This history is dedicated to the descendants of Nicholas Beery No. 1, who manifested a very active part in furnish- ing me with many points of interest, inchuling valuable information. These contributors are legion,- who, for their efficient work, many thanks are due. INTRODUCTION. Where do you find an intelligent people who would post pone any secular work or business transaction for 200 years, with an evident prospect of never having it accom- plished? This is precisely what has been neglected in producing a written history long ago of Nicholas Beery and his many thousands of descendants. The author acknowledges that deep down in his heart he has an insuppressible feeling that we should do honor and reverence to our dear and worthj- ancestors, who paved the way for our American liberties and our Chris- tian privileges, and our present prosperity. I very much doubt whether there is one in a thousand of the readers of this history who even thinks of, or appreciates the bless- ings that have come to us through the emigration to America of our dear old ancestor, Nicholas Beery, of 1727. He, with thousands of others who were compelled by the Swiss government to do military service and who entertained non-resistant principles, left that domain and came to America, where religious liberty was promised to them by William Penn, through whose tireless and angelic efforts these conscientious and harmless people were sheltered in Pennsylvania. Because of persecution and oppression in Switzerland a large body of Mennonites fled from the cantons of Zurich, Berne and Schaffenhausen to Pennsylvania, where they purchased a large body of timber land of Penn's agents in Lancaster and other counties, where, among the Indians and wild beasts, the Swiss settlement formed a nucleus or center of a rapidly-increasing Swiss, German and French colonj-. Scarcelj' had these sturdy Mennonites made many im- provements, when in 1719 they sent Martin Kindig as a commissioner to Germany and Switzerland to induce others to come to Pennsylvania, in which he was success- ful. From 1700 to 1730 the influx was so great as to call forth public attention, but finding that these harmless people were a great source of benefit to the country the objections were withdrawn. They were those of whom Governor Thomas of Pennsylvania in 1738 said: "This province has for some years been the asylum for the dis- tressed Protestants of Switzerland and Germany, and I believe it may truthfully be said that the present flourish- ing condition of our country is due to the economy and industry of these harmless and law-abiding people." It is very evident that Nicholas Beery and his early descendants had braved the danger of settling in the wilderness among wild beasts, including some occasional savage Indians, besides the inconvenience of pioneer life. For instance, the plow with the wooden moldboard; the harness made of hickory withes; the wheels of cut blocks without tires; the hoe, and the reap hook; these few things constituted the farming outfit. The log cabins were constructed, perhaps, without a single nail, and if the cabin had any window, perhaps greased paper or skins did service instead of glass. There were no cook stoves, no sewing machines, no pianos, no fine clothing nor ruffles, etc. These humble people had no opportunity to get such lu.xuries, neither did they want them. The men were engaged in clearing the forest and tilling their small fields, while the women found employment, not only in 'their household duties, but in operating the hemp and flax break, the spinning wheel and the loom that pro- duced the linsey and tow linen which clothed the young men and maidens when they appeared at the marriage altar. Their plain, healthful diet, in a changeable way, was Mush and milk for supper, and. Milk and mush for breakfast. All these things occurred long before the " dude " was born and before the existence of the tramp, the pick- pocket, the " grafter," the robber and the murderer. What a great contrast in 200 years'. We are led to believe that in too many cases prosperity is the ruination of many people as well as nations. Among the Beerys there are today thousands of de- scendants, scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Alaska and Canada to Florida and Texas, and the great majority of them are a fine people, who in the past as well as the present are devoting their lives to re- ligious principles. They are included among the various vocations of the business and professional world. We find ministers of the Gospel in the various denominations of today, as well as doctors, lawyers, teachers, farmers and intelligent, educated men and women in vast num- bers. To return to my ancient notes: I must not fail to say that since the year 1606 milli-ons have left their homes in the old countries, which to them was the dearest spot on earth, to which their hearts often returned with sad- ness for their oppressed loved ones who were left on the dark continent, many of whom were old and not able to endure the perilous journey. These were separations for life. Religious persecutions and political oppressions brought millions to America, and from 1682 to 1776 Pennsylvania was the central po^nt of immigrants from Switzerland and Germany. Penn's liberal views and the liberal atti- tude of the government of New York toward them induced them to come to this colonial province. Is there any question in your mind, dear reader, as to what your condition would have been had our ances- tors remained in that tyrannical country, instead of mak- ing it possible for us to enjoy the prosperity of American liberty? May we in thankfulness aspire to everything that is worthy of Christian honor and good, and may we never forsake the virtues of our aged parents, and bring shame and reproach upon an honored name. The Germans, Swiss, French and Dutch formed the greatest portions of the first settlements in Pennsylvania and were the ancestors of the toiling millions of today, the ancestors of the now rich and poor, the ancestors of the honored men and the criminal, the Presidents and their cabinets, the Christian and the infidel, the million aire and the pauper, all miscellan'eously mixed up in thi> world's business matters, and many of whom, and es- pecially the ungodly, seldom, perhaps never, entertain a single thought of thankfulness to their ancestors who cared for them, and much less to the God who created and preserved them. lOSEPH H. WENGER. PREFACE. The progenitor of this vast Beery History and lineage dates back to Switzerland, over 200 years ago. It is very strange, and also to be regretted, that no one of this in- telligent lineage, and the descendants of the last two centuries, considered it a worthy deed to produce a family history of these noted, intelligent and God-fearing sons and daughters of this ancient pioneer, Nicholas Beery. A. W. Dupler, a young descendant, formerly of Thorn- ville, Ohio, but later of Huntingdon College, Pa., had made an effort to secure some points; but through the pressure of ministerial and college work the undersigned has been authorized to undertake the tedious and difficult task and produce it in book form. The beginning of my eflforts upon this W'ork finds me past the 73rd milestone of life, and undoubtedly I may not live to see it completed; yet I will cheerfully do what I can. However, you will readily perceive that I am a self-educated man and rather in a limited way; therefore do not expect any polish or fluence in mj^ work. THE AUTHOR. A FEW FACTS. The author, who has written the Wenger History from 1727 to 1903, as also the Abraham Beery (my ancestor) history, from Switzerland, from 1718 to 1905, is of the opinion that there is not one in a thousand of the readers who realize the amount of work connected with writing a family history, reaching over a space of 200 years; from Switzerland to Colonial America and down to the present time, and especially so, when many of the de- scendants have passed away and the remainder are scat- tered to all points of the compass. In order to accomplish this difficult work it was neces- sary to gain all information entirely through the mails. The first difficult point was to obtain the names and addresses of any one to whom I could write for the neces- sary information. The descendants were to be hunted up, grandfathers and grandmothers were interviewed, family Bibles, old documents and public records were searched, and the reader may imagine the multitude of letters of inquiry that were sent over the United States. The author has traveled over thirty-five States, besides Canada and Old Mexico, and has found Wengers and Beerys in all except the latter. The descendants are numerous and if in this history a few errors occur, as a matter of fact in nine cases out of ten they are due to the illegible writing of those who sent in their points of information. Where there are entire omissions of families or persons, or dates, it is positively due to their failure to respond to mj^ continued calls. Some to whom I have written for information pay no attention to my requests, neither do they answer my inquiries. To such I would say that I must politelj' leave them out of the history. EXPLANATION. No. 10 means the tenth family recorded. Third genera- tion means the third step from the ancestor down. The figure 8, following the word generation, refers you back to No. 8, where the parents are found. (1) (2) (3) in- dicates the order of their birth in the family from which they came. After the name, and date of birth comes No. 20, which indicates where his famil}' of children are re- corded farther on. Use numbers; pay no attention to pages. For example — take some of your best known relations. Part One NICHOLAS BEERY No. 1. First Generation. The subject of this sketch, and the progenitor of this vast history, was born in Switzerland in 1707, possibly in the vicinity of Berne or the Wenger Alps (see map). From birth to early in 1727 his history is blank, except that at the age of 20 years, he, like all other able-bodied youijg men, was compelled by the laws of that country to do service in the government army. For a minor transgression of army rules he was to undergo a court martial trial, and it was expected that punishment would have to be inflicted upon him; but, through the kindness of some of his friends, he was secretly conveyed quite a distance in a barrel to the port of Rotterdam, in Holland, where he took ship to America. During those years many thousands suddenly left that domain, believing in non-resistance and that war was contrary to gospel principles. Mr. Beery's church rela- tion is not positively known, but his descendants were strongly non-resistant Mennonites and Dunkard Breth- ren. Many of them were able ministers in those two de- nominations. Nothing can be learned of his parents or ancestors, nor anything to antedate his birth, over 200 years ago. As stated, he sailed on June 20, 1727, from Rotterdam, Hol- land, on the old-style sailing vessel of that date, and four months later, on Oct. 16, 1727, he reached the port of 13 Philadelphia, Pa., where in the emigrant registry of that His place he is found as Nicholas X Beery, which Mark is an evidence that he could at least not write his name in the English language. The ship upon which he sailed was called the " Friend Ship," with about 200 passengers on board, and during that long and dangerous voyage many were sick and a number died. Soon after his arrival in Pennsylvania he settled in Adams county (some say Berks county). In 1736 Abraham Beery came from Switzerland and settled at the same place with Nicholas (See Abraham Beery History), and we now have the evidence that they were brothers. Tradition says that three stalwart, robust Beery broth- ers at different dates came from Switzerland to Pennsyl- vania. The third brother, William Beery, went south and settled in North Carolina. Nothing farther was known of him or his descendants for near!}' 200 years, when, in a mysterious iway, in 1909 they were located, and now the available points of information concerning their line- age will be included in this present history, which com- pletes the lineage of the aforesaid^ three brothers; the Abraham Beery History having been completed by the same author in 1905. In later years, perhaps 1780 or 1785, Nicholas and his brother Abraham im their old age settled in the Shenan- doah Valley, near Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Va., where some of their children had previously settled, and where these old brothers spent the remainder of their lives. The date of Nicholas' death is not known, but he is supposed to be buried at the Trissel Mennonitc church cemetery, north of Edom, Rockingham County, Va., as he lived in that vicinity. Abraham, who was born in Switzerland in 1718, and died May 2, 1799, was buried at Union church cemetery, near his home at Cross Keys, five miles southeast of Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Va., where over a hundred years later, in 1903, his descendants placed neat tombstones. So many of these incidients occurred about 200 years ago, and the reader must not be alarmed to know tha'' 14 perhaps some points of interest are not available. And again it may be possible that a few of the dates of the old ancestors may differ from what some of the readers may presume; as in a few cases the information conflicts, but the author is careful to quote only from the best au- thorities. It is also ascertained tliat other Beerys at different dates registered at Philadelphia. Therefore we may find other Beerys whom we can not even link to the lineage of the three foregoing brothers, for instance: Peter Beery, Sr., and Peter Beery, Jr., came Sept. 15, 1748. Johannes Heinrich Beery, came Oct. 26, 1767. Jacob Beery, came Sept. 17, 1771. And other Beerys, came in 1772. I have at present no evidence when nor whom Nicholas married; nor whether he had any other children besides one son whom we call Nicholas No. 2. Later tradition says that Nicholas No. 2 had a brother, Jacob. (See No. 9.) No. 2. Second Generation. 1. 1) Nicholas Beery, born in Pennsylvania, June 16, 1739; died near Bremen, Ohio, Feb. 16, 1811. The subject of this sketch was born in Adams Co.. Pa. (Some say in Berks Co.) Later in life he came to the Shenandoah Valley, near Harrisonburg, Rocking- ham Co., Va., where he and his family lived many years. He married Elisabeth Keller, by whom he had twelve children. Later, and in Virginia, in 1789, he married Mrs. Mary Good, nee Gro, who was born in Rockingham Co., Va., in 1756, and died near Bremen, Fairfield Co., Ohio, Oct. 31, 1840. Four children by the second marriage; total 16, all married except one and had families. In those days the Beerys were stalwart and prolific. Nicho-las Beery, No. 2. died Feb. 16, 1811, and is buried in the Miller cemetery, about one mile southeast of Berne Station, near Lancaster, Fairfield Co.. Ohio. In 1805 he, with a portion of his family, emigrated from Virginia to the above named place, where some of his older children had previously settled. Some say that he entered a section of land; others claim that he entered 15 from the government, in John Q. Adams' administration, sixteen sections of wild timber land, equal to 10,240 acres, on Raccoon Creek, in Fairfield Co., not far from Bremen, upon which he built a cabin, sawmill and flouring mill. These sixteen sections of land were equal to his sixteen children. Tradition has it that the old Beery generations were very prolific families, which can evidently be noticed by their history, and up to about the year 1800 Rocking- ham Co., Va., rocked the cradle for the large family of Nicholas Beery, No. 2. Besides those of his uncle, Abram Beery, children and grandchildren. (See Abe Beery His- tory of 1905.) It seems that previous to the year 1800 and later, Rockingham Co., Va., was flooded with Beerys of the same names; preferably, Abraham, Nicholas, Daniel, George, John, etc., and for distinction they called' them, Big, Little, Tall, Short, Black, Red, Old, Young, Fuller, Muddy Creek, Hog and Lazy, etc. As previously stated, in 1805 Nicholas, with his large family, besides some of his cousins, came as a flood to Bremen, Ohio, where the Beery cradle has been rocking for over a hundred years, and still continues, not only in Ohio, but all over the United States. Some of the descendants of Nicholas, No. 2, think that he was a member of the Dunkard Brethren or Mennonite church. The following is the family of Nicholas Beery, No. 2, who are the ancestors of this vast lineage: 1. John Beery, b. Nov. 4, 1765. No. 3. 2. Jacob Beery, b. 1766. No. 4. *3. Barbara Beery, b.

It is worthy of note that the children and some of the grandchildren, of Nicholas Beery, No. 2, were born near Harrisonburg, Rockingham Co., Va., the former home of the author. For the interest of the Beery descendants, I would say that the above county was in 1777 formed from Augusta Co., which at that time included what are now known as many counties, reaching several hundred miles west to the Ohio River, the hunting grounds of the Indians. Rockingham county is in the central part of the Shen- andoah Valley, ranging from thirty to fifty miles in width and (5ver a hundred miles in length. It is bounded on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the west by the Alleghanies. Harrisonburg, the county seat, was founded in 1780 by Mr. Thomas Harrison, who donated the site for the first court house. The most important part of this sketch is that the sixteen children of Nicholas. No. 2, as well as of his de- scendants, were born and reared in the above vicinity. When as a flood, soon after 1800, they removed to Bremen, Fairfield County, Ohio, they soon became so numer- ous that fictitious names had to be resorted to in order to distinguish one from the other. At one time nearly everything in Rockingham Co. was Beery, and later Bre- men, Ohio, rocked the Beery cradle, and still continues. Yet many of the Beerys have scattered to many parts of the United States.— J. H. W. 17 Copy of the Will of Nicholas Beery, No. 2. Bearing Date of May 15, 1811. " In the name of God, amen. I, Nicholas Beery, of the State of Ohio and County of Fairfield, being weak in body but of sound mind and understanding; blessed be God for the same; do make this, my last will and testament . . . First, I direct that my just debts shall be paid. I then bequeath to my wife, Mary Beery, the one-third of the home farm ... so long as she remains my widow, and in case she marries again she is to have one- third of the annual rent. I authorize my executors to have said farm and appurtenances valued by twelve disinter- ested freeholders, and from such appraisement value the one-third of the rent or interest shall go to my said wife during her natural life. I likewise bequeath to her one milch cow of her choice, one bed and bedding, two sheep, one bake oven, one pot, one set of knives and forks, and one-half dozen plates, and the remaining part of my es- tate shall be equally divided among my children, except- ing the land, which I give and bequeath to my son, Jo- seph Beery, 150 acres of the home farm, to be his own at his mother's death. During her widowhood and while she lives in the mansion house he is to have the use of the farm and pay her one-third of the profits, which in case of her remarriage, the remaining two-thirds are to be paid to my daughter, Rebecca *Beery, to he conveyed by my son, Jacob Beery, with other lands therein specified. And I give and bequeath unto my son, Christian Beery, the one-fourth section of land lying on the south side of Rush Creek, and the first money that can be collected shall be taken to pay said quarter section, as also the quarter sec- tion on which my son, Abraham Beery, now resides. " Lastly, I appoint my trusty friends, John Beery and William Trumble, to be my e.xecutors of this, my last will, hereby revoking all other wills and testaments by me here- tofore made. In witness whereof I have hereunto sub- scribed my name and aflfixed my seal this 15th day of May, 1811. ♦Her descendants call her Frances.

Margaret Shafcr, born in Rockingham Co., Va., Dec. 10, 1765; died March 31, 1845; married March 15, 1788. They were buried in a small family graveyard on the farm now owned by Isaiah Driver, a short distance north of North Berne, Fairfield Co., Ohio. In 1805 they, with hundreds of others, at different dates, emigrated to Fairfield Co., Ohio, which at that time was the only West, and abounded in timber, Indians and wild beasts. The popular and only mode of travel of these emigrants was team, covered wagons, and camping outfit. Mr. Beery and his brothers and ancestors were a stout, robust set of people. He was a kind-hearted man and was said to never have given a cross word to any one, not even to his enemies. He owned a fine farm on Upper Raccoon Creek in Fair- field Co., now owned by the heirs of Lewis Beery. At the age of 80 years and during the same year that his first wife died, he married a Mrs. Blosser, of Bremen, Ohio, with whom he lived about four years until his death. They were members of the Mennonite church. For dis- tinction Mr. Beery was called Red John. Children of John and Margaret (Shafcr) Beery: *Signs of Birth. 1. Nicholas Beery, b. March 8, 1789. Lion.

Both are buried in the Bibler cemetery near McCutchenville, Wyandot Co., Ohio. In a few years after their marriage in Virginia they emigrated to Fairfield Co., Ohio, in 1803, and settled in the woods near Berne Station, just east of Lancaster, where they opened a fine farm, now owned by Frank Beery (son of Lewis, Sr. See Abe Beery History, Nos. 47 and 158). , In 1832 this worthy family moved to near McCutchen- ville, Wyandot Co., where these early pioneers invested largely in government lands and accumulated a large for- tune. They were a hearty, robust couple, as evidenced by their posterity, who were a matter of fact people. Their Children. 1. Nicholas Beery, b. in Virginia, 1796. See No. 19. 2. Abraham D. Beery, b.

The old people were Mennon- ites; Jacob, the subject of this sketch, and his sister Nancy (see No. 4) both having married in the Nicholas Beery family. 22 sylvania April 16, 1771; died near Bremen, Ohio, May 21, 1844. Married in 1784 or 1785. They were Mennonites, of which church he was a minister. Another reports that Ja- cob Geil died May 21, 1840. I am informed that the fam- ily record of this Geil family was at some time destroyed during the burning of the home. Hence some of the points are difficult to obtain. — ^J. H. W. Because of the difficulty in securing the poin'ts as to this family, and especially the dates of births, I have at present no means of knowing how to place them in ro- tation, as is customary. They are reported (as supposedly) in the way they belong. If before publication I can learn of the dates of births and interline them, they may show to not be in rotation of births. — J. H. W. 1.

They moved by wagon and team from Rockingham Co., Va , through the mountains, in 1805, and settled about one mile east of Berne, Fairfield Co., Ohio. They had various experiences in moving to Ohio. In descending the many mountains they were obliged to tie a tree to drag behind the wagon to prevent it from running over the team. In those days, Ohio was woods, Indians and wild beasts. They settled on the bluflfs on the north side of Raccoon Creek, one mile east of Berne, in Fairfield Co., Ohio, where •Reports differ; some claim and fix date July 20, 1775. 23 they spent the remainder of their long lives.

Henry Stenien was born in Pennsylvania May 26, 1775, and died near Bremen, Ohio, Aug, 19, 1855, over 80 years of age. The above couple were married in Vir- ginia and emigrated to Ohio in 1803, settling in the woods at the place where Bremen is now located. In 1809 he was called to the ministry in the Mennonite church. In 1820 he was ordained to the office of bishop, which office he held during life. In the last year of his life he delivered his bishopric to John M. Brenneman, later of Elida, Ohio. In Rev. Stemen's first years of the ministry the people in general were rude and were more accustomed to the howl of the wolf and the yell of the Indians than the cheery sound of the Gospel. He was one among the most eloquent preachers of that day, and made great inroads upon the unconverted com- munities. He never traveled by buggy or railroad, but on horseback, and often swam the high water streams to meet his appointments. His meetings were always conducted in the German language in the forty-six years of his min- istry. Family of Mary Beery and Rev. Henry Stemen, 1. John Stemen, b. in Green Co., Pa., Oct. 25, 1796.

Christian died Aug. 28, 1844, at the home of his son. Rev. Henry, and is buried at the Mennonite church cemetery, near Elida, Allen Co., Ohio. He was aged over 97 years. He was a Mennonite and raised a family of twelve children. No. 7. Third Generation. 2. 7) Isaac Beery, born in Pennsylvania, June 10, 1777, and died June 18, 1851. INIary Cradlebaugh, also born in Washington Co., Pa., Ecb. 29, 1784, died March 7, 1850. Both are buried near Bremen, Eairfield Co., Ohio. Their granddaughter, Mrs. Dianah S. Morris, says they were married in 1806. There was rather a romance connected with their first acquaintance and later their marriage. Both were raised in Pennsylvania, but up to this time had been strangers. Isaac Beery, as a single man, was mak- ing arrangements at Redding, Pa., for a trip to Ohio. 25 When he was about ready to start, Mary Cradlebaugh, a handsome, ambitious young girl, although an entire strang- er, heard of his intentions and at once applied for passage to Oihio for herself and sister, Catharine Cradlebaugh, who later married Isaac's brother George. It appeared that Cupid was busy and their attractions for each other at first sight were mutual, and they were married six weeks after they landed at Bremen, Ohio. Of their mode of travel I am not informed, but later they came down the Ohio River on a flatboat. Isaac Beery was a minister of promience and high char- acter in the Church of the Brethren, known as Dunkards.* His children, as noticed, were also members. Isaac and his family lived on a portion of his father's (Nicholas Beery's) large original purchase on Raccoon Creek, near Bremen, Fairfield county, Ohio. Note. — ^Mary and Catharine Cradlebaugh were daughters of John Cradlebaugh (German, Kradlebaugh), born in Germany about 1750, and educated by his uncle in Hol- land, who wanted John to join the army, to which he ob- jected. One day, at the age of 19, as he was standing at shiplanding, in Holland, he concluded to sail to America. He landed at New York and settled in western Pennsyl- vania. He joined the Revolutionary army and fought un- der Gen. George Washington. In 1782 he imarried Dorothea Moonshiner, and soon after entered the ministry, in the Germ^an Lutheran church. In 1802 they moved to Bre- men, Ohio, where he died in 1820, and is buried near Bremen upon an eminence overlooking Rush Creek. Their family consisted of Fred, John, Jacob, Andrew, Susan, Elizabeth, Mary and Catharine. The youngest two sisters married the two brothers, Isaac and George Beery. This is rather digressing from the Beery lineage, but *The parents of the above family were Dunkards, the father being a minister. They are known as the " Church of the Brethren," of which the author is a member. I hope the Brethren will pardon me for calling them " Dunkards," be- cause they are everywhere known by that name, especially by those who are not members. In my extensive travels I am often asked my church relation, and when I say " Church of the Brethren," they seem to know nothing about them, but when I say "Dunkards," they answer, "Yes; I know all about them as my ancestors were D'lnkards." — J.

Catharine Cra-dle- baugh (sister to his brother Isaac's wife), born in Wash- ington Co., Pa., Feb. 16, 1789; died Sept. 28, 1870; Dunkard or Mennonitc. They were married in the vicinity of Bre- men, Ohio, in 1809. (See romance in No. 7.) George Beery was the first Beery that came to Fairfield Co., Ohio, in 1800.* He came down the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers in a flatboat, and up the Hocking to the falls; thence through the woods to Lancaster, the infant county seat of Fairfield Co., Ohio, at that time. He began his fortune by clearing land at 25 cents per day. His father (Nicholas No. 2) and fifteen of his sixteen children soon came from Rockingham Co., Va., and all settled near Bre- men, Ohio. They were an industrious, sober people. In the year 1834 George Beery laid out the town of Bremen and began merchandising, which occupation is still fol- lowed by many of his descendants. In the War of 1812 he was pressed into the service with his team. He was a personal friend of the Hon. Thomas Ewing, in whose honor he named his tenth and youngest son, Thomas Ewing Beery. It is said by T. E. Beery that his father, George Beery, resembled George Washington. Mrs. George Beery was a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, 21 who later was a German Reformed minister of consider- able influence, and later in life also emigrated to Fairfield county, Ohio. Many of the George Beery descendants still reside in the vicinity of Bremen. George Beery first settled on Rush Creek, near Bremen. Mr. Beery and wife were members of the Mennonite church. I can not close thii article without referring to the first school taught in that vicinity by Christopher Welty in George Beery's kitchen. Following is his family, born in Fairfield Co., Ohio: 1.

Abraham Beery was a son of Jacob Beery (who married Miss Dillman), of whom tradition says that he was a brother to Nicholas No. 2, the father of the sixteen chil- dren in the fore part of this history. Hence, as above, Susan and Abraham were first cousins. He was familiarly called " Red Abe " for distinction, from the fact that in his day in Virginia, there was " Big Abe," " Little Abe," " Brush Abe," " Muddy Creek Abe," " Black Abe," and va- rious other Abes. Of " Red Abe's " brothers and sisters, 28 an account may be produced later on, provided the facts can be ascertained.* Susan, wife of " Red Abe " died at the age of 53 years. A few years later he married Margaret (name not given), who died in 1848, and later his third wife Elizabeth Grow. Mr. Beery was drafted into service in the war of 1812. He gave each of his ten children eighty acres of Congress land, which cost him $1.25 per acre, besides starting them up with houses, cattle and money. Family of Susan and Abraham Beery. 1.

His occupation was buying horses in Ohio and traveling them through mountains to Virginia, where he sold them at great profit, and often would sell on time among his old-time friends. In 1848 he left Wyandot county. Ohio, on foot to go to Virginia to collect a large sum of money due him for horses that he had previously sold. An effort was made to advise him not to take such a journe}- through the moumtains on foot, a distance of 500 miles, as it was feared .that some one would murder him for his noney. He went by the way of Fairfield county and was last 33 seen by friends there. He never returned to Ohio, and the aibove conclusion was verified.

The above husband and wife were in their early life deprived of educational advantages, having attended school only about six weeks. They were self-made people, but mastered the German and English languages in a scholarly manner. It is strange that while Mr. Stalter was a Bible student he was a Universalist. He was of German descent, his name originally being spelled " Staullter," later " Stal- der " and now "Stalter." Their children are: 1. Jacob Christian Stalter, b. near Mexico, Ohio, Oct. 25, 1834.

Oct. 16, 1844, he married Eliza Jacoby, a native 37 of Pennsylvania. Mr. Beery was of a restless disposition. He reared a large family, many of whom were educated, intelligent and useful people. Mr. Beery finally moved to Michigan, and died at Muir, in that state, on Jan. 18, 1878. He was brought back to Wyandot county, Ohio, and buried in the Bibler cemetery. Mrs. Beery died near McCutchenville, Ohio, Dec. 20, 1902, aged 82 years. She was a member of the M. E. church. Wm. J. Beery was the ninth and youngest child of Jacob Beery (See No. 4), and was of German ancestry. German was the language most spoken in the family. Their children were noted for their musical talent, with their father as leader, in the old-time " buckwheat ' notes. Later in life he became a minister in the church of the River Brethren, often making ministerial tours in other states and localities, and on one of these tours he died while in Michigan. In 1831 Mr. Beery, at the age of 16 years, visited Wyandot county, Ohio, which was sixteen years before the Wyandot Indians left that reservation, where later he spent the greater portion of his life, and where McCutchenville is now located.

Mrs. Beery has been a valuable helpmate to her husband in the home and church. 114 Mr. Beery owns and lives on a line farm with modern im- provements. In his early manhood he was known among his friends as " Honest John " on account of his strict integrity in business. He is rather a self-made man, and yet he possesses the intelligence of a college professor. In his official capacity as justice of the peace, his ruling was to get the opposing parties to arbitrate by meeting each other half way. In one case of contest of $40.00 he got his parties within $2.50 of reaching a settlement but no farther, at which point Mr. Beery proposed to pay it and discharge the case, which he did. So for conscience' sake, the next day the man to whom Mr. Beery paid the money returned it. Mr. Beery was very charitable to those in needy circumstances. He at the age of 18 united with the Methodist church. St. Louis, Gratiot Co., Mich. 1. Jesse L. Beery, b. Feb. 8, 1887. 2. James A. Beery, b. Nov. 28, 1891. 3. Zenith R. Beery, b. May 30, 1899, d.

Elisabeth Mericle, born (no date), and died April 17, 1858, married April 20, 1820, in Fairfield county, Ohio. Mr. Beery, at the age of six years (in 1805) came with his parents and family from Virginia to six miles east of Lancaster, Fairfield Co., Ohio, at which place he was reared to manhood. In 1826, in connection with farming, he operated a six-horse freight team from Lancaster to Baltimore, Md., and Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1834 he sold out and moved to Perry county. In 1836 he moved to Hocking county, near Logan, where he bought 500 acres of land and engaged in farming and stock raising, being in every way successful. In 1843 he was elected treasurer of Hocking county, and moved to Logan, which office he held four years, when he returned to his farm. In 1852 he divided among his sons and 130 returned to Logan. Four years later he retired from business, except banking. April 17, 1858, his wife died, having raised thirteen children. On July 24, 1858 he mar- ried Elisabeth McFadden (No. 1354), a widowed daughter of his uncle, Henry Beery (See No. 12). She died at Sugar Grove, Ohio, in 1888. Mr. Beery in old age was a heavy stockholder in banking circles. Little did he dream that his banking companions, in whom he had implicit confidence, would, when he was dead and gone, bankrupt and pauperize the. best blood in Hocking county, Ohio. He was buried at the Scotts Creek cemetery. Mr. Beery stood six feet and one inch in his bare feet, and at the age of 83 years he jumped over his walking stick while it was held fast in both hands. He was of a jovial disposition and had a kind word for every one, of whom Abraham Lincoln was a preference. He was a member of the Baptist church many years, when, on Feb. 25, 1866, he united with the Presbyterians. P. S. — Mr. Beery's photo is in the possession of Dr. A. Beery, Rushville, Ohio.

This bright, sunshiny, summerlike day of Nov. 15, 1909, is the anniversary of the author's birth. Today I am 74 years of age. I am thankful for this long life, accompani^jd by good health and mental faculties. My desire is, if it be the Lord's will, to live to complete this, my third, family history. I confess that I am a natural-born historian. In 1903 I completed the Wenger History, in 1905 the Abra- ham Beery History, and in January, 1909, I was urged into the work of the present history by the descendants of Nicholas Beery. I am of the lineage of the above Abraham Beery, who was a brother to Nicholas, who was born in Switzerland, 1707, and Abraham, born at the same place, 1718. These three histories reach back into foreign countries for 200 years, and over. The task is a tedious one, but I am never nearer in my element than when writing family history for the benefit of coming generations. Do you appreciate it? If so, it is all the compensation I ask. May unborn generations continue this history by begin- 132 ning where I left off, and may it continue to grow as long as the Beerys and their descendants exist. In justice, due to my manj- Nicholas Beery cousins, who desire to know in what way I am related to the Beerys, and whom I could not answer privately without going in- to detail, I will say: My mother was Barbara Beery (See Xo. 9, page 18, Abraham Beery History), a granddaughter of the above Abraham Beery, of 1718, who was a brother to Nicholas of this history. I was born on a farm at Edom, near Harrisonburg, Rockingham Co., Va., Nov. 15, 1835, and have lived here on a farm at South English, Keokuk Co., Iowa, for over forty-eight years. I retired from the farming business many years ago, since which time I have traveled extensively over the greater portion of the United States, besides Canada and Old Mexico. During the intervals my time was occupied in history work. A short sketch of my life is found in the Abraham Beery History. No. 42, page 36, or No. 812, this history. This last mentioned history has 328 pages, 1064 families, five or six thousand persons all related and 706 bearing the name of Beery. The reduced price is $1.10 per copy, post paid. The Wenger History, the same price; all on sale by the author. In conclusion I will note that I began the Nicholas Beery History January, 1909, having reached this limit Nov. 15, 1909, besides two months of travel during the time. — ^Joseph H. Wenger.

Esther Buchannon was the eleventh child of her father, James Buchannon, who was a first cousin to James Buchannon, President of the United States. Mr. Beery had passed his boyhood days on the old farm and at school at Bremen, Ohio. The remainder of his life was rather eventful. In 1841, at the age of 19, he, with 164 his brother, Levi L. Beery, moved to Mt. Pleasant, Henry Co., Iowa, where he learned the tanner and carpenter trades. Being of a roving nature he moved to many dif- ferent localities in Iowa, to Ohio and back to Iowa; in 1857 to Ray county, Missouri, where he founded the town of Pleasantview. At the dawn of the Civil War as it became rather hot politically he left his possessions and moved to Lancaster, Keokuk Co., Iowa (the author's county), July 4, 1863, and while he was hunting, his gun was accidently discharged, wounding his right leg, which had to be amputated below the knee joint; after which he went into the mercantile business at Washington, Iowa. His partner, Mr. Gillis, gathered up all the avail- able cash, under the pretence of going to Chicago for goods, and has never returned. In 1866 he moved back to Lancaster, Iowa. In 1867 he moved to Chapman, Merrick Co., Nebr., where he remained during his life. During his early western life among the Indians, many of them rather savage, he had many narrow escapes from Indian raids. His last years were passed in quietude.

Just one year ago today, by the urgent request of the Nicholas Beery descendants, I consented to become the author of this present important history. As before stat- ed, previous to this I have completed two family histories, the Wenger History and the Abraham Beery History; both for sale by the writer at $1.10 each copy, postpaid. Each history reaches back to Germany and Switzerland, respectively, about 200 years. My mother was Barbara (Berry) Wenger, a granddaughter of the above Abraham Beery, who was a brother to Nicholas, of 1707, of this history. Three stalwart brothers, Nicholas, Abraham and William, came to America at different dates. Nicholas and Abraham for a short time settled in Pennsylvania, and later in the Shenandoah Valley, near Harrisonburg, Rockingham Co., Va., where they lived and died. William, the third brother, settled in North Carolina. His de- scendants will be included in this history as Part Second. But my theme in writing this notice is this: Of all the many thousands of the Nicholas Beery descendants of this history I never met with any except Cousin A. W. Dupler for about five minutes in 1906; therefore, all the information of this history was secured by mail. Think of the many thousands of letters it required, besides turn- ing the crude information into line and order, and proper- ly linking them to the great chain of relationship, which is a very difificult task. I am greatly indebted to the great majority of the re- lationship for their efficient help. The few careless ones who failed to report must not be disappointed when they find their names left out of the history. I suppose "they would be too careless to read a history, provided it was donated to them. Indeed, I pity such people. It is worthy of note that I began this work today, a year ago. I have lost two months in traveling, and one month by having sickness in the family; hence, it would count nine months of history work, and as you see, I have 176 500 families recorded, including the old ancestors, who were the most difficult to secure. I hope that my life may be spared to complete the work for the benefit of the many relations. The author will be disappointed if there are no critics when this history is perused. Yes, Mr. Critic, I want to congratulate you in your search for mistakes, for you will possibly find some. If you are sure that you could have performed this difficult task without any mistakes, please let me know and I will vote you in as author for the next family history that may be wanted. Think of the conflicting statements that are sent in by different reporters; then consider that I am only a human being like some of you.

(See No. 42 in the Abraham Beery History, who was a brother to Nicholas of this history.) . Aa cne autnor of this Nicholas Beery History, and in due respect to the descendants, I would offer a few words of explanation. In my efforts to secure information for the Nicholas Beery History, I assured my correspondents that my mother was a Beery, and in justice to the many who asked as to what part of the Nicholas family I belonged. As perhaps before mentioned, I am a great grandson of Abra- ham Beery, who was born in Switzerland in 1718, and who was a brother to Nicholas, of this history. These brothers came to America at different dates, but settled in the same vicinity, in Adams county, Pennsylvania, and later near Edom, Rockingham Co., Va., where both died of old age. Abraham died in 1799, and of Nicholas' death there is no date known. My mother, Barbara Beery, daughter of John (son of Abraham), was born at New Market, Va., March 12, 1795. T was born at Edom, Rockingham Co., Va., Nov. 15, 1835, 256 where 1 remained until May 22, 1861, since which time 1 have lived at my present address. April 5, 1868, 1 married Elisabeth McAfferty, of Soutn English, Iowa, whose parents were typical Pennsylvania people, of Lancaster county. In 1896 we gave each of our children a farm adjoining the old home place, which allowed us to retire. Since then we have spent much time in traveling and writing family histories. On Oct. 23, 1881, we united with the Dunkard church. In 1903 I completed the family history of the Wengers, from Germany; in 1905 the Abraham Beery History, and on Jan. 1, 1909, I began the Nicholas Beery History, each history reaching back to 200 years and over. I may not live to complete this work, but hope that others will begin where I leave off and finally preserve it in book form. This work is extensive and is rather a mental drain upon me, as an old man of 75 years, yet no one except those who have had similar experience can fully sympathize with me in the perplexity of this work. But, dear reader, if you appreciate this history, it will amply recompense me for my efforts. I will farther say that in case I do not live to complete this history, I would suggest to my successors, that when the history is published and ready for the market, an in- .definite number of copies be placed into the hands of my sons, known as the Wenger Brothers, at South English, Iowa, who are reliable men, as can be testified to by the bankers, merchants and business men of South English. These brothers can keep them on sale, from the fact that the greater number of orders for books will be sent in my name, as to me the points of material of their families were sent, not knowing the facts in the case. The following are the points of our family: , Joseph H. Wenger, April 6, 1910. South English, Iowa. 1. John H. Wenger, b. near South English, Iowa Feb. 15, 1869, m. Cora Blaylock March 17, 1892.

The reader will bear in mind that the above parents and children are descendants of Abraham Beery (see his history), who was a brother to Nicholas, of this history, as has been previously explained.

Beery, born in Scrib- ner, Xebr., Nov. 11, 1885, died single of nervous prostra- tion, at Rushville, Ohio, Feb. 4, 1911, at the age of over 25 years. Had graduated from the following schools, col- leges and universities: Rushville, Ohio, Minneapolis, Minn., Lima, Ohio, and Lincoln, Nebr., and was fully prepared for the business world. He united with the Presbyterian church in 1905. and was an exceptional, devoted, Christiaa young man. He was never known to commit a single un- christian act, and was temperate in all things, as seen 367 by all who knew him. He was an exceptional young man and those who knew him best would do well to imitate his example. His parents, brothers and sisters are heart- broken at the loss of Jean Zee Beery, but such is life. The author deeply sympathizes with the family, as he experienced a similar ordeal in 1896, when his son, B. Frank Wenger, died at the age of 25 years, after having spent years in school. (See A.

WENGER SOUTH ENGLISH IOWA 1911 PREFACE. Three Beer}' brothers, all stalwart, robust men, at dif- ferent dates came from Switzerland to America. Nicholas, of the first part of this work, came 1727; Abraham in 1736 (see his History, on the market), and the date of arrival of the North Carolina brother is not known, but it is supposed that his name was Daniel Beery. It may be possible that the third brother, as above mentioned, was the father of the Daniel. The descendants ■of this North Carolina brother have thoroughly .investi- gated and find no one farther back than Daniel, from whom this part of their History begins. These descend- ants inform me that they had no idea of any other Beerys in existence. They will be surprised when the Nicholas Beery History is complete, and the Abraham Beery His- tory, which was completed in 1905, and on sale by the author (as undersigned). In my interviews with these North Carolina cousins I find them an intelligent and educated people. Joseph H. Wenger, South English, Iowa. 442 Part Second THE NORTH CAROLINA BEERYS. No. 1. First Generation. 1. Daniel Beery is the first by that name whom we can find. He was a millwright in Bladen county, N. C, in 1795. He married Mrs. Mary Locke (nee Root) in July, 1795. They had two children: 1. Samuel Reery, b. 1796. No. 2. 2. Rebecca Beery, b. . No. 3. Note. — It is the candid opinion of the author that Daniel Beery was a son of the Switzerland brother who settled in North Carolina. — J. H. W. No. 2. Second Generation. L 1) Samuel Beery, born in Brunswick county, N. C, in 1796. His first wife was Elisabeth Pittman. He was an unusually strong man, robust, weighing about 300 pounds, which is characteristic in the Beerys, especially among the old generations (see Abraham Beery History, Nos. 2 and 887). He owned a sawmill, and unfortunately his home burned down, including all his records and papers. He was of a generous nature, delighting in helping others who needed assistance. He died, as it was supposed, from too much blood letting (a customary practice in that day), in January, 1853, aged 57 years. Children born in Brunswick county, N. C. 443 1. Mary Beery, b. .

Mr. Beery was noted for his strength of body and mind, and was successful in his business, shipbuilding, and with his brother, William Beery, owned a shipyard across the Cape Fear River, opposite the city of Wilmington, N. C. Early in the Civil War he went on a privateering expedition, the vessel being fitted out at his own expense. This work was soon abandoned, as his services were needed by the Confederate Government in 444 shipbuilding. One of the vessels built was an ironclad ship named " The North Carolina," also a steamer called " Yadkin," and several launches, etc. His first marriage was to Miss Williams; his >cc()n(l marria;^e, in 1866, to Miss Susan Southall, but no children resulted from second marriage.

IT IS A BOOK OF 328 PAGES, WITH 1064 FAMILIES, AND FIVE OR SIX THOUSAND PERSONS, ALL RELATED TO THIS "THIRD PART" it is Bound in Black Leather and is on Sale by the Undersigned, Author, at the Reduced Price of $1.10 Per Copy, Postpaid, and Every Member of This Third Part Should Have a Copy JOSEPH H. WENGER SOUTH ENGLISH IOWA INTRODUCTION. It will be seen that these two brothers belong to the family of Abraham Beery (see his History, No. 1, page 12), where Jacob Beery is mentioned as the fourth child, but .his descendants could not be found until now. His brother, Christian Beery, and descendants were at that time not found at all. Christian is the seventh child of the above Abraham Beery family, and is a twin brother to his only sister, Magdalana Beery, who married Jacob Burner (see No. 6). Do not fail to compare this Third Part, to No. 1, page 12, in the Abraham Beery History of 1905, as the descend- ants of the above Jacob and Christian Beery are descend- ants of the Abraham Beery genealogy, and in order to have their relationship combined they should send for the Abraham Beerj^ History, which is on sale by the author at the reduced price of $1.10 per copy postpaid. — J.
