Editor Rev. Levi S. Hoffman Rev. Robert J. Gottschall Rev. E. E. S. Johnson Miss Flora K. Heebner Associate Editors Contributing Editors In addition to publishing the monthly news pertaining to the various Schwenkfelder Churches, the Schwenkfeldian, during its period of existence, has printed on its pages a large amount of historical data connected with the Schwenkfelders, and its circulation extends to many states of the union as well as to several foreign countries. 28 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families THE SCHWENKFELDER HISTORICAL LIBRARY The Schwenkfelder Historical Library at Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, is also under the jurisdiction of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church. The project to erect a fire-proof building to store the precious books and manuscripts found in the Schwenkfelder families was thought of many years ago. As a matter of fact the idea was suggested at different times more than fifty years before the project was completed. The Schwenkf elders brought with them from Europe many books which they prized very highly and which were carefully preserved from generation to generation. The idea of having a permanent home for these valuable objects was in the minds of the leaders of the denomination for many years. After the taking over of Perkiomen Seminary by the Schwenkfelders a room in the gymnasium was provided for storing these papers temporarily. It was only after the magnificent donation of Andrew Carnegie of twenty thousand dollars for the erection of a fire-proof library building that the dream of having a permanent home for the Schwenkfelder archives began to be a reality. As a result of this donation together with an endowment of an equal amount which was provided by friends and members of the denomination, it was possible to erect the handsome two-story fire-proof building at Pennsburg, Pa., the second floor of which contains the rare collection of Schwenkfeldiana and other relics that are prized so highly. In addition to having the building fire-proof it also contains a vault which is doubly fire-proof extending from cellar to roof. It is in this vault that the rarest documents and relics are stored. The main floor of this building contains the reading room and reference and circulating library which belongs to Perkiomen School and the basement provides class rooms and laboratories for class work. Perkiomen School holds the unique distinction of being the only exception to Andrew Carnegie’s rule not to erect libraries for other than institutions of collegiate grade. It is the only secondary school in the country which benefited in this manner by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity. THE SCHWENCKFELD BIBLE The two most highly prized relics reposing in the Schwenkfelder Historical Library at Pennsburg are the original Ship List of the St. Andrew and the German Bible used by Caspar Schwenckfeld which contains his autograph and also marginal notes in his own handwriting. This Bible was printed at Worms in 1529, and this edition is the first of the combination Bibles to appear in the German language after the beginning of the Reformation. It is known as the “Worms Bible,” and antedates the complete Luther Bible by three years. In 1890 the late Dr. Chester D. Hartranft located this Bible in Europe and through the generosity of the late Anthony H. Seipt it was immediately purchased, at a cost of $525.00, the church afterwards reimbursing Mr. Seipt for his outlay. [For a full account of the history and acquisition of this Bible see “ The Schwenkf eldian," Vol. VI, pp 3-5.] EDUCATION AMONG THE SCHWENKFELDERS That the immigrant Schwenkfelders were of a high type of intelligence is shown by the fact that very few of them made “their mark” at the time of taking the Pledge of Allegiance. Soon after their arrival in America evidence has been found to show that they were very much concerned not only regarding the religious but also the secular education of their children. During the first few years it is probable that their religious leaders gave instruction to the children in secular matters as well as in spiritual. From the biography of Rev. Christopher Schultz written by his son, David, we know that even before coming to this country Christopher Schultz went regularly, two to three times a week, to George Weiss to receive instruction in the languages. This instruction likely continued after their arrival in Pennsylvania. After the death of George Weiss his successor, Rev. Balzer Hoffman, con¬ tinued this instruction. Letters are extant showing that Balzer Hoffman gave Christopher Schultz lessons in Hebrew by correspondence (vid. Balzer Hoffman [106-2]). We are justified in concluding that this was not the only instance of Balzer Hoffman giving instruction to the young. In the year 1764 there seemed to be quite a demand for Schwenkfelders to establish a school system in order to instruct the young. The necessity for such schools was laid before the heads of families at a meeting held in March, 1764, when a paper was written asking for the pledge of funds for the support of the schools. In June another meeting was held when articles of agreement were adopted and the system was in¬ augurated. The following is a list of names of the subscribers and supporters of this proposed school system, together with the amounts of money subscribed by each: Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 29 Christopher Schultz .... . . . £50 a loan Casper Kribel . . . . . £50 a loan George Schultz . ... 30 George Kribel, Jun. . . . . . . . 30 4 < George Schultz, Jun . . . . ... 50 “ Abraham Kribel . . . . . 30 44 Melchior Schultz . ... 50 “ George Anders Sen .... 5 4 < Barbara Yeakel . . . . 40 George Anders, Jun. . . . . . . . 20 4 4 Andreas Warmer . ... 20 Melcher Krebel . . . . . 20 4 4 David Schultz . ... 10 Casper Seibt . . . . . 30 a Christoph Krause . ... 40 Christoph Neumann. . . . . . . 20 44 Christoph Yeakel . ... 50 “ David Neuman . . . . . 25 4 4 Balthasar Krause . ... 10 Heinrich Schneider .... . . . . 20 4 4 Johannes Yeakel . ... 50 “ Abraham Yeakel . . . . . 20 44 George Heydrich . 6 a donation Gregorius Schultz . . . . . 20 4 4 George Kriebel .

Two schools were opened in the fall of 1764. One school was conducted for six months in the home of Christopher Schultz by John Davis at a salary of 20 pounds and board for the term ; another school was established in the home of George Anders of Towamencin and taught by John Doerbaum for the sum of 10 pounds, board, light and fuel. These schools were continued with practically an unbroken record until 1823, when the opening of the public schools by the state removed the great necessity for having denominational schools. [For further account of the Schwenkfelder Schools vid. Schwenkf elders in Pennsylvania — Kriebel, pp 120-138.} From this time on, up to the purchase of Perkiomen Seminary by the Schwenkf elders, the denomi¬ nation as such did not have schools of its own as the public schools of the state provided sufficient op¬ portunity for the education of the children. PERKIOMEN SEMINARY NOW PERKIOMEN SCHOOL Perkiomen Seminary was founded in 1875 by Rev. Charles S. Wieand [11-130], and was continued under his management for a period of ten years. After Rev. Wieand left the school to assume the regu¬ lar duties of the ministry the property frequently changed hands and it was finally found necessary to close its doors because of lack of sufficient patronage. During the year 1891 the project of having the Schwenkfelder denomination establish a private school, where their children and the youth of the com¬ munity might secure additional facilities for education than those that were provided in the public schools was again agitated. At the fall General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church held in the Worcester Church on October 9, 1891, a resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a com¬ mittee to make an investigation as to the feasibility of establishing a school for secondary education under the jurisdiction of the Schwenkfelder Church. The committee made a canvass of the situation and at the next spring General Conference held on May 14, 1892 the committee made a very optimistic report to the effect that total subscriptions amounting to $9,317.50 had been secured; that the owner of the Perkiomen Seminary property had accepted an offer of $3,500.00 for the buildings. The committee presented a set of resolutions outlining the general principles under which the school should be con¬ ducted, and which was accepted by the General Conference, and a Board of Trustees was elected to conduct the school. The following were constituted as the first Board of Trustees: Henry K. Gerhard, Benneville S. Shultz, Samuel Dresher, John S. Heebner, ex officio as trustees of the Literary Fund. Howard W. Kriebel, Edwin K. Schultz, Charles S. Anders, Jesse S. Krieble, by election of the General Conference. Michael Iv. Gilbert, Isaac B. Yeakel, M.D., John G. Hersch, M.D., Rev. A. S. Schelly, by appoint¬ ment. These men, together with the principal, were to serve as a board of trustees for the management of the school. In the meantime the committee who had charge of the movement had elected as their principal, Rev. Oscar S. Kriebel. The school was opened for its first term on October 3, 1892, with the following faculty: 30 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families Rev. Oscar S. Kriebel, A.M., Principal, teacher of languages and rhetoric. Rev. E. B. Clemmer, Vice-principal, teacher of history and natural sciences. Howard W. Kriebel, M. E., teacher of mathematics. Mrs. Oscar S. Kriebel, teacher of music. The General Conference of the Schwenkfelder Church had stipulated that the school should be run for a period of five years, and if at the end of that time there was not sufficient demand for the continua¬ tion of the school it was to be abandoned, and after all the debts had been paid the balance was to be returned to the subscribers. The first day showed an enrollment of nineteen pupils, all day students but three. During the first year there was a total enrollment of ninety-six pupils and one graduate. Whereas many doubted the wisdom of opening a school in this vicinity the result of the first year’s work indicated, as was in¬ corporated in a report of the principal, the need for such an institution: “There is evidently room in the community for a school of advanced standing.” “The number of students enrolled, the cheerful words frequently expressed and the attendance at the closing exercises were very encouraging. Few projects that have been brought forth in the neigh¬ borhood have received a more hearty endorsement and support by all parties.” The attendance of the school grew so rapidly that by June, 1895, the trustees, principal, teachers, and pupils all felt so cramped in the very small quarters, that it was necessary to secure enlarged accommodations. The sum of $20,000.00 was subscribed for renovations and for additions to be made to the building. These improvements were accordingly made and provided for additional accommoda¬ tion for more than a hundred students. From the very beginning the school has grown rapidly and has attracted students from all parts of Pennsylvania, from various other states of the union and from a number of foreign countries. In 1902, at the time of the celebration of the tenth anniversary the school had a total enrollment for the year of 302 with a graduating class of 34, and a teaching force of 30 regu¬ lar teachers. At the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the school in June, 1922, it was reported that during the period of its existence the school had a total enrollment of 3,500 students, coming from eighteen different states of the union and thirteen foreign countries. Of its more than 1,200 graduates 800 or more have entered college. Many students have attended higher institutions of learning among which are the best colleges and universities, technical and professional schools in the country. Accord¬ ing to statistics recently compiled they have made a record for scholarship and general ability out of all proportion to their numbers. Perkiomen School has honor men, prize winners, and influential leaders in college life in almost every college and university in the country. Practically fifty per cent of the student body enrolled from Perkiomen School is included in the list of honor men and college leaders. A study of the catalog shows that during the last twenty years Perkiomen School has had a higher per¬ centage of students at Princeton University who obtained highest standing in classes, achieved scholar¬ ships, and fraternal honors, than any other public high school or secondary school in the United States. The explanation of this record is given in the character of the student body which has an unusually large percentage of able, ambitious, mature, hard working, and enterprising students. This, together with the fact that they are taught in small groups and given personal attention, is given as the explana¬ tion of the unsurpassed record made by Perkiomen students in scholarship at the .various universities. Ever since its opening Perkiomen School has had an unusually large number of self-supporting students who were obliged to perform manual labor in order to raise funds to secure their education, and who would never have had the opportunity to enter higher institutions of learning had they not been priv¬ ileged to attend a school of this kind and ascertained that it was possible for young men to go through college and support themselves while doing so. It has always been the aim of the principal, Dr. Kriebel, that Perkiomen School should throw its doors open to any deserving boy or girl who had ambitions for higher education, and the unsurpassed success of students who have been given this privilege is suffi¬ cient proof that such opportunities are appreciated. Situated in the beautiful Perkiomen Valley about fifty miles from Philadelphia, the school is ideally located. It is too far away from a large city to have its students diverted from their books by outside attractions. Although Perkiomen Seminary was originally co-educational, a few years ago, following the changes found necessary in all preparatory schools, it was decided to make it a prepara¬ tory school for boys and the name was changed to Perkiomen School in September, 1916, so that at the present time there are no boarding girls in the building, although a limited number of girls from the community attend classes as day students. The success of Perkiomen School as an educational institution is entirely due to its enthusiastic and optimistic principal, backed by a loyal board of trustees. Through all the trials and tribulations and difficulties which have accompanied the history of Perkiomen School since its beginning, the op- Genealogical Record of the Sciiwenkfelder Families 31 timism and high ideals set for the institution by its principal have never wavered and, although hercu¬ lean obstacles many times presented themselves, they have been successfully overcome. After the close of the World War it was proposed to raise a Victory and Thanksgiving Fund of $150,000.00 in order to cancel the existing deficit of the institution which accumulated during the troublesome war years, and also provide scholarships for the benefit of deserving young men who have no other means of obtaining an education. On Commencement Day, 1922, there was an announcement made that the aggregate amount raised by all interested parties was $109,000.00. i 32 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families SUMMARY OF STATISTICS, FOR THE YEAR 1921, REPORTED TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE SCHWENKFELDER CHURCH, HELD IN THE PALM CHURCH, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922.

As a result of this idea an organization named “The Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles” was organized in Philadelphia on February 8, 1921, with one hundred and twenty-five charter members. The objects of the society are enumerated in the following extracts from the constitution: Section II. “The objects of this Society are the preservation of the history of the Schwenkfelder religious exiles, and of their descendants in America, and the promotion of social intercourse among its members now and hereafter.” Section III. “Any loyal American citizen of good character, a descendant through one or both parents, of the Schwenkfelder immigrants who came to Pennsylvania between 1731 and 1737, shall be eligible to membership.” So little is generally known of the reasons for the migration of the Schwenkfelders to this country, and the part played by them and their descendants in American development, that the following brief statement is made : The Schwenkfelders were and still are a Protestant religious sect, founded by Caspar von Schwenckfeld, a Silesian nobleman, who was a contemporary of Martin Luther in the period from 1490 to 1561, and who founded the movement known as the “Reformation by the Middle Way.” In 1719, an imperial edict sent two Jesuit priests into Silesia to convert the Schwenkfelders to Catholicism. In 1726 a number of Schwenkfelder families fled to Saxony, taking with them only what possessions they could carry, where they were protected by Count Zinzendorf, the Moravian leader. In 1733 Count Zinzendorf was informed that he could no longer protect them, but that they would be given one year’s time in which to seek a new haven. Declining to accompany Zinzendorf to Georgia, where he planned to found a Moravian Colony, the Schwenkfelders, early in 1734, decided to come to Pennsylvania, where several members of the Schultz family had already located. The main body of the Schwenkfelders. consisting of 184 souls, arrived in Phila¬ delphia September 22, 1734, on the ship St. Andrew. Realizing the loss to Silesia by the departure of the Schwenkfelders, in 1742, Frederick the Great, by proclamation, asked them to return, promising restoration of rights and possessions. The Schwenkfelders declined to return. The motives which led them to emigrate were the desire for religious and personal liberty, and to escape the per¬ secutions which were upon them because of their devotion to these principles. They and their descendants partici¬ pated in the American War of the Revolution and in all subsequent wars in which America has been involved. They have ever shown a devotion to the country of their adoption, unsurpassed by any other body of pioneers seeking the American shores. Their history and deeds have not been properly recorded. The Society of “The Descendants of the Schwenk¬ feldian Exiles” has been formed to the end that the memory of the original immigrants shall be perpetuated; that their principles and virtues may be better understood, and that the participation by them and their descendants in the development of American ideals and purposes shall be better known, not only to the members of the Society, but also to all other true Americans. The membership dues of the Society are three dollars per annum in advance. There is no initiation fee. Applica¬ tion for membership should be sent to the Secretary DR. J. E.

Altogether six groups of Schwenkfelders migrated to Pa. from 1731 to 1737. The term “migra¬ tions” is here used to designate ancestry rather than religious affiliation, and although the largest group arrived in 1734, generally speaking this is the group thought of when speaking of the Schwenk¬ felder Migrations. In the following pages the emigrant groups are arranged in chronological order. For convenience of reference the emigrants have been numbered consecutively, and beginning with those who started from Europe, the letter “E” is prefixed before each who started for Pa.; and the letter “F” following the number designates the Family Number where each emigrant’s name will be found. In the Third Migration the numbers preceding the names correspond to the numbers in the “Stedman True List.” Numbers 59, 60, 61, and 62 are omitted as these were not Schwenkfelder names Numbers E 4, E 5, and E 6 have also been left blank, as it has not been possible to determine the names of more than ten of the thirteen person mentioned by David Schultz. It is hoped that future research may bring to light the missing names. The letter “A” preceding the names indicates that the immigrant signed the Oath of Allegiance. FIRST MIGRATION.

Of these Melchior Krauss, Sr., died very suddenly on May 28, at Haarlem. The day following, May 29, the company was joined by John Klemm and five others. About the same time that George Schultz [E 7] started for Pennsylvania his son Christopher, twin brother of his son George [E 1], started for the East Indies. Tradition has it that Johann and Gottlob Klemm were Schwenkfelders, but it has been impossible to confirm this tradition. Schneider, in his records in 1732, writes Klampt will kein Schwenkfelder sein. (Klampt says he is not a Schwenkfelder.) Is this Klampt a Klemm? It has been stated that Johann K. Klemm built the first organ in Philadelphia in 1741, and we know that a John G. Klem, a native of Dresden, Germany, assisted in the building of organs in Phila¬ delphia between 1740 and 1750, but it has been impossible to show that this was the Johann Klemm Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families 35 who came over with the group of Schwenkfelders in 1733, although they are mentioned at various times in the diary of the voyage by David Schultz, which would seem to indicate that they belong to the Schwenkfelder group. However, it is possible that they were Moravians. It is hoped that further investigation may place these men definitely in their proper place. THE JOURNEY OF THE SCHWENKFELDERS. (Extracts from a translation of a German manuscript in the Library of the Historical Society of Pa., “Reise Be- schreibung,” and is supposed to have been written by David Scholtze.) Account of the journeyings of a party of thirteen from Herrnhut to Amsterdam and Haarlem in Holland by way of Dresden, Magdeburg, Hamburg, and Altona, Furthermore A relation of the voyage of nineteen persons from Haarlem by Rotterdam and over the sea to Plymouth and on across the ocean to Pennsylvania, and finally to Philadelphia. Herein may be learned how we fared by land and water and on the great ocean. The dates are given in accordance with the improved calendar. Deo Gratia Anno 1733, 19th, April, Sunday, Miser Dom we all left Berthelsdorf at noon-day. The day before Melchior Krauss came to us from Hennersdorf so that our company numbered altogether thirteen persons. Balthasar Jackel (Yeakle) and Friedrich Wagner conducted us to Pirna. This day we journeyed from Berthelsdorf with much luggage, through Kunnersdorf, Kiistelsdorf, Friedricksdorf, and Spremberg to Neusalz, our first night’s resting-place, two German miles. May 8. We arrived early at Hamburg. We did not go into the town, but remained in the harbor till ourselves and our baggage all being placed on the same boat we were taken by four of the boatmen to Altona. There we had soon a friendly welcome from Herr Heinrich Van Schmissen who did every¬ thing in his power for us. That night we lodged in his ware-house. May 9. In the forenoon some of us went into Hamburg, but we had not much time to look about us. On our return to Altona we were told to go to Herr Van Schmissen’s house; we stayed here till 12 o’clock, then we went with our belongings to the shore, took leave of Herr Van Schmissen and got our ship bound for Amsterdam. Herr Van Schmissen had made all arrangements for us, and we re¬ mained that afternoon on board. Herr Heinrich Van Schmissen had given us for ship stores 16 loaves, 12 casks Hollands, 2 pots butter, 4 casks beer, 2 roasts, a quantity of wheaten bread and buiscuit, 2 cases French Brandy, and had in everything cared for us most kindly. May 14. Ascension Day. On the sea nearly every one became sick, but some more so than others, among the greatest sufferers were my father, the Herren Franzin, Krauss, and Frau Heydriger. At this writing Melchior Krauss is no more. Vero ad finem. May 18. Herr Blaie sent a letter to Melchior Schultz, who had been at his house but had not found him home. * * * * May 20. We still remained on the boat. A house-holder in town sent us there for dinner, two roasts, 1 pot butter, 1 cheese, 12 bottles wine, and in the afternoon Herr van Putten came to tis. That night we lodged in a house that he had rented for us. We had the entire house and occupied it for three weeks and six days, from the 21st of May to the 16th of June — 27 days. May 28. In the evening at 7 o’clock our friend Melchior Krauss died, when going to thank Herr Van Putten. * * * * On the 2nd of June Melchior Krauss was committed to the earth. Many of our Dutch friends were with us at the grave. * * * * On the 23rd of May we received letters from Pennsylvania from my brother George and on the 24th. * * * * May 29. John Ivlem with the remainder of our company, six in number, arrived at Haarlem. * * * Anno 1733, St. John’s Day, 24th June. We set sail from Rotterdam in our vessel, a brigantine culley [galley] the Pennsylvania Merchant, with Mr. John Stedman for our captain. * * * * Sept. 28. In the afternoon we arrived safe and sound in Philadelphia. Thanks and praise to the Lord for this blessing. At 9 o’clock in the morning my brother, George Scholtze, came to us, having journied twelve miles in a boat to meet our company. He brought us apples, peaches, and wheaten bread, and staid with us on the ship till we reached Philadelphia. Sept. 29. According to our calendar we were obliged to go to the Court House and take our oath of allegiance to the King. Accordingly we all left the ship. This day was in Germany, Michaelmas. Thus it befell us in our journey to Pennsylvania which we accomplished in twenty-three weeks and 36 Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families one day. From Berthelsdorf and Herrnhut, through Pirna, Dresden, Wittenberg, Magdeburg, Ham¬ burg, Altona, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Rotterdam, Plymouth, to Philadelphia. Finis cum Deo! [For complete accounts, vid.

The emigrants embarked on the Elbe for Altona, Denmark, on April 28, and on May 20 reached their destination. On June 21 they embarked on the ship St. Andrew, and on July 29, Plymouth was reached. Land of the new world was first seen by them on September 17, and on September 22 actual landing took place.

Henry Shultz had a still house, and was accustomed to haul the whiskey from his distillery to Richmond. On one
of these trips while he was driving a six horse team load of whiskey barrels, he accidentally fell off the wagon while in
sight of his home, and died before assistance could reach him. His widow lived for many years after this accident; but
this tragic death of her husband caused her to lose her mind. She died in Albermarle County, near Greenwood depot,
at the home of her daughter, Margaret Dettor. [Mrs. Phoebe Miller .]

In 1830 a George Shultz of Augusta Co., Va., was in custody of the Sheriff of said Co.; he had sold
interest in a tract of land, late the property of Matthias Swink who died intestate, of which property
descended to Rachel, a daughter and the wife of George Shultz. Above family is made up on basis of
this record.
According to Mrs. Cunningham this George Shultz was the father of Thomas C. Shultz who was
the father of John H. Shultz, of Spottsylvania, Va. It has been impossible to complete or verify this
data.
It would seem that this George must have been either a son of George [7-5] or David [7-6].

“I am 87 years old myself and I cannot recall the births and deaths of the others (brothers and sisters). The Sites
are nearly all dead, and they were not people to talk much about their ancestors, so I can not tell you whether John
Sites’ father was Henry and his mother Mary Schultz. Margaret seems to have been the oldest child, therefore John
Sites must have married Mary Pinkstaff about 1809 or 1810.
“This John Sites, whom we called ‘grandpop,’ had a brother Henry married to Maria Parker, a widow, my
mother’s sister. There was also a brother, Jake. John Sites’ father may have been Henry, for it seems to have
been a family name.’’ [Mrs. Kate Sites, Cavetown, Md. — 1920.]

Correct Military Record of Captain John Dettor.
To the Editor of The Times-Despatch,
Sir:
Permit me to correct your statement in your issue of the 23d inst to the effect that Captain Hawley became major
of the Tenth Virginia Cavalry the last year of the war. When Colonel Caskie became colonel, Lieut. Hawley became
captain of Co. A and remained so to the surrender.
When we left Petersburg, Robt. A. Caskie was Colonel W. B. Clement’s lieut-colonel and J. Henry Dettor (Com¬
pany F from Albemarle Co.), was major. The major was killed in the retreat and the regiment was captured near
Amelia. Consequently no promotion could be made. I was lieut. in Co. K. Tenth Va. Cavalry, and served in West
Va. also, being made lieut. just before the seven days battles before Richmond, and knew personally and intimately
every officer in the regiment. This correction is due to the memory of Major Dettor and correct history.
J. H. Turner, D. D.
Ruxton, Maryland.
My Dear Madam:
Yours received and it gives me great pleasure to do or say anything I can which may be of use to the wife of Capt.
J. Henry Dettor, Co. F., 10th Va. Cavalry, U. S. A. He always wrote or signed his name J. Henry Dettor. I knew
him intimately as a fellow officer in the same regiment. He and I were rather companionable. He was a good fighter,
an excellent officer, and had the good will and esteem of all in the regiment. He was promoted major of the regiment
just about the time we left Petersburg after its evacuation. I spoke to him a few minutes before he was killed. It was
I think just about the time — a little before or after the battle of Five Oaks. It is fifty years ago and some things have
been forgotten.
I should like to know just where his body was found.
About a year ago there was a notice in the Times-Dispatch of Rd., of the death of Capt. Hawley, Co. “D” of our
regiment. In this notice he was mentioned as major of the 10th Va. Cavalry. Although I did not know whether any
of Major Dettor’s friends were alive or might ever see it, I took occasion to write to the Dispatch and correct the error,
telling the editor that Capt. Hawley was never major of the regiment, but that J. Henry Dettor was promoted to the
office as I have stated. I did this in justice to the memory of Maj. Dettor.
They failed to send me a copy of my notice and so I did not know it had been published. I presume this is the
notice to which you refer.
There were two lieutenants Martin in Co. F. Are they living? Yours is the first and only word I have had from
the Co. in all these years, except a brief call I made on Capt. Cable in Staunton, a few years before his death. Capt.
Dettor rode a sorrel horse with a blaze or bald face. Your mention of the horse recalls it to mind.
Sincerely yours,
J. H. Turner, Lieut. Co. K.
10th Va. Reg.

Roland Park, Baltimore, Md.
Nov. 25, 1914
Capt. or Maj. J. Henry Dettor, mustered in service, left home 27t.h of June 1861. Mustered in at Gawley Bridge ,
WestVa. Served in battles in West Va. He was wounded at Charles City Court House, W. Va. Henry Lee was left
to guard road during the battle around Trevilians. In the battle around Richmond a piece of shell passed through his
saddle-bags and one piece went in front and skinned the horse’s legs. He had several narrow escapes.
He was killed at Five Forks, Dinwiddie County, 1st day of April, 1865, nine days before the surrender. His body
was afterward found by his father, Joseph Dettor, and carried to Greenwood, his old home, and buried. He turned
back to save another company and his horse fell then ran off and he called to his boys to get his horse and then the
enemy closed in on them. W. F. Dettor, his brother, got his horse and led it out. [Mrs. Frank Johnson].
John Henry Dettor Captain of Company F., Tenth Virginia Cavalry, was killed at “FIVE FORKS,” Dinwiddie
County, Va., April 1st, 1865, age 30 years.
After eight months of suspense alternating between hope and fear, at times his parents and friends hearing that he
was certainly alive, at other times that he was killed, his remains were found by his father, December 3rd, carried to
his home in this county, near Greenwood Depot, where his funeral was preached (Dec. 9th) by the writer, to a large
and attentive audience, from Romans, 8th chapter and 23d verse, and then buried with Masonic honors by King
Solomon Lodge, No. 194, of which he was a member.
Thus has passed away from earth one of the noble brave around whose name the evergreen Acacia will ever twine.
He was a Christian, devoted to the Master, who has called him away from the Church militant to the Church
triumphant in Heaven, where the clarion notes of the bugle will never summons “to arms” and no crimson current
flow amidst the roar of artillery, the gleam of the sabre, and the sharp crack of the rifle.
As a captain he was exceedingly popular with his superior officers, and with his company, including among its
members some of Albemarle’s bravest sons.
As a son he was affectionate and obedient; as a husband and father kind, attentive and devoted; as a brother
generous and true.
A warm-hearted Mason, a genial companion, a NOBLE MAN. C. C. V.

Met Again After Fifty Years.
At Gettysburg Dr. A. C. Smith, of Gordonsville, Va. , remarked to some comrades that he would like to find the
Federal soldier, if alive and there, who gave him, when wounded desperately at the Bloody Angle, lying over the stone
wall, a drink of water out of his canteen. One who listened to him heard later of a Federal soldier who was looking for
a Confederate, if there, to whom he had given a drink of water at the Angle.
When Dr. Smith marched with his comrades of Pickett’s Division, on the fiftieth anniversary to the hour of the
great Pickett charge and climbed over the fence near the top of Cemetery Ridge, he stood again at the Angle, and soon
both men were descried and brought together. It was hard for the men of ripened years to recognize the young soldier
features of fifty years ago. They talked over the circumstances and became satisfied that they were the two who met
thus on the battlefield. The Federal was Mr. Hamilton, of Philadelphia, a fine man, a Mason, and a man of cordial
brotherly heart. He bears the long scar on his cheek of a bad wound. They remained together for some time, took
each other’s address, clinked together glasses of lemonade, and in parting repeated with manly firmness and without
affectation, the words simply spoken so many times on that historic ground, “Well, if we never meet again on earth, I
hope we shall meet in Heaven.” [From Newspaper clipping furnished by Margaret Lee Dettor Johnson, Louisa, Va.]
One of the many battles in the Civil War in which Dr. Smith fought was that of Gettysburg. He participated in
Pickett’s charge in the battle of Gettysburg, in the 56th Regiment, Garnett’s Brigade, Pickett’s Division. While
marching forward, a bullet struck his gun barrel, splitting his thumb. Powder got into the wound, making it quite
painful for him to fire the gun. He was among those who captured the stone wall at the Bloody Angle. They fired
there one or two rounds, and then orders were given to advance over the wall to seize the cannon. He climbed the wall
and was shot, seemingly by a flanking force below him on the left. One bullet entered his shoulder, passed through
his body and out about the collar bone, and another the back of his knee, going through so that, being just beneath the
skin in front, it popped out when the surgeon cut. He fell over on the upper side of the wall, and lay on the field
several days. General Armstead jumped over his body when he climbed the wall. [Charles C. Anderson],
Dr. Smith said the wound in the thumb gave him more trouble and he suffered more from that wound than from
his other wounds. He lay on or near the battlefield twenty-one days; no attention was given him at first as they were
sure he would die in a few moments, but finally they fed him and took him up and put him in a wagon and carried
him away for treatment. The shaking was agony, I have heard him say. [Mrs. Frank Johnson.]

“Susanna, sister of Balthasar and Melchior Krauss, a widow, for 20 years lives in Germantown
and owns her house and garden and her sister Maria is still living, a widow.”
[Letter, C. Hoffman, to Teuchmann June 7, 1787 — S. H. L.)
"Cornelius (Nice), who was a distiller, settled in Cresheim, now called Chestnut Hill and owned two tracts of land,
one containing fifty-six acres in Cresheim and one containing about ten acres in Germantown. He died about the year
1760, and left a wife named Susanna and ten children; John being the oldest, got the land at a valuation made by the
Court.
They became the parents of fifteen children, the following five of whom are still living: John and Samuel (twins)
age seventy-nine years; Margaret, wife of Reuben Myers, aged seventy-seven years; Caroline, wife of Abraham Ivulp,
aged seventy-one years and Harper, aged sixty-nine years. John Nice died in September, 1851, and his wife Sarah a few
months later. It is a remarkable case that of all these family connections there are but two families who do not live
within a radius of fifteen miles from the old homestead. The total number of descendants of the subject of this sketch
was 355 of whom 266 are now living.”
Nice Reunion was held on the old homestead farm opposite Lawnton Station on the north Penn. Railroad.
Eugene E. Nice read a paper on the family. [Nice papers, Vol. 1, p 165, Newspaper clipping .]
Cornelius Nice, distiller, of Cresheim, Germantown township, died Oct. 23, 1754, leaving a widow, Susanna, and the
following children: John, Elizabeth (married - Rapp), William, Anna, Mary (married Abraham Rittenhouse),
Christopher, Sarah, Susanna, Jr., Daniel and Cornelius, Jr.
Susanna Nice, Jr., married Winnard Nice, an innkeeper of Germantown, whose will, made in 1802, speaks of his
wife and four children: Mary, Winnard, Susanna, and William, and son-in-law, Conrad Henkle. Conrad Henkle's
will proved Apr. 14, 1845, speaks of wife, Mary, and four children: William, Winnard, Susanna, and John. [Article

Rosanna Krauss Hunsberger was said to be connected with family of Rev. Ephraim Hunsberger
who moved from Upper Hanover, Pa., to Wadsworth, Ohio, but it was impossible to verify this state¬
ment.
Balthasar Krauss is said to have been a man of great strength. Tradition states that he served in
the Revolutionary War, and that when the baggage wagons would get stuck in the mud he would put
his shoulder under the axle and lift the wagon out of the mud. ( Albert Krauss [11-259].)

Various members of the Krauss family are said to have possessed great strength, judging by the
traditions handed down in the various families, and the stories of great loads having been carried by
them. It is said that the late Jacob Krauss [11-58] could lift exceptionally heavy loads with his teeth.

Jacob and Samuel, sons of Henry, probably died before sons of Abraham were so named.
In the will of Henry Rittenhouse, miller of Roxborough, Phila., probated Mar. 8, 1769, he be¬
queaths to Mary, “my beloved wife,” instead of dower “my mills, messuages, lands and all my real
estate. My eldest two sons, William and Cornelius (under 21). My seven children, William, Cornelius,
Susanna, Ann, Samuel, Mary, Jacob.” Executors: “Mary, my wife, Nicholas, my brother.” The

In 1815 Abraham Rittenhouse made a will in which he bequeathed $50 to the Mennonite Meeting
House of Germantown; $50 to his house-keeper; and the balance to his three sons, Enoch, Samuel, and
Jacob. This makes it appear that his wife Mary preceded him in death. In 1825, Enoch Rittenhouse
of Roxborough, miller, gave deed, wife did not join in deed. Indicates he was not married then. In
his will he bequeaths most of his Estate to his cousins’ children, and mentions his brother Jacob, but
not his brother’s children, which would indicate that his brother Jacob had no children, and that Enoch
himself was not married. The family seems to have died out.

his death his widow acted as hostess for many years. John Nice, a brother of Winfrid, was a married man with two
children, when the war broke out. He raised a company of which he was captain. After the war he became a Justice of
the Peace, and rented a farm near the Bethlehem Pike on the Wissahickon Creek, the place of his death.” [Hotchkiss —

John Krauss, probably the most scholarly of the Schwenkfelder pupils who attended the Hosen-
sack Academy, was born, lived, and died in Kraussdale, Pa. After leaving the Academy Mr. Krauss
attended a private school at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, where he became associated with David
Rittenhouse, the astronomer. John Krauss was a man of many activities; he is said to have become a
surveyor in 1784, at the age of fourteen, probably as a pupil of his neighbor, David Schultz. He also
served as teacher in the Hosensack Academy as a young man. He is said to have been a farmer by
occupation, a pipe organ builder by trade, and a surveyor by profession, spending his spare time in the
study of higher mathematics including navigation and astronomy. Tradition says that he was never
known to be idle, that he always had a book in his hands when sitting down. Thus by improving his
spare moments he became a very learned man for his time and became a prominent surveyor, a skillful
mechanic, and an accomplished mathematician. He is said to have calculated an eclipse of the sun
that took place forty years afterwards, the time of the eclipse verifying his calculations. It is also
said that as a young man when hauling farm products to Philadelphia he stopped at a hotel where a
group of sailors were also putting up for the night. These sailors were gathered around a table evidently
in deep thought. Young Krauss stood back of them looking over their shoulders for a time, and noticed
that they were trying to solve a problem in navigation, but after spending a long time in making their
calculations they were forced to give up the problem. The young man volunteered to solve the problem
for them — they looked at him in amazement, thinking that it would be impossible for this rough,
country lad to solve a problem in navigation that they could not master, but in a short time Mr. Krauss
solved the problem to their complete satisfaction.
John Krauss and his brother, Andrew, first started the building of organs for which the Krauss
family long had a fine reputation. He also built wool carding machines when not busy with surveying
and farming. There are preserved in the Schwenkfelder Historical Library at Pennsburg more than a
dozen books written by John Krauss. His great-great-grandson, Charles O. Krauss of Philadelphia,
has in his possession diaries kept by John Krauss covering a number of years. His books are models of
neatness and accuracy. The most unique is a book describing the making of sun dials. This is illustrated
152
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
with most exquisite drawings and explains the method of making sun dials at various angles, and
consists of fifty-four pages.
The year 1791 must have been an exceedingly busy one for this young man. We find at least
seven manuscript books which he wrote during this period. The following are some of the interesting
titles :
Die Taologische Dogmatic oder algemeine Einleitung in die Glaubnessen unsern allerheiligsten Christ-
lichen Religion, aus einem lateinischen Compendio, ins Teutsche ubergetragen, und die Feder dictiert.

In 1794 he wrote a manuscript folio in English consisting of one hundred and thirty-two pages,
entitled “John Krauss — his Practical and Theoretical Arithmetic.” Many of his drawings made
while surveying are preserved, as are also his compass and chain afterwards used by his son, Anthony,
and grandson, Isaac, who also followed the occupation of surveyors.
In 1812 he began the manufacture of agricultural machinery. This business was carried on success¬
fully by his son, Anthony, and his grandsons, Isaac, Harrison, and James, until recent years. As a
surveyor, scrivener, manufacturer, neighbor and citizen, John Krauss stood high in the estimate of his
fellowmen.

The Krauss Family As Organ Builders And Inventors
Balzer or Balthasar Krauss who came to Pa. with his mother who became a widow on the journey,
her husband, Melchior, dying in Haarlem (vid. [11]) settled near the village of Kraussdale, Montg. Co.,
Pa. It seems that one of the articles he brought with him from the old country was a tuning-fork which
seems to have been the only musical instrument permitted amongst the Schwenkf elders at that time.
Balthasar Krauss had a son Balthasar who in turn had three sons, John, Andrew, and George.
These men evidently were men of superior quality and had in them the composite elements of genius,
and developed marked mechanical ability. However, after a generation had passed away, the above
named tuning-fork no longer satisfied the musical instincts of these men, for we find that in 1790 while
the boys were still in their teens, with the aid of their father they planned and built a pipe-organ, the
firsl in that section of the country. It must also be remembered that these men had no tools with which
to work until the village blacksmith forged the necessary tools in his shop.
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families

It is interesting to conjecture as to how the idea of making pipe organs developed in the Krauss
family, for the Schwenkfelder Society to which they belonged excluded organs as well as other musical
instruments from their places of worship.
However, we know that the members of the Krauss family at this time belonged to a “Literary
Society” that existed in this section, which was very active, and by means of which books and other
intellectual helps were exchanged, and a mutual interest as to the general welfare of its several members
was manifested.
One of the members of this society was Rev. F. W. Geisenheiner who in 1793 became pastor of St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church. Upon learning that the Krauss boys had built a pipe organ for amusement
he urged them to continue the work in order to supply the demand for organs in the churches of Pa., as
but few organs were manufactured in this country at that time, and most church organs had to be
imported from England or Germany. But when they argued with him that the “Schwenkfelder Society,”
as then constituted, would not look upon such a project with favor, he asked them to show him the
difference in the wrong of using their grandfather’s tuning-fork to aid their vocal devotions or of using
an instrument of greater proportions. This settled the matter for them and although there was quite
a stir for a while in the Schwenkfelder Church when the Krauss family started the construction of
“music boxes,” and as a result of which the Krausses left the faith of their grandfather, nevertheless,
they continued in their pioneer work of organ building.
The first Church organ they built is said to have been completed in 1796, and was placed in Long
Swamp Church in Berks Co., a few miles from their home. Although it was rebuilt several times by
various members of the Krauss family it was still in use within recent years. It is said to have con¬
tained 575 pipes, and was made of solid walnut, being 16 feet high and 11 feet wide. After this the
three brothers devoted much attention to the building of pipe organs.
The diary and account book of John Krauss, the elder brother, shows that in 1807 they received
£262 and 10s. for an organ placed in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pa. This diary also shows
that they built piano-fortes, one having been sold in 1806 for $55.00.
One of the largest organs they constructed was for the Roman Catholic Church of the Most Blessed
Sacrament, at Bally, Berks Co., Pa. This organ was in use more than 100 years. In 1814 Zion’s
Lutheran Church of Phila. made an agreement with the Krauss brothers for the construction of an
organ. It is stated that this organ is still preserved as a relic. Many of the agreements for the manu¬
facture of these organs are still preserved in the Krauss family, while others were given to different
congregations for their local historical value.
In 1812 the elder brother, John, retired from the pipe organ business, and followed other pursuits,
notably that of a busy and successful surveyor. He was also an astronomer of note, having studied
astronomy under David Rittenhouse. He also is said to have built wool-carding machinery.
One of the agreements preserved shows that in 1837 a dispute arose concerning the organ that was
being constructed for “Sassaman’s Church”; as a result of which dispute the unfinished organ was
removed from the church and installed elsewhere.
Andrew Krauss died in 1841, having made 48 organs, an average of about one a year. Several
years prior to his death he removed to Palm, Pa., where his sons and grandsons continued their trade
in the same shop which is still standing (1920). George and Joel Krauss, sons of Andrew, continued
in the wake of their father, assisted in some mechanical respects by their brother, Samuel. However,
George Krauss and his son, Edwin B., of Palm, were the leaders. Their business of organ building has
given wide fame to their family name and their place of residence. They made good the inventive
genius and mechanical skill inherited from their father.
George, Joel, and Samuel Krauss also achieved marvelous success in 1823 when they were desirous
of organizing a string band. Desiring a bass-violin, and the purchase of one being out of the question,
it is stated that they went to Phila., examined and measured an imported instrument, returned home
and set to work to manufacture one. The brass cock-wheels fastened to the tuning pegs were made by
Samuel, who was also a clockmaker. A plate of ivory on the ebony scroll contains the name of the
maker and the year 1823. This instrument was still in good condition in recent years. Other violins
were made, and Joel made a beaked flute of boxwood, with an ebony mouth piece, still in good condi¬
tion. It has brass keys and is mounted with three elephant tusk rings. While still a young man George
Krauss made an electrical machine which was quite marvelous when we consider how little was known
about electricity in those days.
Samuel Krauss located at Sumneytown, Pa., and was the manufacturer of the famous grandfather
clocks that bring such fabulous prices in these days. His most noted invention was a clock and globe
combination. Doubtless this magnificent contrivance was suggested by his uncle John, the astronomer.

This device showed the earth in its planetary relations revolving on its axis, the meridian always
being in the position with that of the sun. Only parts of this chronosphere remain, as the original,
falling into hands that were unable to appreciate its uniqueness and historic value, was demolished.
The construction of organs by hand was continued by Edwin B. Krauss at Palm, Pa., until within
recent times, when the perfection of mechanical devices reduced the time of building organs to such an
extent that making them by hand was no longer profitable. One of the last pipe organs made by Mr.
Krauss is now in the Auditorium at Perkiomen School, Pennsburg, Pa.
The inventive talent in the Krauss family also manifested itself in Anthony Krauss [11-48], son
of John, who was the inventor of the four-horse-level-power and threshing-machines, that were such a
boon to the agricultural districts until displaced by the modern gasoline driven threshing-machines.

Rev. Charles S. Wieand was graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in June, 1874. Even
before his graduation, Rev. Dr. C. Z. Weiser, who lived next door to his home in East Greenville, Pa.
at the time, urged that after Mr. Wieand’s graduation he should open a private school in East Green¬
ville.
Mr. Wieand was loath to do this as his plan was to enter the Reformed Theological Seminary at
Lancaster, Pa. in order to prepare for the regular ministry. Dr. Weiser, however, urged so strongly the
necessity of founding a school in this section in which he was particularly interested that Mr. Wieand
allowed himself to be diverted from his original plan, chose a plot between East Greenville and Penns-
burg, Pa. on the line dividing the two boroughs, laid out roads and built a home and school combined.
Dr. Weiser had pledged himself to share the responsibility of instruction in the school, but he soon
wearied of this and the whole responsibility, financial as well as educational, devolved upon Mr. Wieand.
Before opening the school in the fall of 1875, Mr. Wieand had married a talented lady, Miss
Leonora M. Sell who had studied abroad for two years, and who assisted him by giving instruction in
music and foreign languages. Her dowry had made the school possible, but the school was not a finan¬
cial success owing to lack of support from the residents of the section and to the fact that the Normal
Schools, having State aid, could afford to take pupils at much lower rates than could Perkiomen
Seminary.
For nine years Mr. and Mrs. Wieand made their home in the school and carried it on with many
impediments and little support from those who had pledged aid, when at Christmas time in 1883,
diphtheria broke out in their family and in a week deprived them of three of their four children — and
weakened Mr. Wieand’s constitution to such an extent that he had to give up the school.
During the years at the school in addition to teaching Mr. Wieand had been studying theology
with Dr. Weiser, and he was licensed by the classis of Goshenhoppen in 1880. In 1883 he was ordained
by the same classis and installed as pastor of the Chestnut Hill congregation in Lehigh Co., Pa., which
congregation he served for one year while still principal of Perkiomen Seminary. During part of this
time he also supplied the Zion’s congregation in Pottstown, Pa., and in 1884 accepted a call from that
congregation, removed to Pottstown, and was installed as pastor of the Zion’s charge. For twenty-
four years he labored here, building up a congregation, which owing to a church fight had been divided,
from 60 to over 500 members. A chapel was completed, a parsonage was built, a new pipe organ was
installed and the church was renovated three times.
In 1908 Mr. Wieand resigned and for five years served charges which happened to be without a
regular pastor, the Schwenksville, the Great Swamp-Chestnut Hill, and the Shenkel charge in Chester
Co., and in 1913 was elected pastor of the Shenkel charge.
After serving for five years in this charge, he resigned in 1917 and moved to Philadelphia to live
with his daughter, Irma, as Mrs. Wieand had died in 1916 and his other daughter, Helen, had married
and moved to New England.

For two years he enjoyed a well-earned rest but even during this time he occasionally preached in
his old charge or in various churches in Philadelphia.
Rev. Wieand died on Oct. 7, 1919, from the effects of an attack of cardiac asthma.

“George Heebner, Sr., died in the month of Nov., 1773. For many years he was weak and de¬
crepit that it was surprising that he could live so long. Towards the last he lived with his brother-in-
law, Christopher Yeakel who had married his second wife’s sister and they were obliged to wait on him
as they would a child, on account of his feebleness until he passed into eternity.” [From letter of George
Kriebel to Silesia, March 28, 177 4-]
On June 13, 1753, George Heebner drew up a will bequeathing his estate to wife, subject to pay¬

purchase of 28 acres of land, and erected a grist mill on it, employing two sets of stones. This mill was
the first in the community and was situated a short distance southwest of Stetler’s Store.

Since we as human beings are all mortal and hence do not know how soon we may be called away from this world,
I desire to record while memory and understanding are good, my last will and testament and what shall be done after
my death with the worldly goods with which the Lord blessed me. In the first place I commend my soul into the hands
of him from whom I received it.
And further all my worldly possessions, house, home and all the land I own, whether adjacent to my house or not,
of which I hold deeds, as well as all live stock, utensils, household goods, money, and valuables beside all personal
property by whatever name known, without exception whether deeds, bonds, notes, book-accounts or whatever it may
be I convey and bequeath without exception to my beloved wife, Susanna Hubnerin, to have and to hold for herself
and her heirs or to whom she may convey or bequeath the same, to use and dispose of according to her own will and
pleasure to sell or to hold as she pleases.
Nevertheless, my beloved wife, Susanna Hubnerin, as true and lawful heiress of my estate shall pay to the son of
my youngest sister, Maria, named - - Nicolai 40 pounds, say forty pounds Pennsylvania currency. But as
this, my young nephew (Vetter) resides in Germany and thus far removed she shall have the right to retain the money
without interest until opportunity is found in one way or another to forward the same.
In addition she shall pay to the children of my “Vetter,” Hans Htibner, eight pounds each, namely to Hans Hiib-
ner, Jr., 8 pounds, Pennsylvania currency, to Melchior Htibner also 8 pounds, and to Anna Hubnerin also 8 pounds,
Pennsylvania currency, within one year after my decease upon the giving of proper receipts.
I hereby appoint my beloved wife, Susanna Hubnerin, as true heiress and executrix of this my last will and testa¬
ment for herself and her heirs or to whom she may bequeath the same for all time and shall not, except as specified
above, be obligated to make payments of money.
And this shall be considered and accepted as my last will and testament and none earlier than this shall be re¬
cognized, for the fuller confirmation of which I have by my own hand subscribed and sealed the same.

Christoph Kribel was sick upon arrival in Phila. in 1734 (Cf. List of Immigrants) . He settled in
Lower Salford Twp., Montg. Co., Pa. [Plate F IV, V, XXX.]
He was a farmer, both in Silesia and in Pa. He bought 150 acres of land from Casper Wister for 78
pounds on Mar. 26, 1735, in Lower Salford Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., which was owned by David Cassel
in 1907, and whose wife belongs to Christopher’s sixth generation of descendants. It is said that Chris¬
topher Kriebel broke his leg on May 2, 1735, or about two months after he bought his farm. Both
Christopher and his wife are buried in the Salford Schw. Cem.

Rev. Christopher Kriebel inherited his father’s farm in 1741, but did not receive his conveyances
until June, 1750. On May 6, 1784, he sold 125)^ acres of his farm to his son Jeremiah for 700 pounds in
specie. He also owned other land which was bought and sold at various times.
Having been chosen teacher of the young, for more than thirty years (1764-1797), Rev. Kriebel
met his class in Bible study every two weeks. He encouraged his pupils to write out comments on the
assigned topics or scripture passages. In this way he spent eight years studying the Gospel of St. John,
recording his own questions and answers which cover more than one thousand pages of manuscript.
In the same manner he studied other parts of the Bible, and penned a number of volumes so systemati¬
cally that a study of four volumes shows a variation of not more than two lines to a page.

In 1782 he was elected a minister of the Schwenkfelder Society, and served faithfully until 1796,
when he asked to be relieved and was succeeded by Rev. Christopher Hoffman.
He was an important factor in the organization of the Church in 1782. Many of his sermons are
preserved as well as eight hymns which he composed and published in 1762. His home was often used as
a meeting place for divine worship as well as for conferences for the welfare of the Schwenkfelder body.
Christopher Kriebel’s Letter Book, termed by the author a “Schrifften Sammlung,” is a collection
of more than sixty different letters copied from originals from the “Heintze Correspondence” which
was carried on between the Schwenkf elders who came to Pa. in 1734 and those of the same faith who
remained behind in Silesia. The principal correspondents were Christopher Kriebel and Christopher
Schultz of Pennsylvania on the one hand, and Carl Ehrenfried Heintze of Silesia on the other. This
book contains 368 pages and comprises more than 60 letters. Rev. Kriebel began compiling them in
1765 and completed the task in 1792 at the age of seventy-two. The author states that his object in
compiling this collection was that posterity might read them and profit thereby.
The entire book is written in German manuscript in very small type, and closely written, but of
great clearness and beauty. These letters are a mine of information on both the religious conditions
existing in Pa. and Silesia and also as regards the social conditions prevailing. When in later life
Heintze’s faith began to waver, both Christophers wrote him such impressive and overwhelming ar¬
guments, urging him to remain steadfast, that the former in his reply told them that the next time they
wrote they should be brief so that the letters would not require so much postage. In one of these letters,
dated 1769, Christopher Kriebel writes:
(Translation)
‘‘We in Coschehoppe, Shippach and Towamencin have our own burying grounds at each place.
Many have burying grounds on their own land for then- families. Others who live a considerable distance
away have buried their dead in burying grounds of people who are not of our faith, since those of quite
different religious views have buried there, for the earth is quite common to such use in our land. We
also allow our neighbors who live near us, and are of different religious views, to bury in our grounds.”
[Schwenkf elders in Pa. — Kriebel.}
In 1767, Christopher Kriebel served in his township as Overseer of the Poor, and he was one of the
four men appointed by Dr. Abraham Wagner to distribute one- third of his estate to the poor.
In 1764, when the Schwenkfelder Schools were established, Christopher Kriebel contributed
thirty pounds to their support, and in 1756 he contributed to a fund of 260 pounds raised in Salford
Twp. by the Friendly Association which tried to preserve peace among the Indians on the frontier
during the French and Indian War.
Rev. Christopher Kriebel led a busy and active life, dying the last day of the 18th century. His
tombstone in Salford Cemetery has the inscription, ‘‘Christopher Kribel, der Lehrer der Schwenkfelder
Gemeinde.” (Translation) — Christopher Kriebel, the teacher of the Schwenkfelder Congregation. [Vid.

In 1822, Dr. Christopher Kriebel attended a medical convention at Havre-de-Grace, Maryland, and
while there was stricken with yellow fever and died suddenly. He was buried in Havre-de-Grace. Tra¬
dition says when he left for the convention Dr. Kriebel took with him quite a large sum of money, but
after his death it could not be found.
Upon the receipt of the news of Dr. Kriebel’s death, Mrs. Kriebel’s father, Rev. Melchior Schultz,
went to Havre-de-Grace, located his grave and claimed his effects, which filled two trunks. He is re¬
ported to have been a very stout man and not in good health when he left for the Convention. He lived
on Filbert St., Phila.
The late Rev. Dr. George K. Meschter of Worcester frequently stated he had read of Dr. Kriebel’s
success as a physician. Oil portraits, painted on wood, of Dr. Christopher Kriebel and wife are pre¬
served in the S. II. L. at Pennsburg, Pa., having been presented by Mrs. Amanda Kriebel Seibert,

Abraham Kriebel was a miller and together with his brother Samuel owned the mill near Cedars,
Pa., known for many years as “Kriebel’s Mill.” Tradition states that these brothers and their families
lived together in splendid peace and harmony. It is stated that they ate at a common table, one family
furnishing the provisions one week, and the brother’s family the next week.

THE ISRAEL KRIEBEL FAMILY ASSOCIATION
The Israel Kriebel Family Association was organized Sept. 12, 1912, by a group of descendants of
Israel Kriebel who met at the old homestead in Hereford, Berks Co., Pa., now owned by Calvin G. Krie¬
bel, a grandson of Israel Kriebel. The object of the organization is to promote social intercourse and
fellowship amongst the lineal descendants and families of Israel Kriebel. Meetings are held every five
years. On the occasion of the second reunion in 1917, more than 150 members of the clan attended.
The officers of the Association are: President, Calvin G. Kriebel, Hereford, Pa.; Vice-President,
Enos Kriebel, Hatfield, Pa. ; Secretary, Ada Kriebel Spatz, Jacksonwald, Pa. ; Treasurer, Hiram Iv.

Isaac Kriebel moved to Ohio where he raised his large family. It has been impossible to trace all
members of his family as they drifted apart and did not keep in touch with each other.
Isaac Kriebel when married lived in Chester Co., Pa., and moved from there to Juniata Co., Pa.,
where he lived several years. After about five years he again moved to Summit Co., Ohio, and from
there to Owen Co., Ind., where both Isaac Kriebel and his wife died.

Joseph Kriebel was a farmer and lived in Worcester Twp., Pa., on what was later known as the
“Abraham Oberholtzer Farm.” For many years Joseph Kriebel was “Road Supervisor.” This was
before the advent of the road scraper. In his later years he frequently regretted that he was born too
soon, on account of his having to repair the roads in the old-fashioned way with plow and shovel.

Henry Kriebel, son of Israel, born Mar. 25, 1828, in Colebrookdale Twp., Berks Co., Pa., came
with his parents to what is now Kriebel’s Mill in Hereford, when a small boy. He lived the remainder
of his life there and died Nov. 10, 1893.
As a young man he became a miller and conducted an oil mill and grist mill until his death, assum¬
ing charge of the mill when his father died. At that time 125 acres of good land were connected with
the mill property and this was divided into two tracts. After the death of Henry Kriebel in 1893, the
mill and 25 acres were transferred to the son, Lewis G., and the rest to another son, Calvin G.
Henry Kriebel manufactured much linseed oil, employing five or six persons. The flax was hauled
from Upper Berks and Lehigh Counties in large Conestoga wagons, with four horses. The oil was sold
in the surrounding country and was used in the mixture of paints.
The mill was operated by water power, being located on the north branch of the Perkiomen Creek,
and it was the last oil mill in the township.
Mr. Kriebel was an adherent of the Schwenkfelder Church and is buried in the Washington Meet¬
ing Cemetery.
He was active in township politics for more than a quarter of a century. He was school director,
assistant township assessor, auditor, and at one time the candidate of his party for county treasurer.

Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
Howard Wiegner Kriebel was born in Hereford Twp., Berks Co., Pa.; he was educated in the
public schools of his native twp., at the Keystone State Normal School, Kutztown, Pa. (graduating
in 1876), and at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.
He taught in the public schools of his native twp. and at Perkiomen Seminary, Pennsburg, Pa.,
which institution he helped to revive, where he served also as bookkeeper, secretary and trustee.
He resigned from this position to write “The Schwenkfelders in Pennsylvania,” an historical sketch
published in 1904 by the Pennsylvania German Society.
Mr. Kriebel was the publisher of the “Pennsylvania German,” (from 1906-1914), an illustrated
monthly magazine devoted to the biography, history, folklore, literature, and general interests of
German and Swiss settlers in Pa., and other states, and their descendants.
For a time Mr. Kriebel served as minister of the Society of Schwenkfelders, and for several years
served as Secretary of the Conference of the Society. He was also one of the original members of the
Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church, serving as its Secretary for a number of years.
To Mr. Kriebel belongs the credit of originating numerous movements in the “Society of Schwenk¬
felders.”
He first started the collection of valuable books and manuscripts in the Schwenkfelder families,
purchasing many at public sales in order to preserve them, keeping them in his home until the present
Historical Library Building was erected at Pennsburg, when he generously donated his valuable collec¬
tion to the Library.
He was the first to suggest the idea of erecting a permanent building for the preservation of the
Schwenkfelder books and manuscripts, and for twenty years kept agitating the idea, before it was finally
accomplished.
For more than forty years Mr. Kriebel has been collecting data on the history of the Schwenk¬
felders, and he is the best informed man in the country today on the early history of the activities of
the Schwenkfelders, after their arrival in Pennsylvania. All data collected by Mr. Kriebel during
these many years was very kindly put at the disposal of the Editor of this work, and the Editor hereby
wishes to acknowledge his hearty gratitude to Mr. Kriebel for his generosity and willingness to co¬
operate in every way to make this record as complete and comprehensive as possible. Most of the
field work and research work done to assemble the material for this book was done by Mr. Kriebel
under the direction of the Editor, and had it not been for Mr. Kriebel’s intuitive instinct for discover¬
ing clues to widely scattered families and his dogged persistence in following out these clues it would
not have been possible to locate such a large number of families as are included in this book.
For the many hours of gratuitous service that Mr. Kriebel has rendered the Schwenkfelder
Institutions, and for the many ideas originated by him for the development of these institutions, the
Schwenkfelders owe Mr. Kriebel a debt they never can pay.

Rev. Oscar Schultz Kriebel, A.M., D.D., was born on a farm at Hereford, Berks Co., Pa. His
father dying when the boy was but thirteen years of age, many responsibilities were placed upon Dr.
Kriebel and his elder brother who was but two years his senior. The full management of the farm
practically rested on the shoulders of these two boys for several years. However, Dr. Kriebel managed
to attend the public schools of his native twp., studying diligently at home when he was not permitted
to attend school, and was able in a few years to pass an examination for a teacher’s certificate, which
then permitted him to teach in the public schools of the county. In this way he spent three years in
teaching, and then in 1883 he entered Oberlin Academy, Oberlin, Ohio, where he remained for two years
preparing for college.
Not having any financial assistance Dr. Kriebel was obliged to pay his own way through the
Academy and College and he did this by accepting all kinds of honest employment, during his college
course and during the summer vacations — working on the farm, selling books or stereoscopic views or
teaching. Thus by great diligence and conscientious effort he was able to work his own way through
Oberlin College, and was graduated in 1889 with the degree of A.B.
It was during his college career that Dr. Kriebel was visited by a committee of the Schwenkfelder
Church of the Upper District, for the purpose of asking him to become the minister of their churches,
as Rev. Joshua Schultz who was then pastor of this District was growing old and in very poor health,
so that it was thought that someone should be procured to assist him and be able to take his place when
he became entirely incapacitated. The committee was induced to take this trip because in his younger
days in connection with the Sunday Schools of the Upper District, Dr. Kriebel had always taken an
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
249
active part, was a faithful worker, and an earnest speaker. All these qualities seemed to indicate
that he would make an acceptable minister. When the committee waited upon Dr. Kriebel and
presented all aspects of the situation to him, he replied:
“I know that I can teach, but I do not know that I shall be a success as a preacher, and I am not
fitted to be a farmer.” However, having his mind turned in the direction of the ministry, upon his
graduation from the college department he entered Oberlin Theological Seminary, spending two years
in study for the ministry and was given the degree of A.M. in 1892. In 1891 Dr. Kriebel was married
to Miss Corinne Miller, who also was graduated from Oberlin College in 1886. The following year
they took a trip abroad where Dr. Kriebel finished his third year of theological work in the University
of Berlin.
In the meantime the Schwenkfelder Churches of the Upper District, realizing that if they desired
to have a pastor who would embody all the requisites which they desired to have, they would have to
provide further means of support than had previously been given their pastors, as prior to this time,
none of the ministers of the Church were paid for their services, but obtained their living from their
daily occupations. At the same time there seemed to be a growing demand for a school in the com¬
munity which would enable the boys and girls of that vicinity to obtain further education than was
given in the public schools at that time. The outgrowth of this thought was the purchasing of Perkio-
men Seminary, by the Schwenkfelder Church and the electing of Oscar S. Kriebel as the principal and
also the pastor of the Upper District Churches, which at that time included three churches, or meeting
houses, viz.: Washington, Hosensack, and Kraussdale. When Dr. and Mrs. Kriebel returned from
abroad in 1892, Dr. Kriebel was installed as Pastor of the Upper District and as Principal of Perkiomen
Seminary. [For the history of Perkiomen Seminary, see page 29.)
The growth and development of the Schwenkfelder congregation dates from this time, for with the
enthusiasm and optimism which has pervaded Dr. Kriebel’s career, changes and expansions have taken
place within the Schwenkfelder denomination which have meant much progress and resulted in the
present achievements. In all of these movements Dr. Kriebel has been the leader. The organization
of the Mission Board, the expansion of mission work, the organization and incorporation of the Board
of Publication for the monumental task of publishing the Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum, and the
development of Perkiomen School are all achievements in which Dr. Kriebel has been the leading
figure. As a result of his leadership the new Palm Schwenkfelder Church was dedicated September
24, 1911, with its entire cost of more than $40,000.00 entirely pledged. This church edifice is located
in precisely the geographic center of what is known as the Upper District, and since its erection the three
separate church buildings at Hosensack, Washington, and Kraussdale, have been abandoned excepting
for funeral purposes. The cemeteries are still retained and kept in good repair. The building at
Washington has been torn down and a suitable marker erected on the site where the former pulpit stood.
The cemetery has been enclosed with a handsome stone wall. The new building at Palm is constructed
of stone, and the main timbers on the inside were cut from the trees, which formerly stood in the yard
of the Washington Schwenkfelder Church. A handsome pipe organ of superior quality is also one of
several outstanding features of this Church. This was the first Schwenkfelder Church erected in which
a pipe organ was installed. The Palm Church is a memorial to the services of Dr. O. S. Kriebel as
Pastor. On October 27, 1917, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ordination of Dr. Kriebel to the
Christian ministry was held in this Palm Church. The exercises were largely attended by friends and
members from far and near and were a memorable event for the Schwenkfelder Church of the Upper
District.
Dr. Kriebel has written and published a number of treatises, some of which are “An Outline of
the Study of The Acts, The Epistles, and Revelations;” “Sanctification versus Christian Perfection;”
“Conversion and Religious Experience,” etc. In recognition of these works, Franklin and Marshall
College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, conferred upon Dr. Kriebel the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity
in 1907.
During the World War, Dr. Kriebel was appointed fuel administrator of Montgomery County,
and also a member of the food commission. He served as chairman of various committees in the upper
end of the county until the relinquishment of government control after the close of the war.
Dr. Kriebel’s two monuments are the Perkiomen School and the Palm Church. His untiring
efforts have made Perkiomen School one of the leaders among preparatory schools. He has helped
many young people to get an education; he has been instrumental in securing a large number of young
men to enter the Christian ministry of their various denominations; as a matter of fact with the
exception of Rev. Edwin S. Anders it was through Dr. Kriebel’s encouragement that all the other minis¬
ters of the Schwenkfelder denomination today were induced to study for the ministry.

Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
It can truly be said that Dr. Kriebel has been the leader of the Schwenkfelder Church during the
last thirty years; he has wielded an influence over the people and community that is far reaching.
When one looks back and notes the activities that have been started and achieved during the past
thirty years one can trace in their movements the hand of Dr. O. S. Kriebel, so that it can be said with
truth, that the opening of Perkiomen Seminary, by the Schwenkfelders, marked the Renaissance of
the Schwenkfelder Church.

Jesse S. Krieble was born in Worcester, Montg. Co., Pa., Oct. 11, 1842. He attended the public
schools of his twp. where he was taught by George Weber who instructed him in addition to the usual
branches in mensuration, geometry, trigonometry and surveying. Later he attended Freeland Semi¬
nary and North Wales Academy. After teaching school for several years in Worcester and Gwynedd
twps. he took up farming as his occupation. He, however, was a public spirited citizen of many inter¬
ests and devoted much of his time to the upbuilding and advancement of his community. He was
particularly interested in education and served for 27 years as a school director of Worcester Twp.,
acting as the President of the board for about 15 years. He also helped to organize Perkiomen Seminary
at Pennsburg which was taken over by the Schwenkfelder church in 1892, acting as a trustee the rest
of his life.
As a farmer he believed in united action as the only way that farmers could either sell or buy their
commodities satisfactorily. He helped to organize the “Farmers’ Creamery Association” of Worcester
and the Worcester “Farmers’ Union,” and served as president of both associations for many years.
He also took an active interest in financial and political affairs. When the North Wales Bank was
organized he became a charter member of the board and served as long as he lived. As a protest against
the Quay regime in 1900, he consented to become a candidate of the independents for the State Assem¬
bly, but failed of election.
He was a life long and active member of the Schwenkfelder church, serving it as Secretary of the
General Conference and as superintendent of the primary department of the Towamencin Sunday
school for many years.
He died March 21st, 1915, aged 72 years, 5 months, and 10 days and was buried in the Towamencin
Sehw. Cem.

DAVID HUBNER (HEEBNER) [E 211
and his DESCENDANTS
270
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
[21] DAVID HUBNER (HEEBNER) [E 21], b Aug. 27, 1696; d Dec. 27, 1784; m MARIA KRIEBEL
[E 85], b Jan., 1705; d June 11, 1793; dau Balthasar Kriebel; according to Schneider (p 77b , 6Jfb) they
were married by Regent. David Hiibner was a brother of Hans Hiibner [E 74] and also half brother
to Maria Wiegner Hiibner [E 117]. In 1774 Maria, wife of David Hiibner, wrote to her sister Regina,
wife of Christoph Groh in Silesia, that she was then 70 years of age.
In 1730, May 1, David Hiibner, “Groszknecht auf dem Oberhof in Berthelsdorf,” is a sponsor at
the baptism of Susanna, dau of George Scholtze and Regina Jackel. [ Unitats Archiv Herrnhut, R 5 A,
N 5, 7.] (1732, “Grossknecht beym Oberguth Pachter hat ein Kind.”)
On Feb. 21, 1769, Maria Hiibner and “Schwager” David Hiibner wrote a letter to “Schwager
Christoph Groh und Schwester Regina, Susanna und Anna wde auch Christ ihr man,” in which they
state that Maria, wife of David Hiibner for the past ten years has been suffering with a sore leg, and
regarding further particulars they state that ‘‘this spring it will be three years that we left our
former home, and we now live between two of our children in Worcester Twp. Our eldest son Christ
married Hans Wiegner’s daughter, and lives about a mile from us and they have four children. Susan,
our elder daughter, is married to Christ Wagner, eldest son of widow Anna Wagner. They live a
mile above us and have three children. A year ago, on New Year’s day, they lost a young child.”
“The other daughter, Rosina, has a second husband, viz., Baltzaar Jackel, eldest son of the late
Abraham Jackel. They have three children and live in Skippack. The other child, our youngest,
named George, is still single and lives with us.” (Translation.)
In this same letter they also send greetings to Abr. Hiibner, brother of David, also to “Christ
Wag.” and his daughters.
David Hiibner came to Pa. in 1734, with his wife and son Christoph. He was sick upon his arrival
in Phila. (c/. signature list). In 1736 he acquired land in Frederick Twp. [Plate E IV], and after pur¬
chasing several other tracts (c/. Haynes of Immigrants), acquired a tract in Worcester Twp. [Plate G VI],
owned (1920) by Jeremiah K. Anders. David Hiibner was naturalized Sept. 24, 1745. Both he and
his wife are buried in Salford Schw. Cem.

Elizabeth Heebner, relict of John Heebner, Norriton, made a will dated Dec. 7, 1836; prob. Feb. 13,
1845, in which she speaks of her daughter Barbara, wife of Isaac Stauffer, and her grandson, John Hoff¬
man.
Susanna Heebner died intestate, without issue, in 1831, leaving mother, and one sister, Barbara,
who married Isaac Stauffer. She bequeathed a half interest in a tract of 95 acres which descended to
her from her father, John Heebner. In Feb., 1837, this tract was sold to Isaac Stauffer.
In 1866, Susanna Stauffer, widow of Isaac Stauffer, renounced her right to administration of her
husband’s estate. Collateral inheritance tax was paid. John Hoffman as administrator was trustee
of fund for use of Samuel Stauffer of Macungie, father of Isaac Stauffer.
According to Bean’s “History of Montg. Co.,” 1884, Barbara Heebner, daughter of John and
Elizabeth Heebner, married Jacob Hoffman; he died in a short time and the widow then married Isaac
Stauffer. It seems that Isaac Stauffer married a second time, Susanna - , according to the
above renouncement.

Balthasar Heebner lived in Worcester Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., and owned the farm lately pur¬
chased by Abraham Anders, Sr. He was a minister of the Schwenkfelder Society many years, until
his death. This record, so far as it relates to the genealogical record of the members of said religious
society, and their descendants who adhered to their organization, was preserved by him in German
manuscript to about the year 1846. In the earlier days, to about 1804, a few records had been kept,
but about that time abandoned, when the Rev. Mr. Heebner, copying from those earlier ones, con¬
tinued his own down to the date mentioned. Without his industry and care it would have been impossi¬
ble to compile the present work for want of a continuous record. Of a cheerful disposition, and of
active and industrious habits, Mr. Heebner always retained the confidence of the entire community
in which he lived. [Gen. Rec., 1879, p 78.]

David S. Heebner, who died in the 90th year of his life, was elected the first Burgess of Lansdale,
Pa., when it was incorporated in 1872. It is said he broke up the nuisance of Sunday baseball playing.
He also served as postmaster of Lansdale. [. Schwenkfeldian , 1909 , p 86.]
David S. Heebner was the founder of Heebner and Sons Agricultural Works, Lansdale, Pa. He
first made clocks and established quite a reputation as a clock-maker. When the call came from his
neighbors and friends for labor-saving agricultural implements he gave his attention to inventions
along this line. He began the manufacture of agricultural machines in 1840, in Worcester Twp., Pa.
He sold the first machine to Joseph Allebach of Worcester Twp. Although at first working by himself,
he soon had to obtain assistance, as it is said that it took six weeks to build a machine.
He continued improving his machinery and expanding his business until 1862, when he took his
sons, Isaac and Josiah, into partnership with him. In 1872, the partnership was dissolved, and David
moved to Lansdale, uniting with his sons, Isaac and William, under the firm name of “Heebner Sons
and Company.” From this small beginning has now grown the large manufacturing plant of Heebner
and Sons which sends machinery all over the civilized world.
The Heebners manufactured horse-powers and grain threshers to take the place of the flail. They
made fodder-cutters that greater economy might be practiced in feeding stock; they made various
278
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
kinds of smaller useful tools. The Heebner machines were exhibited and were in daily operation at
the Centennial in Phila. in 1876, carrying off high honors. Since that time they have been in constant
demand throughout the agricultural world. The Heebner Level Tread Powers and “Little Giant
Pennsylvania” Threshers are now carried on the backs of pack mules through the mountain passes of
Mexico and carried to Asia on camels’ backs. Both Germany and Russia before the war were large
buyers of Heebner Machines, and were constantly increasing their orders for the Heebner agricultural
implements. At the World’s Fair in Chicago, 1893, the Heebner Level Tread Horse Powers were
awarded the highest honors. They also manufacture machines for harvesting peanuts. David Heebner’s
son, William D. Heebner, is now sole proprietor of the plant.

In his day John S. Heebner had the reputation of being the most sociable of the members of the
Schwenkfelder Society and his children have in a large measure inherited this trait. He always had a
good word for everyone with whom he came in contact. Mr. Heebner owned and lived on the farm in
Upper Gwynedd Twp., Pa., now (1920) owned by his son William K. Heebner, and always kept it in a
high state of cultivation.
Being a very earnest and zealous man, Mr. Heebner served his denomination in various capacities,
serving as trustee for many years, and as superintendent of the Towamencin Schwenkfelder Sunday
School. His judgment was always consulted in matters of moment both in the church and in secular
matters. Having accumulated a good deal of property by his industry and frugality, Mr. Heebner
made large contributions for Church and allied work. When Perkiomen Seminary was bought, by the
Schwenkf elders, Mr. Heebner was selected as a trustee and served in this capacity up to the time of his
death. When funds were solicited to pay off indebtedness on the Philadelphia Church, Mr. Heebner
said: “If the erection of this church will be the means of saving one soul, it will have been worth while,”
and he assumed the entire indebtedness himself.
He also made a generous contribution for the construction of the present Towamencin Schwenk¬
felder Church, so that when this edifice was dedicated, it was not only free from debt, but the building
committee had a balance in the treasury.
Mr. Heebner abhorred debts on church property. He frequently stated that the Schwenkfelder
Method was to keep out of debt, as this was the advice handed down from the forefathers.
Possessed of such sterling integrity, Mr. Heebner was solicited to serve as a director in various
financial institutions, which positions he filled with great credit, and his advice and judgment were of
great benefit to the organizations. He also served his township as school director.

Isaac D. Heebner was born near Norritonville on his father’s farm in Montg. Co., Pa. After serv¬
ing an apprenticeship with his brother, Josiah, in the shops of his father, David Heebner, where they
engaged in the manufacture of mowing machines, threshers, and harvesters, in 1868 Isaac sold out his
interest and moved to Lansdale where he started in business in a small shop which was the forerunner
of the Heebner and Sons Agricultural Works as it exists today. Isaac Heebner was for many years the
business manager of Heebner Sons and Company until his brother, William, bought out the business
in 1887. During all the years of his active life in Lansdale Mr. Heebner took an active part in progress¬
ive enterprises of the town. He was one of the originators of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Lans¬
dale, and was trustee, organist, and superintendent of the Sunday School for many years. He assisted
in building the pioneer school house of Lansdale, and was the first president of the school board and
continued being a member up to the time of his death. He also served as a member of Town Council.
From the obscure and insignificant beginning made by Isaac Heebner the present large agricultural
works have grown. The Heebner brothers built up an extensive business by strict integrity and at¬
tention to business. All being natural mechanics they became masters of the mechanic’s art.

Worcester Schwenkfelder Church.

William D. Heebner was born near Norristown, Montg. Co., Pa. After attending the public
schools of his township he served an apprenticeship of seven years in his father’s machine shop learning
the business of agricultural implement making. After completing his apprenticeship, in 1870, Mr.
Heebner went to Lansdale and began a partnership with his brother, Isaac, which soon assumed the
firm name of Heebner and Sons. In Oqt., 1887, William D. Heebner purchased the entire plant and
has operated it successfully ever since. Mr. Heebner has succeeded in organizing this plant in such a
manner that every department is in charge of a competent person, so that the plant practically runs
itself. Not only have Heebner and Sons made and invented various agricultural machines, but the di¬
verse tools used in their construction are also products of their skill and genius. Many labor saving
and automatic devices are used foransuring perfection of detail with a minimum of labor. The business¬
like methods of the firm and their fair dealings with their customers have given Heebner and Sons a
reputation which is known far and wide.
In addition to managing this plant Mr. Heebner has had an opportunity to engage in other in¬
terests. He has important business interests in Florida where he spends his winters and owns many
orange groves. He has also for a long time been closely identified with the many interests of the town
of Lansdale in which his works are situated. He has served as a member of its Council and was Bur¬
gess for many years. In addition to his business interest in the town he has also been an active church
worker.
Being a musician of some prominence Mr. Heebner has been leader of the choir of the Methodist
Episcopal church for more than twenty-five years, and also one of its trustees. He has at various times
been the leader of the Lansdale orchestra. Mr. Heebner has been honored by serving as a member of
the House of Representatives at Harrisburg for two terms, and also served as State Senator. To Mr.
Heebner belongs the credit of introducing a bill making appropriations for freeing the burden of debt
from the headquarters of Washington at Valley Forge, and through his active interest this bill became
a law. He has also served two terms as Comptroller of Montg. Co., and was chairman of the Draft
Board of the county during the recent World War.

DAVID JACKEL (YEAKEL) [E 381
and his DESCENDANTS
466
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
[38] DAVID JACKEL was b about 1659 and lived prior to the migration in Nieder Harpersdorf.
He came to Pa. in 1734 and was on the sick list when he landed (cf. Signatures Oath of Allegiance) . No
record of the death of David Yeakel nor that of his wife has been found, but it is known that he was a
widower at the time of his arrival in Pa. As he was about 75 years of age at the time of his arrival, it
is probable that he lived with his children who settled in Macungie, Pa., and he is doubtless buried there.
Six sons and two daughters are accounted for in Pa., but, according to the Harpersdorf Church Records,
there were twelve children (cf. Regent Cat. Schwenkfeldianorum, p 6A), and the name of his wife was
SUSANNA HEYDRICK.
The following data regarding his children has been discovered.

came to Pa. in 1734; settled in Macungie, Pa. [Plate B IV). He was naturalized June 21, 1743; both he
and his wife are buried in the Yeakel Private Cem., Hosensack.
There is much confusion about the date of marriage of Hans H. Yeakel. B. H. Record gives date
of marriage as 1735. Christopher Schultz in 1774, in a letter to Von der Smissen mentions amongst
those married at time of immigration was “Hans Jakkel.” The arrangement of names on immigrant
list also points to this direction. The Editor cannot account for these discrepancies.
Hans Heinrich Yeakel became a large landowner in the Hosensack Valley, in Lower Milford
Township, now Lehigh Co., Pa. He purchased what was then known as the Hamilton tract, containing
about 500 acres of excellent farm land, which at his death he divided among his sons. It is stated that
he attended the sale of “Hamilton tract” on horseback, having ridden there from Macungie. When the
Auctioneer intimated that he should have some evidence of his financial ability to consummate a sale,
Mr. Yeakel went to his saddlebags and pulled out sufficient cash to pay the entire sum. His descend¬
ants became quite numerous, and much of his property is still owned by them. He had gone with his
brother-in-law, Gregorius Schultz, to the Jordan in Lehigh County, but the location being too much
exposed, on account of Indian depredations, he returned in a short time afterwards and settled per¬
manently in the Hosensack Valley.

A SCHWENKFELDER LEGACY IN SILESIA
Susanna Heydrick Yeakel, wife of Hans Heinrich Yeakel, had brothers and sisters living in Har-
persdorf until near the close of the 18th century.
From church and town records we learn that Anna Hoffman, widow of Sigmund, Freyhdusler in
den Feldhdusern, sister of Helena Heydrich and of Susanna Heydrich, wife of Hans Heinrich Yeakel,
died Dec. 14, 1792, intestate and without direct heirs, aged 74 years. She had been very generous
during her life time and had distributed most of her property amongst her relatives unto the third
generation, and had also frequently expressed to her sister her desire to have the residue of her property
given to Ober Harpersdorf to establish a legacy for her nearest kin and for the aid of the poor of the
town in general.
In accordance with this desire her sister, Helena Heydrich, devised the residue of her deceased
sister’s property as well as part of her own to the following charitable purposes:
1. Twenty Reichsthaler is given to Ursula Fliegner, widow of George Fliegner, in the Feldhauser
and sister of Anna Anders [ 161 ] ; their parents were George Hoffrich-ter and wife Anna Wiegner, sister of
Adam Wiegner.
2. Thirty Reichsthaler is devised to the family who cared for her during her last illness.
3. One hundred Reichsthaler to be invested at 4% interest to establish the legacy desired by her
deceased sister for the aid of the poor of the town.
This legacy was still active in 1911, the principal amounting to about $75. In the books of the
town council it is known as the 11 Anna Hoffman Stiftung .” [For complete account of legacy, vid.
“ Schwenkfeldian," Vol. VIII, p 28.)

CASPAR JAKKELS WILL
(Translation)
In the year of our Lord 1741 November ye 2nd
The last Will of Caspar Jakkels made by him When he was yet in his perfect senses; and whereby he has ordered
and confirmed how it should be kept after his Decease with his whole estate Real and Personal; and what parts there¬
of should be assigned for ye Mother and Child; thus drawn up and signed by Witnesses for an unchangeable validity.
Art. I. All Moveables and Immoveables shall be summed up and reckoned together and all Debts be first payed
out of it.
2. In case of ye Mother should re-marry everything as well Money as Goods shall be summed up and appraised
whereof ye Child Is to have one third Part.
3. If it should happen that ye Child died and if Mother inherit its Part, it has been agreed to by him that in this
case if Ye Mother was to marry again after ye Childs Death, then one half of ye Child’s Part is to fall to ye Child’s
Father’s Brothers and Sisters; But to excite a mutual and good Confidence Between ye Mother and ye Father's
Brothers and Sisters; Ye following Condition has been reserved according to his Will, Viz; That if after her Re-marry¬
ing evident Misfortune should befall ye Mother such as Poverty or Inability to provide for her subsistance, then she
shall not be obliged to return ye above mentioned Half to ye Father’s Brothers and Sisters, tho this has been consider¬
ately left to ye Discretion of ye Parties to act jointly in ye Case.
4. In ye respect to ye third Article, it has been found good to mention here for ye preventing of Disputes that it
has been agreed upon that no Pretence to ye Child’s Portion shall find Place, till ye eighteen Years be expired during
which ye child is to be educated and provided for by ye Mother and that if claim of ye afore third Article takes Place
after ye Child’s Death.
5. But in Case it should come to pass that either ye Child and its Part came to ye Mother and consequently ye
Mother should die Widow; then what remains comes to ye Relations of both sides to be equally shared between them;
and if the Mother should die Widow before ye Child then all is left to ye Child; ye Child afterwards also dying ye rest
comes to ye Relations on both sides and so be equally shared as above.
All this has been uttered and publickly mentioned by him in the Presence of ye here subscribed Witnesses and
for ye more Confirmation of it he has signed it with his own hand.

Rev. Jesse Yeakel, born in 1820, lived a singularly useful life. Having been reared on a farm, he
early evinced religious convictions and preached his first sermon at the age of 19. He served as a
minister of the Evangelical Association and was in active service for 50 years, filling the position of
Presiding Elder in the Eastern Pa. and Atlantic Conferences of the Evangelical Association.
Although having a very limited public school education, Rev. Yeakel wrote two theological works,
“Die Heilung des Menschen” which was published in Stuttgart, Germany, and “Systematic Theology.”
He also wrote a short autobiography, ‘ Tsai’s Erfahrungen.” He was said to have been well grounded
in the scriptures and led a very pious life.
Although stationed in Phila., his duties as Presiding Elder caused him to be away from home a great
deal, going as far as Port Jervis, N. Y., and being absent from four to six weeks at a time, the meagre
salary he received not permitting him to pay car fares for frequent visitations to his districts. He was
incessant in his labors for the neglected and unfortunate. One of his favorite maxims was “Besser
Unrecht leiden als Unrecht thun.” (Better endure wrongs than commit wrongs.)
Maria Schultz Yeakel was said to have possessed exceptional mechanical ability for a woman. At
the age of 10, she is said to have made a wooden horse mounted on propelling rollers. Her school¬
master, the late Amos Schultz, while passing along the road, showed great delight in seeing this horse
glide down the incline on its wheels, and told her, “you should have been a boy.” The members of the
Amos Schultz family still recall that their father spoke of the proficiency of Maria Schultz in her studies.
She and her brother and sister would stand in a “row” while their father would hear their lessons
and test their knowledge of music. Her sister, Lydia, was very fond of reading, and at the tender age
of nine was perplexed as to how to read and spin at the same time, as she was obliged to take her turn
at the spinning wheel.
It is said that their father, Melchior Schultz, at times entertained from 20 to 30 of the Moravians
at one time. They would come in a coach from Bethlehem and be entertained by the Schultz family.
This, of course, required great culinary preparations, but the women were equal to the occasion and these
visits were welcomed by adults and children alike.
*Sarah Jane Yeakel in early childhood evinced great interest in music, specializing on the pipe
organ. For more than 20 years she was organist in Trinity Church, Germantown, Phila. For many
years, she was the Philadelphia correspondent of the “Evangelical Messenger,” the organ of the Evan¬
gelical Association. Later she became actively engaged in Missionary Work, and is now engaged in
Sunday School and deaconess work in Newark, N. J. She is an official Sunday School visitor of a
prominent Sunday School.
fUriah Yeakel was the first graduate of a Philadelphia Grammar School to be awarded a free
scholarship at the University of Pa. by the Philadelphia Board of Education. These scholarships are
now awarded to graduates of High Schools. He was born at Easton, Pa., and was possessed of an ex¬
ceedingly brilliant and conscientious mind. His early death cut short what would have been an un¬
doubtedly successful career. A professorship at the Schuylkill Seminary was declined by him as he
felt he could not conscientiously fill the position.

Rev. Reuben Yeakel was a Bishop of the Evangelical Association and resided in Norristown, Pa.
His jurisdiction as Bishop embraced the churches of the Middle and Western States; he was editor,
bishop, president of the theological seminary, and church historian in the Evangelical Association.
In the will of Caroline K. Yeakel of Reading, Pa., she says, “My Dear Husband, Reuben, shall
have fifty dollars and my lot No. 7 in Linwood Park, Vermillion, Ohio.’’ Her three sons, Charles, John,
and Cornelius Klein, were executors. Reuben Yeakel died prior to his wife.

Inventory of Personal Estate of Abigail Overholtzer. Dec’d, Late Abigail Yeakle.
Aug. 31, 1825. Filed 1828. [Adm. No. 14:5,54.}
The Petition of Abraham Heydrick, Humphrey White, and Abraham Yeakle, relatives and next friends of the
minor children of Abigail Overholt, one of the daughters and heirs of Abraham Yeakle, dec’d, respectfully showeth
that the said minors are entitled to a considerable estate in right of their deceased mother, Abigail Overholt * * *
That the mother of the said Minors is deceased and the father of the said Minors, John Overholt, has taken out Letters
of Administration on her Estate and is about to receive the whole amount of the Estate. That the said John Overholt
has expressed his determination to remove to Canada; his children now are destitute of support.
The securities given by the said John Overholtz on his administration bond are insufficient: that the said John
Overholtz is subject to intemperance and that it is believed by your Petitioners that if the Estate liapen into his hand
the whole will be lost to the Heirs.
Your Petitioners believe and have been so advised that the portion of the estate arising from the estate of Abra¬
ham Yeakle, the grandfather, legally belongs to children of the wife of the said John Overholtz, and that he as adminis¬
trator or in no other way in his own right has any claim to the estate.

and received his education in the schools of that state. He studied theology privately. He was or¬
dained to the ministry in 1884. He served six years in Pa., engaged in missionary work in Baltimore,
Md., then became pastor of a church in Montg. Co., Md.; then returned to Baltimore, to engage in
missionary work. He founded the church of Lauraville, which is now known as the Hamilton Presby¬
terian church. He accepted a call in 1905 to the Memorial Presbyterian church in Brooklyn, Md.,
where he remained three years. He returned to Baltimore in 1908, and took charge of the Broadway
Presbyterian church, now a strong mission center. He went to West Liberty, W. Va., in 1913, and
remained three years, when he entered upon work at Carlisle, Pa. He is survived by his widow, five
daughters and one son. Interment was made at Mount Zion Cemetery, Churchtown, Pa. [News¬

m Dec. 20, 1762, ANDREW DAGUE of Lancaster Co., Pa. [ This information is obtained from records
in S. H. L.)
The editor was not able to trace descendants of this family conclusively, but from court records and
traditions handed down in the various Dague families hereinafter listed, we think we are justified in
including these families in the list of Schwenkfelder descendants.
In Will Book V , 1:783, Lane. Co., Pa., we find the will of Andrew Dague, probated Dec. 6, 1854.
This Andrew lived in Salisbury Twp., Lane. Co., and mentions the following:
“Daughter Mary, wife of Clemson B. Moore of Indiana; daughter Ann, wife of John Lora; daugh¬
ter Rachel, wife of Christian Yoder; my grandson, David, son of my son Andrew; my daughter, Leah,
her daughter Mary Ann Cooper, wife of Jacob Fretz.”
The daughter Leah appears to have been a lunatic. He also mentions “my five children, Andrew,
David, Mary, Ann, Rachel.” The executors were his son, David Dague, and son-in-law, John Lora,
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
5G7
both of Salisbury Twp., Pa. They were empowered to sell his real estate in the state of Pennsylvania
or elsewhere.
In D. B. P. 8, 57:110, the heirs of Andrew Dague were given as follows in 1856:
David Dague, Andrew Dague, Mary Moore, Ann Lora, David Dague, Jr., Marianne Fritz, Andrew
Yoder, Christian Yoder, Anne Mary Yoder, Clemson B. Moore of Franklin Co., Indiana, and Mary,
his wife, late Mary Dague.
We believe the above named Andrew Dague was a grandson of Andrew Dague and Maria Mesch-
ter. On the above hypothesis we arrange the Dague families as follows:
[43-2] MARIA MESCHTER, m ANDREW DAGUE in 1762; had at least one son:
[43-12.1] Andrew, m Ann - -
In 1797, Dec. 30, Andrew Deig (Dague) and wife Ann of Salisbury Twp., sold 39 A. of Land
[Lane. Court Records W. 3.708}. In 1804, Mar. 31, the same parties gave a mortgage for 107 A. and
10 A. [Lane. Court Records O. 3.157]. They sold these tracts of 107 and 10 acres Apr. 14, 1807.

name to a release as “Christopher Meschter.” He is said to have gone to Canada, but, according to the
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
568
late Dr. J. L. Masters of Indianapolis, Christopher Master went to Indiana in 1833. Upon his arrival
there he was called “Christopher Masters,” but did not write the s to his name until about 1840. After
that he signed his name “Masters” more and more, until he finally wrote it thus almost always. All
his descendants write their names as “Masters.”

Meister, one of the original Schwenkfelders who came to Pa. in 1734. His father, Christopher, the
eldest son of Gregorius, was born on the St. Andrew while crossing the ocean. Five generations of
Masters indirect descent are buried in the old family burying ground in Blenheim Twp., viz. Isaac

John Lewis Masters was born on the farm in Indiana in the house which his grandfather occupied
when he migrated to Indiana from Pennsylvania about 1835. While a boy his parents moved to Brook-
ville, Franklin County, Ind., where the father followed the trade of blacksmithing for some years, and
later engaged in the manufacture of buggies and carriages. During the boyhood days of Dr. Masters
he spent much of his spare time outside of school in his father’s shop. He showed marked mechanical
ability and was expected to follow an occupation which would have to do with mechanics. However,
after graduating from high school he taught in the public schools for four years, during the third year of
which he began the reading of medicine with a physician in whose house he lived.
Dr. Masters graduated from the Louisville, Ky., Medical College in 1885, with the honors of his
class. After serving a year’s interneship in the City Hospital he engaged in general practice of medicine
at New London, Ohio. In 1892 he spent a year in New York doing postgraduate work in medicine,
specializing in the eye, ear, nose and throat. Returning to Indiana in 1893 he specialized in the treat¬
ment of the eye, ear, nose and throat and built up a large practice. In 1903 he spent a year in Germany
doing postgraduate work in the University of Berlin. It is stated that Dr. Masters’ success in his pro¬
fession was doubtless chiefly due to his untiring, deeply conscientious interest in every case that came
before him. He had no “second best” effort. Every patient regarded him as his personal friend as well
as his medical adviser. His best efforts were always given to the practice of his profession and the
welfare of his patients.
In 1894 Dr. Masters became identified with the faculty of the “Old Central College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Indianapolis.” He was also professor of Otology and the eye and ear, serving as
treasurer of the college for some time in addition. After his return from Europe he became connected
602
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
with the Indiana University School of Medicine, and had the title of Clinical Professor of Otology, but
failing health prevented him from engaging in this work very actively. For many years he was on the
staff of the City Dispensary and the City Hospital, but on account of ill health he was obliged to aban¬
don this work also.
In addition to his professional interests Dr. Masters operated a large farm near the city of Indian¬
apolis where he was successful in producing good crops and fine stock. Never seeking public recognition,
but rather shrinking from publicity he was a hard worker and devoted his spare time to extensive read¬
ing, not only in his professional line but current literature. He was a member and trustee of the
Broadway Methodist Episcopal Church for many years.
Having come into possession of one of the first editions of the Genealogical Record of the Schwenk-
felders, Dr. Masters started a correspondence with some of his kin-folk in the East and after he had
established this connection he made two trips to Montgomery County to trace out his ancestry and
meet a number of his relatives. Having located the grave of his immigrant ancestor, Gregorius Meister,
Dr. Masters came East in September. 1915, to make arrangements to erect an appropriate marker on
the grave of his ancestor and also to attend the Memorial Day services of the Schwenkfelders. It is
worthy to note that in the preceding year Dr. Masters had intended to attend these exercises, but im¬
portant appointments prevented him from doing so, and he spent the afternoon of September 24 on his
farm where he met with a serious accident that almost proved fatal. Having successfully recovered from
this accident he determined that if his life were spared for another year he would break all appoint¬
ments and be sure to attend these services. Time has shown that it was a wise decision for his life was
not spared sufficiently long to attend further services of this kind. After Dr. Masters came into posses¬
sion of his copy of the Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelders he became very much interested in
tracing out the various members of the Meschter family and had collected quite a great deal of informa¬
tion, especially on the families that had migrated to Indiana and the middle west. All this material he
offered to place at the disposal of the Editor. In addition to this, upon ascertaining that the Editor’s
personal copy of the Record had been stolen Dr. Masters promptly forwarded his own personal copy
with all his annotations for use in preparing the new book.
His sudden death prevented the consummation of his desire to complete the data regarding the
Meschter family. The Editor is pleased to state that his son, Mr. Paul L. Masters, very kindly assisted
in copying and classifying the material left by his father, all of which were put at the disposal of the
Editor, and he hereby desires to give Mr. Masters credit for his valuable assistance in compiling the
data concerning the various members of the Meschter (Master) family.

Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
[44] CHRISTOPH REINWALD [E 44], b 1703 in Silesia; d Jan. 14, 1770; s Melchior. He came to
Pa. in 1734, with the group of immigrants. On Nov. 1, 1734, he was married to SUSANNA SEIBT
[E 124], by written marriage contract [9. v.]. Witnesses signing contract were: Melchior Kribel,
George Reinwald, David Seibt and George Weiss; this contract was executed in Phila. and is preserved
in S. H. L. This is the only written marriage contract that has been discovered, but doubtless others
were executed during the first few months after the migration, before the Schwenkfelders elected a
regular minister. The name of Susanna Seibt appears on the Immigrant List as Susanna Reinwald
[E 124] [ q . v.].
SUSANNA SEIBT was the dau of Hans Christoph Seibt of Silesia [ cf . Letter in S. H. L., Mar.
22, 1749]; she d July 23, 1749. Christoph Reinwald was naturalized, June 21, 1743. He lived in
Towamencin Twp. on land owned, in part (1920), by Rev. Edwin S. Anders [ Plate F XIX]. Both
Christoph Reinwald and wife Susanna are buried in Towamencin Schw. Cem.
Christopher Reinwald died so suddenly that in a quarter of an hour after he was stricken he was
dead [Letter C. S. to Heintze, 1770].
Christopher Reinwald was a brother to Judith Reinwald, wife of David Seibt [E 59]; and also to
Barbara Reinwald [E 125], who came to Pa. in 1734, and who probably lived with him, and who died,
Aug. 24, 1775, aged 85 years. She is buried in Towamencin Cem.

Im Nahme des dreyeinigen Gottes
Nachdem von geraumer Zeit her, wie denn maniglich (?) bekant, der Ehe und und arbeitsame junge Geselle,
Christoph Reinwald, des Melchior Reinwalds hinterlassene Sohn, sich mit der Susanna Seibtin, des Hans Christoph
Seibts eheliche Tochter geworben um sich mit derselben in ehelichen Stand einzulassen welches Wissens ihr Will und
Belieben gewesen 1st, und dahero schon vor Zeiten einander Lieb und Treu, Ehe und Redlichkeit, auch in Lieb und
Leid keines das Andere zuverlassen, vor Gott versprochen. Dieweil aber um wegen vielen Hindernisse und unser
wohlbewussten Unruhe in Schlesien zu der gewohnlichen priesterlichen Copulation nicht haben konnen gelangen,
sowol auch seither ihrer Entvveichung sich etwa unter uns zu keiner Ordnung geschikket hat, dasz sie auch, aiisserlich
zusammen gegeben und versprochen hatten konnen werden und sie aber gern die Sach in eine Richtigkeit hiitten damit
sie Niemand keinen Anstosz, Argwohn noch Argernis geben mochten, so ist zu diesem Ende der heutige Tag als.nem-
lich der 1 Nov., alten Calendar erwahlt und ausgsetzet worden an welchem sie sich beyderseits um Par Zeugen erboten
und in Gegenwart derselben einander offentlich Lib und Treu Ch und Redlichkeit einander in Lieb und Leid nicht
zuverlassen, auch sich als christliche Eheleute vor Gott und den Menschen aufzuftihren zugesaget und versprochen und
durch einen Handschlag beyder rechten Handen solches bekraftiget, bestettiget und befestiget. Dasz nun solches
gewisz und wahrhaftig geschehen, und sie dadurch bey jederman auser alien Yerdacht gesetzet werden mochten,
haben zu mehrer Bekraftigung und Befestigung sich obgemeldte dazu erbetene Zeugen allhier eigenhandig unterschrie-
ben, als nemlich.

(Translated by H. W. K.)
In the name of the triune God
Inasmuch as for some time past as is well known, the worthy and industrious bachelor, Christoph Reinwald, son
of the late Melchior Reinwald, has paid court to Susanna Seibt, legitimate daughter of Hans Christoph Seibt, with the
intention of being united to her in marriage which was also her will and inclination in consequence of which they some
time since mutually pledged to each other before God love and fidelity, honor and uprightness, and neither in joy or
sorrow to forsake each other. But since on account of the many hindrances and many well known disturbances in
Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
631
Silesia, the customary priestly copulation could not be secured, neither have regulations been established among us
since their plight so that they might be publicly united and pledged to each other and they desire to have the matter
properly adjusted in order that they may not be the occasion of offence, suspicion or scandal to any one.
To this end, therefore, today, November 1, old style, was selected and appointed and a few witnesses chosen by
each of them in whose presence they have publicly pledged themselves and promised to each other love and fidelity,
honor and uprightness, neither in joy or sorrow' to forsake each other and to conduct themselves before God and man
as Christian husband and wife and solemnly confirmed, corroborated and made binding the same by the joining of
their right hands.
In testimony that this was really and truly performed to the end that in the eyes of all each may be held above
suspicion and that the same may be the more fully confirmed and established we, the chosen witnesses as before
stated, have subscribed our names, namely:

Christopher Reinewald was a farmer and lived in Towamencin Twp., near Kulpsville, Pa.
Tradition says David Reinewald had a fine coat which he prized highly and which, for fear of being
stolen during the encampment of the Revolutionary soldiers in Towamencin, he hid under the bushes
along the Towamencin Creek, and brought it from its hiding-place again after the soldiers left. [ J . W.
Springer. ]
Rosina Reinewald had a son, John Mitchell, born 1806. William Springer has in his possession
an indenture between Rosanna Reinewald, Spinster, and Emanuel Schwartz, binding John Mitchell out to
learn a trade; dated, June 6, 1811, aged 5 years, 8 months. John Mitchell died July 20, 1829; he and
his mother are buried in the Mennonite Cem., Kulpsville, Pa.

In the census of 1790, David Reinewald’s name is also given as “Davis Rinewalt.” His family
consisted of 4 males over 16, including head of family; 1 male under 16 and 4 females.
On Feb. 26, 1801, Jacob Beary and Mary, ux., granted and conveyed to “David Rinewalt, Sr.”
and “David Rinewalt, Jr.” a messuage or tract of 27 A, 126 P, in Coventry Twp., Pa. On Jan. 2,
1819, David, Jr., Joseph et ux., Adam et ux., Daniel Benner et ux., Jacob Beale etux., and Susanna,
deeded the same land to Henry Saybold, for $1290.25. The widow released her dower, Jan. 9, 1819,
and the two sons of Jacob released, Mar. 14, 1837. [Cf. D. B. 0486-31. W anger.]
On Mar. 30, 1820, Henry Shenkle deeded to David Rinewalt, mason, 7 A, 104 P, who sold the same
to Jacob Beale, May 12, 1823, for $162.50. [ Wanger .]
On Mar. 31, 1852, Joseph Reinwalt [44-26] took out letters of administration in the estate of
Susanna Reinewald. Collateral inheritance tax was paid, hence no direct heirs.

indebted to George F. P. Wanger, Pottstown, Pa.]

In Melchior Reinewald’s family the census of 1790 gives 1 male, 2 females; probably his sister
Susanna lived with him.

Reinewald [44-2] ; m GODFREY BOSTAN. Godfrey Bostan lived near White’s corner, near Lansdale,
Pa., and probably had no children. J. W. Springer, Kulpsville, Pa., has his sale bill.
“M. by Rev. Geo. Wack, July 17, 1808; Godrey Bosseyn and Maricho Reinewald.” [Perk. Reg.]
Tombstone in Towamencin Schw. Cem. has inscription: “Maria Bossen, d Feb. 3, 1826, aged
55 yr. 25 da.”
[44-6] REGINA (RACHEL) REINWALD, b May 4, 1773; d Sept. 1, 1818; dau Christopher and
Maria (Meschter) Reinewald [44-2]; m JOHN GARNER, b 1744; d 1827.
One child: Anna.
John Garner was evidently married twice, his first wife being a Mary Lewis who died about 1800.
In 1773 and again 1783 Mary Garner joined with her husband, John Garner, in deeds of land con¬
veyances. In the year 1802 no wife joined John Garner, and in the year 1810 Rachel joined him in
deeds. This leads one to believe that Mary Lewis Garner died about 1800. From court records we
also learn that John Garner had nine children: (1) Catharine, who married a Mr. Burth and had a
daughter Margaret Burth; (2) John, who was married and died about 1805; (3) George, who died before
1879; (4) Samuel, who died about 1828; (5) Peter; (6) Henry; (7) Mary; (8) Elizabeth, and (9) Anna.
It is believed that the first eight children were children of his first wife, Mary Lewis Garner, whereas
it is supposed that the ninth child, Anna, was the daughter of his second wife, Rachel Rinewalt Garner.
In 1826 John Garner, for his daughter Nancy (Anna), signed a release of legacy to Abraham
Rinewalt, executor, of the estate of Christoph or Christian Rinewalt, whose will was probated in 1815.
This shows that in 1826, Rachel Rinewalt, wife of John Garner, was deceased and also that Anna was a
minor in 1826, her father being her legal representative. Recognizing only Anna, as the only child of
John Garner and his wife, Rachel Rinewalt, it appears that this was the only Garner grandchild of

Christian Rinewalt. Anna must have been a number of years younger than all the rest of John Garner’s
children. It has been impossible to obtain any further data concerning this daughter, Anna, but
presumably she was never married. [W. H. Reed.]

“Forty years ago Joseph Reinwalt made a motion to establish a Central High School in North
Coventry Twp., Chester Co., Pa. His motion was defeated. About two years ago such a school was
established on the very spot urged by Mr. Reinwalt.” [Lewis R. Harley, 1920.]

Coventry Twp. [Harley F am.]
[44-28] JACOB RINEWALT, s Adam and Hannah (Price) Rinewalt [44-12]; m MARIA DE
DOLORES MONTERDE Y TIRADO; dau Francisco Monterde.
Jacob Rinewalt went to Mexico as a young man and married a young woman of the Spanish
Nobility. Mr. Rinewalt joined the Catholic Church in order to be married by that ceremony. Her full
name was said to have been Maria de Dolores Monterde y Tirado.
Mr. Rinewalt is said to have established the first stage routes between the towns of Mexico and
Pueblo, finishing the same in 1823. He engaged in railroad enterprises later and is said to have em¬
ployed 500 men at one time in this construction. Mr. Rinewalt is reported to have accumulated a
great deal of wealth and his wife was also a woman of wealth.
Mr. Rinewalt’s father was very unwilling to have his son so far away from home, and was desirous
of having him come North. The son was making plans to do so when he and his two children were
stricken with cholera and all died.
Adam Rinewalt, Jr., a brother, corresponded with Jacob’s widow, through an interpreter, for some
time, but after a time the replies from Mexico ceased to come and it was reported that the widow had
entered a Catholic Convent, and had given all her wealth, in addition to that given her by her husband
to that institution.
A report is extant that Jacob Rinewalt was killed by a band of robbers, but the above account is
given by Mrs. Charlotte Ingersoll, Williamsville, N. Y., who, as a girl, read some of the letters from the
Spanish noblewoman.
Mrs. Ingersoll also has in her possession a photograph of Jacob Rinewalt and wife, as well as a
photograph of their marriage license, which is printed in Spanish. [See Plate.]
Mrs. Ingersoll also has a diary which her father, Adam Rinewalt, wrote entitled “Excursions through
the northern and western states.” He started on the 14th of October, 1835, visiting his brother, George,
in Indiana and made his first visit to Williamsville, New York. He reached Fort Wayne, Ind., the 22d
of November. “From Wayne I traveled about 60 miles to Huntstown, a small village, and from there
2j/2 miles southwest to brother George.” The following day he and his brother George went to Indian¬
apolis, a distance of 35 miles.

The following verses were composed by Eliza D. Rinewalt (afterwards the wife of Dr. Jacob Reazor), about twenty
years ago, on her father’s family and transcribed for the Coventry friends, Jan. 15, 1861:
My father’s in his seventieth year,
These twenty years he could not hear;
Although he hears no human voice,
The Lord still makes his heart rejoice.
My sister S [Sarah Wells] is getting old,
I fear in death will soon be cold,
Her spirit then to heaven will go,
For she does her duty here below.
My mother died when I was young;
She felt that she was going home,
And then it was her earnest prayer
That she might meet her children there.
My brother J [Jacob Rinewalt] to the South did go,
And settled there in Mexico,
And when he thought to us to come,
It pleased the Lord to call him home.

Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families
My brother G [George Rinewalt] comes next in song,
To Indiana he has gone.
And I think he there will stay,
Until by death is called away.
My sister C [Catharine Supplee] was married young,
And in her youth she left her home,
To live with him who promised fair,
In health and sickness for to share.
My sister M [Mary Wessler] is far away,
At home she would no longer stay,
The man she married would not rest,
Until they settled in the West.
My brother A [Adam Rinewalt] is also gone,
And in New York he has his home,
He is married to a lady fair,
And now his family is his care.
My sister H [Hannah Supplee] is single yet,
But if the bachelor she does get,
I think ere long she will be joined,
I hope true happiness she may find.
My sister L [Lydia Essick] has often said,
She thought that she would never wed,
But now her mind is changed I see,
And soon a preacher’s wife she’ll be.
And as I am the youngest one
I think that I will stay at home.
And live with father and sister S,
In the state of single blessedness.
[Kindness of George W anger.)

Adam Rinewalt, in his diary of his trip to visit his brother George, states that he reached Fort
Wayne, Ind., Nov. 22, 1835; travelled 60 mi. to a small village called Huntstown, and from thence
“234 miles southwest to brother George’s.” The following day he and his brother George went to
Indianapolis, a distance of 35 miles.

Nov. 1, 1818; d Jan. 10, 1891; dau James and Mary (Emerich) Miller.
Left an ophan at the age of two years, John Rinewalt, when old enough, was ‘‘bound out.” He
received very little schooling, learned the miller’s trade and ran the “Moore Hall Mill,” near Phoenix-
ville, Pa., and another in Norristown, Pa.
In 1841 he removed to Illinois and long before any railroad crossed the state, he and his partner
built a large stone mill to which people drove ox teams for 40 miles to have their grists ground. They
laid out the town of Mt. Carroll, Ill., and established a school which is now (1919) named “The
Frances Shimer School.” By indefatigable energy, Mr. Rinewalt succeeded in bringing to
the town the first railroad in that section, of which he was at first a director and later a vice-president.
Accomplishing what he did with the handicap of his early years indicates that John Rinewalt was a
man of great force.

Chalmers Ingersoll was born in Westfield, N. Y., the son of New Englanders, his father dying
while Chalmers was still a young boy. After living in Westfield and Brockport, N. Y., for several
years, Mr. Ingersoll went to Greenfield, Mass., where he learned the printer’s trade.
In 1856 he located in Freeport, Ill., and followed his trade as printer. Leaving Freeport, he went
to Chicago and was employed by The Tribune when the Civil War broke out. He was one of the first
to enlist in the army of the North, and served three years with Co. G, 8th Ill. Cavalry, and re-enlisted
as a veteran when his first term of enlistment expired. After nearly four years of service, he was
discharged on account of illness. Mr. Ingersoll participated in some of the fiercest engagements of the
War. He was at Gaines’ Mills through the Potomac campaign, in the battles of Fredericksburg,
Antietam and Gettysburg, besides numerous smaller engagements.
In 1866 Mr. Ingersoll went to Beloit, Wis., and started the Beloit Free Press, but in 1872 sold the
paper to engage in manufacturing. He was the first to put out the paper plates used so commonly by
grocerymen. In 1882 he formed a partnership with H. F. Hobart and published the Daily Free Press,
but Mr. Hobart retired soon after and Mr. Ingersoll continued the publication of the paper alone, until
1904, when M. C. Hanna of Milwaukee was admitted into partnership, and finally sold his interest
in the Free Press to the “Free Press Publishing Co.” in 1907.
For nearly 20 years, Mr. Ingersoll was postmaster at Beloit, having been first appointed by Presi¬
dent Hayes. Aside from the postmastership, Mr. Ingersoll held many political honors, but gave his
efforts unselfishly for others. He served as Sergeant-at-Arms in the Wisconsin Senate from 1870 to
1880; often was a delegate to congressional and state conventions, and a member of Beloit Common
Council.
It was stated at the time of his death that there was, in all probability, no Beloit man so widely
known in the state or who had possessed so much influence in political matters as Mr. Ingersoll. All
through his life he was the highest type of American politician.

Mr. Rinewalt was born in Williams ville, N. Y., where his parents were among the early settlers.
He attended the district school and academy of his native town. At the age of sixteen he went to
Beloit, Wis., where he learned the printer’s trade, thus laying a practical foundation for the profession
that was to be his life work. He returned to New York state in his twenty-first year, and secured a
position with the Commercial Advertiser , Buffalo. He remained with them for nine years, when he
established the Amherst Bee at Williamsville, which he has successfully conducted ever since.
Mr. Rinewalt was prominent in Williamsville not only as a newspaper man, but as a promoter of
many commercial enterprises. He was among the first to urge the building of the Buffalo and Williams¬
ville electric railroad, holding the offices of director and secretary. He has been largely engaged in
real estate transactions, and was connected with creamery and other business enterprises. No man
in the community was more devoted to its interests. He concerned himself especially with the public
schools of the town, the establishment of waterworks, and other movements tending to the advance¬
ment of Williamsville.
He was elected collector of Amherst in 1881, and declined a renomination for that office. For nine
years he was a trustee of the village of Williamsville, and during five of those years he was president of
the village. In 1886 he was elected a school trustee. He served continuously in that position, and was
president of the board of education at the time of his death.
During President Harrison’s administration, Mr. Rinewalt was postmaster of Williamsville.
He was a representative man among his fellow-citizens who time and again displayed their appreciation
of his services to the community, and their confidence in his ability and character. [The Men of New

was living with his son Christopher in 1732, in Berthelsdorf.
Melchior Neuman and his wife Maria came to Pa. in 1734, with their son Christopher. Melchior

probably lived in Gwynedd Twp., Pa., as he conveyed property to Philip Hoot [ Plate F XXIV].

Neuman [48-la]; in 1756 she m HEINRICH SCHNEIDER, b Aug. 3, 1729; d Apr. 2, 1797; and
settled in Gwynedd Twp., now Montg. Co., Pa. Heinrich Schneider was not in the good graces of
father Neuman when he courted Rosina, because he was a member of the Lutheran Church. Tra¬
dition states that Heinrich eloped with Rosina and they were married by a Lutheran clergyman;
upon learning of the elopement of his daughter, father Neuman is said to have exclaimed in German,
“Ride, ride, he who can ride. Henry has stolen my Rosa!” It is stated that after Schneider joined
the Society of Schwenkf elders, father Neuman relented and forgave the eloping couple. It was by
this means that the name of Schneider (Snyder) was introduced into the list of Schwenkfelder
names. Heinrich Schneider was born in Germany and came to Pa., Aug. 30, 1749.

It has been impossible to trace all of the children of Heinrich and Rosina (Neuman) Schneider.
The data in the old Genealogical Record was not complete as the name of Jacob was omitted.
In a release of 175 acres of land, signed Aug. 7, 1802, we find the following as children of Henry
Schneider, releasing to John Schneider, a son:
Michael Rinewalt and Rosanna his wife of Towamencin.
George Schneider and Susanna his wife of Franconia.
Christopher Schneider, Cordwainer and his wife of Hatfield.
Henry Schneider and Regina his wife of Souderton.
Christian Schneider and Susanna his wife of Towamencin.
Abraham Wiegner, weaver, and Susanna, his wife of Worcester.
Jacob Schneider and his wife Eve of Worcester.
The same conveyed to Henry Schneider, on Feb. 29, 1760. [D. B. 19:202 Norristown.]
Thus it appears that John Schneider must have been married and secured the homestead, but it
has been impossible to trace his family.
Again in the will of Christopher Schneider [48-6b] of Hatfield, probated on Aug. 10, 1810, he speaks
of his beloved wife Mary; his five brethren and two sisters: “George, Henry, Christian, Jacob, John,
Rosina Reinewald, Susanna Wiegner, and Baltzer Heidrig, George Heidrig, and Eve Krieble, brothers
and sister of my first wife.”
