WHITEBREAD, (377). 10 3. '^ THE FIRST WHITEBREAD IN AMERICA. * * * ?ENRY WEISBROD, was the son of Ulricli Weisbrod, and W^M his wife, Agnes, whose maiden name was Hibner. He fwas born on the twelfth day of November, "A. D., 1762, in the town of Frankenberg, in the Upper District or Province of Marburg, Hesse-Cassel. At that time a Princi- pality, but now a Province of the German Empire. His parents were members of the Evangelical German Reformed Church, and as was their custom Henry was baptized when he was about two weeks old. John Henry Hardung and his wife becoming sponsors. In his fifteenth year he was catechised, confirmed and admitted to full membership in the church, and continued in that relation to the time of his death. His early life was neither one of opulence or luxury. His father being the owner of a small farm, and in moderate cir- cumstances, he was at an early age taught to work and share in the responsibility of the home life, and care of the family. Thus early in life he learned the important lessons of industry, fru- gality and economy, and withal the value of money — essential points in the make-up of the typical German, The laws of his native land required every able bodied male to become a soldier, and in that capacity serve the state for a certain number of years. These soldiers were often hired out by the Prince, to fight in the service of foreign princes. A practice by which the finances of the state were considerably augmented, at the expense of the welfare and morality of the people. P'riedrick H persevered in this course, and kept up a splendid court on the proceeds of the pay amounting to three million pounds sterling, which the British Government gave 3 liiiii for the services of the 22,000 Hessians who fought against the Americans in the war of independence. In order to escape such military service, he decided to come to America. He took vovage in an old fashioned sailing vessel, and after a tedious voyage of thirteen weeks, landed at Phila- delphia on the sixth day of August, A. D., 1784, a stranger in a strange land. Having no education, save in his mother tongue, he found it difficult in his search for work, to make his desires known ; but by persevering effort, finally was rewarded, and hired to a small "truck farmer," in the suburbs of Phila- delphia, with whom he remained for several years ; by which time, applying the early lessons learned in his old home across the sea, he had accumulated a small sum of money, which he decided to invest in a small farm of his own. He purchased of a Philadelphia lawyer, a small farm, and engaged in truck farm- ing on his own account. On the 8tli day of April, 1790, he was married to Mary Danenheimer, and started not only as the head of the family, but of his business also. During this marriage, eight children, five sons and three daughters, were born to them. Four sons, viz : John, Daniel, Bernard and Henry, and one daughter, Mary, were still living, when in October, 1805, his wife died. He remained a widower until January, 1807. It was during this time, while he was a widower, that a very interesting circum- stance occurred. I will relate it as I remember often hearino- my father relate it. When he purchased the little farm from the lawyer referred to above, with whom he had become quite well acquainted, and who seems to have been a typical Yankee, and believed, it seems, in Americanizing every thing possible, not excepting even proper names, and who had become accus- tomed to call grandfather Whitebread instead of Weisbrod, and in drawing up the deed for the farm, had written the name Whitebread in the deed. This, however, was not noticed at the time, and the deed was so recorded. Now, however, in his loneliness, with his children growing up, he realized that his farm was too small, and learning that land was much cheaper up the Susquehanna River, he concluded to sell his little farm in order to buy a larger one with the proceeds of the sale. He 4 found no difficulty in finding a purchaser, and made a deed, signing it, as was his custom, by his old name. When, however, his purchaser filed his deed for record, the change of name was discovered. Upon this discovery being made, grandfather at once went to the lawyer to have the error corrected, but was told that it was now too late, the deed having been several years on record ; and he was advised to make a new deed and sign it Whitebread, which was simply the English rendering of it, and henceforth to write it in that way. Believing this to be the easiest way out of the difficulty, the lawyer's advice was adopted and from this tiuie on the family name, although a German one, has been written in the Englisli form. He married as his second wife, Catherine Lesher, January 13th, 1807, and during the same year purchased a tract of land about ninety miles up the Susquehanna River, in what was then Nescopsck, but has for many years been Hollenback Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, near what is now Hobbie post-office. He at once began improvements by build- ing a house, cleaning ground and moving his family. In one of the many hi.stories of Luzerne County, it is stated that he came from Holmesburg, on the Pennypack Creek, about eight miles below Philadelphia. That he set out an orchard on his new farm in 1808, and brought the trees from his old home. With no market nearer than Easton, eighty miles, except a trading post, about twenty miles up the Susquehanna River, conducted by two gentlemen by the names of Wilkes and Barre, where the beatiful and prosperous city of Wilkes-Barre is now located. It became apparent that nearly every thing needed on the farm, must be raised or produced on the farm. Wheat being about the only salable product, was carted to Easton, and ex- changed, at the price of three shillings (thirty-seven and one- half cents) per bushel, for salt, sugar and such other things necessary for the family and farm, but which could not be pro- duced at home. Flax was considered a very important and necessary crop. The pulling, retting, breaking, swinging and hetchelling, being all done by hand. The finest and longest fibers being selected and kept seperate for thread. Not every woman could spin thread, though all weie taught to spin, but 5 to spin a fine and even thread was considered an accomplish- inent. The rest of the flax was spun into yarn, woven into cloth, whieh after being bleached on the grass in the sun was made into sheets, pillow-cases, table cloths, shirts, valances and whatever else was needed in that line. The tow or coarser part being spun into coarser yarn and woven into cloth, which with- out bleaching, was used for bed-ticks, bolsters, towels and pants for suinnier wear. This yarn was also used for ropes for clothes- lines, bed-cords and even plow-lines. The sheep, of which every thrifty farmer had a flock pro- duced the wool for the clothes for winter wear, for both the men and women. A flock of geese, also, was indispensable on every well regulated farm, and required to be picked every so often, to keep up the necessary supply of feather-beds, pillows etc. Feather-beds then were regarded as a necessity rather than a luxury. Thus it will be seen, that, with the flax to supply he cloth for summer wear, the sheep for the winter supplv, and the geese for the bedding as well as food, most of their needs were supplied, and with the small wheat crop, the others could be supplied by exchange. The writer can recall the time, when but a little boy, when everything he wore, both summer and winter, was produced on the farm, except the buttons. Here, in their new home, eight children were born One daughter died in childhood, tiie others all grew to man and womanhood, and all but one, Philip, married and raised families Grandfather lived on this same farm until the time of his death' on the 28th day of October, 1828. He was nearlv sixty-six years of age and was buried in the German Reformed Cemeterv within sight of his old home. He was always faithful to the church of his earlv choice and a very strict observer of the Sabbath, a good citizen and ai peace with his neighbors. Industrious and economical, and careful and judicious in his investments. Though h; was raised and always worked on a farm, he was very handv with tools, and could make almost anything needed. He made all heir furniture, which, beyond question, was not as elaborate or luxurious as is now required, but supplied their needs The shoes for the family were also made and repaired by him, and he did his own carpenter work. Of his children, six, viz : John, Daniel, Bernard, Frederick, Samuel and William, married and settled in the same neighbor- hood, nej^r the old home. John, the oldest, living on the home- stead. Of these, John at the age of seventy-six years, Daniel at the age of sixty-six, Bernard at the age of eighty, Frederick at the age of eighty-four, and Samuel at the age of seventv years, died and were buried in the same cemetery with their father. William, in 1871, moved to Kansas, and settled near Ottawa, in Franklin County, where at the age of eighty-two years he died and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. Mary married Adam Breidinger, and settled in Newport Township, Luzerne County, near Wilkes-Barre, where at the age of fifty-eight she died and was buried. Henry also settled in the vicinity of Wilkes-Barre, where he married, but later moved to WHiite-Haven, in the same county ; where at the age of seventy-eight years he died and was buried. Caroline married James Norton, and settled in W^ilkes- Barre, where at the age of sixty-seven years, she died and was buried in the same city. Catharine married Jacob Kerschner, and settled near Tamaqua, in Schuylkill County, but later moved to Plymouth, in Luzerne County, where at the age of sixty-five years, she died. Jacob first settled at Lowrytown, in Carbon County, be- tween White-Haven and Weatherly. In 1855 he came with his family to Dixon, Lee County, Illinois. In 1869, he went to Glasco, Cloud County, Kansas, and finally settled in Corning, Iowa, where at the age of eighty-five years he died and was buried. While neither Grandfather nor any of his children became rich nor famous, neither did any rise to eminence or distinc- 7 tion, two things have been deeply impressed upon my mind, while conversing with old people who knew Grandfather and his children. That they were always regarded as trnthful in their conversation, and honest in their dealings. Traits which ■we, their descendents, may do well to copy. & :\Iv Dear Cousixs : — HE work of gatherings records and information for the Whitebread Genealogy, is at last completed. To me it pi^ has been a veritable "Labor of Love." Though only a> actively engaged in the work during the last two years, the idea was concieved over twenty years ago. Two things I can remember as perfect delights of my childhood. One, to sit and listen to my mother reading Gennan poetry ; the other, to listen to the descriptions by my father of his childhood and early life. Very vividly can I remember some of the things and circumstances he described to me before I was ten years old. I loved, above all, to hear him tell about grandfather's voyage across the sea, as he had heard his father describe it, though I could then form no idea of what the sea or a ship was like. In the short and imperfect sketch of grandfather's life you will fmd luucli, that I had treasured in my memory, of my father's conversations in my childhood. The thirteen weeks voyage, in a sailing vessel, sometimes lying for days in a perfect calm, depending upon the wind entirely for propelling power, made a deep and lasting impression upon my mind. At the present time the same voyage is made b}- an ocean steamer in five or six days. I hope in the possession and perusal of this work you may realize a tithe of the pleasure that its preparation has afforded me. As the work progressed, it became fascinating. The families having become so scattered, that some had been lost sight of. Brothers and sisters had not heard of or seen each other for years, knew nothing of each other's whereabouts, or even whether thev were livino- or dead ; and sometimes after following a clew, it would abruptly be lost and a new one of necessity would have to be found. Some were careless about answering inquiries, some were indifferent and gave the infor- 9 mation carelessly, and therefore imperfectly, and some positively refused to reply to my inquiries ; and the information had to be obtained in some other and less direct way ; and in a few cases is yet imperfect, as you will observe. While others, and I am triad to say the great majority were enthusiastic, very kind and helpful, and greatly encouraged me. The work is now yours, for your pleasure or your criticism, but I hope it will be a source of pleasure, pride and gratification to you. To those who are inclined to criticise, let me say — 'sit down quietly with some sensible peiS3n, yourself, for instance, if no other is near, and in a candid way talk the matter over. Con- sider the magnitndt of the undertaking, the difficulties that had to be overcome, and the obstacles that had to be sur- mounted before final victory was achieved, and then decide how much better the work would be had you done it yourself. That it contains errors is possible, that it is in some instances incom- plete, I am aware. More than twenty years ago, when nn- health first began to fail, I conceived the desire to put some of the recollections of my childhood in a more tangible form. It was then I conceived the idea of some kind of faniil)' record or history, but could not decide upon anything definite. I wrote to Germany for information in regard to Grandfather's family, farther back into the past, than the record in his old Bible contained, and offered to send the neces.sary fee for a thorough search as far back as possible. I was told in reply, that during a war between Ger- many and France, abont 1806, the town in which Grandfather had lived, had been burned by the enemy, and all civil and church records had perished. It was only about two years ago that I decided with what data I had on hand, to go on with the work, gather the rest, and publish the book in its present form. How well I have succeeded, I leave for you to judge. If any errors or omissions occur in your record, will you not kindly notify me at once, that I may correct them for possible future use. Many sent me double names, and may be disappointed at 10 seeing only. one. I was obliged to use but one, or very largely increase the size of the book, and necessarily add to the cost. Unless otherwise instructed I used the first name. In order to get as much as possible into a small space, the history is ofiven in a tabulated rather than a narrative form, and will be easily understood after a little study. By referring to the genealogy the number of any particular one may be ob- tained, after which it will readily be found in the history. Where any of this information is lacking, I would be very grateful to any one who will supply it. It was not omitted through any lack of effort upon my part to obtain it. When any one's name is not WHiitebread, it may readily be obtained by tracing the marriages back to tlie first White- bread. Where a name appears in brackets, it is the name of the husband of the one under whose name it appears, thus — Walter (774) was the son of William, who was the son of Sarah White- bread, who married Peter J. Best, therefore he is Walter Best. I cannot close without saving a word upon the subject of National descent. In studying American history, we get the impression that the Hessians were a servile, non-resisting, yield- ing people, who would blindly obey any law or command with- out question ; and we look upon them with disdain for the part they had in our war for independence ; and I confess it has sometimes been a source of mortification, that I was a decendent of the Hessians, whom I regarded as incapable of appreciating liberty or independence. I am glad to say that after carefully studying their history, habits and customs, and the motives which actuated them, my feelings towards them have undergone a great change. When we consider the fact that their soldiers were hired out by their King to fight in the service of foreign rulers, we must admit that they were loyal to their soverign, and obedient to his law and command. They knew nothing about liberty or independence^ and whatever the citizen might do, the soldier\s- first duty was to obey orders^ and the hasty conclusion that they were a non-resisting, }-ielding people, led me to investigate their II loyalty and patriotism during- our late Civil War. I find by these records, that between tlie years 1861 and 1865, there were twenty-five males of Grandfather's descendents, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years. Some were not eighteen when the war commenced, but became so during the war, and the same is true of the fortv-five vear limit — but I counted both, and presuming they were all able bodied and subject to the draft. By these same records I find there were thirteen of Grandfather's de.scendents in the army. This gives us a per cent, of fifty-two of those liable for military duty. Can any of the families of our Revolutionary heroes show a better record ? Yes, my feelings towards the Hessians have undergone a great change, and I can now sa)' the thought of being a descendent of a Hessian, is one of mingled pride and admiration ; not for the part they had in the war for independence, but for what they really are now, loyal, patriotic and liberty loving citizens. How about the future ? I .sincerely trust that this w^ork may prove an inspiration to all to keep the future family record unbroken, and the family name unblemished. Let me urge you to keep up correspondence with one another. I regard the "Family Letter Circle" a good plan. Let .some one write a letter to some other person, with a request to write a letter, and forward it and yours to .some third person, with the same re- quest to a fourth, and so on until eight, ten or a dozen, as many as you desire, have been reached ; when the las! one will write to the first one, wlio, upon receipt of his own letter, will take it out of the liundlc, read all the others, write a ueiej letter and enclose it with the others, start them again on the round — each one taking out their old letter and enclosing a new one in its stead. In this way you hear from the whole circle, and write only one letter. X'^ery thin paper should be used, or the bundle will become too heavy. Finally, I wish to personally thank each and all who have so faithfully assisted me in my labors, and by their aid have lent encouragement, and brought cheer to my sometimes almost despairing endeavors. And now with manv words of eood cheer, and conoratula- 12 tions for past associations and achievements ; with an abiding faith in the splendid outcome, the onward and upward progress of everv member of the great and growing family, with grateful acknowledgments to the Supreme Hand who has so mercifully guided and bountifully blessed us. With a fervent hope that each and all may renew^ their efforts to strengthen their weak places, and be ever ready to launch out into new fields of use- fulness, and endeavor so that when the shades of life's setting sun fall thick about us, and the ceaseless flood of years has brought us to the end of this life, may it be said of us all, "they were earnest, active, faithful and true.
