Dear Patty (or however you want to be called). Since James (son of Aunt
Carrie) was my first cousin, you are I guess my first cousin twice removed!
But anyway I am glad to find you are a Vandegrift buff. About 10 years ago
I compiled quite a bit on New Amsterdam, starting from Aunt Maz' Vandegrift
of about 1960. I sent it to somebody who was going to update it, but so far
nothing has happened. I think Jean Glatz may now be involved (Aunt Jess's
younger daughter. My sister Mary is my principal contact with the rest of
the family, but she is not computerized, but her son Bruce lives nearby in
Sarasota. (Bruce and Carol Benson.) I think Mary told me that Marcella is
still alive, on the East Coast of Florida, but not well enough to travel to
Sarasota. James Kennedy (my cousin) died a long time ago. But one of my
strong memories of him was visiting Aunt Carrie in Olney or Germantown and
hearing James play vigorous ragtime on the piano. I knew Ruth and Marcella
better. Virginia had moved to Long Island. I also remember Uncle Jim.
Can I send you some of my New Amsterdam material in MS Word? I think it is
in Word 2000, but I can also send it in Word 6. (I might have to get help
from my sons for anything else) (They will probably stop by here later
today.) Anyway I will now try to attach something on Paulus Leedertsen van
der Grift. Let me know if you can read it. Nelson Howard
7. Gedcom from Ruth Reed's sister
8. This is from the 1900 census and the photograph of Carrie and others labled "Girls from Stetsons." Her sister Jessie worked there as well.
9. There are two photos of the Episcopal Church that Carrie attended.
10. "1900 Census," Philadelphia, PA.
11. Conversation with Bonnie Louise Kroesser Eyde on December 22, 2000
Bonnie lives in the home that her parents used to live in. (50 Asbury Rd. Ocean City, New Jersey 08226) She has a old newspaper article titled "Winds of Times" that was in the Courier Times 1971. It talks about a cemetery that is on Bristol Pike in Cornwell Heights that has many Vandegrift stones. The original Vandegrift came in 1679. She will be sending article. Bonnie also has a book, "The Legend of New Amsterdam" that mentions Vandegrifts. She is a teacher and brought some of this into her third grade class. She has information around the house that has a long family tree for Vandegrifts and also some family information on Kennedy. (If I caught that right.) Bonnie mentioned that her dad died when she was about 7 (or 9) and her mom died about 5 years ago. Aunt Marcella Fry was recently moved to an assisted care home in Florida, a couple of months ago. Bonnie has a lot of photos and will go visit the place that the Vandegrifts used to rent in the summer in Ocean City, New Jersey.
12. This is from a labled photograph.
13. "from William Francis Vandegrift in St. Petersburg, FL to his daughter Carrie Vandegrift Kennedy in Phila, PA," December 13, 1935.
Dear Daughter,
Everything O.K. on 845 8th AVe, Today was the 549th consecutive day that the sen shone some time in St. P. Some record. After shining before 8 A.M. yesteday it clouded up and rained hard most all the rest of the day. It is remarkable to me that everything does not dry up and die, but trees, grass and vines are beautiful and green.
Christmos is just a much observed as up north and stores look very attractive. Children had a great thrill last Monday a week at the Airport, when Santa Claus came in an airplane to see which each one wanted. Between caring for the house, washing and ironing, taking her turn at the store and getting ready for Christmas, you can just imagine how busy Louise is.
Francis has very good work on the Independent and expects to continue all winter. Having gone to housekeeping again, Dorothy probably will get things every young wife desires.
In your letter to 845 you seem to be pretty busy yourself with the grandchildren on Third Street. Well, a couple of little ones can keep you stepping all right. I had to smile when I read a letter from Mary Jakob today when she mentioned Isabelle and "Fritz" as among the guests to Aunt Ida's luncheon. Fritz is a new name to me in the Vandegrift clan.
This year I am not sending any Christmas remembrances to anyone. A stack [?] has to be made sometmie as the list has reached extraordinary proportions. John D. should be the head of it. That would make him loosen up and do him good. I do not want anything myself, having everything I need, so pass the word along, please - I hardly realize that I am as close to 72 years of age. By all rules of the game I should be in Northwood by now.
Hope you all have a nice Christmas. Remember me to Jim and the rest.
Love from,
Dad

Pat:
My name is Bob D'Imperio. My mother and Catherine Wigfall were 1st cousins.
My mother will be celebrating her 87th birthday anniversary on August 31st. We
probably have many more details than I can include here in this E-mail. Please
don't hesitate to contact me with additional questions you may have. I'll
attempt to put together any more info we can come up with -- for instance the
exact address of Cedar Hill Cemetary.
My mother's maiden name was Helen Phillips. She also grew up in Bridesburg.
Catherine's mother was Augusta (nee Weniger) Wigfall. Augusta's first child Anna
died as a baby. Catherine had a brother Frank and a sister Marie. Marie married
Joe Gimbel. Catherine resided at 2820 Overington St.
You are correct about the approximate birthdate of Catherine. She died
8/15/1936.
Her ancestors were:
Augusta Weniger (b abt 1874 in Gerichstetten Germany - d. Sept 27, 1948 in
Phila); Richard Wigfall was her father.
Augusta's parents were Lorenz Weniger, Sr. (b 2/19/1842 in Germany d
2/13,1914 in Bridesburg) and Marie Barbara Heffner (b. 3/23/1848 in Germany d.
2/21/1917 in Bridesburg).
Lorenz's parents were Antone Weniger (b in Germany) and Madeline Ferr (b. in
Germany).
There currently are only four 1st cousins remaining including my mother, two
daughters of Augusta's sister Katherine still reside in bridesburg. Marie
(Weniger) Shanahan also is still living. She was the daughter of Augusta's
Brother Killian and his wife Anna.
I hope this helps. Best Regards from Villas, NJ

26. Interview 4/13/2001 with Kathy Schwegel Catarious
Otto Michael Schwegel and Edna Hess Schwegel lived at 1321 Dixon Avenue, Croydon (Bucks County), PA. Otto died at home at that address. Edna had an experimental treatment for breast cancer which caused a stroke and brain damage. Because she had to go on a feeding tube, Sarah and Otto Francis Schwegel couldn't take care of her and she was put in a nursing home. They transferred her to Blessed John Newman Nursing Home, where she died.
Otto Francis Schwegel b. Sept 18, 1929 died at 205 Ventura Lane Douglasville, PA at the home of his daughter. The cause of death was heart failure due to his cancer. Otto atributed his cancer to the thick cigarette smoke at the bar. It was so thick that when he went upstairs to bed as a child, he would put his covers over his head to breathe better. He was cremated and his ashes will be placed in his wife's casket when she dies and they will be buried at Resurection Cemetery in Bensalem, PA. (same plot as his parents Otto and Edna Schwegel.
Otto's wife Sarah Lane Schwegel b. 1931.
Otto Francis and Sarah Lane Schwegel had three children. All had the middle name of Ann so they could be baptised in the Catholic Church, since they weren't named after Saints. Theresa Ann Schwegel was born with a septal heart defect and lived three weeks and two days. She was born January 12, 1964.
Otto Michael Schwegel and Edna Hess Schwegel are buried at Resurrection Cemetery in Bensalem, PA. They had three children: Otto Francis Schwegel born 18 Sept 1929; Pearl Schwegel and Edna Schwegel who was two when she died. Edna had taken a boiled egg from behind the bar. Her father was chasing her away when she ran to her mother, who unfortunately was holding a big pot of scalding water.
Thomas Adams, Jr. (son of Mary Magdeline Schwegel and Thomas Adams, Sr.) lived in Croyden, (Bucks County) PA, a block away from Otto Francis Schwegel. Tom, Jr. later moved to Bensalem, PA. About mid-2000, stopped by to tell Sarah Long Schwegel that Mamie had died . Tom and Mary's daughter was named Mary and called Mamie. She was married twice.
The reason Otto Michael Schwegel and Otto Francis Schwegel had different middle names (even though they were father and son) was because the tradition was that the middle name was after their godfather.
Sarah and Otto lived at the bar on 8th Street when they were first married. Then they moved to Cadwallader Street for about 9 years.
Adam painted churches in Philadelphia, PA. Adam fell from a ladder because of the disorientation due to lead poisoning. So, we figured out that the condition Adam had been suffering from for about 10 months must have been the lead poisoning and the condition that he suffered from for 1 day must have been "cerebral ___?" caused by the fall from the ladder.

This headstone was probably purchased by Anna (Kloh) Schwegel after Michael died. She had Adam's name put on it also. Adam had a "soapstone" marker but it is hard to read and still on the grave. John Kloh, listed on Schwegel stone is Anna's brother. He fell at work and drowned while unloading ice on a Delaware River Pier at night.

Oh course there will be less motivation to type. but my word is good if I
said I'll type I will.
Well here we go again, marrying brother and sister. and on the same day.
Yes there was another welsch son. and we have his nat. paper too.
Albert Wessolowski of Vineland age 28 parents Frank and Julia marrys
Barbara Welch age 24 parents Henry and Kate on May 7, 1898. married by Guise
no record number since I havent typed it yet. millville vital records. as

So there is a good possibility that the wedding photo in question is Jacob
Welch (welsch) and Anna Wessolowski. can you post that online? THANKS
I think Guise, is the same priest that married adam and magd.
Will have to do more research on Jacob Welsch, we may have Welsch relatives

cerebral hemorhage.
A large crew of workmen are tearing down the Gradn Theatre and Gross was
one of the crew. The whistle bew, indicating time out for a bite to eat.
Gross sat down with his companions and had just started to eat, when one of
the men noticed he jumped up suddenly and his eyes became glassy. He then
slumped down in the old chair, upon which he was sitting and died instantly.

I received your letter regarding Sis. I am sorry to tell you that Siss died on May 8 of this year. she had Hodgkins Disease and it had been in remission but it reappeared last year around Chrustmas and her condition deteriorated steadily until her death. As you know, she was a very private person and did not let anyone know how sick she was. I was sorry to hear of your Dad's stroke. I hope that he is doing good. Hope you and your family are. Sincerely, Jim

Some correspondence seems to indicate that she had remained home to care for a brother and later for her mother. I do not have any further details of this."
"Sister Mary Camillus died here at the Motherhouse very suddenly on July 4, 1987. Everyone was shocked by her death as it was so sudden. However, those of us who knew and loved her thought it very symbolic that she should die on "Independence Day." She was a very independent person as well as a kind and helpful one."

September 1964
Jacob Lundertsen Van Der Grift and his brother Paulus, came from Amsterdam,
Holland, about 1644 and settled in New Amsterdam. Both were in the employ of
the West India Company.
Paulus was skipper of the ship "Neptune" in 1645 and of the "Great Gerritt"
in 1646. A large land owner in New Amsterdam, he was a member of the Council
in 1647-1648, and Burgomaster (Mayor) in 1657-1658 and 1661-1664; Orphan
Master in 1656-1660 and member of Convention, 1653-1663.
He was spoken of as "Patroon" or sponsor of the new settlement of Woodwych
on the North River, helping others from Holland to come to New Amsterdam. He
had five children baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church and he and his wife
were witnesses to the baptism of five of the eight children of his brother,
Jacob.
Paulus sold his property in 1671 and returned with his family to Holland.
Jacob -- in the services of the West India Company -- on September 11, 1648,
granted power of attorney to a Martin Martense Schoenmaker, of Amsterdam,
Holland, to collect from the West Indies Company such amounts of money as he
(Jacob) had earned at Curacoa on the ship "Swol," employed by that company
to sail between the Island of Curacoa and "New Netherlands." The early
records of New Amsterdam give a considerable account of this ship "Swol." It
carried 22 guns and 76 men, and was directed to be sold.
Another ship, however, was given the same name, being sometimes mentioned as
the "New Swol." On July 19, 1648, Jacob Van Der Grift married Rebecca
Fredericks, daughter of Frederick Lubbertsa.
In 1657, Jacob was commissioned as "Grain Measurer." From that date no one
was allowed to measure for himself or for anyone else, any grain, lime, or
other goods which are sold by the "tun" or "Schepel" or came here from
elsewhere as cargoes and in wholesale -- subject to a fine of 3Ls for the
first transgressions; 6Ls for the second; jail for the third. In 1656 he was
made small Burger of New Amsterdam. In 1662 he was resident of Bergen, N.J.,
where he subscribed to the salary of the Minister.
On April 9, 1664, he and his wife were accepted as members of the Church at
Breukelen, upon letters from Middlewout (New Flatlands), his residence on
the west side of the river must therefore have been of short duration.
On May 29, 1664, then living under the jurisdiction of the village of
Breukelen, Long Island, he applied to the council for letters of cession
with committinus to the court, to relieve him from his creditors on his
turning over his property in their behalf, he being "Burdened" with a large
family and on account of misfortune befallen some years before, not having
been able to forge ahead, notwithstanding all efforts and means tried by him
to that end, etc.
There are records of a number of suits prior to this date in which he
appears as either plaintiff or defendant.
In 1665 he was living on the strand of the North River, New Amsterdam, where
he was assessed toward paying expenses of quartering 100 English soldiers on
the Dutch Burgers.
On October 3, 1667, he received a patent (title) from Governor Nicolls for
land on the Island of Manhattan, on the north side of the Great Creek, which
he sold to Isaac Bedloe in 1668. He then moved to Woodwych on the North
River, where he purchased in 1671 the land of his brother, Paulus, who had
returned to Holland. In 1686 he appears as an inhabitant of Newtown, L.I.,
where he probably died, although the date of his death has not been

Leonard and his three brothers and his two brothers-in-law purchased land in
Bensalem, Pa., in 1697 of Joseph Growden. Leonard and Nicolas' purchase was
two tracts of 135 and 106 acres, then, later, another 74 acres. He and his
wife were received at Bensalem Church in 1710. Leonard was commissioned a
Justice of the Peace. Letters of administration on his estate were granted
to his eldest son, Abraham, February 18, 1725. The son, Abraham, was known
as "Abraham Vandegrift by the river." All the other children of Leonard
moved to New Castle, Del., prior to the father's death; the property being
conveyed to Abraham in 1743.
Nicolas and his wife, Barentje Verkirk, settled in New Utrecht, where he
took the oath of allegiance to King James the Second of England in 1687, and
where he purchased land in 1691.
Nicolas moved with his brothers to Bucks County, Pa., in 1697. On July 1,
1697, he bought land from Joseph Growden, 200 acres all in Bensalem. Later,
he purchased 200 acres on the Poquessin Creek in Philadelphia County from
Giles Knight. This creek is the boundary line between the counties of
Philadelphia and Bucks. He bought 100 acres in the last-mentioned locality,
from John Gilbert.
Nicolas and Barentje had the following children:
(1) Rebecca Vandegrift, baptized in New York, July 26, 1695 -- sponsors,
Jacob Lundertsen Vandegrift and Rebecca (his wife).
She married Jacobus Vanzant, November 7, 1707.
(2) Jacob Vandegrift, baptized 1687; married Joyce Touley, October 23,
1716.
(3) Jan Vandegrift, baptized in New York, 1691; sponsors, Barent Verkirk
and Haykin Gysberts. Married Anna Backer, May 5,
1721, at the Abington Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia County.
(4) Debora Vandegrift, baptized in New York, April 21, 1695; sponsors,
Roelof Verkirk and Catharine Simons. Married Lawrence
Johnson.
(5) Nicolas Vandegrift, of Cecil County, Md., died prior to September
1746, leaving a wife, Susanna, and children, viz: Mary,
Jacob, Perregrine, Eleanor, Esther, Ann, and Nicolas.
Nicolas Vandegrift settled in Cecil County, Md., prior to November 1719,
when he leased from Ephraim Augustine Herman a plantation in the Bohemia
Manor in the said county. The yearly rent of this plantation was 2 pounds
silver money and "two dunghill fowles." He died in Cecil County before 1722,
when letters of administration on his estate were granted to John Copping.
Johannes, brother of Nicolas, married the widow of Cornelius Cortelyou in
1694. She died before 1740 and he remarried another widow, Elizabeth Snowden
in 1741. He purchased 196 acres in Bensalem from Joseph Growden. It adjoined
the land of his brothers and brothers-in-law, the deed bearing the date,
July 1, 1697.
He was an Elder of the "Neshaminy Church," having joined it at its
organization in 1710. His will, dated March 16, 1732, left the property to
his son, Abraham, the farm for his life, and if he died without issue, to go
to his surviving brothers and sisters.
Some years later the brothers and sisters entered into an agreement by which
the land was to rest in the heirs of those deceased, even though they did
not survive Abraham, and inasmuch as Abraham died without issue in 1781, the
subsequent conveyances of the land threw light on the family connections.
In 1786 the representatives of Jacob, Rebecca, Christine, and Selena
conveyed the land, 150 acres, to Jacob Jackson, Abraham, Harman and
Cornelius, sons of Folkhart Vandegrift.
Most of the Vandegrifts of Bucks County are descendants of Johannes and
Nealkie Vandegrift.
John, Nicolas' son, born 1691, married Anna Backer. His son John (Jan)
married Ann Walton, May 28, 1761. Their children were Joshua, Joseph, John,
Jonathon, and Mary.
John died in 1777 and Ann Walton Vandegrift married Charles Fetters.
John, the son, in turn was married although no record can be had. His
children were: Rachel, William, Cordelia, Amanda (Jemina), and Louise.
William Vandegrift married Mary Ann Lovett, February 17, 1839, Bensalem,
Bucks County. Billy T., as he was known, was born January 16, 1818, died
January 23, 1908. Mary Ann Lovett was born November 9, 1817, died October
23, 1890. Their children were:

102. Mary Howard Benson's Account Jan 2001: " Re Dad (Harold Howard) coming to America, he was probably 21. He stayed with his brother George. He worked at tghe BelleView Stratton Hotel as a clerk (I have some love letters he wrote on the hotel's stationary in 1909 while courting mom! She worked also for Stetson Hats as did her sisters. (After returning from England after the war, around 1919) dad worked for the Cunard Steamship Line. (We visited England via Cunard in 1925.)
The five years we lived in Ardsley (Abington Twp) near Glenside I was 10- 15. Dad had an ice cream store there in North Hills where we attended Mt Carmel Presbyterian Church. He was in partnership with a man who took off with the money. AS a result they lost the house and business and we moved to Collingswood,NJ, not far from Aunt Mary and Uncle Frank. Fran left school at 16 to become apprenticed with Uncle Howard in newspaper printing. (Uncle Howard, Uncle Marty, and Grandfather all worked in printing; even mom (Louise) worked for a while as a proofreader at Curtis Publications). About that time Dad got work in Miami.
In 1930 Dad's two sisters Annie and Jeannie came to visit us in Collingswood. Aunt Irene drove them and Mom to Miami to visit Dad. While Mom was gone Aunt Jess came over (from Osage) to oversee us! I dont remember too much about that visit- how long or what they did.
Mom decided not to move to Florida, and Dad came home and no job. We moved to Uncle Dick's in Kirkwood (Uncle Dick moved in with Aunt Ann's family). At that time the Deals were in Osage, nearby. I had met Joe Benson in Collingswood and we decided to elope--be one less mouth to feed! Then in December of 1932 you all moved to St. Pete! Mom and Dad and kids came North again in the summer of 1933 and Joe and I went along to Chicago ( to see the 1933 World's Fair) then back to St. Pete. I remember that trip! Then began (for Joe and me) the Ocean City summers and Florida winter jobs. That was fun and kept us in touch. Then Geoff was born 1936 so we had to settle down in SW Philly, then Aldan (8 yrs) then Drexel Hill (25 years), then Ocean City 22 Yrs and now here (Sarasota) 11 years! Where does the time go? Wouldn't you know, of his 11 living children (when Grandpop decided to move after Grandmother died) he chose to go to Florida to live with our mother! I know he enjoyed that time of his life very much. " (End of Mary's account.)

104. Dear Patty: I am responding to your email to me today asking for an update on the Howard branch of the Vandegrift family.(I am sending a copy to Joyce Trueman and Graham Williams, both in England, just in case they are also updating my twig of the Howard tree). It seems to me that Bruce and Carol should make an effort to update Mary Howard Benson Hain's part of the family, as Mary lives close to them and should have a wealth of material, as she seems to keep a calendar with the birthdates and wedding anniversaries of everybody in her immediate family. Mary is about to turn 87 (in March), and a few months ago she told me that she now had 6 children (5 of her own and the son of Paul Hain, her second husband.) (She counts stepchildren also) Then she has 22 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and in January and February arrived her first two great-great grandchildren! Every letter I get from her announces some new arrival or some new wedding. I find it mind-boggling. I myself completely lose track of her family. I remember that when I would go down to Florida to visit my father he would sometimes call me Francis, so two sons were enough to throw off Pop!
Anyway, I think it would be great if Bruce and Carol could tackle Mary's branch. On Fran's branch we might have to use Mary's data, but we ought to see if any of his five sons (or their offspring) are on line or interested in family. Then Ruth and Kathy should work on Leslie's branch. That leaves me, with only two sons and two daughters, and only one of them married, with very little to do! But I will try. I do have the good fortune that my Howard tree is also on the memory of our other computer, so I can look over at it as I type this. Later, after I have learned how to scan pictures, I will try to add pictures to the mix. My grampop, William Francis Vandegrift, lived with us in Florida for about five years before he died, when I was in junior high school and high school, but I was not taking family notes at that time, I am sorry to say! I suppose he had the family Bible, with all his annotations of dates, but I think that went to Aunt Jess after grampop died. Jean Glatz might still have it.
First let me follow your data and make some corrections.
Anna Louise Vandegrift (you say Anna Louisa, but I never heard anyone say Louisa). b 9 Sep 1889 in Philadelphia (Nicetown section) PA d 4 Dec 1957, St. Petersburg, Florida. bur. St. Petersburg
Spouse: Harold Howard, b 22 May 1888 in Blackley, Manchester, England, (the eleventh and youngest child of Moses Howard and his wife Mary Jane Tinker.) mar. 11 May 1910 in Philadelphia (not St Pete!) d 24 Apr 1966 in St Petersburg, Florida.
Children William Howard b late1910 or early 1911, d of pneumonia early 1912, bur Olney Cemetary, Philadelphia. I think I have a nice photo of him and it may give dates. I went once around 1950 with my mother to that cemetary after we had visited Isabel nearby.
Francis Kerbaugh Howard, b 25 Mar 1912 in Philadelphia. died at 87 at son Dan's house. (I am not aware of any nickname Chetch, which was perhaps in High School. His relatives called him Francis, his neighbors called him Frank.) He married Dorothy Palmer, b 31 Jul 1915. They had five sons ( John Malcom Howard b 4 Feb 1937; William Harold Howard b 27 Dec 1939; Daniel Bruce Howard b 14 Jan 1941, Terrance Wayne Howard b 20 Feb 1945; and James Patrick Howard b 23 Feb 1950. ( I have names and dates of their wives and one or two children, but I am very out of date; there are surely many more offspring by now.) (Fran's wife Dorothy died of colon cancer in Jun 1988 in Floral City, Florida. At the time of Dorothy's death her mother, Mabel Palmer, was still very much alive, a spry and bouncy 99. She lived alone in her house in St Pete until she had a fall at 101; then Fran brought her up to a nursing home in Ocala, closer to him. When Fran got very sick, with liver and kidney troubles we all wondered who now would take care of Mabel Palmer, but she died a month or so before Fran, when she was at the age of 105.)
Mary Louise Howard, b 7 Mar 1914. Mar Joseph Benson b 5 Mar 1913. Joe died 5 Sep 1952. Five children: Robert Geoffrey Benson b 10 Jul 1936; Bruce Howard Benson b 28 Nov 1937; Judith Elaine Benson b 6 Mar 1941; Donald Robin Benson b 14 Feb 1944; and Karen Leslie Benson, b 10 Jan 1949. I also have names of wives and kids here, probably hopelessly out of date, and I hope Bruce and Carol can fill in here. By the way, Judy also has an email address ( <mailto:Milviner@aol.com>Milviner@aol.com). About 3 years after Joe died Mary remarried, to Paul Hain, who already had a son Kenneth. Paul died about two years ago.
John Nelson Howard, b 27 Feb 1921 in Philadelphia PA. My Aunt Ede was with my mother when she went into labor at home. Dr. Roper was sent for urgently, but by the time he arrived Aunt Ede had delivered me! So Aunt Ede always had an especial interest in my progress. I was born in the house on American Street, just a couple of blocks inside the northern city limits of Philadelphia. (The city has now expanded to include all of what was once Philadelphia county.) mar 7 Sep 1950 in Ann Arbor Mich to Irene Russell Rogers b 11 Oct 1926 in Gainesville, Florida (where her father was a professor in the biology department at the University of Florida.)
We have four children: Martha Louise Howard, b 9 Jul 1953; Katherine Ann b 21 Nov 1955; Rogers Vandegrift Howard b 7 Feb 1958; and John James Howard b 27 Feb 1966. JJ was born on my 45th birthday, and my first thought was Gosh, when he's 45 I'll be 90! Our birthday cake is a fire hazard; next time will be 115 candles.
Enough of this for right now; I will send you some more later. Nelson Howard Jan, 18,2001.
105. I decided to spend a little time looking in boxes on the third floor. I found only one thing of interest. In one box of early school mementos (report cards from the third grade, a certificate that I got thru one school year without being absent or late, and tied up bundles of letters from high school friends) I found one notebook where the assignment was evidently to tell something about your family. This was either late Junior High or early high school, so it would be 1936 or 1937. I wrote a little about the Vandegrifts. Unfortunately I did not give detailed dates, only the year. So I must have gotten these dates from my mother, or perhaps from grampop, who was living with us at the time. I show William Francis Vandegrift, b1863 still alive; wife Louise Kerbaugh b ?. d 1931. For Parents of WFV; George Woodruff Vandegrift b 1838, d 1905; wife Alice Virginia Greene b1843, d 1909 (GWV Bucks Co., farmer). (AVG b Baltimore, housewife). For the parents of GWV I had William Vandegrift, b1818, d 1909, Bucks Co., farmer; wife Mary Lovett b ? d ? Chester Co., Housewife. For the parents of AVG I had Robert Greene, b 1826, Alabama, d ?, Gambler. wife Mary Davis b1821, d 1878, Philadelphia, seamstress. For the parents of Louise Kerbaugh I had William Kerbaugh b 1830 d 1891, Nicetown, Cooper; wife Susannah Fleu b 1827, d 1900, Philadelphia, housewife. For the parents of William K I had Francis Kerbaugh b 1802 d 1889, Germantown, cooper. wife Mary Miller, ?, Germantown, housewife. Finally, for the parents of Susannah Fleu I had Charles Fleu, ?, Germantown, wife Susannah Adams, ?, Germantown, housewife.
This may have faulty recollections, but at least it predates the 1964 tree of Aunt Maz. Nelson Howard February 20, 2001

My mother (deceased) Leslie Jane Wales Howard (Williams) parents were Harold Howard and Anna Louisa Vandegrift. Her sibs, Francis Kerbaugh (deceased) Mary Louise Bensen Haines (living in FL) and John Nelson (living in MA) Let's talk! I'd love to see those photos.
I have a pretty extensive tree which traces us back to a Jan Koerbaggs (abt. 12 gens back from my mom.) I have lots of sibling names, 8 gens back from her, mostly on the Vandegrift side. On the Kerbaugh side I only have sibling info for the marriage of Charles Francis Kerbaugh and Sarah Hinchcliffe (Louisa, Forest, Roldand, William, Alice, Anna and Carrie.) I just recently started gen., my bro has been at the Williams side for a few yrs. now and my sister worked on the Howard side for a short time, but I believe she has a lot of data from my mom's sister Mary's side of the family. I believe someone on that side has a very good tree researched.

The truck bears this sign: "Don't buy beef unless you absolutely need it. Help keep prices down." Here's one man who is conducting his own antiinflation campaugn. Congratulations, Mike.

September 2, 1985
Dear Bernard & Hilde,
I don't know if you remember me, but my brother Richard Schwegel of Chicago and I visited you for a few hours in June of 1982. It was a pleasure to make your company as well as your father Peter, your cousin whose name escapes me and your two boys. Everything is fine here with my family. As you may be aware, Richard and Daphne Schwegel of Kitchener visited my parents in Chicago this summer. We all had a very nice time and exchanged information about the Schwegel family. This past month, I obtained on loan a microfilm of the church records in Kirchmohr which covers the period 1752-1900. It takes a while to understand what the records mean but I have been making some headway. In any case, I gave Richard of Kitchener some wrong information in my letter to him of August 19, 1985 and I am afraid that this may mislead him when he arrives in Schrollbach. The enclosed letter is meant for him but I'm certain you may find the information of interest as well and encourage him to read it. Also, I am sorry that I have to write in English but I do not know it in German. I hope all is well with your family and perhaps we will see you in the United States sometime - I hope so.
Yours Very Truly,
Jim Schwegel
Dear Richard and Daphne,
I included some incorrect information in my August 19, 1985 letter. I stated that I was getting on loan the civil records of Schrollbach. This was WRONG, I received a microfilm of the Kirchmohr Church records from 1752 -1900. I have begun to go through it and I have made some very interesting discoveries. If I could bring your attention to the chart I sent you. The side of the family with Jacob Schwegel and Maria Magdal specifically. This is actually Johanne Jacob Schwegel and his wife Maria Magdalena. Besides their son Nicholas which you had listed, another son is Carl Schwegel, the husband of Helena Muller. In addition, another son is named Johanne Jacob Schwegel, the father of Daniel Schwegel and my ancestor. I have included a Xerox of the raw information that I have extracted so far. Therefore we now know how we are related and we found out how your two Schwegel lines connect. As it turns out there are only a couple of Schwegel families in Schrollbach around 1752 or so and I wonder if we have not gotten down to the original pioneers from Austria? While you are in Germany, could you find out how old the church in Kirchmohr is. Specifically, do the records that I have on microfilm which go back to 1752 represent the beginning of that church. Do they have any records which proceed that. And finally, what parish church would Schrollbachers have gone to prior to the existance of the church in Kirchmohr. Thanks for checking into this. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you two have a great time over there.
Very truly yours,
James Schwegel

158. Regarding Richard of Canada's information
To: Pat Woodruff
From: Jim Schwegel
May 19, 2001
The attached photocopy of a booklet was received from Richard Schwegel of Canada. As you can see from my note on the cover the original of this booklet was in the possession of Richard of Canada's Aunt. As you may know from your contact with Richard of Canada, his grandparents were both named Schwegel. He explained that when they went to the local priest, the priest was concerned they might be too close in terms of their blood lines. The priest checked the church records and concluded that they were far enough apart to permit the marriage. Also attached to this note is a letter I got back from Richard of Canada. I had sent Richard a rough outline of the information contained in his booklet as well as some information my brother and I extracted from the Mormon records.

My daughter Janet forwarded your email to me, but for some reason it is smeared and I can not read it. Please mail it to me again. My grandfather's name was also Adam Schwegel. He was born in April 1882 in a little village near the Ramstein airbase. I was born in 1933 in Schrollbach also near Ramstein. Once I get a copy of what you mailed to Janet, I may be of more help.

sixfatkats@yahoo.com
Hello, my name is Marie Ryan. My father Gerry Ryan was
raised by his aunts after his mother passed away. The
aunts were Agnes Schwegel and Frances (Aunt
Tan)Ottinger. Last week, my nephew was at my dad's
grave and met a woman named Eleanor Schwegel. Are you
any relation to her? Can you help me locate her?
My sisters and I don't know much about dad's side, and
research has been frutiless. I know my grandfather was
John Ryan, and he was married to Carrie Price. I
believe Aunt Ag and Aunt Tan were his sisters. I hope
this little bit of info was helpful to you. Please
feel free to e-mail me. Thank you for taking the time
to read my message.
Sincerely,
Marie Ryan

Thank you so much. This is more than we ever knew.
My grandfather was John J. Ryan (Jack)and he was
married to Carrie Price of Bridgeton. My mom told me
that Carrie was not welcome in the Ryan family, since
she was a Protestant. I guess it was quite scandelous
back then. Also, Carrie did beautiful embroidery
work.I believe Carrie died in childbirth. Together,
their children were John, Gerald, Margaret, Mary, and
one other boy. Also, there was a fire, but my dad
never talked about it. John J. Ryan Sr. died on
October 21,1969.
Again, thank you. I guess I'll be spending time in
Millville researching.
Yes, I have 3 sisters, do you
want their children also?
I remember the house in Millville on McNeal St., but I
also remember going to a lake in the area. My sisters
use to stay with the aunts, but that was before I was
born.

The information on Steiny born '27 son born 1966 is correct.
and yes the children listed as schwegel keepfer, were born schwegels adopted
by keepfer. shirley has since divorced him remarried and i think is getting
divorced again. she had a tough life. she was raised by foster parents,
that her father would not allow to adopt her, but her father wouldnt care
for her. She is a great nurse. She works in the outpatient oncology unit
at millville hospital.
and I think tommy is divorced from his second wife, she works at the
courthouse and helped me find the imigration records. even the ones that
were catologed, she helped us go through boxes until we found them.

came to this country at the age of ten, and since that time has been a
resident of Millville.
the photo copy is cut off so I am not sure of the date of the address will
check next trip to historic society. 12 Jan 193? looks like age 57 of
102? north st. does not look like 1021. So Charlotte and Joseph must have
been married at least 10-11 years before coming here. [Info from Kathy Schwegel Ditty from the Millville Historical Society - Millville, NJ]

Hellow Kathy. My name is Steve Schwegel, I am Scott Schwegels father. He told me he wrote to you about the Schwegel tree and forwarded the letter you sent him. I have done a little digging and found some cousins in Cinncinnati Ohio. I only found my fathers aunt Catherine that took him into her house in Cincinnati. My father was Alphonse Henry Schwegel, born Feb 6, 1902. His parents were Daniel Schwegel, born in Schrollback on March 27, 1852 and Catherine Becker. I notice the name Catherine a lot in our family tree, my older sister is Named Catherine also.

Hi Jim,
Nice to hear from you. I'm Dot. Dick's wife. He lets me do all the writing. His grandfather is Daniel born Schrollbach, - Mar 27, 1852 came to America December 1872. He went to Nebraska, taught school at a German settlement on the Missouri River in Northeastern Nebraska. He married a Kathrinna Becker from St. Helena, Nebraska Jan 8, 1878. They moved to Miltonsburgh, Ohio in Aug 1878. They had 10 children. She died in 1908. No record of when he died. He became an American citizen in Cincinnati on Aug 12, 1881. We have a copy of his papers. A cousin Bill Parker told us Daniel's father was a cabinet maker for royalty. That refers to the Emperor of Germany or the King of Bavaria but he wasn't sure. When the family came to America in 1872 (no mention was made of Daniel's parents) his brothers Jacob, Andrew, Nicholas and Peter came with him. Peter lived in Dayton - a cabinet maker; Jacob and Andrew lived in Chicago; Nicholas in Utah, Colorado - He had a son named Otto. I don't know any more about Otto but Bill Parker is a grandson of Daniel. Dick has 3 sisters (65-68-71) and they remembered going to Chicago to visit and "Uncle Jake" when they were very small, about 60 years ago. They also remember their Dad talking about his Aunt Katy. Dick's father Frank worked for the railroad. Dick's sister Helen lived in Dayton, Ohio for years. There is a Sacred Heart Church there but she did not know the streets you mentioned. Richard (Canada) has his ancestors traced back to 1795. He thinks we are all related on his grandmother's side. Her name was also Schwegel and married a Schwegel. He also has a picture of himself at a museum in Berchtergaden, Bavaria looking in a display case of schwegel pipes. They are a collection of musical instruments ; they look like wooden flutes. According to a coat of arms and the history of the Schwegel name, the name means "one who played the flute". The name Schwegel is associated with Austria. 2 of Pete's grandsons lived in Dayton when Helen lived there. Their name is not Schwegel but I can't remember them if you want them I can get them but we have no address. That's about all I know. Hope it helps. - Dot Schwegel
I have a letter from Bernhard Schwegel with a list of Daniel's family. Is that who you visited? If not I'll send you the list if you want it. He said Daniel parents were Daniel Dec 10, 1819 and Katharina (Gies) born in 1822. I have to go out but I have enough time left so I'll add the list. [see source 335]
224. Hello Patricia --
Nice to hear from you. Yes, my family records show that dad was born when his mother was 42. It must run in the family because my older sister was born when dad was 47, I was born when he was 42 and my older sister was born when he was 39.
I have information about Daniel and Katherine Gies. Their children were:
Daniel 1852-1918 ( my fathers father)
Adam 1848-
Anton 1849-
Elizabeth 1858-
Jacob 1859-
Katarina 1859-
Nicholas
Peter
I am not really as involved in research like Kathy. I just wanted to get a little information for my children to pass along to their children. I have not heard of any of the Schwegel's you mention in CA. When dad moved out to CA he became cut off from the family so I did not meet too many of my mid-western relatives.
I have a little family 'lore' about Daniel's children (I think I can find it) if you want me to send it along.

Gies had 8 kids while Daniel-1852- and Catherine Becker had 10 kids. We
certainly have an abundance of Daniels and Katherines.

Good morning Pat;
You must be a nightowl. The easy answer is , it is the law in Germany that there be a civi lmarriage and if poeple want to then a church wedding, The cicil weddind is mostly very simple. Bride & Groom go to the court house with two wittnesses , get registered,and that is it .The church wedding is sometimes on the same day, but very
often a few days later . The church wedding is followed by the wedding clebration.
Ifyou know anybody that has been in the airforce, they will know were Ramstein is , .Schrollbach is only app.5 miles from there.
Daphne and i go to the Port Charlotte area in Florida, that is between Sarasota and Fort Myers. On the way down we allways stop in Cincinnaty to visit Richard and Dorothy Schwegel. His grandfather was Daniel who is suposed to have come to the US in1872.
Here is were it becomes interesting. My grandmothers maiden name was Schwegel.I know that Richard in Cincinnati and I are related through my grand mothers side,because Adam was born in Dietschweiler. When Daniel came over in 1872, his brothers Jacob,Andrew, Peter& Nicholas came with him. Schrollbach and Dietschweiler are app. 10 miles
appart.
All for this morning . Have a nice day Richard.

Dear Jim,
It was good to hear from you. By way of introduction, I am Georgia Stuart Schwegel, widow of Warren Mason Schwegel (not William). Warren's father was Ira, son of Jacob and Christenia. His mother was Elsie Dans of Dayton. My daughter, Margaret has pictures of Jacob and Christenia. Ira had two sons - Donald Frederick and Warren Mason. Donald never married. He died in New York and was buried in Dayton. Warren died in 1975, is buried in Louisville, Kentucky in Cave Hill Cemetery. Warren and I have three children - Margaret, a kindergarten teacher in Cleveland - unmarried. Virginia Stuart, also unmarried, a secretary in the Foreign Service. She is currently stationed in Kuwait. Warren Frederick is married to Nancy Whitman and is the father of David Mason and Katherine Lee. They live in Loomis, California - near Sacramento. Warren is in personnel for the state of California. Jacob's and Christenia's daughter was Nellie, not Hellie. I do not know whether or not she ever married. We met her once- she was traveling for a corset company. Oscar Schwegel married Minnie (?) from Middletown, Ohio - no children. I know nothing about Charles. At the same time that you are researching the Schwegel family, my brother's doing the same for our family, which makes your information even more interesting. We certainly do want to keep in touch and will be eager to learn all we can about the Schwegel family. Do you ever get to Cleveland? Margaret and I would so like to meet you and Marilyn. Margaret lives at 3747 Sherwood Road, South Euclid, 44121 - phone 216-291-2028. I live not far away at 3996 Lancaster Rd. South Euclid, 44121 - phone 216-531-1707. We each have room for guests and hope you will be able to visit soon. Just let us know when. We will look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Sincerely,
Georgia Stuart Schwegel

Hi Pat,
You have so much information! So glad you have taken on this project.
I had tried several years ago to sort out the Chicago Schwegels and also
wrote to some Schwegels in Ohio. I still have the correspondence and no
doubt some of it will dovetail quite nicely with what you had received. It
appears the ancestors of Daniel Schwegel III (1852) did some good work and
had some good records. I had written to
Dick and Dot Schwegel of Cinn, Ohio back in the early 80s and still have my
correspondence. You may be seeing some of the same records show up again
from a variety of sources as they had gotten some of their data from their
Schrollbach ancestors.
With regard to the Chicago Schwegels, there are three main families and they
are all related. You will see the families of Jacob Schwegel (born December
7, 1859 in Schrollbach--my great grandfather) and his brother Anton
(born.November 10, 1849). The third main familly which I have records on but
did not have time to include was a distant cousin of Anton & Jacob and his
name was Karl (Charles). Charles was born on December 8, 1864---I am pretty
sure it was in Schrollbach). He died after being struck by a car in Chicago
on March 15, 1931. He had 11 children.
When I visited Schrollbach in 1982 the Schwegels there knew of a relative
Karl who had traveled to the United States.
I think I have placed Karl on a rough chart of the Schrollbach Schwegels.
There was also an Austrian consular official who was named Jacob Schwegel who
was in Chicago several years before my great grandfather arrived.
I have a photocopy of a census page which seems to be relevant and may result
in some changes on your sheet for Katy and Peter Schwegel. The June 12, 1880
Census for Dayton, Ohio (Page 38, Supervisor Dist 2, Enumeration Dist 155)
shows the following:
Andrew husband 31 yrs.
Mary wife 28 yrs.
Martin son 5
Annie dtr 4
Andrew son 3
Charles son 1 month
Katy sister 18
Peter brother 25 wk. chair
Jacob brother 21 wk. chair factory (My great grandfather)
Nick brother 15 upholsterer

This is my sister Cathy, don,t let her catch you calling her Myrtle :)
Notice both of my sisters were born on new years day. My daughter had
her daughter Kaitlyn on new years also. per Steve Schwegel identifying the California birth index.
239. From schweg@home.com (Steve & Jill Schwegel) I reviewed some of my information and found I have a cousin in El Centro, CA. His name is William F. "Bill" Parker. His parents are Hayes Parker and Olivia (my aunt) Schwegel. Olivias' parents are Daniel and Catherine Schwegel. Daniels parents were Daniel (b. 12-10-1819 d. 11-5-1886) and Katherine (Gies, b. 1822 in Schrollbach Germany.)
I think Cathrine is the one you referred to in your original letter. My information says she had 10 children:
Adam b. 2-10-1848
Anton (Andrew) b. 11-10-1849
Daniel b. 3-27-1852
Elizabeth b. 9-22-1858
Jacob b. 12-7-1859, that is all I know. If I add the siblings that you reference, Nicholas (Scott named his son Nicholas!), Michael and Otto we have all but 2 children accounted for.
I received a olt of information from my cousins Dick and Dot (Dorothy) Schwegel who live at 11490 Folkstone Dr. in Cincinnati, OH 45240. I have not written to them in a while. I found out about Dick and Dot by sending out a letter very similar to the one you sent.
Nice to hear from you. Yes, my family records show that dad was born when his mother was 42. It must run in the family because my older sister was born when dad was 47, I was born when he was 42 and my older sister was born when he was 39.
I have information about Daniel and Katherine Gies. Their children were:
Daniel 1852-1918 ( my fathers father)
Adam 1848-
Anton 1849-
Elizabeth 1858-
Jacob 1859-
Katarina 1859-

Did you know that Daniels (born 1819) parents were Daniel Schwegel - 1783
and Theresia Wiedinger - 1791? He was a carpenter.
Our family would be less confusing to trace if there were not so many
Daniels :) Richard is a great source for information. He and his wife came
to dinner with us one night while they were touring the western states. He
had some very interesting stories about the war and that era. At that time
he lived in Canada and Florida. If you correspond with him again tell him I
said hello.

241. Schrollbach, November 5, 1980 [letter that was sent from Schrollbach to Virginia Carr]
Dear Virginia, dear Gilbert,
Many thanks for your letter of July 10 of this year, and for the pictures. From the letter we could gather that Janet arrived home safely. We enjoyed her visit very much, too bad it was so short. In July of this year, Daphne and Richard Schwegel visited us from Kitchener, Canada and stayed a few days with us. I am sorry that I have not written till today. Because I was the whole month of July away from Schrollbach for medical treatment, I am only now answering your letter. In the registry office, I found the following:
Daniel Schwegel was born March 27, 1852 in Schrollbach. His parents were Daniel Schwegel, born December 10, 1819 in Schrollbach, carpenter by trade, died November 5, 1876 in Schrollbach, and Katharina Schwegel, nee Gies, born 1822. Daniel Schwegel had the following brothers and sisters:
Adam Schwegel, born March 10, 1848 in Schrollbach,
Anton Schwegel born November 10, 1849 in Schrollbach,
Elizabeth Schwegel born September 22, 1858 in Schrollbach,
Jakob Schwegel born December 7, 1859 in Schrollbach
Katharina Schwegel born February 16, 1862 in Schrollbach,
Nikolaus Schwegel born May 7, 1865 in Schrollbach.
The brother Peter whom you mentioned in your letter could not be found in the archives. It is quite possible that Peter was born out of town and therefore was not registered in our office. The grandparents of Daniel Schwegel, born March 27, 1852 are Daniel Schwegel born 1783, carpenter by trade, and Theresia Schwegel, nee Weidinger, born 1791. If I find out any more I will let you know. My father, Peter Schwegel, was 85 years old this September 24. He is still in good health and lives with us. Hilde, my wife is 49 years old, and I am 53 today. We have two sons, Klaus, aged 27, Werner, aged 23, neither of them married. Klaus lives with us, Werner lives about 20 km. away. In these days it has become very cold here, much too cold for this season. I wish you everything good, a pleasant retirement and many greetings from the Schrollbachers, especially from Hilde and Grandpa Peter.

Hi Kathy,
I can't make any direct connection between my Schwegel and yours.
Margareta Schwegel married Jacob Didier. Their son Franz and his wife
Eva Gebhart, immigrated to the US before 1891 when they were married in New
York City. Their grandson John Frank Didier married my second cousin Anna
Josephine Guellich.
Margareta Schwegel was born May 13, 1834, in Schrollbach, Germany. She
died November 7, 1913, in Hauptstuhl, Germany. Jacob and Margareta were
married in 1866 in Muhlbach, Germany. Jacob was born and died in Hauptstuhl,
Germany.

Pat:
Sorry this message is brief. I'll try to catch up with you in a day or two. I've been tied up all day today and tomorrow is mother's birthday.
Mother has several little stories that I want to pass on to you.
Yes, Lorenz and Marie were married in Germany. I have contacted a very distant relative who is supposed to get back to me with some more details. They had twelve children. My mother's mother was Margaret Louise Weniger. My grandmother was the first born in this country (in Bridesburg). I also have a Mass card from Catherine's funeral. It is different as it is a folded card with the information on the inside. I'll attach two jpg files to this message which you may open if you are interested. We now are in the process of cleaning up our GED information and will pass it to you shortly.
My sister Kathy and I do attempt to make rounds of the cemetaries when we have the opportunity to visit Philadelphia. Cedar Hill is on Frankford Avenue. It is a must to go to the office for location information as the cemetary is very large. Our grandparents are buried there along with several other family members. All Saints has a very small (and old) burial ground , but there also is a very large cemetary in Bridesburg that contains several or our ancestor's remains.
The house where Catherine grew up is now occupied by a niece ( I believe). Mother will have to confirm that for me. Mother tells us that your grandfather was quite a handsome man.
I'll do my best to get back to you within a couple of days with more info.
Best Regards,
Bob D'Imperio

Hi Pat
My great Grandfather Patrick came to the United
States on May 13, 1880. His port of entry was Boston
and he sailed on the SS Palmyra. He was born
according to his Naturaliztion Papers on March 17,
1857
but I believe that this date he may have picked. The
date could be right but the year could have been 1856
based on his age when he died in 1925. His age was
listed as 69 on the death certificate. Patrick had
an older brother William that came to the states in
1873 and a younger brother John in 1890. They all
came in through Boston and made their way to Chicopee.
A fourth Brother Thomas stayed in Ireland and took
over the farm from his father when he passed on. The
parents of the four boys and one girl named Mary were
William Malone and Elizabeth Connor (I always add the
fact it could be O'Connor just in case). The family
came from Rahanane, Ventry, County Kerry about four
miles west of Dingle. The first Malone settled there
around 1785 but I haven't nailed his name down yet.
The
father of William was John Malone and the mother a
Miss
Sayers. William was born around 1825 and had at least
one brother John 1823 and one sister Margaret 1821.
The father John is estimated to have been born around
1798.
My Great Grandmother Ellen Kennedy! I'm not to
sure
when she came to this country but I did find an Ellen
Kennedy entering Boston on May 15, 1880 two days after
Patrick aboard the SS Marathon. I know from the
church records in Chicopee that she was with her
mother Elizabeth (Lynch) Kennedy, sisters Katherine
and Mary, plus one brother Thomas. Her father was
also Thomas but everything indicates that he died in
Ireland. I'm currently reviewing the SS Marathon when
I get the chance to try and find Ellen's mother,
sisters, and brother to confirm that the one I found
is indeed my Ellen.
Patrick and Ellen married on January 28, 1882 in
Chicopee and their first child Thomas Malone was born
one year later on January 22, 1883. The other
siblings in order of birth were Maryann 1885,
Elizabeth 1887, William 1889, and Ambrose in 1890.
Thomas married Johanna Sugrue from Castlegregory
on November 24, 1908. It was told to us that Thomas
traveled by train to New York (probably elsewhere) to
perform on stage as an actor. Johanna was overcome by
Tuberculosis and died at an early age and from what
was
told to my sister and me, this ended Thomas's trips
to New York. Thomas did stay involved as I mentioned
previous with the "Father Mathew Temperance Group" in
Chicopee doing acting, directing, makeup, and even
some producing.
We will do our best to identify the picture and
we'll let you know.
Patrick and Ellen could have known each other from
the time they were kids or faith could have bought
them together at the Port of departure. This I may
never know.
Thank you once again
Fran

Pat,
I sent an e-mail yesterday before I investigated the entire site. I am not listed under my father's name as a child. In addition to Nicholas IV and Elizabeth Fleming, I should also be listed -- Judith Schwegel Buerkle. Please let me know how to or who to send the information to. I can certainly fill in some of the blanks. I find this fascinating -- wish I had more time to investigate!

"My dear Margie,
Nice to hear from you - with all your news. It's great you have arranged to take care of your mom. I am now living in FL near Georgia and Frank. Marcia and Dave wanted me to come to Atlanta near them. It's much more reasonable living in Florida, so here I am. I had a vein operation for circulation which has hampered my walking, but I do get around. I remember my cousin Walter Kerbaugh - haven't seen him since childhood. They are related on my mother's side. His Father and my Mom were cousins. He was a tow head quiet boy. How did you know him? From High School? His mother's name was Sara. My grandmother was ? Mother's name was a Kerbaugh. I have the family tree for the Vandegrifts, goes way back to 1700. Your father had one . It's beautiful weather, but, getting warmer. I guess you're proud of your family as am I. Give them all my regards. Write them. Love,
Aunt Marcella

310. Schwaegel Family by Marcella J. Stauder
The Schwaegel family was one of the many German, so called Latin farmers, emigrating into St. Clair Co. in the 1800's. Three known brothers, Jacob, Peter and Charles, the sons of Karl and Maria Anna Swegel - Schwegel came from Bavaria in the year of 1845. It is not known if the parents traveled over or whether more children belonged to this family. During that period, records mention George, William, August and a Schwegel grocer, each having various spellings of the name. The Schwegel grocer established his business in Alton, IL and his descendents still manage the Schwegel Grocery Store. Probable relationship to the three brothers were uncles or cousins. Jacob settled in St. Louis and several of his descendents still live in the St. Louis area. His great grandson, Rev. Robert J. Schwegel, director of the Domus Dei Center in Ballwin, Mo. died 31 Jul 1984. This family was known to have attended some of the Schwaegel reunions. Peter, born 12 Jan 1820, was a single gentleman with a disability and served as a farmhand on Charles' farm until his death in 10 Oct 1909. He was naturalized Nov 1866 as Peter Schwagle. Charles Schwaegel, the subject of this story, received his paper N. 2670 Oct 1864. He settled in the Millstadt Twp., Paderborn area.
Charles, a farmer, was my great grandfather and married Regina Reinhardt on 13 Apr 1857, the eldest living child of Franz and Louisa (Schmidt) Reinhardt, whose family had settled in Paderborn in 1841. It is said that these two families contributed much of their knowledge, hard labor, faith and wealth into the development of the Paderborn Catholic Church. History has it that stone used to build the church was quarried from the Reinhardt farm. Both families are entombed in the parish cemetery of St. Michael.
According to the 1901 map of Smithton Twp. (Sec. 30 and 31) T1S R8W, Charles was the proud owner of 250 plus acres on and near the Smithton Turner Hall Road. Charles was born 19 Mar 1825, died 18 Mar 1912 and Regina was born in Trenfurt, Germany on 8 Sep 1836 and died 6 Dec 1912. they were the parents of 10 living children: Louisa M., Jacob, Mary, Charles, Catherine, Barbara, Frank, August, John and Phillipina. Most of these children continued farming.
Louisa M., my grandmother, was born 21 Oct 1858 and married 3 Feb 1880 in Paderborn to William Baechle, also a farmer. William was born 20 May 1850 in Ober-Wolfach, Baden Germany and died 13 Mar 1928, before my birth. As a child of 6, I vaguely remember my grandmother as a warm and gentle person, devoted to her children and grandchildren. During her last Christmas with us, she gave my sister and me each a Shirley Temple dol which still bring back fond memories of her. Grandmother's death on the following 17 Mar 1936 brought sadness to many.
William and Louisa had 7 sons and 1 daughter, who was my mother, Louisa M. Becherer. (See Joseph Becherer story) The sons Charles, Jacob, Eugene, Theodore and Oscar lived in the city of Belleville and all had families. The youngest son, Benjamin, was single and died during the draft of World War I at the age of 25 of influenza. William owned a farm near Scott Field, where I remember many summer vacations as a child. Pastime was gazing in the sky at the huge airplanes and searching for different colors of unearthed glass with my cousin, Helena Baechle Beisiegel. Fifty years later, we spend many hours together searching for family photos and data, getting much pleasure visiting almost forgotten relatives. The farm is now consumed by the Scott Air Force Base, and Helena passed away 18 Feb 1985, but not until her dreams were fulfilled.
Jacob Schwegel, a well known farmer, married Louisa Munier and were parents of 7 children, namely, Joseph, Adolf, Otto, Edwin, Theodore, Estelle and Elenore Weissert. I recall their golden wedding anniversary celebration with an outdoor dance, at the age of six. It was a large gathering and it made the St. Louis Post Dispatch News with pictures, 4 Aug 1935. Charles, Jr. married Magdalena Munier, a sister to Jacob's wife, Louisa. Their children included Clarence, Edmund, Olivia, Irma and Arthur. Charles lived 4 households from our farm. Leonard Schneider and Olivia, also close neighbors, were friends more than family, as Leonard was my father's best friend, co-worker, fishing and card playing buddy.
Mary was the second wife of Joseph Brielmaier and had a large family of 12 living children: Herman, Augusta Armbruster, Robert Edwin, Cecelia Neff, Adelle, Edna, Victor, Lucinda, and Anna Brielmaier. Clements and Benjamin were twins. Catherine Schwaegel married Ignatius Schaefer and lived in St. Louis, their children being Arthur, Clements, Raymond, Hilda M. and Clara A. Schaefer. Another daughter, Barbara Schwaegel, was the second wife of Frank Bertelsman. Children included Emil, Gertrude Houston, William, Magdelena, Eugene, Regina Hawthorne, Charles, Clarence and Walter. William and Alvina Bertelsman were the parents of Rev. Clarence Bertelsman, OMI, currently a missionary serving in the Phillipines.
Frank married Johanna Keller and they had 11 children. I remember Frank, after his retirement from the Smithton Farm, working in the Schwaegel Grocery Store in Smithton, managed by his sons, Hugo and William. Other children include Oscar, Clara Daab, Caroline Friedrich, Edgar, Irvin, Leo, Selma Mueller, Elmer and Elenor Weyhaupt. Hugo and Edna are the parents of Msgr. Joseph R. Schwaegel, Vice Chancellor of Dioceses of Belleville and secretary to Bishop James P. Keleher. Msgr. is a great grandson of Charles and Regina Schwaegel.
August Schwaegel married Theresa Kaubreck. They had 3 children: Amanda Thouvenot, Alma Darr and Walter. His brother, John Schwaegel, married Cordula Lindner. Their seven children included Emily Wright, Matilda, Rudolf, Raymond, Herbert, Orville and John. The youngest daughter of Charles, Phillipina (Bina) married Nicholas Schaefer. They farmed below Smithton and had 8 living children named: Carl, Mary Gass, Henry, Cecilia, William, Aloysius, Clara Wittenauer and Paul Schaefer.
Many thanks belong to Adelle and Anna Brielmaier, for assuming the monumental task of arranging the annual reunions and dispensing family information to all. Their efforts enticed me into the love of genealogy with encouragement to further delve into the continuing history of the 7th generation of the Schwaegel family.

316. Byberry Waltons:
Pat,
I have some information for you.
From Byberry Waltons, by my grandfather, Norman Walton Swayne, "Ann Walton
... daughter of of Joshua Walton and Catharine Albertson of Byberry Twp,
Philadelphia Co., PA., married 1st May 28, 1761, at Swede's Church in Phila.
by license issued Apr. 16, 1761, John Vandegrift, died by 1779, married 2nd
by 1779 a Fetters. The will of John Vandegrift of Neshaminy, drawn Jan. 13,
1777, proved in Bucks Co., Jan 16, 1779, named wife Ann and her brother
Jonathan Walton. Letters were issued to Ann Fetters late Vandegrift and her
first husband's brother Joseph Vandegrift, the 3rd exr named, Ann's brother
Jonathan, having renounced."
My grandfather named only three of their children, who were named in the
will of Ann's brother, Jonathan Walton: Johnathan, Joshua, and John.
I have more on Ann Walton's ancestry, if you like. I am descended from her
grandparents, Daniel Walton and Mary Lamb. I am therefore related to John
and Ann's descendants.
Yours truly,
Rick (Richard Walton) Swayne

317. Children of Jacob Leendertsen van der Grift from Nelson Howard
Jacob Leendertsen van der Grift was born in Amsterdam on 23 Oct 1622 and arrived about 1644 in New Amsterdam, where his brother Paulus Leendertsen van der Grift already lived. On 19 Jul 1648 he married in New Amsterdam Rebecca Frederickse, the daughter of Frederick Lubbertsen. Jacob and Rebecca had eight children baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church. Paulus and his wife were witnesses at five of these baptisms. The children were:
(1) Martje (2) Christine (3) Anna (4) Leendert (5) Nicolas (6) Frederick (7) Rachel and (8) Johannes.
(1) Martje was baptized 29 Aug 1649. On 11 Mar 1666 she married Cornelius Corsen Vroom (who was bapt. 23 Apr 1645). He was the son of Cornelius Piterse Vroom and Tryntje Hendricks. After the death of Cornelius Piterse Vroom his widow Tryntje married, around 1657, Frederick Lubbertsen (Martje's grandfather), whose wife Styntje (Martje's grandmother) had died. So Martje's mother-in-law became also her step-grandmother. On the 1675 Assessment Rolls of the Five Dutch Towns on Long Island, Cornelis Corse Vroom of Breuckelen (Brooklyn) is listed as having 2 horses, 3 cows, 4 sheep, 2 hogs, and 22 morgens of land, for an assessment of 114 English pounds. Her grandfather Frederick Lubbertse had a nearby farm of 15 morgens of land, and the farmers Gerrit Lubbertse (20 morgens) and Eldertt Lubbertse (16 morgens), both in Middelwout (Flatbush), and Theys Lubbertse (12 morgens) in New Utrecht were possibly relatives. Martje and her husband Cornelis Corsen apparently also went with the other children of Jacob Leendertsen Vandegrift to Bucks County, Pennsylvania around 1697, as in the Davis "History of Bucks County" it is asserted that many descendents of Marytje and Cornelius Corsen (or Corssen) still reside in Bucks County. (However, Corsen simply means son of Cornelis, a very common name, so even Davis could be in error.)
(2) Christina was baptized 26 Feb 1651. On 9 Oct 1678 she married Cornelius Jacobse Schipper, a widower, by whom she had two children, Abraham and Jacobus. She married (second) 14 Apr 1681, Daniel Veenvous,(or Van Vos) from Beuren, in Gelderland, by whom she had five children: Wilhelmina, Rebecca, and Contantia (two others also named Rebecca died in infancy). (There are several items in Stokes on Daniel Veenvous; he received a land grant which later became the site of the first Presbyterian church in New Amsterdam.)
(3) Anna was baptized 16 Mar 1653. On 29 Sep 1674 she married Jacob Claessen Groesbeck. They removed to Bucks County with the rest of the family in 1697, and he purchased land in Bensalem adjacent to that of his brothers-in-law. Two of his daughters married into well-known families of Bucks. They were:
Rebecca, baptized 23 Jun 1673
Leah, baptized 11 Feb 1680, married 17 Dec 1702 Johannes van Sandt.
Rachel, baptized 21 Nov 1682, married 8 Nov 1704 James Biddle
Johanna, baptized 9 Aug 1685.
(4) Leendert was baptized 19 Dec 1655. He married 20 Nov 1678, Christina (Styntje) Ellsworth, bapt.1657. On 28 May Styntje joined the Dutch church. (She is not listed as a church member in 1686 by Selijns, which seems strange, as she had a son baptized in July of that year. Among the members of the "Sammeny" (Neshaminy) church in Bucks County in 1710 are "Leendert Vandergrift and his wife Styntje elshuert, by certificate." Christina probably died before 6 Dec 1721, for on that date Leonard Vandergrist" married Christina Garretson in the 1st Presbyterian Ch. Of Philadelphia. Leendert died in Bensalem before 18 Feb 1725. He, with his three brothers and two brothers-in-law, purchased land in Bensalem in 1697 from Joseph Growden. He bought two tracts, of 135 and 106 acres. He later purchased 74 acres from his brother Frederick. He and his wife were received at Bensalem Church in 1710 and he was appointed junior elder. On 30 Dec 1715 he was commissioned a justice of the peace. Letters of administration on his estate were granted 18 Feb 1725 to his son Abraham, known as Abraham Vandegrift by the River..All of his children except Abraham moved to St.Georges Hundred, New Castle county, Delaware, prior to the death of their father. The departed children conveyed the property to Abraham in 1743. The 8 children of Leendert (Leonard) were:
Jacob, baptized 20 Sep 1679; died in Appoquinimy Hundred, New Castle Co.,Del., before 1754. Wife named Sarah; 2 sons: Leonard, bapt. 29 Sep 1718, and Jacob. Daughters: Christian Atkinson, Ann, Elizabeth and 3 others.
Christoffel, (Theophilus) baptized 6 Aug 1681, died before Dec 1743. Christopher van Degrift married 7 Jul 1704 Sarah Druitt. Son Leonard, bapt.2 Apr 1709 (Phila), mar. Mary Jeton, dau of Lewis.
Rebecca, baptized 15 Dec 1683, married 8 Nov 1704 Albert van Sandt
Abraham baptized 4 Jul 1686, probably died young, as a brother in 1691 is named Abram.
Abram bapt. 18 Oct 1691, married 17 Oct 1716, Maritje van Sandt, "Abraham by the River"
died Mar 1748, leaving 6 children. His heirs conveyed the property to son Leonard, 1761.
Leonard (of Bensalem). Leonard had a son Capt. Josiah Vandegrift.
Garret of Philadelphia
Abraham of Philadelphia
Christine,wife of Yost Miller of Salem Co., N.J.
Mary, wife of Mathew Corbet
Jemima, wife of George Taylor of Chesterfield, New Jersey
Anneken, baptized 7 Apr 1689, married Andrew Duow
Elizabeth, baptized at Breukelen 8 Oct 1691, married 23 May 1710 Francis Kroeson
Annetje, baptized 12 Jun 1695, married 22 Dec 1715 Cornelius King
(5) Nicholas was baptized 5 May 1658 in New Amsterdam. He married 24 Aug 1684 Barentje Verkerk. He died in Sussex Co., Delaware, before 1722. See separate Entry. Their six children were:(1) Rebecca, b.1685; (2) Mary, b.1689; (3) Jacob, b.1690; (4) Jan (John), b.1691; (5) Nicholas, b.1693; (6) Deborah, b.1695; (all baptized in New Utrecht, Long Island, New York.)
(6) Frederick was baptized 20 Aug 1661. On 1 Jul 1697 he purchased of Joseph Growden 106 acres adjoining that of his brothers in Bensalem. A year later he conveyed 74 acres to his brother Leonard. If ever a resident of Bucks county he probably remained but a short time.
(7) Rachel was baptized 20 Aug 1664. In 1689 she married Barent Jansen Verkerk, brother to the wife of Nicholas Vandegrift. Barent Verkerk purchased from Joseph Growden a tract of land in Bensalem in 1697 adjacent to his brothers-in-law. He died in 1739, leaving six children: Jacob; John; Mary (m. Niels Boon); Constantina, (m. James Fitchet); Dinah, (m. James Keirll); and a daughter who m. an Underwood.
(8) Johannes was baptized 26 Jun 1667, and died 1745 in Bensalem. On 23 Sep 1694 he married Nealkie Volkers, the widow of Cornelius Cortelyou. (Cornelis Cortelyou was a son of Jacques Cortelyou, who lived in New Utrecht, and was the official surveyor of New Amsterdam.) Nealkie was living at the time of his will in 1732, but died before 1740. On 1 Jul 1741 he married (2) Elizabeth Snowden, a widow. In 1697 he bought from Joseph Growdon 190 acres in Bensalem adjoining the land of his brothers. He was an elder of the "Shammeny" church, having joined it at its organization in 1710. His will, dated 16 Mar 1732, proved 28 Mar 1745, devises to son Abraham the farm he lives on, for life, and if he die without issue it is to go to his surviving brothers and sisters. Some years later the children of Johannes entered into an agreement by which the land was to vest in the heirs of those deceased, even though they did not survive Abraham. As Abraham died without issue in 1781, the subsequent conveyences of land throw light on the family connections. In 1786 the representatives of Jacob, Rebecca, Christana, and Helena conveyed the 160 acres to Jacob Jackson, and later a partition was had between Jackson and Abraham, Harmon, and Cornelius, sons of Fulkert. Johannes and Nealkie (Volkers) Vandegrift had seven children: Fulkert b.1695; Jacob b. 1696; Abraham b.1698; Rebecca; Christiana; Lenah; and Esther
Abraham, born 1698, died 20 Feb 1781, married, wife named Charity, d. 1786; no issue.
Rebecca, died 1780, married John Van Horn
Christiana, married 8 Nov 1722, Joseph Foster
Lenah (Helena), married a Fulton.
Esther, baptized in Bucks Co., 10 May 1710
Jacob, bapt. at New York, 14 Oct 1696, d. Bensalem 1771, married Choyes Touley(?)
Fulkert, b.1695, died 1775. Married 6 May 1719 Elizabeth Van Sandt, and (2) 10 Aug 1742, Marytje Hufte. He was a considerable landholder in Bensalem. He had five sons: Folkhart; Harman; Abraham; Cornelius and John; and also three daughters: Alice LaRue; Elizabeth Krusen; and Elinor, most of whom have left descendants in Bucks County.
Most of the Vandegrifts of Bucks County are descendents of Johannes and Nealkie (Volkers) Vandegrift. On the Bristol Turnpike, just above Andalusia College, is the Vandegrift graveyard, where rest the remains of many members of the family. The ground, half an acre, was given by Fulkard Vandegrift in 1775, and is part of the 200 acres bought from Joseph Growdon by Nicholas Vandegrift in 1697.
Nicholas Vandegrift (b,1658), fifth child of Jacob Leendertsen and Rebecca Vandegrift
Nicholas Vandegrift was baptized 5 May 1658 in Brooklyn, and died in Cecil County, Maryland before 1722. He was married 24 Aug 1684 at New Utrecht, Long Island, to Barentje Verkerk, a daughter of Jan Verkerk and Maykje Gysberts. They settled at New Utrecht, where he took the oath of allegience to James II (formerly the Duke of York) in September 1687, and where he purchased land in 1691. Their firstchild, named Rebecca after her grandmother, was baptized in New Utrecht 26 Jul 1685, and grandparents Jacob Leendertsen and Rebecca Fredrickse Vandegrift were present as witnesses. Jacob Leendertsen apparently died before 1697, as in that year most of the children of Jacob moved with their mother and their spouses to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where they bought generous farms, all adjacent to each other, from Joseph Growdon, who owned over 5000 acres in Bensalem township. (Nicholas conveyed his land in New Utrecht after his removal.) On 1 Jul 1697 Nicholas bought 214 acres from Joseph Growdon. Later, he purchased 200 acres on the Poquessin Creek in Philadelphia County from Giles Knight. This creek is the boundary between Philadelphia and Bucks counties. He also bought 100 acres in the last mentioned locality from John Gilbert. He joined the Bensalem Church, the "Shamminy Church", on Neshaminy Creek, when it was organized in 1710, and became a junior deacon. Nicholas and Barentje had six children: Rebecca, Mary, Jacob, Jan (John), Deborah, and Nicholas. Nicholas and Barentje settled in Cecil County, Maryland, prior to November 1719, when he leased from Ephraim Augustine Herman a plantation in the Bohemia Manor. (Lord Baltimore had in 1662 given a patent to about 30,000 acres in Cecil County, Maryland, to Ephriam's father, Augustyn Heermans, formerly of New Amsterdam and originally from Prague, Bohemia, as payment for a splendid detailed survey and map of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay area made by Heermans.) The yearly rent for this plantation was two pounds silver money and "two dunghill fowles". Nicholas died in Cecil county before 1722, when letters of administration on his estate were granted to John Copping.
The children of Nicholas and Barentje Vandegrift.
(1) Rebecca Vandegrift was bapt. in New Utrecht 26 Jul 1685. Sponsors were Jacob Leendertsen Vandegrift and Rebecca (his wife). She married Jacobus Van Sant, 7 Nov 1707..She died 13 Jan 1747.
(2) Micah (Mary) b.1689, New Utrecht. Married Joris (George) vanSandt.
(3) Jacob Vandegrift, baptized 1690. He maried Joyce Touley (or Towley or Teulie) 23 Oct 1716. Died abt. 13 Oct 1730
(4) Jan (John) Vandegrift, bapt. in New Utrecht 1 Jan 1691; sponsors Barent Verkerk and Haykin Gysberts. He evidently remained in Bensalem after his father moved to Maryland, as on 5 May 1721 he married Anna (or Hannah) Backer at the Abington Presbyterian Church. He died 27 Aug 1765.
(5) Deborah Vandegrift was bapt. 21 April 1695 in New Utrecht, sponsors Roelof Verkerk and Catherine Simons. She married Lawrence Johnson. (Laurent Jansen, or Lawrence Johnson, was doubtless the son of Claus Jansen, who purchased several tracts of land in Bensalem some years earlier than the Vandegrifts. He died in 1723, devising his lands to his sons Lawrence, John, and Richard.)
(6) Nicholas Vandegrift, b.1693, New Utrecht, Died, Cecil County, Maryland, 1745. On 3 Aug 1727 mar. Susannah Perry. They had seven children: Mary, Jacob, Perregrine, Eleanor, Esther, Ann, and Nicholas.
The children and grandchildren of Jan (John) and Anna Backer Vandegrift
Jan (John) Vandegrift, the son of Nicholas, was born 1691, married Anna Backer in 1721, and died 27 Aug 1765. John became a large land owner in Bensalem and had seven children: Nicholas, Jacob, John, Joseph, (for many years an inn keeper in Bensalem), Catherine Sands (probably van Sandt), Esther, who married John Houten, and Rebecca Vansciver.
Of the sons of Jan (John), John (Jan), was born 1735, and married Ann Walton 28 May 1761. He died in 1777 and the widow Ann married Charles Fetters a year later. The children of John (Jan) Vandegrift and Ann Walton were Joshua, Joseph, John, (b.1768), Jonathan, and Mary.
The children and grandchildren of John (b.1768) Vandegrift
John Vandegrift was born in 1768 in Bensalem and married around 1793, although no record is available. (By 1800 Bensalem was no longer a distant villiage, but a suburb of Philadelphia, and the family had spread to other churches, difficult to trace.) He had five children: Rachel, William, Cordelia, Amanda (Jemina), and Louise. His son William was known as Billy T., although we do not know what the "T." stands for.
William ("Billy T.") Vandegrift was born 16 January 1818 in Bensalem and died 23 Jan 1908 at the age of 90. On 17 Feb 1839 he married Mary Ann Lovett, who was born 9 Nov 1817 and died 23 Oct 1890. They had seven children, two sons and five daughters. These were:
(1) George Woodruff, b. 1841, d. 1909, m. Alice Virginia Green; 10 children. See separate entry.
(2) Charles Nester. Children: George, Goforth, Comfort.
(3) Mary Elizabeth, married John Moody. They had two children, one named Mabel, who married a man named Jammey and had two children;Lovett and a girl, Winnabelle
(4) Jessie James Buckley. Did not marry.
(5) Selena, m. (1) McCormick; a daughter, Anna. Selena m. (2) Fetters; a daughter, Anna
(6) Anna Mercy, m. George Knight. Children: Oscar, Jonathon, Helen, Marian, and Ivan.
(7) Margaret, m. Frank Craven; 5 sons; Giles, Frank, George L., Goforth, Comfort; dau., Viola.
With "Billy T." we come to modern history. Since he lived to be 90, many of the children of Wm. Francis remembered their great grandfather; he died only a year before their grandfather. Carrie was 26;Anna Louise was 19. And the family Bible of William Francis gives fairly detailed dates for the subsequent descendants.

321. Styntje is the nickname for Cristina, and Styntje Jansen b1609 was the wife of Fredrik Lubbertsen, and the mother of Rebecca Fredricksa b1628 who married Jacob Leendertsen b1622. Since Fredrik Lubbertsen referred to Claes Jansen de Ruyter (sometimes called Claes Jansen van Naarden, a town about 10 miles east of Amsterdam) as his brother-in-law, I have assumed that Styntje is the sister of Claes although I suppose it is possible that Lubbertsen had a sister that married Claes.(But then her name would have been Pieterje Lubbertse, and the name of Claes Jansen de Ruyter' spouse seems to have been Pieterje Jansen,) (It is still possible, I suppose, but rather less likely, That Fredrik and Claes were two sailors who married two sisters whose father was named Jan.) Claes Jansen de Ruyter was an interesting character, originally a sailor, later a carpenter, and still later he ran one of the most popular taverns (The Blue Dove) in New Amsterdam.

The earliest van der Grifts
Teunis Bergen, who wrote many biographical and genealogical sketches of the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam, states that the vander Grifts probably came originally from near the village of Buren in the province of Gelderland, and are named for a small local river, the Grift River. ( Buren is about five miles southeast of Utrecht.) Others speculate that Grift may be a corruption of Gracht or Graght, meaning ditch or canal. In New Amsterdam in the 1680s there was a family including a Pieter Adolphszen van der Groeft, also spelled van der Griff, but this family apparently shortened their name to De Groot. Van der Grift appears also as van de Grift, van die Grift, van der Griff, and van der Grist.
Dutch records in the Family History Library of the Morman church indicate that the father of Paulus and Jacob Leendertsen was Leendert Evertsz van der Grift, born about 1587 in Charlois, South Holland. His father was Evert (or Evvard) Antonize, who would have been born about 1567, (and in turn one could say that Evert's father would be Anton or Anthony, born about 1547.) The mother of Leendert Evertsz was Elsje Tijssene (or Thyssene), born about 1567, (and her father Tijs, or Thys, would have been born about 1547.) Leendert Evertsz died before 1657, as his wife was stated to be a widow that year.
The mother of Paulus and Jacob Leendertsen was Maritje Pouwelse, born about 1585 in Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalien, then a part of Prussia. (and in turn one can estimate that her father was named Paul or Pouwel, born about 1565
Leendert Evertsz van der Grift and Maritje Pouwelse married in Amsterdam 27 Jun 1609. Leendert and Maritje had 7 children, all born in Amsterdam.

"Schout Nicasius de Sille, plantiff v/s Reiner Gaukes, defendent, says that about twelve days ago the defendent used great violence at the house of Clery Aart, abused the widow as bawd and the daughter as a whore and struck Hendrick Pieterson, who strove with gentleness to get him out of the house; also Jan Gilleson Koeck, wherefore Mr. Paulus Leendertsen van der Grift had had him removed. Requests the fine and something at the discretion of the Judges, for the Poor..." [defendent denies knowledge of any misconduct on the grounds that he was too drunk to remember and requests proof, etc.]
324. The blame for this war seems to rest entirely on one Dutchman, Hendrick van Dyck, who had been schout-fiscal (administrative magistrate) of New Amsterdam. Van Dyck's comfortable house, with its garden and orchard, stood on the west side of Broadway, a little way above the Bowling Green, and next to him lived Paulus van der Grift, the sturdy sea dog who had six years earlier captured the San Beninio in New Haven harbor. The front part of van der Grift's house was a shop in which he retailed groceries, dry goods, and knick-knacks. On a September afternoon van Dyck came upon an Indian squaw in his orchard, stealing peaches, and instantly drew his pistol and killed her. It was a cruel act and incredibly stupid. For ten years, ever since the conclusion in 1644 of Kieft's war, the Indians had made no trouble. Stuyvesant in his dealing with them was firm, truthful, and just, and had reason to feel proud of his success in winning their friendship. The wretched van Dyke put an end to this peace and security. Before daybreak on September 15, while the little town was still wrapt in slumber, a swarm of canoes came gliding through the water, and nearly 2000 tawney Algonquins from Esopus and Hackensack, Tappan and Stamford, leaped ashore on Manhattan and thronged through the streets. They offered no violence to anybody, but here and there a party of them burst into a house, under pretence of searching for Mohawks. Some of the city magistrates succeeded in getting the sachems (the tribal leaders) to come into the fort, where a parley was held. As a result of the conference the warriors took their canoes and paddled off to Governor's Island, but at sundown they returned. A party of them landed at the Battery, and rushed up Broadway to van Dyck's door, and when he opened the door, shot him with an arrow. (He did however recover from his wound, which was serious, but not fatal.) His neighbor, the imposing and courageous sea captain Paulus van der Grift, came to his rescue and tried to restore peace, but was struck in the leg by a tomahawk. Other citizens turned out so promptly that the Indians retreated to their canoes and departed. The Indians crossed the Hudson and aimed their blow at the villages across the river. Hoboken and Pavonia were laid in ashes, and then Staten Island was devastated. Within three days 100 persons had been murdered, 150 had been carried off into captivity, and 300 had lost their homes. Not less than 500 head of cattle were killed or driven away, and an immense quanity of grain was burnt. Of these victims seven men and one woman were put to death in cold blood,with fiendish cruelties.
Stuyvesant was hastily summoned back from the Delaware River, and negotiated an uneasy truce with the Indians. It was not until May of 1664 that the last treaty of peace was made between the Dutch and the Algonquins.
( From "The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America", volume VII of the Historical Writings of John Fiske, Houghton, Mifflin Co.,1899).
325. Justice in New Amsterdam
The members of the City Council sometimes had to sit as a Court. On 17 Jan 1641, during the regime of Director Kieft, the Fiscal, acting as Prosecutor, presented a case in which a negro, named Jan Premero, had been killed, and eight other negroes had been apprehended and charged in his death. These were Clein Antonio Paulo d'Angola, Gracia d'Angola, Jan of Fort Orange, Manuel de Gerrit the giant, Anthony Portuguese, Manuel Minuet, Simon Congo, and Manuel the Great. The prisoners pleaded guilty. After some deliberation, the sentence was that one must die, and the eight shall draw lots to determine who shall suffer death. Whereupon, the lot "by God's providence," fell on Manuel Gerrit, the giant. The others were released and he was remanded for sentence. At the Council meeting on 24 Jan 1641 he was sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead, as an example to all such malefactors. The Council Minutes of later that same day set forth that when the hangman turned off the ladder, the above giant, having two strong halters round his neck, fell, but both halters broke. Whereupon all the bystanders called out, Mercy! Which was accordingly granted.
Hanging of criminals was a rare occurrence; the gallows were there, at Schreyers Hoek near the ship landing dock, but ordinarily served only as a reminder and a caution. The usual punishment, even for serious crimes, was banishment from the city. This meant, generally, going off to one of the more remote villages and keeping a low profile for a respectable length of time, after which one could seek a pardon.
On 20 Jun 1641 the Court considered the case of Gillis de Voocht vs. Tomas Tomassen's wife, respecting a bill for making shirts. Case referred to arbitration.
On 8 Aug 1641 the guardian of the minor children of the late Cornelis van Vorst vs. Maryn Adriaensen, Hendrick the tailor, Jacob Stoffelsen and Frederick Lubbertsen, for debt (the guardian feeling that some of Van Vorst's livestock are missing). Adraiensen and Lubbertsen proved that they had paid Stoffelsen; judgement accordingly. On 12 Sep 1641 the Court ordered Maryn Adriaensen and Frederick Lubbertsen to declare under oath that they have no other accounts with Hendrick van Vorst than those relating to the cows they purchased from Vroutje Ides Van Vorst.
On 12 Sep 1641 Isaac Allerton sued Anthony Jansen from Salee for goods sold and delivered; judgement for plaintiff; defendant to pay before leaving Manhattan Island. (Allerton was an Englishman who had arrived at Plimouth Colony on the Mayflower, but later came to New Amsterdam.)
In the latter part of 1647, when Paulus Leendertsen was a Council member, Director Stuyvesant had to deal with an afront to his office. An odd character named Michel Picquet had earlier committed a minor offence, perhaps while not sober, but Stuyvesant had afterwards pardoned him, so that he was again free. But a few days later, again perhaps while not sober, he had threatened to shoot Director Stuyvesant between the fort and Stuyvesant's bouwery (about a mile to the north.) Picquet was of course immediately again arrested, and on 20 Sep 1647 Stuyvesant asked the Council how should he be prosecuted. Four witnesses appeared on 28 September before the Council, sitting as a Court. The Council then passed a resolution that each of the members of the Council shall conscientiously declare what punishment the prisoner deserves, and vote accordingly. Michel Picquot was brought before a Council meeting on 30 Sep and examined. Director Stuyvesant said that he would not participate in the deliberations, inasmuch as he was personally involved, although he did opine that since there were four witnesses to support the charges, it should not be necessary to subject him to torture. He also let it be known that he thought that the death penalty would be in order for so heinous a crime.
Vice-Director Dincklage expressed the opinion that the prisoner must be convicted on his own confession, whether voluntary or by torture, on the principle, nemo inauditus et sine propria confessione facile condemnatur. (No one remaining silent and without confession should be easily condemned.) Brian Nuton (Newton) expressed the opinion that he could be condemned on the above evidence. Paulus Leendertsen (van der Grift) expressed the opinion that the prisoner must first be brought to the rack (tortured), and confess, otherwise he cannot be condemned to death; on the evidence of others he can only be banished. Adriaen Keyser was of the opinion that the prisoner should be tortured, and when he confesses, condemned; in case he do not confess, then he may be banished.
On 4 Oct 1647 the sentence was announced: perpetual banishment, and eighteen years' imprisonment at hard labor in the workhouse at Amsterdam.
On 12 May 1664 The Court passed a sentence on Jan Willemsen van Iselsteyn, commonly called Jan of Leyden, for expressing abusive language, and writing an insolent letter to the magistrate of Bushwyck; that he be fastened to a stake at the place of public execution, with a bridle in his mouth, rods under his arms, and a paper on his breast with an inscription-- "Lampoon writer, False accuser and Defamer of its magistrates," and afterwards banished, with costs.
On 12 May 1664. Sentence. William Jansen Traphagen of Lemgo, for being the bearer of the above insolent letter to the magistrates of Bushwyck, and using indecent language towards them; to be tied to a stake as above, with a paper on his breast inscribed, "Lampoon carrier," and then to be banished, with costs.
326. The San Beninio Affair, October 1649
The Dutch colony of New Netherland claimed the entire region between the North River (now called the Hudson) and the South River, (now called the Delaware), as well as all of Long Island, and the mainland coast from New Amsterdam to and including the Connecticutt River. The British colony of New Haven also claimed that coast and also all of Long Island. In spite of these conflicting claims, the two groups occasionally traded with each other, and in 1650 they formally agreed that Long Island east of Oyster Bay and the mainland coast east of Stamford was a British area of control, with Dutch control to the west of those points. British ships also came to New Amsterdam to trade Virginia tobacco for Hudson beaver pelts, and Dutch ships traded occasionally with the British colonies in New England and Virginia. But the Dutch West India Company had a firm rule that Dutch ships so trading should obtain a license and pay a tarif at New Amsterdam for such trading.
In the fall of 1649 Van Tienhoven, the Secretary of New Netherland, paid a visit to New Haven, and there in the harbor he found a Dutch ship, the San Beninio, which had been quietly riding at anchor for several weeks, doing a brisk trade with the English, in total defiance of the rules which required a licence from the West India Company. The owners of the cargo asked him for a license, promising to pay the customary exhorbutant duties. On his return to Manhattan the secretary obtained the license and sent it to New Haven. A fortnight later one of the owners, Mynheer Samuel Goedenhuyzen, made his appearance at Manhattan, but as to paying duties or even showing his invoices, he gave no sign. When, therefore he let fall the imprudent remark that the San Beninio was about ready to sail for Virginia, it was not unnaturally assumed that he was meditating a fraud on the Company. It was now Director-General Stuyvesant's opportunity to show the long reach of his arm. He had recently sold one of the Company's ships, the Zwol, to Stephen Goodyear, the deputy governor of New Haven, and had agreed to deliver her at that port. In this vessel Stuyvesant now embarked a military force of ten soldiers under sea Captain Paulus van der Grift, with orders to seize the San Beninio in New Haven harbor and bring her to Manhattan. It was a venturesome deed, as the San Beninio mounted ten guns, but it was most neatly and sucessfully done. On a Sunday morning in October, when all the people were in church,--and very little truancy on such occasions was permitted by the magistrates in that devout colony,-- Captain van der Grift brought his ship alongside of Master Goedenhuyzen's craft, when in a trice he boarded her, overpowered her crew, and steered her out of the harbor. There was clamor and cursing enough to disturb Parson Davenport's sermon, and some rushing from the pews to the meeting house door ensued, but it was too late to stop the exultant Dutchman as he sped away with his prize before a spanking breeze. On the next day the San Beninio was condemned at New Amsterdam and duly confiscated for violating the Dutch revenue law. On Tuesday Stuyvesant issued a proclamation declaring that New Netherland extended from Cape Henlopen to Cape Cod, and that duties would be rigorously levied by him on all vessels trading at ports on the Sound.
Meantime, three delinquent servants of the West India Company had fled to New Haven, where they were arrested and sent to jail. New Netherland and the United Colonies of New England had had in force since 1643 provisions for the mutual extradition of fugatives, and Governor Eaton had earlier promised to return these prisoners. But now that Stuyvesant had claimed sovereignty over New Haven, Eaton did not want to appear to be obeying the behest of an overlord, so he withheld the prisoners. Stuyvesant thereupon in retaliation proclaimed that "if any person, noble or ignoble, freeman or slave, debtor or creditor, yea, to the lowliest prisoner included, run away from the Colony of New Haven, or seek refuge in our limits, he shall remain free, under our protection, on taking the oath of allegiance." The good people of New Amsterdam feared this might make their pleasant little town a refuge for criminals, and the Company deemed it unwise to give needless offence to England. Stuyvesant was thus placed in an awkward position, from which he withdrew himself by a sudden stroke of genius. He contrived to convey to the fugitives in New Haven an assurance of full pardon and kind treatment if they would at once return to Manhattan. They were prompt to avail themselves of this promise from a man whose word could be trusted; and as soon as they had safely arrived, the Director was enabled with easy grace to annul his rash proclamation.

"The Mennonites had formed the "Frankfort Land Company" in Germany for the purpose of starting a colony in Pennsylvania. Daniel Francis Passtorius came to America with a group in 1683 and in 1698 another group arrived, settlinng in Germantown. John Jacob Gorgas and Wilhelm Rittenhouse came to America from Holland in 1688. Rittenhouse had been one of the first Mennonite ministers in the church in Germany and the first Mennonite bishop in America. Gorgas later became the preacher in the old Germantown church. Before 1702 Gorgas married Psyche or Sophia Rittenhouse, daughter of Klaus Rittenhouse, the paper maker. Klaus had married Wilhelmina DeWeese, sister of William DeWeese who owned and operated a second papermill as early as 1710 on the Wissahickon.
Gorgas had the following children: John, a tanner; Menno, a preacher in the Germantown church; Benjamin, who died in 1789; Susanna, of whom nothing is known and Jacob, born August 9, 1728 and dide March 31, 1798. He was a clockmaker, moved to Ephrata where he built the house at Vine and West Sunset Avenue, which was the former Menno Hess home (by which the author means it later became known as the Menno Hess home, closer to the time that he was writing), and in 1777 built the home at Oak and West Main Streets, which at one time was known as the Village Inn. Mary, another daughter of John Jacob was a Sister at the Cloister and Joseph who was also a tanner at Germantown. (There is an illustration on page 6 of the Gorgas Home built by Jacob Gorgas, Jr.)

The following by Josiah Gorgas written in 1840.
Thomas Atkinson was born about the year 1751 and Salome on the 7th day of January, 1755. They were married about the year 1772 at Reading in PA, where they continued to reside until after the War of the Revolution. She came into possession of her matrimony: one third of one thousand acres, of which her father possessed and this they farmed during their residence here. They had two children born to them here, "Betsey", afterward the wife of Jacob Hibschman, of Lancaster County, PA and Sophia, our mother. About the middle of the Revolution, on account of the uncertainty tenure of property, and the doubtful and offtimes gloomy forebodings of the great struggle they became anxious to sell their property, and accordingly dispose of it to General Mifflin, subsequently Gov. Mifflin, and received pay thereof in "Continental Money", part of which, about eleven hundred dollars, part of which Mr.Biddle received before his treacherous flight to the British. The money so received, as is well-known, became soon totally worthless. So that amount they received for their valuable lands were lost... as an instance of their loss, and the value of the money they received, Mrs. Atkinson paid three hundred dollars of this money for one barrel of sugar. This, the whole patrimoney was lost. At the time of the deeding of the land, Salome was yet a minor, and consequently her signatuer conveyed not title. During their residence at Reading, Mr. Atkinson served in the Army of the Revolution, and was at the Battle of Brandywine. He served in the company of Captain Heister, afterward Governor Heister of Pennsylvania. His farming team was (drafted) into the service of the needy government and used until after the Battle of Yorktown, and for all of which no compensation was ever offered or obtained. The team was totally ruined and lost.
Before the close of the War, Mr.Atkinson removed his family to a place called Silver Springs, near Mechancisburg, PA where they kept a public hotel. There they lived for four years and another child, Sarah, afterward Mrs. Albright, was born to them. From this place they removed to a farm on the Juniata, on the state road from Carlisle to Sunbury, at the mouth of Racoon Creek. Here they lived for four or five years and had two more children, Thomas and Matthew. On account of the dangerously exposed condition of the country which was then the frontier and far west, they disposed of this property to Mathew Atkinson and removed to Maryland and lived at Thomas Creek Valley, about 20 miles from Littletown. Here Mr. Atkinson followed his trade of mason, and was soon engaged in erecting extention buildings for Major Shields, Mr. Blair and others. They lived there four years and removed to Baltimore. Here Mr. Atkinson still followed his trade. His first employment was upon a house for a Mr. Martin, an attorney, soon the faimly removed to the county seat of Mr. Lux about a mile from Baltimore City. About this time he undertook the task of placing pillars of stone under the courthouse in the city and excavating a passageway for the public steet under it. He here had a severe spell of fever which confined him for three months. Mrs. Lux was a distant relative of Mrs. Atkinson and was very helpful during the sickness of Mr. Atkinson. After the recovery of Mr. Atkinson he constructed for and built the jail and market house at Alexandria, VA. Shortly after this he sent for his family and had them conveyed to Alexandria by water, and during the passage their barge ran onto a sand bar and was delayed three days, when they were taken off by another vessel, the passage occupying five days. At Alexandria, they lived five years. Afterward, they lived about four miles from Alexandria. Here they had the Lees for neighbors, Charles and Henry, and was employed by them. Penelope and Susan (afterward Mrs. Firemole) were born at this place. Removing four miles further into the country, Mr. Atkinson rented a farm of several hundred acres from Doctor Hawkins, but did not make a sucess of farming. From here they removed to Loudon County, VA about 20 miles from Alexandria. Here his health failed him much and he was obliged to carry on his business with hired help. This was about the year 1793. At this time hre had a mill under contract for Mr. Broadwater. He proposed to Mrs. Atkinson that she should take five of the children and return to PA, leaving him the remaining two and proceed to settle somewhere in PA. He was to follow with the other two children as soon as his contract was finished. She made her way on horseback with her five children to Ephrata in Lancaster County. He was to follow in six weeks. After she waited the six weeks she again mounted her horse and retraced her steps to Virginia where she had left him. She found all well, but the contract had not yet been finished and he could not return with her. So, another horse was purchased for her and the remaining two children mounted on it and she resumed her way home with the promise from her husband that he would join her in three weeks. Three weeks lapsed and another... and he came not. In about six weeks, a letter came from an old neighbor (Mr. Bird) bearing to them the melancholy news of his death. Mrs. Atkinson joined the Society of Brethren at Ephrata and having the care of her seven children, had to used ever known means of industry and economy to support herself and her family. Her two sons, Thomas and Matthew, were put out to become printers. The two eldest daughters, Betsey and Sophie, were placed with relatives. After spending the winter with an Aunt at Ephrata, Mrs. Atkinson removed to Reamstown in Lancaster County, and engaged in teaching a school, for which avocation she seems to have been qualified by the good education her father had given her.

Because of the indifference of the Mennonites to preserve records, information about the Germantown Mennonite Church in its early years is scant. However, a publication of the Penna. German Society contains a list of the members of the Germantown Mennonite Church in 1708 which includes the name of John Gorgas Sr.; and the most accurate account of the Mennonite activity, by John C. Wenger accepts the early tradition that John Gorgas was a minister of the Germantown congregation. Mennonites chose their ministers from among their membership and did not require theological training on their part. A log church for the Mennonites was built sometime between 1703 and 1708 on ground given for that purpose by Arnold van Vossen. John Gorgas is listed as a member of the Church. There was a conference of Mennonite ministers in 1725 attended by at least sixteen preachers, this having been the first such conference in America.. The preachers who signed for Germantown were John Gorgas, John Conerads and Nicholas Rittenhouse.
Adherents of the Church of the Brethern (Dunkers) first came to Germantown in 1719 and after they established a congregation, several members of the Gorgas families of that time held membership in this congregation. Some of them went to Ephrata, Lancaster County, in 1739 and became members of the Seventh-Day Monastic Community there, under Conrad Reissel.
John Gorgas Sr., born in Holland, was one of a group of immigrants from non-British lands who were naturalized by an Act of the Penna. Assembly on September 29, 1709.
Francis Daniel Pastorius, the founder of Germantown, arranged through James Logan the passage of this Bill, which specified it was for the purpose of enabling Germans and others to own land. Among the Germantowners naturalized by this Act were Francis Daniel Pastorius, heading the list with the name of John Gorgas Sr. soon after.
John Gorgas married Psyche Rittenhouse. There is apparently no record of his burial, either at the Upper Germantown Burying Ground, where he contributed to the cost of erecting the Wall in 1724, or at the Mennonite Church Yard. His will dated June 1, 1741, Probated June 22, 1741 leaves his estate to his wife and children. The name of John Gorgas' wife, Psyche, seems to have been too much for Christian Lehman, the scrivener (clerk) who prepared John's will. He probably never heard of such a name and so he simplified it by making it Sophia.
John Gorgas Sr.'s occupation was paper making. His father-in-law, William Rittenhouse, in the year 1690 built and operated the first paper mill in America, located on the Wissahickon Creek near Lincoln Drive. William Dewees, brother-in-law of Nicholas Rittenhouse, built and operated the second paper mill established in the Colonies. This second mill was probably built about 1708 and in 1713 the mill was purchased from William Dewees by Nicholas Rittenhouse, John Gorgas Sr. and others. The property comprised 100 acres and was situated about 500 feet east of where the Wissahickon crosses City Line. The Gorgas family owned in part or entire at different times more than six mills on the Wissahickon and its tributaries. In 1728, John Gorgas Sr. started to manufacture a paper resembling asses shin, from a species of rotten-stone, probably an asbestos product. There was a great demand for this sort of heavy, tough paper for documents, book-binding, etc. He also built and operated a fulling mill on the southwest side of Cresheim Road, near where the McCallum Street Bridge now spans Cresheim Creek for the manufacture of heavy cloth and carpet. In 1725 P.C. Zimmerman sold 30 acres and a dwelling on Cresheim Creek to John Gorgas Sr., skin-dresser (tanner). An inventory of John Gorgas Sr.'s estate includes 37 dressed buck skins and several deer skins. It is estimated, by Deeds and Records, that the land owned by John Gorgas Sr. extended "from Hermitage Street to Gates Street and from Ridge Avenue to the Wissahickon Creek".
In 1729 William Dewees, by Public Petition, states "the inhabitants of German-Township hath by voluntary subscription built a bridge over Whssahickon Creek near unto the Dewees Mills for the convince and accommodation of travelers". Among the subscribers was John Gorgas Sr.

Petition of Gorgas Children
Children of the late John Gorgas Jr. his will sets forth that his real estate is to be equally divided among his children. the petitioners are upward of the age of 14 and they ask they be permitted to choose gardians. The court granted the request and they choose Benjamin Gorgas. He was appointed.
George, Joseph and Susannah, children of John Gorgas under the age of 14, by their brother Benjamin, prayed the court for appointment of a guardian. The court appointed John Hesser, Innholder.
Children of John Gorgas Jr. and Rachel Hesser:
John Gorgas III, a miller, in 1810 built the old Gorgas homestead on the east side of Ridge Avenue just above Gates Street, now occupied by the Roxborough Country Club.
Benjamin, died November 5, 1807, married Ann Maria Lochi

Petition of Sarah, George, Joseph and Susanna Gorgas by their guardian George Gorgas, sets forth that John Gorgas Jr., their father, died some time since, leaving the petitioners under age at the time of his death. John Hesser was appointed guardian. He has since died. Petitioners at the time of Hesser's death were of full age, except Joseph and Susanna, for whom George Gorgas has been appointed guardian. Joseph has since then arrived a full age. Susanna is the only child still a minor. The account of Hesser as guardian has never been settled according to law. The court is therefore requested to issue a citation for his executors, George Hesser and George Summer, to appear for settlement. The court so ordered.
Several deeds are on record for successive transfers of the real estate owned by John Gorgas Sr. a deed of recent times gives a review of all preceding transactions. It is in Deed Book T.G. 327, page 549, and is dated October 23, 1893. An abstract follows:
Richard H. Downing and Tellwood Potts, executors of the estate of Susan Gorgas, late of Roxborough, to Susanna Gorgas, of West Chester, Pa.
John Bald and wife, on August 22, 1746, (Deed Book I 12, page 312) sold two tracts of land in Roxborough Township to John Gorgas, one of 43-1/2 acres, with a stone message; the second contiguous, 52 acres, 20 perches. John Gorgas was described as a skin dresser. John Gorgas, son of the first John Gorgas, by the name John Gorgas Sr., * and his wife Rachel, on the 9th of _____, 1773, transferred 63 acres, 70 perches, part of the two tracts named, to John Gorgas Jr., a son of the said John Gorgas Sr., miller of Cresheim.
(* In this passage, John Gorgas is actually John Gorgas Sr. John Gorgas Sr. is actually John Gorgas, Jr. and John Gorgas Jr. is actually John Gorgas III. )
John Gorgas Sr. also bought on May 2, 1777 an adjacent tract of 1 acre and 21 perches from Michael Bergendollar. John Gorgas Sr. at his death owned part of the first named two tracts. By his will he devised his land to his five sons and four of his daughters. Ownership descended to Samuel Gorgas, then to his children, a son, Matthias, who received one-fifth, he dying January 3, 1885.
There is a Gorgas Street in Germantown and Gorgas Lane in Roxborough, also Gorgas Park adjoining the Roxborough High School, a gift from the late Susan Gorgas. Hermitage Street is at #6307 Ridge Avenue, Gates Street #6429 and Gorgas Lane at #6605 Ridge Avenue. On the southeast corner of 6900 Germantown Avenue and Gorgas Street stands another of the old Gorgas homesteads, the door jamb contains bullet marks of the Revolutionary times while a tree in the rear was pierced by a cannon ball. The stump of an ancient tree stands inside the fence, the date 1707 marks the date of its planting. Henry Rittenhouse, son of Nicholas Rittenhouse, owned the house at one time. On the north side of Gorgas Street, at the end of the property is an old boundary stone placed there by Benjamin Gorgas, son of John Gorgas Sr.. It is marked: B.G.W.H. 1769.

The Rittenhouse Family of Germantown
William Rittenhouse Born: ca. 1644
Died: 1708
Married:
Children: Nicholas Rittenhouse
Gerhard Rittenhouse
Elizabeth Rittenhouse
William Rittenhouse, a Mennonite, born 1644, was the first of this family to emigrate to America, he was born near Mulheim, Germany.
His mother's name was Maria Hagerhoffs and his father was George Rittenhouse, whose father was also George Rittenhouse, born 1595 the son of Conradi Rittenhouse, born September 25, 1560 at Brunswick, Germany.
William Rittenhouse became a citizen of Amsterdam Holland in 1678. In the year 1688, William Rittenhouse arrived in New York and moved to the Germantown District soon afterward. With him were his daughter, Elizabeth, and two sons, Nicholas and Gerhard.
William's forefathers had long carried on the business of paper making at Arnheim, Germany, and in 1690 William purchased 20 acres of land from Samuel Carpenter in Roxborough, on which he built a paper mill on Monoshone Creek, also known as Papermill Run, a branch of the Wissahickon Creek. This was the first paper mill in America.
The paper made at this mill was used by William Bradford the earliest printer in the Middle Colonies.
In 1699 a paper written by William Penn mentions the fine quality papers made by William and his son, Nicholas Rittenhouse. The mill was taken down by the Park Commission in 1891.
When the original settlers of Germantown cast lots in the cave on the Delaware River, of Francis Daniel Pastorius, the founder of Germantown, William Rittenhouse drew Lot #19 on the east side of Germantown Avenue where the Mennonite Meeting House now stands with adjoining grave yard.
William Rittenhouse died in 1708, age 64 and was buried in this grave yard, 6100 Germantown Avenue, above Herman Street. A stone is erected to his memory.
A considerable number of Mennonites emigrated to the German district around 1690. Their earliest meetings for worship were held at the home of Jacob Issac van Bebber. William Rittenhouse was chosen their first Minister. In 1701 the Mennonite Bishops of Altona and Hamberg, Germany authorized the Elders of the Germantown District to install a Bishop, and William Rittenhouse was chosen the first Mennonite Bishop in America.
Gerhard, born in 1674, in Germany, died 1742. He married Miss Ravacomb and had issue: William born 1695 and Peter, born 1696 and died 1748. He was a miller by trade. The will of Gerhard was dated February 19, 1742 and the Executors were Charles and Justice Revacomb. Gerhard lived on Cresheim Creek and there had a grist mill.
Elizabeth married Howard Papeu, a Mennonite in 1690. Howard Papeu was a signer of the Application for a Charter for Germantown, which was granted in May 31, 1691. He was chosen a member of the Town Council, with power to hold Court, impose fines and make ordinances. He was also appointed Recorder of Germantown. The will of Howard Papeu dated January 30, 1708 was proved February 19, 1708.
Nicholas Rittenhouse Born: June 15, 1666, Germany
Died: 1734, age 68.
Married: Wilhelmina Dewees
Children: William
Henry
Matthias
Psyche (Seikie, Sophia)
Mary
Catherine
Susanna
His father William died intestate (no will) and the paper mill and the 20 acres of land descended to Nicholas, and he continued in the paper making business after his father's death. He was born June 15, 1666, married Wilhelmina Dewees and died in 1734. Nicholas succeeded his father as Minister of the Mennonite Church and served until his death. The children of Nicholas were born near the location of the first paper mill. His will left one shilling to his daughter Seikie (Psyche) "she having received her portion in my lifetime". The will of Wilhelmina, wife of Nicholas, dated March 6, 1737 left her daughter Seyntiz (Psyche) "the under feather bed, a pillow and a brass kettle, for which she pays six florin".
Children of Nicholas and Wilhelmina Rittenhouse
William was born 1691 in Roxborough. He inherited the second paper mill from his father.
Henry, born April 1, 1700, married August 27, 1720 to Susanna Wool.
Matthias, born 1702, married Elizabeth Williams in 1727. She was the daughter of Evan and Dorothy Williams, Quakers, of Wales, England. Matthias was the father of David Rittenhouse, his will is recorded. Children of Matthias and Elizabeth Rittenhouse: Margaret born 1728, married Edward Morgan, Benjamin, a clock maker and astronomical maker. He was also Associate Judge of Montgomery County, PA., David, born April 8, 1732 in Roxborough near the location of the first paper mill. The house where he was born, built in 1707 is still standing. On February 20, 1766 he married Eleanor Coulston, who died December 20, 1770. He married second on December 15, 1772 to Hannah Jacobs. David died June 26, 1796, age 64. In 1770 he moved to the northwest corner of Seventh and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, PA. When David was quite young his father supplied him with funds to purchase the tools necessary for clock making which for a time he adopted as his profession. By his later accomplishments he rose to be the most celebrated Astronomer and prominent philosopher of Colonial times, which is amply evidenced by the honors he received. David Rittenhouse, L.L.D. was: Professor of Astronomy, University of Penna., Trustee and Vice Provost, University of Penna., President of American Philosophical Society, Fellow Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, Mass., Received Degree, Master of Arts, College of New Jersey, Received Degree, Master of Arts, William and Mary College, Received Degree, Doctor of Laws, College of New Jersey, Treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania, Director of the United States Mint, Philadelphia, Member of Royal Society, London, England, which was probably his most prized honor. Rittenhouse Square, 18th and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia is named for him.
Mary married John Johnson.
Catherine married Jacob Engel.
Susanna born 1698, died December 13, 1769, married Henry Heilig.
Origin of the Mennonite Religious Society
Menno Simons, the great Reformer, started the Mennonite Religious Society. He was reared a Catholic, appointed a Chaplain, and preached for some years. He renounced the Catholic faith January 12, 1536. He was born at Witmarsum, Bavaria in 1492 and died in 1559. The Mennonite principles are in many respects similar to those of the Society of Friends.
With the marriage of Psyche Rittenhouse to John Gorgas Sr, the line continues under the title of
The Gorgas Family of Germantown
334. We are indeed closely related to David Rittenhous ( as you can see be going to RootsWeb and searching for him and then selecting 1732 for a birthdate. His father was Mathias R b 1702 d 1792, m Elizabeth Williams. Mathias is a son Of Nicholas b Jun 15 1666; who is in turn the son of Wilhelm b1644 in Monschau, Muhlheim, Westfalia (Prussia) d Feb 18 1708, mar Geertruid Kerstn Pieters b 1644 in Erbeek, Holland, d 1708 in Germantown.

337. The Children and Grandchildren of Paulus Leendertsen van der Grift
Paulus Leendertsen and Jannetie Gerrits had five children baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam. Jacob Leendertsen and his wife were witnesses at four of these baptisms.
1. Grietie (Margrietie), bapt. 2 May 1649
2. Gerrit, bapt. 30 Apr 1651
3. Marritie (Maria), bapt. 27 Apr 1653
4. Johannes, bapt. 27 May 1655. This child apparently died young.
5. Johannes, bapt. 19 Jun 1658.
When Paulus and Janneken returned to Holland in 1671, their daughter Grietie was 22, Marritie was 18, son Gerrit was 20, and Johannes was 13. The two daughters married around 1671 and both remained in New York. If the sons went back to Holland with their parents, they evidently later returned to New York, as Gerrit was present as a witness at the baptism of Grietie's daughter Margariet on 6 Oct 1681, and Johannes was a witness at the baptism of Grietie's daughter Cornelia on 24 Jun 1685.
Grietie Paulus van der Grist and her husband Jacob Mauritszen (Sluyswachter) had seven children baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York: Maurits, 9 Jan 1678; Paulus, 25 Oct 1679; Margariet, 6 Oct 1681; Margareta, 20 Jun 1683; Cornelia 24 Jun 1685; Jacobus, 18 Mar 1688; and Gerardus, 7 Feb 1692.
Marritie Paulus van der Grift and her husband Gerrit van Tricht had five children baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York: Jannetie, 30 May 1677; Lysbeth, 25 Aug 1680; a baby baptized 1 Aug 1683; Margarita, 18 Mar 1688; and Maria, 4 Feb 1691.

339. The Daniel Walton that I have information on is a "Byberry Walton". He and his three brothers came to America in 1683 and along with others founded Byberry Friends Meeting in near Street Road and the PA Turnpike. From Norman Walton Swayne's research and subsequent book "Byberry Waltons" and the followup book by Doug Whitehead, "Byberry Waltons II" they give Daniel as being born about 1660, baptized Sep. 19, 1662 at Oxhill Parish Warwickshire England. He died 2/20/1719. He married Mary Lamb probably in August 1688.
Also in Byberry Waltons are listed the children of Daniel and Mary including Joshua who married Catherine Albertson.
Would you like further information on this Walton line? We have an annual reunion the second Saturday in August at the Byberry Friends Meetinghouse with about 100 decendants of the four Byberry Walton brothers in attendance.
It was nice to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Cousin Cyndy

341. Van Sandts
From: "Howards" <howards@gis.net>
To: "Patricia Woodruff" <patwoodruff@mac.com>
Patty: you ask five questions about van Sandts (Vansandt, van Zant, Sand). I did not gather much on these unless they were on direct lines, but as I recall Davis, in his history of Bucks County, made an effort to sort the van Sandts. Also, the Tenn Tree gives some information. Three of them are brothers, all sons of Garret Stoffelse van Sandt and Lysbeth Gerrits.
The oldest is Johannes van Sandt b abt 1680, married 17 Dec 1702 to Leah Groesbeck b 11 Feb 1680 (#53 on Tenn tree)
Then comes Albertus or Albert b abt 1683 d abt 1753; marr. 8 Nov 1704 Rebecca V b 15 Dec 1683 (#59 on Tenn Tree)
Then Jacobus van Sandt b 1684 marr. 17 Nov 1707 Rebecca V b 26 Jul 1685 (#65 on Tenn Tree)
Abraham (By the River) V b abt 1691 (#60) marr. 17 Oct 1716 Maritje Van Zant b abt 1686 d bef Mar 3 !750. (8 children)
I suspect that Maritje is a sister of the three brothers. As I recall Davis, the van Sandts were there earlier than the Vandegrifts. On the Tenn Tree it is mentioned that a gravestone calls Albert's wife Jane, and they speculate that he may have had a second wife.

Another pressing need in the new township was paper. In 1690, William Rittenhouse, a German papermaker and Mennonite minister, built the first paper mill in America on the Monoshone Creek. Until c. 1710, the mill provided all the American-made paper used by Philadelphia and New York printers. It made about 1,000 sheets of paper every day, which was a very small percentage of what the colonies needed (the rest had to be imported.) Known as Historic Rittenhouse Town, the National Historic Landmark site in Fairmount Park is open to the public for papermaking and other programs. The Rittenhouse homestead is shown here. [photo page 18]
Rittenhouse's mills were built on the creek close to the homestead. Rags from the linen trade of Germantown were brought to the mill along what would become Rittenhouse Street. A poem of 1692 noted that "From linen rags good paper doth derive/ The first trade keeps the second trade alive." Shown is the third Rittenhouse mill in 1890. [photo]
By the mid-1800's, other paper mills, as well as sawmills and cloth processing plants, used waterpower. Rittenhouse Town became a thriving industrial village of more than 40 structures, including a school, firehouse, Baptist church, and workers' houses. This view looks north to Blue Bell Hill. [photo page 19]
The Rittenhouse homestead was the birthplace of David Rittenhouse in 1732. He was a self-taught astronomer, clockmaker, scholarly writer, second president of the American Philosophical Society, state treasurer, and director of the U.S. Mint. The family moved to a farm in Montgomery County when he was young. Before the Revolutionary War, he surveyed the boundries of Pennsylvania and during the war, he was an engineer. [photo of painting of David Rittenhouse]
The last surviving Rittenhouse Town industry was McKinney's quarry in the hill at the foot of what is now Alden Park Apartments. Daniel McKinney leased the hill in 1837 and worked the quarry, which specialized in high quality curbstones. Much of Philadelphia and Norristown was curbed from this quarry. The quarry was open until 1910. [photo]
The Lower Burial Ground (the Hood Cemetery) is at Germantown Avenue and Logan Street. In 1692, one-half acre was deeded to the borough for a burial place, which was later expanded to two acres. The British officers General Agnew and Colonel Bird were buried here during the Revolutionary War but their remains were secretly moved later. The cemetery name was changed c. 1850 after William Hood paid for a wall and a marble entrance gate. More than 1,000 people are buried here, including 41 soldiers from the Revolutionary War. [photo]

Hello,
I read your post on the Ancestry message board regarding the name Schwegel.
There is one Schwegel in my family tree. One of my great-great-great-
grandmothers was Margaretha Schwegel, born about 1779 at Raden, Slovenija. She was 18 when she married Jurij Movrin(Georg Maurin) in 1797. He was from Mitterradenze, Slovenija. Both villages were a part of Stari Trg ob Kolpi parish in Slovenija.
Margaretha and Georg had four known children. Her last child , Josef, was born in 1819 and Georg married again in 1821, so Margaretha must have died somewhere between 1819 and 1821.
Don't know if there is any connection there but thought I would share.
Sincerely, Peg Schafer
