Notes

"Andrew Sadowski and his family moved to Augusta County, Virginia, in the middle of 1752. This is the proof I have found in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In the records of William Bird's iron forges, to which Andrew Sadowski hauled mostly firewood over the years with his team of horses, the last entry I found for him was April 18, 1752, when he plowed Garrett Dewees' garden for planting fresh crops. He did it before, as recorded in 1749, but I have not seen a yearly record of it. When Andrew Sadowski left for Virginia, David Glass followed in his tracks, at least in 1758 and 1759, and hauled 300 cords of firewood to the Pine Forge, which William Bird operated on Hay Creek, near Birdsboro, Pennsylvania.

One more incident I found in one of the old ledgers was the use of pow wowing, which was a form of folk medicine that Pennsylvania Germans practiced. In most cases, old women did it. For example, if a baby had an upset stomach and her mother took her to a powwower, the powwower would take the crying baby behind a closed door, mumble a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch words while doing a hands-on rubbing in gestures known to her, and eventually when the two came out, the baby was no longer crying and didn't have a colic, gas, or whatever, in her stomach after that.

One day Andrew Sadowski fell back on this art of healing. On May 6, 1751, he paid Granny DeHart, who apparently lived in the vicinity, for curing his servant's hand. The Negro was called Guinea. By passing on this spectrum of healing from mother to daughter, powwowing is still practiced in Pennsylvania and De Hart families still live in the area where Granny De Hart did in 1751.

Whatever may turn up in the future, April 18, 1752, was the last day that I found Andrew Sadowski in Amity Township, now part of Berks County, but in the first half of the 18th century in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. For most of that time the patriarch of the family, his children and the children's children were better known as Sadowski than any other variant.

After moving to Virginia, the name was written Seduskie, Sowdowsky, Sandusky, and other variants. No sooner had the family reached Augusta County, Virginia, than Andrew Sadowski rode to a ornate courthouse in Staunton, in the Shenandoah Valley, and filed suit against Cornelius Ruddle for a debt of nine pounds. The date was November 21, 1752, and his name was spelled Soduski in the court records. In other words, the Sadowski family changed residences between April 18, 1752, and November 21, 1752, but it didn't change the birthplaces of most of the children. Again, please remember that Emanuel, John, Samuel, Anthony, and James Sadowski were born in Pennsylvania."
