It is three-tenths of a mile south of Weisel postoffice and four-tenths of a mile south of the point where the Old Beth- lehem road crosses the Tohickon creek. The church stands on the east side fronting on the Old Bethlehem road, which is the dividing line between Bedminster and Rockhill town- ships. About 1745 a log church was erected on the Rock- hill township side of the road, but the deed for the land, 1 acre 56 perches, did not pass until September 1, 1753. In 1766 a stone church was built on that property, and it was not until 1838 that a church was erected on the Bedminster * This church is built of native “new red sandstone,” its size is 50 feet by 75 feet on the outside. It is unique in having two en- trance doors in front, one belonging to each denomination, the one farthest south is inscribed above the door “Tohickon Peace Evan- gelical Lutheran Congregation,” and over the north door “Tohickon Saint Peter’s Reformed Congregation.” All honor to the people of the Tohickon Union Church and to the many other Lutheran and Reformed denominations throughout Pennsylvania, who have worshipped together in the same churches in Christian unity and Christian love for nearly two centuries. iv The Pennsylvania-German Society. side of the road, where the present church stands. The old burying-ground is in the church-yard back of the church, but extending for some distance both north and south thereof, the northern part extends out the public road. This old cemetery appears to be reasonably well cared for and is enclosed by a substantial stone wall. As is usual in old cemeteries, many of the earliest burials are not marked, while others are marked only with sandstone markers without inscriptions of any kind. The new ceme- tery (which is incorporated) lies on the west side of the road in Rockhill township, immediately across from the church and facing its front entrance. But if all old graves were marked, and all old church records and documents preserved, there would be but very little research work left for the church historian. This is equally true of all research work, which affords many people a great deal of pleasure. Many of our graveyards are sadly neglected, with markers falling into decay, and many of the inscrip- tions slowly but surely becoming illegible. Much work is being done however by members of our local historical societies and others in copying tombstone-inscriptions in order to preserve them, but much still remains to be done. Fortunately the records of the Tohickon Reformed con- gregation begun in 1745, and therefore the earliest in Bucks county, and the Lutheran records begun in 1750, are at hand, and we are able to present the translations thereof in this volume. As will be seen the Lutheran records are not as full and complete as those of the Reformed congre- gation; they consist mostly of births and baptisms, with but four communion lists, viz—for the years 1826-28-30 and 34. There are no records of either marriages or deaths; if such records were kept, as would seem likely, they must have been recorded in some other book which has not been discovered, or the pastors may have kept private records, which did not become the property of the church. Thanks Preface v are due to Rev. C. R. Fetter pastor of the Lutheran congre- gation and to Rev. Samuel E. Moyer pastor of the Re- formed congregation for the generous aid they have given to Dr. Hinke in placing their church books and documents at his disposal. The good people of the Reformed church are to be con- gratulated in knowing that Dr. Hinke, although now a member of the Presbyterian church, is willing to give his time and talents to the study and writing of their church history, but they can never know or appreciate the great amount of labor that such intelligent research requires. With him it has been truly a labor of love. In connection with this work he has traced the history of many ministers back into Germany and Switzerland, thus getting reliable information concerning their early life and antecedents, and also particularly about their education before coming to America, and in general he has added much entirely new material to the history of the Reformed church and its min- isters. In this connection I want to invite special attention to his exhaustive “History of Goshenhoppen Reformed Charge,” published by this society in Volumes 27 and 28 of its proceedings; also to his translation of the Minutes of Coetus of the Reformed Church, discovered in the archives of the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church at the Hague in Holland, which has filled a gap in the history of the Reformed church.7 I was told by a former librarian of the Pennsylvania His- torical Society, that a large part of its patrons was made up of those who were studying their family genealogies. I mentioned this fact to one of our neighboring librar- ians, who said that that was true not only of historical society libraries, but of public libraries as well. This inter- + See “Minutes and Letters of the Coetus of the German Reformed Congregations of Pennsylvania, 1747-1792.” Reformed Church Pub- lication Board, Philadelphia, 1903. vi The Pennsylvania-German Society. est is due primarily to love of family, but often from a de- sire for membership in some patriotic society, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution, or the Pennsylvania German Society, to become eligible for which their forebears must have arrived in this country prior to 1800. These church records are a great storehouse of information for genealogists, and it is hoped that the publication of other records will be made, not only of the Reformed and Lutheran churches, but of all other denominations as well. Much difficulty has been experienced in getting posses- sion of some of the old Reformed church records, in fact some have become lost or mislaid, while at least three of them are known to have been destroyed by fire, viz—Done- gal Reformed in Lancaster county; Lynn at New Tripoli and Weisenberg both in Lehigh county. Among other Reformed records that cannot be located are Brownbacks in Chester county; White Oak in Lancaster county (found by Rev. D. C. Tobias in 1874, but now again lost) and Kreutz Creek church in York county. In an address before the Historical Society of the Re- formed Church at Lancaster, in 1920, (See Reformed Church Review, Vol. XXIV, page 257), Dr. Hinke deplored the loss of the Springfield, Bucks county and the Lower Saucon, Northampton county records, these we are happy to state, have both since been found and both have been translated by Dr. Hinke; several typewritten copies have been made, thus preserving and protecting their contents against loss. It is hoped that both of these interesting and valuable records can be published at an early day. The changing of church officers often leads to the loss of records, and moreover some people are very indifferent about preserving old books and documents. This proceed- ure is all wrong, and very selfish, and it is hoped that the officers of the churches, of whatever denominations, will Preface vii in time see the wisdom of depositing these valuable books in central places where they can be preserved in fire-proof vaults, and become accessible to all who may want to con- sult them. I have often thought too, when looking over some of the imperfectly kept church records of the present day, that it would be a wise movement for the synods to employ someone, specially skilled in keeping such records, to visit the congregations and instruct the pastors or sec- retaries in the art of keeping them correctly, for they too will become of great historic value as the years go by. For the users of the Tohickon church records it may be helpful to state, that the translator has adopted the Eng- lish forms of all Christian names, except when they were rare German names, not in use in English, such as Dietrich, Balthaser, Ludwig or Cunigunda. An exclamation mark after a name means that it is unintelligible to the editor, but is reproduced exactly as it stands in the original. In the case of the surnames or family names, no attempt has been made to substitute forms in use at present, except in a few cases, where obvious scribal errors were corrected, the sur- names are reproduced exactly as found in the original, in- cluding all the scribal variations. The index will help to indicate these variations. While these Tohickon church records are published by the Pennsylvania German Society, their publication was first suggested by Calvin I. Kephart, Esq., of Washington, D. C., whose forebears worshipped in this church, many of whom lie buried in the churchyard. He and some of his relatives, all tracing to the same fountain-heads, have con- tributed liberally and helped to make their publication pos- sible. It is therefore due to these loyal friends of old To- hickon church, that we desire to make this slight recogni- tion of their generosity.

HE first Reformed people to appear in Bucks county! were the Dutch Reformed. They settled ea in the southern part of the county, along the Nes- fete baminy creek, near the present village of Church- ville, where they organized a Dutch Reformed congregation as early as 1710. The pastors of this congregation preached occasionally to their German Reformed brethren in Phila- delphia county, as, for example, Paulus Van Vlecq at Skip- pack and Whitemarsh during the years 1710-1713. The German Reformed settlers in Bucks county followed the Dutch a decade or two later, for the first traces of a considerable number of German Reformed people, in what was then Bucks county, do not appear until the year 1734. In that year the Rev. John Philip Boehm wrote a letter to Holland, in which he plead for four ministers for Pennsyl- vania. The fourth minister, he wrote, “would greatly be needed at Goshenhoppen, about 36 miles from Philadelphia. He might conduct services there every three weeks, and i It must be remembered that Bucks county extended originally north- ward to the Kittatiny mountains or “as far as the land might be pur- chased from the Indians”. In fact it comprised all territory in Pennsyl- vania north of Philadelphia county. In 1752 Northampton county was erected out of Bucks and until 1812 that county included all territory north of the present boundaries of Bucks county. Lehigh county was erected in 1812 out of part of Northampton. 1 2 The Pennsylvania-German Society. use the rest of the time to feed the poor sheep, at end of the wilderness, in the above-mentioned Saucon, Macungie, Maxatawny and Great Swamp”.? Saucon was then at the end of the wilderness. But already Reformed people from this distant region had been to see Boehm at Whitpain and had asked for his pastoral services. There is a baptism by Boehm at Egypt on record for September 23, 1734. Saucon and Egypt appear again in 1736, when the boy preacher, John Henry Goetschy, entered the Goshenhoppen region. On his circuit, as outlined on the title page of the New Goshenhoppen record, Saucon and Egypt (both then in Bucks county) are mentioned among his preaching sta- tions. Goetschy probably supplied these outlying districts with occasional preaching during the years 1736-1739. With the latter year his ministry in Pennsylvania came to an end. His preaching points in the then Bucks county in- cluded at least Egypt, Great Swamp, Macungie and Sau- con. Goetschy was followed by Peter Henry Dorsius, pas- tor at Neshaminy from 1737-1748, who, although he preached at Neshaminy to the Dutch Reformed people, was a German by birth and visited the German congregations repeatedly. A visit to Saucon by Dorsius is on record for the year 1740. But the full tide of German immigration into the upper parts of Bucks county did not set in till about the year 1740. Beginning with that year and all through the fol- lowing decade numerous new congregations appear, such as Heidelberg in what is now Lehigh county and Salis- bury in the same region. At the latter place John William Straub took out a deed for the church land in 1741. A few years later, in 1746, Michael Schlatter found him at Indian Creek. About the same time the first traces of church life mani- fest themselves at three other places, namely at Springfield, 2 See Life and Letters of Boehm, p. 252f. Tohickon Reformed Church, 3 Tohickon and the Forks of the Delaware. The first pas- tor of these churches was John Conrad Wirtz, who deserves a great deal more credit for his pastoral activity than he has thus far received from Reformed historians. The history of these congregations has often been written in county histories and church papers, but, if must be con- fessed, with a remarkable disregard to historical facts and a surprising neglect of the church records. It has been stated by nearly all writers, even former pas- tors, that the deed for the Tohickon church land was given on September 1, 1743, by Blasius Boyer to the trustees of the Calvanist church in Rockhill township, for fifteen shill- ings. But, as there is no such deed in existence and as Blasius Boyer did not own the land in question till 1747, and furthermore all the facts stated in connection with this deed apply to the actual deed still on record, given on Sep- tember 1, 1753, we may dismiss this earlier deed as an his- torical fiction. The earliest date in connection with the Tohickon con- gregation occurs in the old Reformed church record, whose careful and minute study has been sadly neglected in the past, to the detriment of its history. I: THE MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN CONRAD WIRTZ June 1745 to July 1748. One of the later pastors of the Tohickon congregation, the Rev. John Egidius Hecker, entered into the record twenty-one baptisms, to which he prefixed the following heading: “The following children were baptized by Dominie Con- rad Wiirze.” These baptisms extend from June 16, 1745, to July 17, 1748. Hence we may conclude, with some de- gree of probability, that the ministry of John Conrad Wirtz 4 The Pennsylvania-German Soctety. extended from about June 1745 to about July 1748. More- over, there is every reason to think that he was the first pastor of the congregation and as such its founder. John Conrad Wirtz (originally spelled Wirtz by him, but later changed to Wirtz) was born at Zurich, Switzer- land, on November 30, 1706. He was the son of Rev. John Conrad Wirtz, Sr.2 The elder Wirtz was born May 5, 1661. He was pastor at Kloten and later at Neukirchen. In 1711 he became administrator of the charitable foundation of the Great Minster, the chief church at Zurich, but lost this po- sition in 1728, because of mismanagement. He died May 4, 1730. He was married November 3, 1685, to Magdalena Klingler. This union was blessed with fourteen children, eight of whom died in infancy. They were as follows: 1—Anna Ursula, b. Dec. 28, 1686; died 1691 2 — Magdalena, b. Nov. 27, 1688; died 1731 Aisi ata twins, b. 1690; died young 4 — Conrad, Fe SOntTad, b. May 24, 1691; died 1691 O=- Conrad, b.

Mch. 9, 1709; died 1709 3 According to a sketch of the Wurts family, entitled ‘‘The Ancestry of Theodore F. Wurts and his wife Anna Vanuxen", by John S. Wurts, of Philadelphia, which the author kindly placed at the disposal of the writer, John Conrad Wirtz was not only the son of a minister, but he was descended from a line of three ministerial ancestors, all of whom bore the name John Conrad. His great-grandfather, 1606-1667, entered the ministry 1628; his grandfather, 1631-1682, in 1654; and his father, 1661-1730, in 1682. A more elaborate sketch of the Wirtz (Wurtz) family is found in Chambers, Early Germans of New Jersey, (1895) pp. 561-567, & 596. Tohickon Reformed Church. 5 This list shows that five of their sons had been named Conrad, four of whom died in infancy. The thirteenth child was Conrad or John Conrad, Jr., the subject of this sketch. He no doubt received his training in the Latin school at Zurich, where Henry Goetschy, who later became his brother-in-law, was educated. When he reached hi$ early manhood he went to Holland, where he entered the service of the Dutch navy, as a cadet. He was perhaps induced to make this choice by the fact that the husband of a sister was in the Dutch service, being stationed at The Hague. Soon, however, he gave up his military career and returned to Zurich where he began to practice law. He left Zurich in October 1734, with a large colony of emigrants.* One of his traveling companions, Ludwig Weber, who left the party in Holland and returned to Switzerland, has published a lively account of the diffi- culties which the emigrants had to face and overcome, as they traveled down the Rhine. Wirtz served as commis- sary of the expedition. When the party came to Neuwied, in the neighborhood of Coblenz, four couples, among whom were John Conrad Wirtz and Anna Goetschy, the daughter of the Rev. Maurice Goetschy, the leader of the colony, were married. A recent investigation of the church records at Neuwied shows that the event took place on October 28, 1734.° 4 For a more extensive account of this emigration see the writer’s History of the Goshenhoppen Charge, Lancaster 1920, pp. 96-110, in Vol. XXVII of the Pennsylvania German Society’s proceedings. 5 The entry in the records at Neuwied is as follows: “On the 28th of October 1734, the following persons, members of a Swiss colony, coming from Zurich and traveling to Carolina in America, were joined in mar- riage here in our church: (1) Johann Conrad Wirtz, leader of the above-mentioned colony, and son of the late Johann Conrad Wirtz, De- canus of the reverend college of canons, and archdeacon of the church of the Great Minster at Zurich and minister of the divine Word there, and his bethrothed, Miss Anna Goetschi, daughter of Maurice Goetschi, min- ister of the Word of God, pastor and head of the above-mentioned colony ; (2) John Conrad Giweiler, of Stein on the Rhine and Miss Regula Wein- mann, of Herrliberg, both of the Canton of Zurich; (3) Hans Jacob Rath- 6 - The Pennsylvania-German Society. After many difficulties and trying experiences the colony finally reached Philadelphia on May 29, 1735, by the ship “Mercury”, Captain William Wilson, from Rotterdam. “Conrad Wiirtz” was the first to sign the oath of allegiance in the courthouse at Philadelphia. Exhausted by the fa- tigues of the long and slow journey, the Rev. Maurice Goetschy died on the day of their landing in Philadelphia. Both his son, John Henry Goetschy and his son-in-law, John Conrad Wirtz, became preachers and ministered to the Reformed settlers in Pennsylvania. The early activity of Wirtz is described by the Rev. John Philip Boehm, who in his last report to Holland, in the year 1748, writes: “He was accepted at Old Goshenhoppen to teach school. But they soon got tired of him and sent him away. Afterwards the Men- nonites in Cannastocka accepted him for the same work, but he was dismissed by them just as quickly.’ Later we find Wirtz preaching to the Reformed people jn Lehigh and Bucks counties. From September 1742 to December 1743, he was preaching and baptizing at Egypt, Lehigh county, where he headed a series of nine baptisms in the church record with the statement: “The beginning was made in 1742. Baptized by me, John Conrad Wuertz, V.D.M. Helvetico-Tigurinus.””” In 1745, he appears at Saucon and Allemaengel. On August 29, 1745, the minutes of the Moravian Helpers’ Con- ference at Bethlehem, Pa., report: “The pastor at Saucon, who has had oil made for him- self, confesses that he would like to be a brother.” This is geb, of Walliselen and Barbara Haller of Walliselen, of the Canton of Zurich, (4) Hans Conrad Hiiff, of Walliselen and Catharine Issler, of Haller, of the canton of Zurich.” This extract was secured through the kind assistance of Prof, Dr. L. Lemme, of Heidelberg University. 6 See Life and Letters of Boehm, p. 447f. 7 See the Egypt Record, as printed in the Pennsylvania Archives, 6th series, Vol. VI, p. 7. Tohickon Reformed Church, 7 corroborated by the Lower Saucon church record, in which “Mr. Wurtz” heads the list of ministers of that congrega- tion, which was drawn up about 1792 by the Rev. John Mann, a later pastor. When Michael Schlatter came to Pennsylvania, Wirtz went to see him, October 14, 1746. About this interview Schlatter writes in his private diary :* “One of these days there came to me a certain man, named Wirtz, of Zurich, a son-in-law of the old Goetschi, who died in this country. He visited me with his wife in Philadelphia, to recommend him- self to me and to ask my counsel. He was very frank, confess- ing his fault of having presumed to act as a minister, without ordination, but he had done so only because of his need and poverty and at the solicitation of the farmers. But now, having heard my commission, he was perfectly willing to submit to my directions and instantly cease administering the holy sacraments, if I were willing and able to help him to obtain a meagre subsistence. Finally he asked humbly whether there were no possibility for him of being ordained to the ministry. Whereupon I answered him that I did not know him, nor had any positive information about his conduct, life and teaching and the disposition of the people toward him. Further- more, I told him, I would do nothing against my conscience, nor act to the detriment of the church of God. But next summer I would carefully investigate his case and then, if it seemed feasible, submit it to the Reverend Fathers and await their reply. With this he seemed to be well satisfied.” During the following summer Schlatter carried out his intention and visited Saucon on June 28-29, 1747. He came from Maxatawny, a distance of twenty-five miles. He de- scribes his visit in his diary :° “T left soon after the sermon, and went twenty-five miles farther to Sacony, a congregation which is served by a certain Mr. J. C. 8 Published by the writer in the Journal of the Presbyterian Historical Society, Vol. III, p. 120. In his Life of Schlatter (p. 137) Dr. Harbaugh gives October 15th as the day of this visit, but in the German text before the writer it is October 14th. It is given correctly in Harbaugh, Fathers, Vol. I, p. 388. The account of the interview, as given by Schlatter in the journal published by him in 1751, differs only in some minor details from that given above from his private journal. 9 Harbaugh, Schlatter’s Life and Travels, p. 162. 8 The Pennsylvania-German Society. Wirtz, to whom I have already referred. Here I preached on the 29th, and, when after the services I laid my instruction before them, I asked them, whether they would have Mr. Wirtz, who was also present, as their minister, in case he should be regularly qualified by the Reverend Christian Synod? The congregation was not en- tirely unanimous; some desired rather to have another regular min- ister, in order that full unity might be restored in the congregation.” On the same day Schlatter visited Springfield, nine miles from Lower Saucon, to which Wirtz ministered also, and where he found the same condition as at Lower Saucon. The Coetus minutes of 1747 (p. 37) state that: “In Saucon, Forks, Springfield, etc., the people are well satisfied with Conrad Wirtz, of Zurich, some few excepted. Poverty hurts the man much in his ministry, but because he means well and no one can speak evil of him, therefore the circumstances with regard to this person and said congregations shall be favorably reported to Holland.” This quotation adds another congregation to those men- tioned before, namely Forks, or Forks of the Delaware, now part of Easton, where an early Union church stood on the south side of the Lehigh river in Williams township, near where the South Easton water works are located." A fifth congregation of Wirtz is mentioned in the minutes of the Helpers’ Conference, already referred to. They state under date September 13, 1745: “Conrad Wirtz, a Re- formed preacher at Allemaengel, who has been against us, is now in favor of us.” The Tohickon records add Tohick- on also to the charge of Wirtz. Hence his field consisted of at least six congregations. There may have been still others, where we cannot now trace his presence through historical documents.” 10 That it was a union church is definitely stated in an article, which appeared in the ‘Weekly Messenger’, of February 8, 1837, and was written most likely by the Rev. Thomas Pomp, from 1796-1850 pastor of the Reformed church at Easton. In it occurs this statement: “The first church in which the Easton congregation worshipped stood at the foot of Morgan Hill, about a mile and a half from town, a little to the left of the old Philadelphia road’. 11 A seventh congregation of Wirtz may have been one which Schlatter Tohickon Reformed Church. 9 If a statement of the well-known historian Prof. I. Daniel Rupp,’? can be trusted, Conrad Wirtz was a probationer at the Coetus in 1749. If this is correct, the ministry of Wirtz in all these congregations extended from 1745-1749. Failing to receive the approval of the Fathers in Holland, under whom the Coetus of Pennsylvania was then carrying on its work, Mr. Wirtz turned to the Presbyterians. On September 27, 1750, the Synod of New York received a pe- tition from the “High Dutch” congregation of Rockaway, in the township of Lebanon, New Jersey. The minutes of the Synod state: “The High Dutch congregation of Rockaway, in the township of Lebanon, applied to the Synod that they may be taken under the care of this Synod, and that a certain person now preaching among them may be taken under examination, and if approved, ordained a minister to them. The Synod, in order to clear their way to trans- act anything with said people, do appoint Mr. Pemberton to make inquiry of the Dutch ministers in New York, whether said people belong to their jurisdiction; and he is to acquaint a committee of the Synod how that matter is. And the Synod appoints Messrs. Pierson, Burr, Arthur, Smith and Spencer, their committee, to sit at such time and place as they shall appoint, and transact in said affair, according as things shall then appear to them.’’?3 At the meeting of the Synod of New York on September in his diary calls ‘Lehigh’. On June 24-26, 1747, he visited the congrega- tions in Manatawny [read Maxatawny], Magunschy [Ziegel], Egypt and near the Lehigh [bey der Lechouw], a circuit of 45 miles, after which he came to Bethlehem. On the 30th, Schlatter mentions, in connection with Springfield, “in this region are four or five small congregations, namely Saccony, Forks of Delaware, Springfield and Lehigh, which would be able to contribute about 35 pounds or 233 Dutch guilders for the support of a minister’. As Wirtz supplied the first three, it is probable that he sup- plied also the fourth. But what congregation is Lehigh? It has been suggested (Reformed Church Review, XX, 1916, 89) that it was Stone Church, Northampton county. But, according to Schlatter’s diary, it should be on the road from Egypt to Bethlehem. This would fit Eastern Salisbury, Salisbury township, Lehigh county, where a union church was built in 1759, “after the Indians had again ceased to burn and to kill in this neighborhood”. It may well be that there was an earlier organiza- tion in this neighborhood. 12 Rupp, History of Berks and Lebanon Counties, p. 444. 13 Records of the Presbyterian Church, Vol. I, pp. 242 and 245. 10 The Pennsylvania-German Society. 26, 1751, the committee reported that “difficulties arising in their way from time to time they have not been able to do anything in it.” But they recommend that the matter be referred to the Presbytery of New Brunswick, “to transact in it according as they shall judge best, when matters are fully before them.” As the action of the Presbytery of New Brunswick regarding Mr. Wirtz has never been published in full, we shall insert a full statement of the case. As the last sentence of the Synodical minutes intimates, the matter had already been laid before the Presbytery, when the Synod took action in 1751, committing the whole case to the Presbytery for final decision. At its meeting at Woodbury, on the second day of the sessions, September 3, 1751, the minutes state :** “Mr. Wortz having applied to the Presbytery to be taken under trials and the Presbytery having considered the case, and heard something of his Christian experience, and examined him in some parts of learning, are willing to encourage him, and for further trial do appoint him to make a sermon in Latin on John III: 3, and an exegesis on that question, an justitia Christi justificamur,’® to to be delivered to the Presbytery that will sit at Neshaminy the first Wednesday of November.” When the Presbytery met at Neshaminy, November 6, 1751, the minutes give us the following information about the case of Mr. Wirtz: “Mr. Wortz attended the Presbytery and gave in the pieces of trial assigned to him by our last, viz.: a sermon in Latin on John III: 3, and an exegesis on the question, an justitia Christi justi- ficamur, and the Presbytery, having taken them under considera- tion, do agree to sustain them. But the Presbytery, having received a letter from the German Coetus, containing some complaints against Mr. Wortz’s conduct (for which he made a suitable retrac- tion to our Presbytery) yet do judge it necessary for promoting peace and order of the churches, that Presbytery suspend their 14 These extracts from the Ms. minutes of the New Brunswick Presby- tery were made for the writer by the present Stated Clerk of that presby- tery, the Rev.

II further proceedings till the matter be more thoroughly inquired into, and do agree to send a letter to the above said brethren, as soon as may be, in order to have said difficulty removed out of the way, and do appoint Mr. Beatty to draw up a letter and bring it unto the Presbytery the next sederunt.” “The 7th day at 10 o’clock, Mr. Beatty brought in the letter according to appointment, and it was approved, and ordered to be translated into Latin by the moderator, and sent to them.” At the next meeting of Presbytery at Cranbury, May 27, 1752, the case of Wirtz was finally brought to a successful conclusion. The minutes state: “Mr. Wortz brought into the Presbytery a letter from our breth- ren of the German Coetus, in answer to what was sent them by or- der of our Presbytery that sat last fall, wherein they declare that they have received full satisfaction from him with regard to his former proceeding in the ministry, and do recommend him to us under the divine blessing, wishing us to forward him to the glory of God and edification of His Church.” “The people of Rockaway supplicate the Presbytery for the speedy ordination fo Mr. Wortz, if the Presbytery see their way clear.” “The affair of Mr. Wortz resumed:—The Presbytery finding all difficulties as to his ordination removed, do think it may be for the interests of religion in that congregation to expedite his ordina- tion and therefore do appoint Friday the 8th day of June next to be the day of his ordination, to be attended at Rockaway at 11 of the clock, and do appoint Messrs. McCrea, Byram, Lewis and Kennedy to attend it, and Mr. Lewis shall preach the sermon and Mr. McCrea preside in said affair.” Mr. Wirtz ministered to the Reformed people at Rocka- way, N. J., till 1761. He does not seem to have taken his duties as a Presbyter very seriously. From 1752 to 1761, he attended the meetings of the Synod of New York only twice, in 1752 and 1753. In 1754, he complained to Pres- bytery “with respect to the deficiency of his congregation.” On October 21, 1761, he was given a letter of dismission and thus he passed out of the Presbyterian church. He had accepted a call from the German Reformed church at York, Pa., but he did not move into his new field of labor I2 The Pennsylvania-German Society. till May 1762. After having entered his new charge, he made the following interesting entry into the church record at York: “On the 2ist of August, of the year of our dear Redeemer, Jesus Christ, 1761, I, John Conrad Wirtz, minister of the Word of God, and installed preacher and teacher in the congregation of Rock- away and Valley in Jersey, received a letter from this congregation through Mr. Balthasar Spengel [Spangler] in which I was re- quested to preach to them, in the hope that the Merciful God would lovingly unite my heart with that of this forsaken flock, to the end that they might be thus again supplied with a faithful pastor and teacher. Under the divine protection and by His gracious will I consented to this request and concluded to undertake this journey with the above-mentioned Mr. Spangler. Accordingly we set out on our journey on August 27th, and arrived safely, and in good health, on the 1st day of September. On the Sunday following I preached my first sermon, which together with three or four additional dis- courses the Father of Lights blessed in such a way that the re- spected congregation unanimously manifested their love towards me and showed such perfect confidence in me that they requested me to accept their call, inasmuch as Mr. Lischy had left them and they were without a pastor.” “A call was therefore handed to me, signed by the then elders and members of the congregation, dated September 13, 1761, which call I was unable to decline, but accepted it in the name of God, but on this condition, that I secure the consent of my congrega- tions and the Reverend Presbytery of New Brunswick, by which I had been ordained to the holy ministry.” “Subsequently, after obtaining the consent of my congregations and receiving a dismission from the Reverend English Presbytery of Brunswick, dated the 21st of October, 1761, I removed to this place in the name of the Lord Jesus, and arrived on the 5th day of May 1762 in this congregation. On the following Sunday, being the 9th of May, I preached my introductory sermon from Revela- tions 10:10, that I might henceforth serve this congregation, ac- cording to the grace of God granted to me, with the preaching of the Word and administration of the Sacraments. To this end may the Merciful God, for the sake of Jesus, grant and communicate the grace, strength and assistance of His holy Spirit. May 12th, 1762. John Conrad Wirtz, V. D. M.” The ministry of Wirtz at York was of short duration. A Tohickon Reformed Church. 13 later entry in the record at York, states: “The Reverend Conrad Wuertz died on the 21st of September 1763, and was buried on the 23rd.” He entered 83 baptisms into the York record, the last one on August 14, 1763, from which we can infer that he was sick only a short time.*™ In 1902, Charles P. Wurts, Sr., of Chicago, compiled and published a “Wurts Genealogy” which shows the many de- scendants of Rev. John Conrad Wirtz,** some of whom be- came prominent in the affairs of our country. Mr. Wurts however fails to mention his great-great grandson, Hon.

He died January 17, 1910, and lies buried at Morristown. Rev. John Conrad Wirtz was buried under the altar of the old First Reformed church at York, Pa., the floor of the church not having been laid at that time. On May 9, 1914 his body was removed to Zion’s Reformed church at York, and a bronze tablet placed over his grave of which the etching shown herewith is a copy. Il. THE MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN JACOB RIESS August 1749 to March 1756. The successor of Wirtz at Tohickon was Jacob Riess, an- other independent Reformed minister, who was never a member of the Coetus of Pennsylvania. Jacob Riess, or, to give him his full name, John Jacob Riess, was born April 10, 1706, in Germany, but the exact place of his birth has not yet been ascertained. He arrived in the port of Philadelphia with the ship “Robert and Alice,” Hartley Cussack, master, from Rotterdam, and qual- ified September 24, 1742.17 With him came John George Riess, perhaps a brother, and Philip Fackenthal, the an- cestor of Dr. B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., of Riegelsville, Pa. In. August 1749, Riess appears as pastor at Tohickon. On August 27, 1749, he entered his first baptism into the record, heading it with the following superscription: 17 See Rupp’s Thirty Thousand Names, p. 157.

Butler (Seal) (Recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds, Doylestown, Bucks County, Deed Book 12 D, Vol. 3, No. 12, pp. 51-52.) There is only one point in this deed which needs to be emphasized. It is, that the first two persons to whom Blasius Boyer and his wife sold this land, Jacob Rees and Martin Shaffer, were the Reformed and Lutheran pastor respectively. They, together with the six men associated with them in buying this land, acted in their private ca- pacity when they secured this land. This appears from a second deed, or declaration of trust, which was executed a few days later, by which they transferred the land to four trustees of the two congregations. Although this deed is the more important document, it has been strangely over- looked by all earlier historians. To bring out its import- ance and to render it accessible to all interested in the his- tory of the congregation, we present it in full. It reads as follows: DEED OF CHURCH LAND GIVEN TO TRUSTEES, SEPTEMBER 6, 1758.

Witness my hand and Seal the day and year aforesaid. Recorded the 16th of February 1768. S. Butler (Seal) In this deed there are several points to which attention may be directed. When the deed was first drawn up, in September 1753, a church building was already standing on the church land, and the church was known from the be- ginning as St. Peter’s church. The first trustees were: Jacob Rohr and John Worman for the Lutheran congrega- tion, Michael Ott and John Bernhard for the Reformed congregation. Finally, the area of the church land was one acre and fifty-six perches, and it was situated in what was then Rockhill township. But the activity of Mr. Riess was not confined to To- hickon. It embraced a number of neighboring congrega- tions. One of them was Lower Saucon. Into the To- hickon record John Egidius Hecker entered twelve bap- tisms which Riess performed at Saucon from January 1750 to July 1752, although it is likely that the ministry of Riess at Saucon extended, as at Tohickon, from 1750-1756. 22 The Pennsylvania-German Society. The charge of Riess comprised also Indian Creek. He preached there apparently from June 1753 to August 1766. Between these two dates he entered 256 baptisms into the Indian Creek record. In 1760, Riess became pastor of Springfield, in Spring- field township, Bucks county, near Pleasant Valley post- office. He baptized the first child there August 24, 1760, and the last one November 2, 1763, officiating during that period at 47 baptisms. It is probable that here also, as at Indian Creek, his ministry extended to 1766, for no suc- cessor to Riess appears at Springfield till the latter year. In 1764, Riess accepted several other congregations farther south, in the Goshenhoppen region. At New Gosh- enhoppen his baptismal entries run from October 1765 to January 1766, though it is certain from other evidence that his pastorate there began earlier and ended later. The minutes of the Coetus of May 8-9, 1765, report Riess at Goshenhoppen. At Old Goshenhoppen he seems to have entered his first baptism on June 5, 1764, and his last on March 15, 1766. That was probably the extent of his min- isterial activity in the Goshenhoppen region. Although his name does not appear in the Great Swamp record, we know that he preached there, for the Coetal minutes of Septem- ber 3-4, 1766, report that “Old Goshenhoppen, as well as Great Swamp, has dismissed their shoemaker, Ries by name. They earnestly request that we provide them with a minister.” When this report reached the Fathers in Hol- land they replied under date June 26, 1767, advising that Mr. Frederick Daelliker be sent as pastor to these congre- gations. This suggestion was, however, not carried out. On September 24, 1760, Jacob Rees, of Rockhill town- ship, Bucks county, was naturalized by the Supreme Court, held on that date at Philadelphia.*® 19 These naturalizations are printed in full in the Publications of the Huguenot Society of London, Vol. XXIV, Manchester, 1921. Tohickon Reformed Church, 23 After the year 1766 Riess probably retired from the ac- tive ministry, for his name is not found in any church rec- ord after that date. However, he continued his interest in his churches, for at his death he left £10 to the trustees at Indian Creek, for the instruction of poor children.?? To judge from his entries in the various records the work of Riess was done faithfully and to the best of his ability. At any rate he supplied churches which but for his preaching would have been for years without any pastoral care. For- merly these independent ministers were looked down upon as being religious tramps, without any training and conse- cration. Some no doubt deserve this harsh judgment, but others did a useful work, even though they did not enjoy official recognition. Riess lived, probably in retirement, on his farm in Rock- hill township. His tomb is in the Tohickon cemetery. The inscription on his tombstone reads: : Hier Ruhet in Gott JACOB RIESZ. Gewessener Reformirter Prediger Gebohren den 10. April 1706. Gestorben den 23. December 1774. Nach Ausgestandener Miihsamkeit und Ruh meine Schrifften darzu Bis sich der liebe jiingste Tag Nahet herzu. As the seventh line is unintelligible, we can only guess at the meaning of the latter part of the inscription. The whole seems to mean: “Here rests in God Jacob Riess, late Reformed preacher, born April 10, 1706, died December 23, 1774. After enduring earthly troubles now I rest from my labors [?] until the dear last day approaches.” From all appearance Riess deserves his humble place in Reformed church history. 20 The receipt of this money is noted in the account book of the Indian Creek church, see Lieut. Col. Jacob Reed, by Dr. W. H. Reed, Norristown 1905, p. 158f. 24 The Pennsylvania-German Society. A short time ago the writer discovered the last will and testament of Mr. Riess in the Register of Wills Office at Philadelphia. It was signed by Riess on October 13, 1769, and was probated on January 3, 1775. As this document gives us an interesting insight into his family life, we publish it in full. It reads as follows: THE WILL OF JACOB RIESS, OCTOBER 13, 1769. In the name of God, Amen. I Jacob Rees?! of Rockhill Township in the County of Bucks and Province of Pennsylvania, being sick in body but of sound and perfect memory, thanks be to Almighty God, and calling to re- membrance the uncertain Estate of this transitory Life and that all flesh must yield unto Death when it shall please God to call, do make and declare this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say: First, I give and devise to my dear wife Mary Catharine the sum of Eighty two pounds Current lawful Money of Pennsylvania to be paid on the next 27th of November after my Decease, besides one bond of Highteen Pounds from Adam Goar which was payable in the year 1756 the said Bond to be delivered to my said wife when demanded after my decease and I also give and devise unto my said wife one of my best cows and one of my best Heiffers and I also further give and Devise to my said wife my bed and beddings and her choice of as much household goods as she shall stand in need of and also two books, viz.

Appraisers sworn by B. Chew, Regr. Genl. These two interesting documents relating to the family and estate of Jacob Riess do not call for much comment. We note, however, that the Christian name of his wife Tohickon Reformed Church. 29 was Mary Catharine. He had only one daughter, Mary, who at the time of his death was married to Peter Henry. The inventory shows that Riess was a fairly well-to-do man, according to the standard then prevailing, and it also corroborates the statement of the Coetus minutes that he was a shoemaker by trade, for his shoemaker’s tools are mentioned in the inventory. tT THE MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN EGIDIUS HECKER, April 1756 to February 1762. The next pastor who appears in the Tohickon record is John Egidius Hecker. His baptismal entries are headed by the statement: ‘Begun April 19, 1756, by John Egidius Hecker, hoc tempore Reformatae Religionis Pastor, Do- hicken,” i. e., “at this time pastor of the Reformed religion, Tohickon.” Hecker is another independent Reformed pastor, whose history has been sadly neglected by Reformed historians. Dr. Harbaugh evidently knew little about him, for he re- fers to him only incidentally in the sketch of his grandson, the Rev. Henry Koch (Fathers, III, 299). Dr. Dubbs added a little more to our knowledge in his Manual (p. 395). Dr. Good (History, p. 520) presents additional facts, secured by the researches of the present writer, which he carried on in 1898 at Dillenburg, the home of Hecker. From the church records at Dillenburg the following facts have been gleaned about Hecker. John Egidius Hecker was born at Dillenburg, the capital of the then principality of Nassau-Dillenburg, January 26, 1726. He was the son of John Wigand Hecker and of his wife Anna Juliana, who was of noble descent, because in one place of the records she is called: “Thro hochfiirstliche 30 The Pennsylyania-German Society. Durchlaucht”, i. e., “her princely Highness”. John Wigand Hecker was equerry to Prince Christian, the last of the Nassau-Dillenburg princes, who reigned 1724-1739. The following children of this couple are found in the records: 1. Anna Catharine, b. March 8, 1708; bapt. March 10th. . August Christian Frederick, b. Jan. 9, 1712; bapt. Jan. 15th. . Christian, b. May 8, 1714; bapt. May 11th. . John Jacob, b. Dec. 29, 1715; bapt. Jan. 4, 1716. . Johanna Elizabeth, b. June 7, 1718; bapt. June 15th. . John George, b. April 12, 1721; bapt. Apr. 19th; died soon. 7, John George, and (8) John Egidius??, twins, b. January 26, 1726; bapt. Jan. 29th. The name John HEgidius was taken from that of his sponsor, John Egidius Eberhorn of Wallen, in Hesse-Darm- stadt. A certificate, dated June 1751, was in existence till re- cently in Allentown, in the hands of one of his descend- ants,2 which showed that John Egidius had studied in the University of Herborn. The matriculation book of the uni- versity, covering this period, is unfortunately lost, so that the exact time when he entered Herborn can no longer be determined. Hecker emigrated to Pennsylvania and landed in Phila- delphia in the ship “Neptune,” Captain James Wier, from Rotterdam via Cowes, on September 23, 1751. On Octo- ber 23, 1752, he appeared before the Reformed Coetus of Pennsylvania, at its meeting in Lancaster. The minutes state (p. 76): “A certain young man was present by the name of Hecker, who arrived in this country last year, and has begun to preach without ordination. He requested that he might be examined and ordained by us, so that hereafter he might go on laboring with honor and quietness of conscience in his so-called congregations. He received this answer, that although he might produce good testimonials, our ao»rk WwW DY 22 The name Egidius, more correctly Aegidius, is derived from the Latin word aegis, the shield, which in turn is borrowed from the Greek aigis, the shield of Jupiter and Minerva. Hence Aegidius means “shield bearer’, or “protector’’. 23 See The Penn Germania, Vol. I, p. 555; old series, Pennsylvanta Ger- man, Vol. XITT. Tohickon Reformed Church. 31 Coetus could not possibly grant his desire, but according to its in- structions [from Holland] it was obliged not only to refuse his re- quest, but also dissuade him from continuing his preaching, further beseeching and admonishing him not to keep on in such unadvised conduct, but to conduct himself peacefully and as a Christian.” In view of the scarcity of ministers then prevailing, this was very shortsighted advice to give, for as the Coetus as well as the Fathers in Holland could have foreseen, Hecker kept right on with his preaching even without official ap- proval, while such approval would have added greatly to his effectiveness. One of the members of the Coetus, the Rev. John Wald- schmidt, had the courage of his convictions and on Novem- ber 22, 1752, wrote the following recommendation to Depu- ty Hoedmaker at The Hague :?* “There has been with us a student [of theology] named Hecker, from Dillenburg, as you can learn from Professor Arnoldi. He knows some Hebrew, Greek and Latin and therefore would be better qualified to act and teach thoroughly, but in order to avoid dis- order, I do not wish to recommend him to you further. But I want to submit this as also the other matters to your consideration.” The place of Hecker’s early activity is somewhat obscure, but there are several documents that throw light upon it. In a history of the Stone Church, Allen township, North- ampton county, which the Rev. J. C. Becker entered into the church record there in 1835, he states with regard to the origin of the earliest congregations in Northampton county: “About 85 years ago [about 1750] there existed three small Ger- man congregations in this neighborhood, namely one in Moore- township, one at Indian Creek and one on the Indian Land, which because of the sparse population were only very small and on ac- count of the poverty of the members were unable to support a set- tled minister. They were, therefore, compelled, because of lack of well-trained ministers, who were in connection with a Synod, to be 24 The letter of Waldschmidt is printed in full in the writer’s “In Memory of the Rev. John Waldschmidt” in the Reformed Church Review, Jan. 1916, pp. 31-33. — 32 The Pennsylvania-German Society. satisfied with itinerant preachers, who belonged to no organization and merely pretended to be ministers.” The earliest preacher in these churches was Mr. Hecker. This appears from a letter which an elder of the Stone Church, Simon Dreisbach, Jr., wrote in January 17/73, tothe Rev. John Henry Helffrich. He writes:* “About seventeen years ago [1755-1756] when I began to reside here, church services or church attendance was very irregular, the preacher [Hecker] appeared only half of the time when he had an- nounced services. Then the people who met had to return home most of the time, without hearing a sermon, which displeased them very much.” Then the writer traces the history of the congregation to the end of Mr. Gross’s ministry in 1765. Continuing he writes: “Through his removal the people became very much dissatisfied, and hence they returned again to their former preacher, Hecker.” As there is a distinct tradition (See Penn Germania, Vol. I, p. 551) that Hecker was the first pastor of the congrega- tion and as his pastorate came to an end about 1755, it is probable that the ministry of Hecker extended from about 1751 to 1755. It was brought to an end, most likely, by the Indian incursions in 1755-56, which seem to have compelled him, like many others, to leave Northampton county, cross the Lehigh river and serve congregations to the south of the Lehigh. The first tangible trace of Hecker in the southern field occurs in the Lower Saucon record, which he opened on March 1, 1756, prefacing it with the following heading: Church Record of the congregation in Saucon, begun in the year of Christ 1756, by me, John Egidius Hecker, pastor of the Re- formed religion there. Opened in the year of Christ 1756, on the first of March. Hecker’s last entry in the Saucon record is dated March 265 The letter of Dreisbach was published by the Rev. John B. Stoudt, in the Reformed Church Review, Vol XVIII, (1914) pp. 206-218; see p. 209, for the passge quoted above. Tohickon Reformed Church. 33 30, 1766. Between these two dates, 1756 and 1766, he en- tered 32 baptisms. Most of Hecker’s pastoral activity is recorded in the Tohickon record. Between August 1756 and February 1762, he entered 586 baptisms, besides these, 133 marriages, from October 1755 to February 1762, and 90 burials from June 1756 to January 1762. During the same period, 1756-1762, Hecker officiated also at Upper Milford. His parish included a fourth congregation during this time, namely Springfield, where he performed 13 baptisms from May 18, 1766, to May 6, 1767. In the year 1767, Hecker gave up all of his congregations south of the Lehigh, being succeeded everywhere by min- isters of the Reformed Coetus of Pennsylvania. Just as the Indians pushed him southward in 1755 so the Coetus joe Signature of Rev. John Egidius Hecker, from the Lower Saucon record. ministers pushed him northward again in 1767. Crossing the river Hecker settled in Moore township, from which as a center he ministered to at least three congregations, namely Indianland, in Lehigh township, Indian Creek in Allen township and Emmanuel’s Church in Moore town- ship. In the church record of the last-named congregation his baptismal entries begin May 14, 1769, and end May 9, 1773, during which time he entered 17 baptisms. The last dated entry which Hecker made in this record was on Oc- tober 8, 1773, when he signed the financial statement for that year. He died in Moore township in November 1773. His widow applied for letters of administration in the county court at Easton on November 30, 1773, when she and Jost Dreisbach signed a bond of fifty dollars to insure 34 The Pennsylvania-German Society. the faithful administration of the estate. Unfortunately no settlement or inventory of the estate is now on record. Mr. Hecker was married, but thus far only the Christian name of his wife, Catherine, is known. They had seven children, three sons and four daughters. The following are found in the Tohickon record: 1. John Adam, b. July 27; bapt. August 1, 1756. 2. Anna Maria, b. Nov. 19; bapt.

Besides these there were three other children, namely: 5. Elizabeth Magdalena, b. March 20, 1754. 6. Sibylla Veronica, b. July 6, 1767; and 7. Jonas, b. November 12, 1771. The last three birthdates are taken from tombstones. As a considerable number of Reformed ministers are descended from Mr. Hecker, it will be of interest to add a short ac- count of his descendants. The data have been furnished by two friends, the Rev. John Baer Stoudt of Allentown and Mr. Charles R. Roberts of Allentown. The record of the children is as follows: John Adam Hecker, resided in Lehigh township, North- ampton county, where he died June 24, 1815. He there possessed a farm of 150 acres. He was married in 1781 to Susanna Engel, who was born October 4, 1759, and died August 1, 1842. Their children were: Jacob, John, Henry, Kate, Mrs. Laudenschlager and Mrs. Riegley. Jost William Hecker, removed to Whitehall township, Lehigh county, where he died in March 1821. To him and to his wife Regina, née Seem (who died in February 1827, buried in Zion’s churchyard near Kreidersville north of Catasauqua) were born ten children, as follows: Adam, Elizabeth, Paul, John, Egidius, Jacob, Mary, Mrs. Wood- ting, Mrs. Butz, Mrs. Kreiling. Tohickon Reformed Church. 35 Jonas Hecker, was born Nov. 12, 1771, and died June 29, 1842. He was married, July 2, 1793, to Maria Magdalena, daughter of Martin Mickley, who was born February 19, 1772, and died January 15, 1854. They resided in White- hall township and reared there a family of eight children: Daniel, William, Joseph, Jeremiah, Charles, Juliana, Peter and Maria Magdalena. Peter Hecker married Eliza New- hard. Their issue: Lewis P., William F., and Jane, the last of whom was married to Alfred W. DeLong, the father of the Rev. P. A. DeLong. Elizabeth Magdalena Hecker, was born, according to her tombstone at the Stone Church (Zion’s Reformed) near Kreidersville, on March 20, 1754. She died October 21, 1825. She was married to John George Koch, who was born July 27, 1744, and died September 2, 1811. This union was blessed with eleven children, John the oldest was born Nov. 7, 1772, died March 15, 1858; he married Eva Catha- rine Edelman. The other children were Sarah, Anna Maria, Eve, Christina, George, Daniel, Elizabeth, Henry and Regina. Their youngest son Henry was born August 21, 1795. He was confirmed by Rev. Thomas Pomp and studied under the Rev. F. W. Vandersloot, Rev. C. L. Becker and Rev. Jacob S. Becker. He was ordained to the Christian ministry September 9, 1819. The story of his pioneer work in establishing the Reformed Church in what is now Clarion county has recently been recounted in an address by the Rev. H. H. Wiant, at the “Henry Koch Memorial” and the One Hundredth Anniversary of Trinity Reformed Church, Alcola, Pa., August 4-5, 1920.*° Anna Maria Hecker, was married to Adam Troxell, of Whitehall township, Lehigh county. She died February 8, 1812. Their children were: Nicholas, Peter, Christian, Hanna and Jonas. Hannah became the wife of the Rev. 26 See “Reverend Henry Koch, A Memorial Address’, by H. H.

Catharine Margaret Hecker, according to the inscription on her tombstone, was born June 24, 1761, and died April 2, 1844. Her husband, Henry Bartholomew, was born Sep- tember 23, 1758, and died February 23, 1829. They re- sided near the Stone Church and had the following chil- dren: Henry, Jonas, Philip, Susannah (married to Kilian Reimer), Elizabeth (married to Isaac Siegfried), Sallie (mar- ried to John Danner) and John, who died in infancy. Among her descendants were the following Reformed min- isters: Rev. Abraham Bartholomew (1833-1903), and his brother, the Rev. Dr. Allen R. Bartholomew, secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Reformed Church; Albert O. Bartholomew, now (1924) pastor in Allentown and Calvin E. Bartholomew, Joshua S. Bartholomew (1863- 1921) and his nephew Nevin D. Bartholomew a Presbyter- ian minister, now residing in Buffalo; and Oscar Bartholo- mew, a Lutheran minister and cousin of Dr. Allen R. Bar- tholomew. Sibylla Veronica Hecker, was married to Peter Troxell, a brother of Adam Troxell, the husband of her sister Anna Maria. She died March 8, 1844. They had seven children: John, Magdalena (married to Jacob Jones), Peter, Susanna, Catharine and Solomon. The record as given above shows that there are ten known ministers among the descendants of John Egidius Hecker. In 1873, at the (so-called) 150th anniversary of the found- ing of the church, a large monument*’ was erected to the memory of Mr. Hecker in the graveyard adjoining Em- manuel’s Church at Petersville, Pa. It bears the following inscription: 27 A picture of this monument is published in Penn Germania, Vol. I, p. 556. Tohickon Reformed Church. 37 To the memory of REV. JOHN E. HECKER, who was pastor of this Reformed congregation one hundred years ago and is buried here. After the departure of Hecker from Tohickon in 1762, the congregation was not without a leader. It was sup- plied with preaching by a layman, who was teaching school and also studying theology with the Rev. John George Al- sentz, pastor of the Reformed congregation at German- town. This man was John Christopher Gobrecht. Even before he was ordained in 1766 he preached at Tohickon. It was during the period of his lay activity that an im- portant step was taken by the two united congregations, a stone church was erected to take the place of the log church, in which they had been worshipping. It was dedicated on May 8th, 1766. The Tohickon Luth- eran record gives us the following information about this important event: “Anno 1766, May 8th, on the festival of the ascension, our newly built stone church was publicly dedicated by myself and Mr. Al- sentz, on the Reformed side. I took my text from I Kings 8:28-29, and gave the church the name “Friedens Kirche,” i. e. Church of Peace. The text of the Reformed preacher was from Isaiah 56:7, the last words. Attested by Philip Rapp, Lutheran pastor.” From this entry it is evident that Gobrecht had asked his teacher Alsentz to officiate for him at this historic oc- casion.2® This stone church, tradition asserts, was at first, like the log church that had preceded it, without floor and stoves, which were put in later on. It had galleries on three sides. It was in use till 1838, when it was succeeded by the third building, also a stone church, 50 by 60 feet in size, 28 Alsentz was repeatedly called upon to dedicate churches in the ab- sence of regular pastors. On May 13, 1764, he preached the first sermon in the new stone church of the Reformed congregation at Reading. See Daniel Miller, History of the Reformed Church in Reading, Reading 1905, p. 42. 38 The Pennsylvania-German Society. with galleries on three sides. This last building was re- modeled in 1884. With the coming of Gobrecht the congregation passed definitely under the control of the Reformed Coetus of Pennsylvania. IV. THE MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN CHRISTOPHER GOBRECHT, October 1766 to December 1770. On October 12, 1766, Gobrecht appears in the church record definitely as pastor of the Tohickon congregation. Like the preachers who had preceded him he began his ministerial activity as a lay preacher. John Christopher Gobrecht was born in the village of Angerstein, near the city of Goettingen, in what was then the Kingdom (now the Province) of Hannover, on October 11, 1733, and was baptized there October 18th, the son of Daniel Gobrecht, a cowherd.”® Nothing is known of his youth except that he was a weaver by trade. He arrived in Philadelphia September 11, 1753, in the ship “Queen of Denmark,” George Parish, captain. He signed his name to the oath of allegiance as “Joh. Christoph Gobrecht, Jr.” With him came another passenger, John Christian Go- brecht, who may have been his brother. Having been in this country about ten years, Gobrecht began teaching school. On the fly leaves of a catechism, which he once owned and which is now in the collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, he entered his financial accounts, beginning with the year 1763. From these entries it appears that in 1763 he was conducting a 29 These new facts regarding Gobrecht are taken from a recent letter of the Reformed pastor at Bovenden, Hannover, to which Angerstein be- longs ecclesiastically.

As nothing has been published thus far about Gobrecht’s activity as a school- teacher, it will be of interest to present a few extracts: 1763, November 26th.

About the same time Gobrecht began to feel a desire to enter the ministry. With this end in view he studied for two years with the Rev. John George Alsentz, who was then pastor of Germantown, Worcester and Witpen. In September 1766, at the meeting of the Coetus held at Read- ing, the following reference was made to Gobrecht and his activity : “There is a congregation [Tohickon] much ruined by’an adven- turer [Hecker]. The good element had to withdraw and the other part learned at last to realize its mistake. These people come and desire aid from the Coetus and a regular minister. They cannot raise more than thirty pounds, and to unite the congregation with others is impracticable, because it is located out of the way, and the nearest congregation [Springfield] is still under the influence of the adventurer. We cannot call a minister, because of the small salary; but there is a person [John C. Gobrecht] converted by God’s Spirit, who has a good knowledge of theoretical and practical the- ology, is able to explain the principles of Holy Scripture and is well qualified to build up a congregation through his example and preach- ing. He lived two years with a minister [J. G. Alsentz] in order to be better qualified. The said congregation hears this man, sees the difference between a sincere and well instructed man and an adventurer. The congregation wants to call that person. He wishes to accomodate them, but not without the order of the Coetus. They appear before Coetus with the request to examine and ordain him. To send him to Holland is impracticable; the candidate dreads the sea voyage; the congregation cannot wait so long, since the ad- venturer, who resides in the vicinity, still has and seeks adherents in the congregation, by which course confusion and division would certainly arise. The person referred to above and his qualifications being well known to us through personal contact, we have the best Tohickon Reformed Church. 41 prospects of saving the congregation. What should Coetus in this case be allowed to do? These things are not fiction, but the real truth and nothing but the truth.” On October 12, 1766, Gobrecht began his entries in the Tohickon record, prefixing them with the following head- ing: “The children whom I, John Christopher Gobrecht, Reformed minister in Bedminster township, have baptized, are as follows, beginning with October 12, 1766.” Ac- cording to Dr. Harbaugh (Fathers, II, 146) Gobrecht was ordained in the Tohickon Church, September 28th, 1766. From that date to December 9, 1770, Gobrecht entered at Tohickon 112 baptisms. His charge included also Indian Creek, or Indianfield, as it is frequently called in the Coetus minutes. There he baptized 73 children, from February 15, 1767, to September 23, 1770. As his financial statements, recorded in the catechism quoted above, throw light on his stay in the Tohickon charge, we shall present a number of them: “IT Christopher Gobrecht, have received from the Tohickon con- gregation, for the year: c Ssiecrd TSS mONTANSUSte a kore Seer. ottecel stearate mre claves Lh 3 On October 7, received from F.

During part of this time, from at least September 1769 to September 1770, Gobrecht preached also at a congrega- tion, called Great Swamp in the minutes of the Coetus (Minutes, pp. 290, 301). But, as Mr. Faber was the pastor at Great Swamp, in Lower Milford township, Lehigh county, this Great Swamp must have been in Bucks county. The solution of the apparent contradiction is that the latter is Trumbauer’s church.*® This is not only located near the Swamp Creek, but from the minutes of the Coetus of 1772 it is certain that Gobrecht preached at Trumbauer’s. When in that year Tohickon and Indianfield refused to let their pastor preach at Trumbauer’s, the latter congregation com- plained to Coetus and stated that “Do. Gobrecht, the for- mer pastor, had supplied the congregation.” ‘This is sup- ported by Gobrecht’s financial record, which contains for the year 1770, the following statements regarding the con- gregation in the “Swamp:” 25, Foal. 1770, February 25, I received in the Swamp from Peter Bleiler as my salary.....

Tohickon Reformed Church. 43 seems to imply that, as Gobrecht was still unmarried in 1770, he was boarding with his elder, Jacob Fluck. At the meeting of Coetus, held September 19-21, 1770, at Philadelphia, “a call came from the congregations at Muddy Creek, Cocalico, Seltenreich and Reyer’s Church for Mr. Gobrecht. But, because he had many scruples about leaving his congregations, four weeks time for con- sideration was given him and he was charged to report his decision to the Reverend Coetus.” Shortly afterwards Go- brecht decided to accept the call and he removed to his new field of labor in December 1770. On December 15, 1770, Gobrecht began his entries in the Cocalico record. While he was pastor of the Cocalico charge Gobrecht was married, May 28, 1771, to Elizabeth Sands,** of Berks county. This union was blessed with seven sons and three daughters. The following are en- tered into the Cocalico record: Daniel, born June 13, bap- tized June 19, 1772; John, born December 10, baptized De- cember 30, 1773; David, born October 3, baptized October 8th, 1775; William, born October 17, baptized November 18, 1777. The second of these sons, John Gobrecht, 1773- 1830, became a minister of the Reformed church, while a younger son, Christian Gobrecht, 1785-1844, was a dis- tinguished engraver, who from 1840 to 1844 was chief en- graver in the United States Mint, at Philadelphia. Gobrecht remained pastor of the Cocalico charge till De- cember 1779, when he was called to Hanover, Christ Church (near Littlestown), Abbotstown and Bermudian. There he ministered from 1779 until 1806, when increasing infirmity of the body compelled him to retire from the ministry. He 81 The name is not Elizabeth Lentz, as Harbaugh (Fathers, II, 146) gives it, but Elizabeth Sands. She was the daughter of John Sands of Reading and his wife Catharine, née Greiner. They were Episcopalians. What is still more surprising is that her sister Catharine was married to another Reformed minister, the Rev. Frederick J. Berger, from 1765-68 pastor at Reading. When John Sands died in 1775, his daughters, Eliza- beth Gobrecht and Catharine Berger, were mentioned in his will. 44 The Pennsylvania-German Society. died at Hanover, Pa., November 6, 1815, and was buried in the cemetery of Immanuel’s Reformed Church, Han- over. His tombstone bears the following inscription: Sanft schlummert einer frdhlichen Auferstehung entgegen der Ehrw. Johann Christoph Gobrecht viel jahriger reformirter Prediger Geboren in Deutschland den 1iten October 1733 Gestorben den 6ten November 1815 Seines Alters 82 Jahr 3 Wochen und 5 Tage. Alongside of him lie his wife Elizabeth, born November 2, 1746, died October 2, 1801, and his daughter Sarah, who died February 21, 1860, aged 69 years and 3 days. V.. THE ‘MINSTRY OF THE REV. CASPAR WACK, November 1771 to August 1781. After a vacancy of nearly a year the congregations called the Rev. Caspar Wack as their next pastor. He began his ministry at Tohickon and Indian Creek in November 1771. Caspar Wack is said to have been the first young man, born in America, who was ordained by the authorities of the Reformed church in this country (Harbaugh, Fathers, II, 174). Strictly speaking this is not correct, inasmuch as Jonathan Du Bois, who was born at Pittsgrove, New Jer- sey, December 3, 1727, was ordained by the Reformed Coetus at Lancaster on October 21, 1752 (Minutes, p. 75). But as Du Bois became the pastor of a Dutch Reformed church at Neshaminy, Bucks county, under the Reformed Coetus of Pennsylvania, Wack may well be regarded as the first German Reformed pastor, born in America, to be or- dained in this country.

John Christopher Gobrecht at Hanover, Da. ~—- a “a i > br a, a, i < sl \ = ie 5 Tohickon Reformed Church, 45 His father, John George Wack, arrived in Philadelphia with the ship “Patience,” John Brown, master, and quali- fied there September 16, 1748. In the original ship list his age is given as twenty-three. Hence he was born in 1725. His birthplace was, according to Dr. Harbaugh, the city of Wittenberg, in Germany. If that is correct he was orig- inally a Lutheran. The father settled in Philadelphia, where he became an elder of the Reformed church and where he married soon afterwards, for his son, Caspar Wack, was born there August 15, 1752. As young Wack showed signs of talents, his pastor, the Rev. Caspar Wey- berg, interested himself in him and took charge of his edu- cation. After several years of study Wack was sent in 1770 by the Coetus to Lancaster as a catechist. (Minutes, p. 298.) In October 1771, the Coetus held at Reading, examined and licensed him. The minutes of that meeting refer to him as follows: “Do. Gobrecht, concerning whom it was reported in the last minutes, that the congregation of Mr. Wittner had given him a call, accepted the call. His congregations, which were vacant from that time, this year called Mr. Wack. Concerning Mr. Wack the Rev- erend Fathers were given a short statement in last year’s minutes, namely, that he had been under the instruction of Mr. Weyberg. He is now far enough advanced, through training, to be able to serve a congregation. The congregations of Lower Tohickon and Indianfield, which have thus far been cared for by his ministry, and, according to their statement, have also been edified by his preaching, have shown such a desire for him as to give him a unani- mous call. Mr. Wack was therefore first examined in the divine truths and the way of salvation, and, after he had given satisfac- tion to the Reverend Coetus, it was resolved that Mr. Wack, for the time being, should continue to serve these congregations with preaching and catechizing as before, but we will defer the ordina- tion until the Reverend Fathers have first been notified. Whatever they will advise in the matter will be done by us with regard to Mr. Wack.” (Minutes, p. 315f.) At the Coetus of June 1772, held at Lancaster, Wack 46 The Pennsylvania-German Society. with four other candidates, Weber, Neveling, Wagner and Steiner, Jr., was once more examined and shortly after- wards all these candidates were ordained (Minutes, p. 328). Mr. Wack’s ministry began in the Tohickon charge on November 23, 1771, when he baptized the first child. Be- tween that date and August 26, 1781, he entered 186 bap- tisms, 55 marriages and 9 burials into the Tohickon record. At Indian Creek his baptismal entries do not begin till Sep- tember 19, 1772. They continue there till September 9, 1781. In 1772, the Trumbauer’s congregation complained to Coetus, that the congregations at Tohickon and Indianfield would not permit Wack to preach for them, although Mr. Gobrecht, the former pastor, had supplied them. They, therefore, asked that Mr. Wack be permitted to preach for them every third Sunday on condition that they pay one third of his salary. Coetus allowed this arrangement. In 1773, Nockamixon asked Coetus to allow Mr. Wack to serve them. Coetus directed that he “serve this congre- gation from time to time, as far as he may do so without neglecting his other congregations.” While pastor at Tohickon Mr. Wack was married, on April 18, 1776, to Barbara, daughter of Jacob Leidy, Jr., of Franconia township, one of his officers in the Indian Creek church. Mr. Wack and his wife resided for a while in Hill- town township, Bucks county, within convenient distance of his congregations. . Mr. Wack remained pastor of Tohickon and neighboring congregations till 1782, when he accepted a call to German Valley, Fox Hill and Rockaway, in New Jersey. These congregations he served from 1782 to 1809. From there he went to Germantown, Pa., where he was the first to intro- duce English preaching into the services of that congrega- tion. Together with Germantown he served also White- marsh, from 1809 to 1821, and, after resigning Germantown, Tohickon Reformed Church. 47 he continued at Whitewarsh to 1823, when declining strength compelled him to retire. During the last few years of his life he resided with his son, Dr. Philip Wack, at the Trappe, where he died July 17, 1839. He was a most active and faithful pastor, who by his incessant labors for his parishioners endeared himself greatly to his people. He lies buried in Leidy’s graveyard, alongside of his wife. Their tombstones bear the following inscriptions: Sacred Sacred to the memory of to the memory of Revd. Casper Wack Barbary Wack who departed this life who departed this life the 17th of July A. D. 1839 the 9th of August A. D. aged 87 years. 1842 aged 86 years 3 months and 22 days. bi Re THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. JOHN THEOBALD FABER, July 1782 to April 1786. At the Coetus held at Reading May 1, 1782, “the congre- gations Tohickon, Indianfield and Great Swamp, which by the departure of Mr. Wack had become vacant, asked, through delegates, for another minister. The Reverend Coetus could do nothing but give these congregations the liberty to call a minister.” (Minutes, p. 378.) Shortly afterwards the Rev. John Theobald Faber, then pastor at Lancaster, accepted a call to Tohickon, Indian- field and Trumbauer’s, for on July 28, 1782, he entered his first baptism into the Tohickon record. At Indianfield his first baptism is dated July 14, 1782. John Theobald Faber was born February 13, 1739, at Zozenheim, south of Bingen, at one time in the Palatinate, 48 The Pennsylvania-German Society. but now in Rhenish Hessia. He was the son of the Rev. John Faber, from 1730-1754 pastor of the Reformed congre- gation at Zozenheim. The younger Faber matriculated at the University of Heidelberg, February 5, 1760. His ex- amination as a candidate of theology took place at Heidel- berg April 20, 1763. Three years later he left the Palatinate for Holland. At his departure the Consistory of the Pala- tinate gave him a certificate, dated April 28, 1766, by which his return to his native land was not only permitted to him, but he was also guaranteed special consideration for his advancement, in case of his return.” On May 27, 1766, Mr. Faber with two other candidates, Carolus Lange and John George Wittner, appeared before the Deputies of the Synods of North and South Holland at The Hague, where they were examined in the Cloister Church. Each candidate had first to preach a sermon. Faber preached from I Cor. 6:11. They were then ex- amined, for more than three hours, in the principal doc- trines of theology. Finally they had to write an exegesis of the Hebrew text of Psalm I and of the Greek text of Il Tim. 2. After passing these examinations to the satisfac- tion of the examiners, they were required to sign the Dutch creeds and were then given fifty guilders each for their traveling expenses to Holland. Later each one of the can- didates received fl. 250 as traveling expenses to Pennsyl- vania. Their ship “Catharine,” captain Nathaniel Lorentz, left Rotterdam for New York June 10, 1766. They ar- rived in Philadelphia in September 1766. Mr. Faber was sent to the Goshenhoppen charge, consist- ing of New Goshenhoppen, Old Goshenhoppen and Great Swamp. He began his ministry there in October 1766. At first he made his home with Colonel Daniel Hiester. This was his residence most likely till he was married, August 18, 1770, to Barbara Rose, daughter of Erhart Rose, of 32 Printed in Dr. Weiser’s Monograph of the New Goshenhoppen and Great Swamp Charge, p. 63f. Tohickon Reformed Church. 49 Reading.**2 After his marriage he moved into the parson- age built on the church farm near the New Goshenhoppen church. His ministry at Goshenhoppen extended from Oc- tober 1766 to October 1779. Through his faithful labors his membership increased largely. In 1768, he reported 30 families at Old Goshenhoppen, 90 at New Goshenhoppen and 30 at Great Swamp. In 1773, the total number of his families was 260. Signature of Rev. John Theobald Faber, from Old Goshenhoppen record. The ability of Faber as a preacher was soon recognized by other churches. Hence frequent calls came to him from other fields. Lancaster alone called him three times, in 1770, in 1775 and again in 1779. Finally in the last year Faber accepted the call of the Lancaster congregation, to the great sorrow of his people at Goshenhoppen. He left Goshenhoppen in October 1779. His ministry at Lancaster was, however, of short duration, lasting only three years, 82a Dr. Weiser (Monograph, p. 66) tells a romantic story of Mr. Faber having been entertained as a guest at the home of Mr. Erhardt Rose, at Reading, at a Synodical meeting, and that he met at that time his later wife, Barbara Rose. Unfortunately, the story cannot be correct in all its de- tails, because there was no meeting of the Coetus at Reading from the latter part of September, 1766, when Faber arrived in Pennsylvania, till August 1770, when he was married. Faber arrived shortly before the 19th of September 1766, when Alsentz addressed a letter to him (see Goshen- hoppen History, p 216f). He just missed the meeting of Coetus, which had been held at Reading, September 3-4, 1766. There is no reference to him in the minutes of that meeting. After 1766, Coetus did not meet at Reading till 1771, after Faber had been married. Hence Faber could not have met Miss Rose at a meeting of the Coetus at Reading. But, in 1768, a special committee of the Coetus, of which Faber was a member, met in Reading to investigate the case of Mr. Berger. It may have been at that occasion that he was entertained at the home of Mr. Rose. and met then for the first time his daughter Barbara, whom he married in 1770. 50 The Pennsylvania-German Society. 1779-1782. The city life contrasted evidently unfavorably in his mind with the quiet life of his former, rural, charge. When, therefore, the Tohickon charge became vacant in February 1782, through the removal of Wack, Faber ac- cepted a call to this field, which was only fifteen miles from his first home. On July 28, 1782, Faber made his first baptismal entry at Tohickon. From that time till June 20, 1784, he entered 57 baptisms into the first Tohickon record. On July 4, 1784, he began the second church record at Tohickon, a large folio volume, entering into it from that date till April 23, 1786, thirty-one baptisms. At Indian Creek he entered 58 baptisms from July 1782 to April 1786. His marriages at Indian Creek extend from August 1782 to March 1786. On May 17, 1786, the minutes of the Coetus report that Faber had left Indian Creek and Tohickon and had returned to his former congregations in the Goshenhoppen region. . It was a happy reunion with his first congregations, which caused much mutual joy and satisfaction. Unfortunately his second pastorate at Goshenhoppen was very brief. Faber died suddenly and unexpectedly on No- vember 2, 1788. Under date November 26, 1788, the “Lan- caster Zeitung” had the following account of his death :** “On the last Sunday [November 2, 1788] Mr. Faber, apparently well and healthy, proceeded to the New Goshenhoppen church, to hold services there. To the surprise of the schoolmaster and many members of the congregation, he gave out the funeral hymn: “Ach Herr lehre mich bedenken,” [i. e., O Lord, cause me to remember]. Then he read the lesson for the Sunday as his text and began to preach from it. He pointed, with special emphasis, to the comfort- ing words of the Saviour: “The maid is not dead, but sleepeth.” When he had finished the first part of the sermon and was passing to the second, he stopped his discourse, for he seemed to become weak. The elders came to his assistance and carried him from the 83 This account of Faber’s death was written by the Rev. Wm. Hendel, of Lancaster, Pa., as appears from a letter of Hendel to Abr. Blumer, dated November 17, 1788, now in the archives of the Historical Society of the Reformed Church at Lancaster. Tohickon Reformed Church, 51 pulpit into the schoolhouse, where they laid him on a bed. There he passed away within 45 minutes, in the 49th year of his age. General sorrow and consternation spread over the whole congre- gation. On last Tuesday [November 4th] his body was buried in the church, before the pulpit. Several neighboring ministers, together with a very notable, numerous congregation, of various denomina- tions, followed his coffin to the grave. The Rev. Mr. Blumer de- livered an impressive and edifying sermon from the text, Hebrews 13:17. The congregations, which were under his pastoral care, mourn together with the deeply afflicted family the loss of a hus- band, father and teacher.” Faber left a widow and seven children, the oldest of whom, John Theobald Faber, Jr., entered the ministry and became his father’s successor.*** Rev. Daniel Weiser had a memorial tablet placed on his tomb, whose epitaph reads as follows: Tritt leise! i. e., “Approach softly! Hier ruhet der Here rest the Ehrw. Joh. Theob. Faber; Rey. John Theob.

Alter 49 Jahr 8 Mon. und 18T. Age 49 yrs. 8 mos. 18 days.” After the removal of Faber from 'Tohickon and affiliated congregations, in April 1786, they were apparently supplied by neighboring ministers. At Tohickon, the Rev. Frederick Daelliker, who was then pastor at Falkner Swamp, entered a baptism on Nov. 3, 1786, which evidently implies a visit and preaching service. At Indian Creek, the Rev. Herman Winkhaus, then pastor at Witpen and Trappe, baptized 38a Mr. Faber had the following children: (1) John Teobald, Jr., b. Sept. 24, 1771;-(2) Daniel, b. August 3, 1773; (3). Eva, b.

The first four and the last of his children were born and baptized at Goshenhoppen; the fifth and sixth at Lancaster.

VII. THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. JOHN MICHAEL KERN, May 1787 to February 1788. The next minister at Tohickon has left the following superscription to his baptismal entries: “During the min- istry of John Michael Kern, V.D.M., the following were baptized.” This heading introduces us to another inde- pendent Reformed minister, about whom little was known till recently. The first trace of Mr. Kern in Europe was discovered last year at Heidelberg. He matriculated at the University of — Heidelberg November 21, 1753, as coming from Mannheim, in the Palatinate. Investigations carried on at Mann- heim** have disclosed the fact that John Michael Kern was born there August 31, 1730, and was baptized September 3, 1730. He was the son of John Leonard Kern, tailor, and his wife, Anna Eva, both of whom were members of the Reformed church at Mannheim. He probably studied at Heidelberg three years from 1753-56. What became of him afterwards we do not know at present. When we hear next of him he is pastor of the German Reformed church in the city of New York, which he served from 1763-1771." He was then called to Montgomery, N. Y., where he preached from 1771 to 1776. Being an ardent loyalist, he was com- pelled to leave the State of New York. He then betook himself for safety to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he stayed from 1778 to 1787. In 1787 he is reported to have been at 84 These investigations were made with the assistance of Prof. Dr. L. Lemme, of Heidelberg University. 85 For Kern’s ministry in New York state see Dr. Corwin’s Manual of the Reformed Church in America, 4th ed., 1902, p. 549. Tohickon Reformed Church. 53 West Camp and Rhinebeck, N. Y. In the following year he came to Pennsylvania and accepted a call from the To- hickon charge. There were a number of Kern families in the Tohickon congregation. Hence it is not impossible that Kern fol- lowed the invitation of his relatives to come and settle among them. As early as 1750 Christian Kern and his wife Anna Mary were members at Tohickon. In 1769, we find Adam Kern and his wife Catharine, in 1789 Philip Kern and his wife Catharine, in the membership of the congregation. But the ministry of Mr. Kern in his new field of labor was very brief. At Tohickon he baptized the first child on May 16, 1787, and the last on February 24, 1788. At Indian Creek, his first baptism is recorded on December 7, 1787, his last on March 13, 1788. He died suddenly and unex- pectedly in Rockhill township March 22, 1788, and was buried in the graveyard of the Indian Creek Church. The inscription on his tombstone reads: In Memory of Rev. John Michael Kern. Born in Germany 1736. Died March 22, 1788. Comparing his birthdate on the tombstone with the rec- ord obtained from Mannheim, there can be no doubt that either the stonecutter or the person who ordered the in- scription made a mistake. It is not the only instance in which a mistake is found on the tombstone of a Reformed minister.*® 4 36 Another instance of such a mistake on a tombstone of a Reformed minister is that of Rev. John W. Neveling, who died January 18, 1844, and is said, on his tombstone in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia (also in Harbaugh, Fathers, II, 207) to have been 94 years of age at the time of his death. The records of his home town in Germany show that he was born August 4, 1754. 54 The Pennsylvania-German Society. VIII. THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. JOHN WILLIAM INGOLD, June 1788 to July 1790. The next pastor at Tohickon introduced his entries with the statement: “Children who were baptized by me, John William Ingold, pastor pro tem.” Ingold is another minister, like Kern, about whose ante- cedents in Europe it was very difficult to get any definite information. At last, through the kind co-operation of Prof. Dr. L. Lemme, of Heidelberg, this obscurity has been dispelled. John William Ingold was born October 4th and was baptized October 8, 1734, at Simmern, near Coblenz. His father was the Rev. John William Ingold, Sr., who from 1735-1764 was the second Reformed pastor at Sim- mern. The younger Ingold matriculated at the University of Heidelberg August 8, 1754.°7 He was ordained at Heidel- berg May 10, 1762. In June 1774, Ingold appeared before the Deputies of the Holland Synods at The Hague. He submitted to them the following testimonials: (1) His certificate of ordination, dated Heidelberg, May 10, 1762; (2) a letter of recommendation from F. C. Hospital, Con- sistorial Councillor at Heidelberg, dated May 23, 1773; and (3) a letter from the consistory of the German Reformed Church at London, dated February 20, 1774, where Ingold had preached for four months. Ingold was given fl. 150 as traveling expenses to America and a letter of recommenda- tion to the Coetus of Pennsylvania, dated June 9, 1774. Shortly afterwards he left for Pennsylvania, where he ar- rived in the fall of 1774. Ingold had a checkered career in Pennsylvania, filled 97 Ingold matriculated at Heidelberg August 8, 1754, not August 4th, as formerly given by the writer in History of the Goshenhoppen Charge, p. 224; see Matrikel der Universitit Heidelberg, 1903, Vol. IV, (1704- 1807) p. 166. Tohickon Reformed Church. 55 with troubles and difficulties. His name occurs in the min- utes of Coetus from 1775 to 1790. During these fifteen years he served at least seven different charges. Shortly after his arrival he became pastor at Witpen and Worcester, in Montgomery county. At Witpen, (now Boehm’s Church at Blue Bell) his baptisms run from No- vember 7, 1774, to May 25, 1775. At Worcester (now Wentz’s Church) his ministry began November 10, 1774, as shown by a receipt for salary. At the close of the first year his congregations refused to continue his salary at £75. “His brethren were sorry for him and helped him to Sau- %? con,” writes the secretary of the Coetus. There he stayed Agree Signature of Rev. John Wm. Ingold, from Old Goshenhoppen record. for a few months in the year 1776, without leaving any traces in the church record, and then departed for Easton. Here his entries begin August 25, 1776, and ‘continue till March 17, 1786. In 1781, when Goshenhoppen became va- cant, the two smaller congregations, namely Old Goshen- hoppen and Great Swamp, allowed him to preach in their churches, but New Goshenhoppen refused to admit him. Hence he left Goshenhoppen again in November 1781. After he gaye up Easton in 1786, he accepted a call from Reading, which is dated September 14, 1786. His stay there, lasting a year and a half, was filled with quarrels. Hence was compelled to leave in April 1788. Coetus does not want to put all the blame on him, but states rather se- verely: “A repulsive conduct is likely to bring about such consequences.” From Reading Ingold went to Tohickon, Indian Creek and Trumbauer’s. At Tohickon his baptisms 56 The Pennsylvania-German Society. - begin July 6, 1788, and end June 3, 1790. At Indian Creek they extend from June 19, 1788, to November 1, 1789. While pastor of these churches he lost his wife. He himself en- tered the notice of her burial into the Indian Creek record: “1789, March 29th [buried] Mrs. Catharine Barbara In- gold, wife of the minister, aged 40 years, 6 months, 3 weeks and 4 days.” She was buried in the Indian Creek cemetery. The date of death on her tombstone is given as March 27th, 1789, which shows that the date in the record must be the date of burial. She left four children. At the meeting of the Coetus, held at Falkner Swamp in June 1790, Ingold is reported to have been “rejected by his congregation.” After that he became an independent Re- formed minister, who did not attend the meetings of the Coetus, nor, after 1793, the meetings of the Synod of the Reformed Church in Pennsylvania. From July 1790 to May 1793, Ingold was ministering to Spiess Church, in Berks county, an independent Reformed congregation, and from 1791 to 1796 to Amity Reformed Church, another independent congregation. After the year 1796 we lose trace of him, although he was still living, for in the year 1801 Synod informed him that, because of his continued absence, he had excluded himself from the Synod. When and where he died is as yet unknown, but his son, John M. Ingold, was a Reformed pastor in Pitts- burgh, from 1819-1821.** IX. THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. NICHOLAS POMP, August 1790 to September 1797. After an interval of a few months Tohickon and neigh- boring congregations secured a new pastor in the person of the Rev. Nicholas Pomp. His entries in the Tohickon record are prefaced by the following heading: “N. Pomp, ~ 8 See Heisler, Fathers of the Reformed Church, Vol. IV, p. 472. eG > Fragment of Autobiography by Rev. Nicholas Pomp. Tohickon Reformed Church. 57 having been called to Tohickon and having accepted the congregations of Indianfield and Tohickon, entered upon his work at Tohickon the first of August, in the year 1790, and continued this book in the following order.” Nicholas Pomp, or to give him his full baptismal name, John Nicholas Pomp, was born January 20, 1734, at Mam- bachel, then in the Duchy of Zweibriicken, now in the “Regierungsbezirk” Trier, a part of the Rhine Province. His parents were Peter Pomp (written Bomb in the rec- ords) and Anna Elizabeth Thomser. They had been mar- ried at Baumholder (the center of the parish, of which Mambachel was a part) November 28, 1726. The couple had seven children, of whom John Nicholas was the fourth.*° During his early youth Nicholas was a sickly child, and even afterwards seems to have suffered from ill- health. After leaving public school his father urged him to take up the tailoring business. But it undermined his health and as a result he gave it up after a few years. When twenty years of age he began his preparation for the min- istry, by going to a higher school, where he studied the an- cient languages. At twenty-four he entered the University of Marburg, matriculating there April 25, 1757. While studying at Marburg a call came from the Synods of Hol- land for preachers in Pennsylvania. Pomp responded to this call and was ordained in the city of Cassel. He ap- peared before the Deputies of the Synods in March 1765, and was by them commissioned for Pennsylvania on March 27, 1765. Sometime afterwards he started for Philadelphia, where he arrived December 7, 1765. His first charge consisted of Falkner Swamp and Vin- cent, which he served with great acceptance from 1765 to 1783. In the latter year he accepted a tcall to the Reformed church at Baltimore. His departure from Falkner Swamp 39 The new data presented above were secured through Prof. Dr. L. Lemme, of Heidelberg. 58 The Pennsylvania-German Society. caused much sadness and even bitterness among his parish- ioners there, while his new congregation caused him much worry and labor. There were at that time two factions in the church at Baltimore, which disagreed over the erection of anew church. Pomp was unable to heal the division and to reconcile the contending parties. He, therefore, left Bal- timore in 1789 and went to Goshenhoppen to become there the successor of Faber. But, when accepting the call, in October 1789, he stipulated that he would serve the con- gregations only until they could secure the services of the younger Faber, who was studying for the ministry. Hence the stay of Pomp at Goshenhoppen was brief, from Novem- ber 1789 to July 1790. At the latter date young Faber was ready to take his father’s place. On August 1, 1790, Pomp began his ministry at Tohickon and Indianfield, or Indian Creek, as it is now called. At Tohickon Pomp baptized 239 children, from June 1790 to September 1797. At Indian Creek he baptized during the same time 126 children. During part of this period, namely from April 1794 to August 1795, he was also preaching at Witpen, now Boehm’s Church at Blue Bell, as is evident from his entries in the record of that congregation. In 1797, Pomp retired from the ministry after a pastoral activity of thirty-two years. He went to live with his son, Thomas Pomp, at Easton, where the latter was pastor of the Reformed congregation. He died at Easton September 1, 1819. He lies buried, alongside of his wife, in the ceme- tery at Easton. Their tombs bear the following inscrip- tions: Revd.

In 1774, while pastor at Falkner Swamp, he published an able treatise against the Universalists.* X. THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. JACOB SENN, October 1799 to January 1818. After the retirement of Pomp the congregations were without a regular pastor for more than a year. There was, however, an unknown person supplying them, for in the Indian Creek record there are 22 baptisms, entered by an unknown hand, from September 1798 to September 1799. The next pastor, who began his ministry in October 1799, was the Rev. Jacob Senn, a man about whom little is known thus far. He was born June 1, 1774, but the place of birth is unknown. He received his education in the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, graduating from that institution with the degree of A.B. in the year 1792, and receiving the degree of A. M. in 1795.“ At the meeting of the Reformed Synod, convened at Falkner Swamp, May 3-5, 1795, “Messrs. Wack and Pomp made application for the examination and ordination of the candidates Wack, Pomp and Senn, and requested Synod to have the matter attended to in the fall through a commit- tee. The request was acceded to and a committee was appointed for the purpose consisting of Messrs. Dalliker, Blumer, Helffrich, Hendel and Herman.” At the meeting of Synod, held in April 1796, in Philadelphia, the commit- tee reported that “they had attended to the duty assigned them and were perfectly satisfied with their knowledge of 40 The title page of this book is reproduced in the writer’s History of the Goshenhoppen Charge, p. 248. 41 These facts are given in the General Alumni Catalogue of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 1922, p. 11. 60 The Pennsylvania-German Soc ety. theology, the languages, etc., and accordingly have or- dained them to the ministry. It was resolved that the Synod is well satisfied with what was done.” According to Dr. Harbaugh (Fathers, II. 406) the ordination of all the three men, Thomas Pomp, John Jacob Wack* and Jacob Senn, took place at Indianfield on September 23, 1795. Jacob Senn’s first pastorate was in New Jersey, where he labored for four years at Knowlton, Stillwater and Sussex- town, in Sussex county. While pastor there he was mar- ried, September 19, 1798, to Elizabeth Markel. He came to Tohickon in October 1799. His baptismal entries at To- hickon begin November 2, 1799, his marriage records No- vember 17th, and his burial records October 12, 1799. He remained pastor of this charge to the day of his death, which took place January 28, 1818. His funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Frederick W. Van der Sloot, pastor of the Goshenhoppen charge, from the text: “I am dis- tressed for thee, my brother Jonathan,” II Sam. 1:26. He lies buried in the cemetery attached to the Indian Creek Church. His widow, Elizabeth Senn, died more than 54 years later, on October 30, 1872, at the age of 90 years, 10 months and 7 days. She was buried beside her husband, the Rev. Jacob Kehm preaching her funeral sermon. The inscriptions on their tombstones read: In Memory of In the Revd.

Tohickon Reformed Church. 61 XI. THE MINISTRY OF THE REV. JOHN A. STRASS- BURGER, April 1818 to July 1854. Jacob Senn was followed almost immediately by John Andrew Strassburger, who preached for the first time in the charge on Easter 1818. Although only a theological student at that time, he began soon afterwards to preach to these congregations regularly. John Andrew Strassburger was the son of John Andrew Strassburger, Sr.,** who had been born in Oberingelheim, in the Palatinate, January 24, 1754, and had come to Penn- sylvania with his father, arriving in Philadelphia October 13, 1769. In 1780 he married Eva Jaeger. They had seven children, of whom John Andrew, Jr., was the fourth. He was born in Upper Milford township, Lehigh county, Octo- ber 3, 1796. He studied theology under Dr. Samuel Helf- fenstein in Philadelphia. After three years of study he ap- peared before the Synod which met at Carlisle, September 6-9, 1818, was examined by a committee and licensed Sep- tember 9, 1818. In the statistics for the year 1818 he ap- pears already as the pastor of Indianfield, Tohickon and Great Swamp. This is another case, in which Great Swamp is used for Trumbauer’s Church. At the meeting of Synod held at Lancaster, September 5-9, 1819, Strassburger was examined once more and, with thirteen other candidates, ordained in the evening of Sep- tember 9, 1819.** It is at first sight surprising that his bap- tisms begin shortly after he had received his licensure, at 43 For the ancestors of John Andrew Strassburger see the account of the Strassburger Family, in Dotterer’s Historical Notes, I, 92f. 44 This corrects the statement of Dr. Heisler, Fathers of the Reformed Church, Vol. IV., p. 127 note, that Strassburger was ordained on Septem- ber 23, 1819. The printed minutes show that the Synod of 1819 was held on September 5-9, 1819. The ordination of the candidates took place on Thursday evening, September 9th. See Minutes, 1819, p. 22. 62 The Pennsylvania-German Society. Tohickon on October 4, 1818, and at Indian Creek on De- cember 13, 1818. His marriages start at Tohickon Septem- ber 13, 1818. This would be against present day church law, but according to the constitution of 1793, which was then in force, licentiates were granted license to perform all the ministerial acts. Strassburger was pastor of these con- gregations for thirty-six years, from April 1818 to July 1854. On July 14, 1854, he handed to his consistories the following resignation, which was printed :* “After due notice, the Consistories of the four united congrega- tions, to wit: Indianfield, Charlestown, Tohickon and Ridge Road, assembled in Ridge Road Church, on Saturday afternoon, at 1 o’clock, on which occasion the Pastor of said charge handed in his resignation, viz. On account of bodily and mental debility, I J. A. Strassburger, resign my ministerial charge amongst you, after a servitude of thirty-six years and three months; during which time about three thousand children were received by infant holy Baptism; fifteen hundred and ninety-five members by Confirmation, after catecheti- cal instruction; twelve hundred and thirty-five couple were insti- tuted in the holy bonds of wedlock, by matrimonial ceremony; one thousand and forty-four committed to their long and solitary home, on which occasions funeral addresses were delivered. That the great Shepherd of his flock may soon bless you again with a pious and faithful Pastor, is the solemn wish and humble prayer of yours affectionately in the Lord. J. A. Strassburger. Ridge Road Church, Rockhill tsp., Bucks Co., July 14, 1854.” Strassburger was much beloved by his people, who looked upon him as their father. After his resignation he retired to his farm at Bridgetown, Bucks county, where he died May 2, 1860. He is buried in the graveyard adjoining the Indian Creek Church. 45 The original of this resignation was written in German, of which a copy is before the writer. It was translated most likely by one of the elders into this, rather queer, English. ve ———— Tohickon Reformed Church, 63 The pastors that succeeded Strassburger to the present time were as follows: 1854-1857, Rev.

THE TOHICKON REFORMED CHURCH RECORDS VOLUME I, 1745-1784 The first volume of the Tohickon Reformed records is a book 8 by 6% inches in size, bound in boards and contains at present (1924) 97 leaves or 194 pages, some of which are blank. It was be gun in 1749 by Jacob Riess, but some earlier baptisms, performed by John Conrad Wirtz, from 1745-1748, were entered, in the rear of the book, by John Egidius Hecker, during the latter’s ministry, 1756-1762. As the entries in the book are badly mixed up, it seemed desirable to rearrange them for this edition in chronological order. The following is the contents of volume I, in chronological order: I.

N trying to write the history of the Tohickon Luth- eran congregation, the writer feels he cannot do full justice to his subject. The sources of Reformed church history in Pennsylvania, which he has been gathering for twenty-five years, fail him when he un- dertakes to write also the history of the Lutheran church. Hence he acknowledges himself as hampered for lack of documents. But since the Lutheran record published here- with calls for a treatment similar to that of the Reformed record, he must content himself with the sources that are at present available. These are mainly three: First, the minutes of the Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania, 1748-1821, printed in Philadelphia in 1898; secondly, the “Hallesche Nachrichten,” the great treasure house of Luth- eran church history in Pennsylvania, which consist of elab- orate reports, sent by the Lutheran ministers of Pennsyl- vania to the authorities of the institutions at Halle, Ger- many, presided over for years by the celebrated Dr. Francke. They were first published at Halle in 1787, but were reprinted in this country, in 1886-1895, in two large 1 Documentary History of the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania and adjacent States.

Our quotations are always taken from the American reprint. And last, but not least, the church record of the congregation, whose care- ful study, like that of the Reformed records, has been sadly neglected, to the detriment of the true history of the con- gregation. What is usually regarded as the earliest reference to the Tohickon Lutheran congregation is found in a letter of the Lutheran patriarch, the Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, dated June 18, 1754. Under that date he wrote as follows to the pastors at Halle: “At a river, called Tohicon, about twenty-two miles from Provi- dence, is a small congregation of High German Lutherans, who for about ten years past [1744-1754] have been visited as much as possi- ble by our Ministerium, and were last served by Messrs. Rauss and Schultz. But, inasmuch as the congregation is somewhat out of the way, is also too poor to support a minister alone, and is indeed not able to raise even the half or the third part of a sufficient salary, in union with other congregations. . . . we are much perplexed about it. The congregation has built with great efforts and costs a schoolhouse and parsonage. But we do not know how to help them, because the financial support is lacking. They are very sad that we cannot help them as we would like to do, and they believe that they are abandoned for other reasons” (H. N., II, 186). When we compare these statements with the Tohickon record we discover to our great surprise that no trace of either Rauss or Schultz can be found in the record. The Tohickon church record was opened on May 24, 1750, by an unknown hand, which entered six baptisms on that day. It could not have been either Lucas Rauss, pastor at Old Goshenhoppen, or Frederick Schultz, Muhlenberg’s assist- ant at New Hanover and Providence, for the simple reason "2 Nachrichten von den vereinigten Deutschen Evangelisch-Lutherischen Gemeinen in Pensylvanien.

N. Tohickon Lutheran Church. 339 that neither of them came to Pennsylvania before the year 1751. Vs MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN MARTIN SCHAEFER, 1750-1753. On June 10, 1750, there begins another set of thirty-seven baptismal entries, which extend from that date to Decem- ber 3, 1753. These were made by John Martin Schaefer, who in a baptism of his own daughter, Magdalena Barbara, on June 3, 1753, calls himself “minister here.” These en- tries, all in the same handwriting, prove that from June 1750 to December 1753, John Martin Schaefer preached to the congregation. His ministry leaves no room for that of Rauss and Schultz. The only conclusion which we can draw from these facts is that the “Tohicon” of which Muhlenberg wrote in 1754 is not identical with the To- hickon of this church record. Hence there must have been two Lutheran congregations on the Tohickon creek at that time. This conclusion is corroborated by several other facts. In 1750, there were two delegates from the “To- hecka” present at the meeting of the Ministerium (Minutes, p. 28). This could not have been the Tohickon of the rec- ord which we now publish, because it was in 1750 under the care of an independent Lutheran minister, who was not recognized by the Ministerium. Again, in 1752, the Minis- terium resolved that “Old Goshenhoppen, Indianfield and Tohecka shall remain together, as they have been to the present, and be served by Mr. Rauss” (Minutes, p. 39). This passage is further proof that the “Tohecka” mentioned in the minutes of the Ministerium cannot be our Tohickon, because the latter was served from 1750-53 by Schaefer and not by Rauss. If there must be two Lutheran congregations on the Tohickon creek, the question naturally arises: 340 The Pennsylvania-German Society. Where is the second to be found? The answer is simple: It is Keller’s Church, also in Bedminster township,® and also on the Tohickon creek, but two and one-half miles southeast of the present Tohickon. It was this church on the “Tohecka” which sent delegates to the convention of Lutheran ministers, held in June 1750, at Providence, and it was this church which was under the pastoral care of Rauss. In the “Jubilee Volume” of the Norristown Con- ference, published in 1917,* occurs this statement about Keller’s Church (p. 93): “The first pastor of this congre- gation of whom there is any record was Lucas Rauss.” Thus assurance is made doubly sure that the Tohickon mentioned by Muhlenberg and in the minutes of the Minis- terium was not the present Tohickon Church, but rather Keller’s Church, whose record harmonizes perfectly with Muhlenberg’s description. Being thus, to our regret, deprived of the “earliest refer- ence” of our Tohickon, we are left in the dark as to the first pastor or pastors of the present Tohickon Lutheran congregation. It is probable, although by no means cer- tain, that the union of the Lutheran and Reformed people went back to the very beginning of church life in this com- munity, that is, the year 1745. When in the year 1753 the first church land was purchased, it was done by the two united congregations. Hence, we may perhaps conclude that the Lutheran congregation also reaches back to the year 1745. But while the founder of the Tohickon Lutheran congre- gation is unknown, the first known pastor was John Mar- tin Schaefer. This man was an independent Lutheran min- ister and an opponent of Muhlenberg. He came to Amer- 3 As a result Keller’s Church appears occasionally as “Bedminster” in the minutes of the Ministerium, see pp. 238, 332, 335. 4 1517-1917, Jubilee Volume, Norristown Conference of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania and adjacent States.

He was a student and adherent of the notorious John Conrad Andreae, pastor at Old Goshenhop- pen, and was probably ordained by him. From 1750-53, he was preaching at Tohickon and during his stay there took part in the purchase of the first church land on Sep- tember 1, 1753. In 1757, we find him at Upper Milford, where he entered the first baptism into the record. He had apparently accepted an invitation to preach at Upper Milford, but before the end of the year he received and ac- cepted a call from the German Lutheran congregation in New York City. He stayed in New York till 1761, when he removed to Waldboro, Maine, where he is said to have neglected his pastoral duties, but became rich as a physic- ian. He died there in 1794 (H. N., I, 631). 1M le MINISTRY OF REV. JACOB FREDERICK SCHERTLEIN, 1754-1755. During the years 1754 and 1755, we find a number of entries in the Tohickon record made by Jacob Frederick Schertlein. Thus, on December 1, 1754, there is a baptism of Anna Elizabeth, daughter of John David, and of his wife, Christina Barbara. This baptism was entered by “M. [Magister] Schertlein, minister in Maguncy.” Other bap- tisms were performed by Schertlein on May 8, 1755. Jacob Frederick Schertlein was born at Hornberg, in Baden, Germany. He became Magister at Tuebingen in 1717; was pastor at Zell and Altbach, near Esslingen, Wur- temberg, in 1733; was dismissed there in 1748; came to America, landing at Philadelphia September 27, 1752; was pastor in Heidelberg, Lehigh county, beginning in 1754, of 342 The Pennsylvania-German Society. the new church in Weissenberg in 1754, at Zionsville in Upper Milford in 1758. How long he served these congre- gations is not certain. The above extract from the To- hickon record shows that he was also at Macungy as early as 1754. In 1763, he was compelled to flee from his home because of the Indian incursions. At the meeting of the Ministerium in October 1763, at Philadelphia, a letter was read from Mr. Schertlein, in which he excused his absence “on account of his age and danger from the Indians,” with the added request to be remembered in prayer (Minutes, p. 71). In November 1768, Muhlenberg reports him® as hav- ing departed this life. Although Schertlein was not a regu- lar member of the Ministerium, Muhlenberg tried to culti- vate friendly relations with him, and invited him to attend the meetings of the Ministerium, as he expresses it, “in the hope that under the rough shell a good kernel might yet grow under the influence of suffering and through the work- ing of the good Spirit” (Minutes, p. 43). Schertlein was present at only one meeting, in 1754. AY MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN JOSEPH ROTH, 1755-1758. On August 17, 1755, another pastor was at Tohickon, heading his baptismal entries with a Latin sentence, which may be translated: “The deacon John Joseph Roth has begun to write the names of the baptized children.’ John Joseph Roth was, according to the statement of Muhlenberg (H. N., II, 434). in his youth a Roman Catho- lic student from Siegen, Westphalia. He is probably iden- “8 See Hallesche Nachrichten, I, 592; Schantz, Historical Discourse at the Sesqui-Centennial of the Jordan Hv. Luth. Congregation, Allentown, 1894, p. 14. 6 The original reads: Diaconus Johannes Josephus Roth incepit scri- bere nomina baptizantium. Tohickon Lutheran Church. 343 tical with the “Johannes Josephus Roth,” who qualified at Philadelphia September 22, 1752. He appears as a preacher first at Tohickon, in August 1755. From that date till April 15, 1758, he entered thirty-six baptisms into the To- hickon record. He preached also at Indianfield, where his baptismal entries begin February 15, 1756, and extend to March 18, 1764. Several of his own children appear in the Indianfield record. Thus, on March 18, 1757, John Marcus, “son of John Joseph Roth, pastor of this church, and Eliza- beth, his wife,” was born and baptized March 24th. An- other son of the pastor, John Michael Kilian, was born June 16th and baptized July 24, 1759, On December 8, 1761, Mr. Roth visited Muhlenberg, (H. N., II, 382) and asked to be received as a member of the Lutheran Ministerium. He was at that time pastor at Old Goshenhoppen, Indianfield and Upper Milford. He re- ported that he had notified Indianfield of his intention to resign, which intention, however, he did not carry out. If there were any difficulties, they were apparently overcome. Mr. Roth was examined by the Ministerium on June 29, 1762 (Minutes, p. 65), but his reception was postponed until more information could be secured about him. There must have been some doubt and hesitation about him, for when he was finally received on October 17, 1763, the delegates of Indianfield and Saucon were asked about his conduct and whether the congregations had expressed a desire for him. After satisfactory assurances had been given, the Ministerium received him on the following conditions: “1. That a necessary admonition be addressed to him before- hand. 2. That it be understood that we retain the right to exclude him for sufficient reasons. The President addressed the admonition to him, and the other members gave their assent and received him with the right hand and hearty con- gratulations.” (Minutes, p. 71.) Roth was pastor, at that time, of Indianfield, Saucon and Upper Milford. In the 344 The Pennsylvania-German Society. year 1763, he became also the first pastor of the newly organized Lutheran congregation in Allentown. He served these congregations till his death, which occurred in May 1764. On May 17, 1764, Muhlenberg received a letter from Saucon, containing the report that Deacon Roth had been buried on the preceding Sunday, May 13th. (H. N., II, 566.) He was buried in the graveyard of the Blue Church, Upper Saucon township, near Coopersburg, Pa." IV. MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN WOLF LIZEL, 1760-1765. The next Lutheran pastor at Tohickon was John Wolf Lizel. He was no doubt identical with “Joh. Wolfgang Leitzel,’ who on September 24, 1753, signed the oath of allegiance at Philadelphia.* He gave his age at that time as thirty years. Hence he was born in 1723. On July 16, 1754, “Johann Wolfgang Leitzel,” advertised as “deutscher Schul-und Rechen Meister” in Saur’s newspaper and an- nounced that he was conducting a night school, both in summer and winter, in Germantown.® He was probably engaged in teaching for some years. In 1760, he appears in Tohickon as preacher, heading his baptisms in the church record with the statement: “Baptized by me, John Wolf Lizel, of Nuremberg.” Very little is known about him. According to the annotations in the “Hallesche Nachrich- ten,” he was an adherent of the ill-famed Andreae (pastor at Old Goshenhoppen from 1743-50 and at Germantown from 1750-53) and was probably ordained by him. He was, ’ 7 See Proceedings of the Lehigh County Hist. Society, Vol I, p. 106. 8 See Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series, Vol. XVII, pp. 399 and 401. 9 Knauss, James O. Social Conditions among the Pa.

Tohickon Lutheran Church. 345 therefore, an independent Lutheran minister, who was never recognized by the Ministerium. At Tohickon, Lizel baptized the first child on December 8, 1760, and the last one on July 27, 1765. During that period he entered 84 baptisms into the record. One of the children baptized by him was his own daughter, Maria Helena, baptized January 1, 1765. He officiated also at In- dianfield, where from December 9, 1767, to May 15, 1769, he entered 18 baptisms into that record. In 1769, he was preaching in the Salisbury church, for in August of that year he entered a baptism in the records of that church (H. N., I, 593). After that his name disappeared. Ae MINISTRY OF REV. PHILIP HENRY RAPP, 1765-1772. Beginning with October 1765 a new pastor was active at Tohickon. It was Philip Henry Rapp. On January 16, 1766, he signed the financial statement for the year 1765, with the following signature: “Philippus Henricus Rapp, pastor loci.” Rapp came to Pennsylvania in 1750. Under date August 29, 1751, Muhlenberg reports in his diary: “Mr. Andreae has recommended some one else from here for New York, one who calls himself Rapp. With other Germans he came to this country a year ago.” (H.N., II, 29.) In his youth Rapp is said to have been engaged in a mercantile busi- ness (H. N., I, 630). When he came to Pennsylvania, An- dreae received and ordained him, and sent him to Macungy in Lehigh county, where he officiated from the fall of 1750 to October 1751. Andreae then recommended him to New York, where he served the party of Riess (a party hostile to Muhlenberg) till the end of 1753. After the death of Andreae, on January 1, 1754, he went to Germantown, 346 The Pennsylvania-German Society. where he stayed as pastor till 1762. At that time he be- come involved in a quarrel with his parishioners, who ap- pealed to Muhlenberg for assistance. In the following year Rapp was compelled to withdraw, as he failed to get a single vote in an election, which Muhlenberg had arranged (H. N., II, 650). Shortly afterwards he came to Tohickon, where he entered the first baptism on the 22nd Sunday after Trinity, i. e., in October 1765. From that date till 1772 (the exact date is not given) he entered forty-eight baptisms in the Tohickon record. It was during the ministry of Rapp that the first stone church was built at Tohickon. Several historians’? have stated that Muhlenberg contributed to this building. Let us examine the evidence. In his diary of 1763, Muhlenberg writes: “On February 2, 1763, towards evening several men from the Tohickon congregation came to me and asked for a collection for their new church building. I gave them my mite, but told them to look for more from other friends.” (H. N., II, 523.) Now, inasmuch as Rapp, the then pastor at Tohickon was not a member of the Ministerium and To- hickon itself had always been an independent congregation, it is much more likely, and indeed almost ‘certain, that this passage refers to the other congregation on the Tohickon, namely Keller’s Church, which had been for years an ob- ject of Muhlenberg’s solicitude and care.** Rapp himself has left us a record of the dedication of the Tohickon stone church: “Anno 1766, May 8th, on Ascension Day, our newly-built stone church was publicly dedicated by myself and Mr. Alsenz, as the Re- formed representative. I took as my text I Kings, VIII, vs. 28 and 29, and gave her the name ‘templum pacis’ or Peace Church (Fried- 10 See Hallesche Nachrichten, I, 268; Jubilee Volume, Norristown Con- ference, p. 246. 11 Moreover, it is unlikely that it took three years to build a stone church at Tohickon, 1763-1766. The correct inference from the diary of Muhlenberg is, that a stone church was built at Keller’s in 1763. Tohickon Lutheran Church. 347 enskirche). The text of the Reformed preacher was from Isaiah 56, v. 7, the last words. Testor Philipp Henry Rapp.” After Rapp left Tohickon in 1772 he probably served some neighboring congregation. The Tohickon congregation then seems to have been without a pastor for several years. In the minutes of the Ministerium for the year 1772 (p. 131) it is stated that “the remaining vacant congregations on the Tohecka,” cannot at present be cared for. This no doubt refers to Tohickon. Rapp resided in Nockamixon township, where he had purchased a farm probably in 1774. He made his will July 12, 1779, which was probated November 8, 1779. Hence he died shortly before the latter date. Muhlenberg records in his dairy, under date November 10, 1779, that Rapp had committed suicide. H. N., I, 591.) As the will of Rapp throws an interesting light on the membership of his family we insert it in full. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF PHILIP HENRY RAPP, July 12, 1779. In the name of the Lord, Amen!

James Hanna, Register. On May 15, 1787, his son; Philip Henry Rapp, Jr., exe- cuted a power-of-attorney as the only surviving heir of his deceased father, by which he appointed John George Ober- muller, of Neuwied, Germany, to be his attorney to recover all goods. dues and accounts coming to him from the estate of his grandfather, the Rev. Godfrey Rapp, of Sulz, in Lower Alsace, near Strassburg. This document is recorded in the recorder’s office at Doylestown, Bucks county. It proves that Rapp came from a ministerial family. The Rapp family tradition is that Rev. Philip Henry Rapp, emigrated from Sulz arriving America during 1750; that he located in Nockamixon township, where later he 350 The Pennsylvania-German Society. bought a farm; that he died on this homestead and was buried thereon. In 1893, his descendants erected a granite monument over his grave, which was unveiled on August 18th of that year, with appropriate ceremonies and a Rapp family reunion. This monument states that he died No- vember 10, 1779, which is evidently wrong, as his will was probated November 8, 1779. The power-of-attorney referred to above (a fragment of the original of which in German is in the hands of the writ- er), States that Philip Henry Rapp, Jr., was the only surviv- ing heir of his father, but the family tradition says that he had three sons, one Philip Henry, Jr., one son who died young, and George who was born shortly after his father’s death. Just why the document makes no mention of this posthumous son does not appear, but the family claims that he, George, became the founder of the Society of Harmon- ites of Economites at Economy, Beaver county, Pa.’? In re- cent years the Rapp family has laid claim to the property and assets of that society, which they say is valued at $10,- 000,000. Mrs. Rapp, widow of Rev. Philip Henry Rapp, afterwards married a Mr. Miller by whom she had children. Philip Henry Rapp, Jr., was a soldier of the Revolution, he lies buried in an unmarked grave in the Nockamixon Church burying-ground. 42 This claim of the family cannot be sustained in the light of well authenticated history. According to the article ‘“‘Rappists’” in M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Lit- erature, New York, 1894 (Vol. VIII, 911-13) the society of the Harmonites was founded by George Rapp, who was born at Iptingen, Wurtemberg, in October 1757. That was seven years after Philip Henry Rapp, Sr., had arrived in Pennsylvania. In 1803, George Rapp, accompanied by his son John and two other adherents, came to America. Within a year he was followed by 600 persons, who on Febr. 15, 1805, organized themselves into the ‘“‘“Harmony Society’. They had settled on 5000 acres of wild land, in the valley of the Conoquenessing, about 25 miles north of Pittsburg. This location did not suit them. Hence, after moving about for some time, they finally located along the Ohio river, near Pittsburg, where they built “Economy”. See also the more recent article ““Communistic So- cieties” in Hastings, Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics. Tohickon Lutheran Church. 351 VI. MINISTRY OF REV. CONRAD ROELLER, 1774-1795. In 1773, Indianfield and Tohickon petitioned the Minis- terium for a preacher, “who would suit their conditions, be- cause they do not as yet have a parsonage and can raise only a small salary.” (Minutes, p. 141.) It was then resolved that the minister of Old Goshenhoppen should visit these congregations. (p. 142.) As a result we find a new pastor at Tohickon March 1774, in the person of Conrad Roeller. He was born in Ger- many, educated in the University of Erlangen (H. N., II, 735), and came to this country in the year 1770, well sup- plied with excellent testimonials. He was cordially received by Muhlenberg, who at first made him his assistant at Philadelphia. Later, with Frederick A. C. Muhlenberg, he was sent to the congregations in the vicinity of Lebanon, Pa., (H. N., II, 104) and in 1772 became pastor at Old Goshen- hoppen and Indianfield. At Old Goshenhoppen his bap- tismal entries begin February 16, 1772, at Indianfield April 20, 1772. At Tohickon he did not begin to enter baptisms till March 1774. On June 12, 1774, he signed the financial statement for the first time. Sometime afterwards the three congregations constituting the parish united in buying a piece of land containing 160 acres near Tylersport, where Mr. Roeller settled and resided.1* He ministered to his people till 1795. On July 5, 1795, he entered his last bap- tisms both at Tohickon and at Indianfield. He probably retired at this time because of advancing age. Roeller was highly respected by Muhlenberg. In a re- port, dated October 31, 1778, Muhlenberg reports him as pastor at Old Goshenhoppen, Indianfield and Tohickon and then he adds: “He adorns his teaching with a Christian 18 Jubilee Volume, p. 248. 352 The Pennsylvania-German Society. life and is feared and loved by all, who show Christian feeling.” H.N., IH, 735.) and Again, in another report, dated December 6, 1782, Muhlenberg writes about Roeller: “He adorns the Christian doctrine with an edifying life” (H. N., II, 741). On May 31, 1795, and following days, Roeller attended for the last time the meeting of the Luth- eran Ministerium. He died in June 1799 and was buried under the altar of the Indianfield Church. Roeller was the first Lutheran pastor, of Tohickon, who during his pas- torate there was a member of the Ministerium. Up to the year 1772 the congregation and its ministers had been in- dependent. VII. MINISTRY OF REV. FREDERICK WILLIAM GEISSENHAINER, 1795-1798. A new pastorate began at Tohickon in November 1795, when Frederick William Geissenhainer entered his first bap- tism. He was born at Muelheim on the Ruhr, then in the Duchy of Berg, now in the Rhineprovince, on June 26, 1771 (H. N., I, 267). He studied three years at the Uni- versity of Giessen and two at Goettingen. Then he taught for two years as “Privatdozent”™* at the latter university. In 1793, he went to Philadelphia with his brother, Henry Geissenhainer. Induced to visit Goshenhoppen and Trum- bauer’s churches, he was called as their pastor. In June 1794, these congregations applied to the Ministerium for his reception as a member. Accordingly he was recognized as a licensed candidate in 1794. In 1798, he is mentioned in the minutes as an ordained minister. (Minutes, p. 297.) He stayed at New Goshenhoppen and Swamp (New Provi- 14 The position of ‘‘Privatdozent’’ corresponds to the instructor in an American university, with this difference, that the Privatdozent receives no salary from the university, but only the fees of the students who at- tend his lectures. Tohickon Lutheran Church. 353 dence) till 1808. It was during this time that Geissen- hainer preached at Tohickon and Indianfield. At the for- mer place his baptisms begin on November 29, 1795, and continue till June 17, 1797. On June 15, 1796, he signed a financial statement at Tohickon, which definitely proves his presence there. In the Indianfield record his baptisms ex- tend from August 23, 1795, to April 17, 1797. In Tohickon he continued as a supply till May 1798, until, as he states in the record, “George Roeller has finished his studies.” While at Goshenhoppen Geissenhainer married Anna Maria, daughter of Michael Reiter, one of his elders. He had six children, one of whom became a prominent Luther- an minister, the Rev. Dr. F. W. Geissenhainer. In 1808, Geissenhainer was called to New York City, where he min- istered till 1814. In the latter year he resigned the New York church to go for a number of years on a farm in Clearfield county, Pennsylvania. In 1818, he moved to Chester county, where he supplied several churches until 1823, when he returned to his former congregation in New York City. Here he labored till his death, May 27, 1838. Mr. Geissenhainer was a man of great learning and ability and as a result had much influence in the church. He edu- cated a number of young men for the ministry, among others was John George Roeller, the son of his predecessor and also his own successor at Tohickon. In 1826, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania conferred the title of D.D. upon him.*® On August 20, 1797, a new hand appears in the Tohickon record which entered six baptisms on that date. The same hand appears also in the Indianfield record, beginning August 6, 1797, and continuing till December 1797, making in all thirteen entries over that time. As the “Hallesche Nachrichten” (I, 269) state that in 1797 August Henry 15 See the sketch of his life in Sprague, Annals of the American Pulpit, Vol. IX, (1869), pp. 104-6. 354 The Pennsylvania-German Society. Schmidt was pastor at Tohickon, it is tempting to identify the author of these entries in 1797 with Mr. Schmidt. There are, however, a number of difficulties in the way. In the first place, the ““Hallesche Nachrichten” state that Schmidt arrived in Tohickon in 1795, but, as we have seen, Geissen- hainer was entering baptisms into the Tohickon record from 1795-1797. His signature in June 1796 proves his pres- ence there. Moreover, it is stated that Schmidt was preach- ing at two places, Tohickon and Springfield. But the man who entered the baptisms in August 1797 at Tohickon was also preaching at Indianfield, as is shown by the same chirography there. Again, Schmidt refers to his predeces- sor as a man who was no theologian, for he was unable to learn the Latin declensions and the Greek alphabet. This cannot apply to Conrad Roeller. And finally, Schmidt states that his two congregations had never been in con- nection with the Ministerium. This could not be said of Tohickon, for Conrad Roeller had been for many years a member of the Ministerium. All this leads us to conclude that the congregation served by Schmidt is not identical with the Tohickon, whose record we publish. This is sup- ported by the minutes of the Ministerium, which in 1795 report Conrad Roeller as serving Old Goshenhoppen, In- dianfield and Tohecke (p. 278), while in the same year the vacant congregations of Springfield and at “Tohick” were to be offered by Mr. Helmuth to a certain Mr. Quitman, who had just arrived from the Danish West Indies (p. 280). All this shows once more that there were two Luth- eran congregations at the Tohickon creek, one the congre- gation now known as Tohickon, the other Keller’s Church. The records of the latter show that Schmidt was preceded _ by Anthony Hecht, a former schoolmaster, to whom the de- scription of Schmidt applies. However, it is possible that Schmidt, being pastor at the neighboring Keller’s Church, did pay Tohickon and Indian- Tohickon Lutheran Church. 355 field occasional visits in the year 1797, and thus supplied them for a short time. In 1796, Schmidt asked to be received into the Minis- terium, but his request was refused until more could be learned about his character. (Minutes, p. 286.) In 1798, Schmidt went to Easton, where he remained pastor of the Lutheran congregation there till 1801. While at that place he made another attempt to be admitted into the Minister- ium, but in 1802 the later definitely declined to have any- thing with him. (Minutes, p. 329.) He lies buried in the cemetery attached to the Indianfield church.'* VIII. MINISTRY OF REV. JOHN GEORGE ROELLER, 1798-1840. In March 1798, a new Lutheran pastor began his activity at Tohickon. It was John George Roeller, the son of the former pastor, Conrad Roeller. His father himself entered his birth and baptism into the Indianfield record. He was born May 16th and baptized May 25, 1775. In 1798, Indian- field, Old Goshenhoppen and Tohickon requested that Mr. Roeller be received into the Ministerium (Minutes, p. 301). As a result he was examined and placed as a catechist under the supervision of Mr. Fr. Geissenhainer (Minutes, p. 302), under whom he had studied. In 1799, Roeller was licensed (p. 306), but he was not ordained till June 12, 1805 (p. 361). During his pastorate the present church was built in 1837, at a cost of $3,000. He remained pastor at Tohickon for forty-two years, till his death, on March 27, 1840. One of his successors, the Rev. Frederick Waltz, entered the fol- lowing tribute to his predecessor into the record: “His faithful care in teaching the young through cate- chetical instruction found special recognition.” "16 See Jubilee Volume, p. 94. 350 The Pennsylvania-German S ociety. Mr. Roeller lies buried in the Indianfield graveyard, be- hind the church in which he preached, with a long German epitaph on his tombstone, of which the following is a translation: Here rest the bones of the Reverend John George Roeller Evangelical Lutheran minister. He was the son of the Rev. Conrad Roeller. He was born May 16th, 1775. After the death of his reverend father He took his place as minister and Held this office till his death He entered upon his ministry in the year 1798 And served his three congregations, Tohickon, Old Goshenhoppen and Indianfield, and this with the divine assistance and grace for a period of forty-two years. He was first married to Magdalena Wembold, on July 19th, 1798. He was widowed on July 31st, 1803. He married a 2nd time, to the now surviving Sarah Raudenbusch, widow, née Himmelreich, on June 18th 1805. In his first marriage he had three children, in the second five children. He died March 27, 1840, his age being 64 years, 10 months and 11 days. His funeral text was: Gospel of John, chap. 7, v. 24. His first wife, Magdalena Wembold, was born Septem- ber 7, 1779, died July 19, 1798. His second wife, Sarah Himmelreich, was born May 29, 1783, died October 28, 1856.

Algart Jacob Lutz On p. 17 of the reverse of the book, Rev. F. Walz entered the following note regarding the death of Rev. George Roeller: “Pastor George R6ller died after a short illness on March 17, 1840, aged 75 years, after having been for about 43 years pastor of the three united congregations. His faithful care in teaching the young through catechetical instruction found special recognition, as was also true of his father, the Rev. Conrad Roller, who came from Germany. The funeral sermon of Rey. G. Roller was preached by Rev. Henry Schiller, from the text John 17:24.” [FINANCIAL STATEMENT.] [In the rear of the book are a series of financial statements, cov- ering the years 1766-1839.] p.l. “Anno 1766, the 16th of January, the financial account of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which had been omitted for four 436 The Pennsylvania-German Society. years, was rendered in the parsonage, in the presence of us the sub- scribers.

Philip Hering Leonard Mayer Anno 1766, the 8th of May, on the festival of the Ascension, our newly built stone church was publicly dedicated through me and Mr. Alsentz, as the Reformed representative. I took as my text I Kings VIII, vs. 28 and 29 and gave her the name templum pacis or Peace Church. The text of the Reformed preacher was from Isaiah LVI, v. 7, the last words. Testor, Philip Henry Rapp. p. 2, 1767, on the III Sunday after Trinity the financial statement was entered by Ludwig Benner. Today, the 2nd of July, [1768] the assembled congregation made a rule that in future only such shall be regarded as true and right- ful members of this church who annually have their names in- seribed as contributors to the support of the congregation. 1770, July 1, the financial account was rendered by the treasurer, Philip Schreier. : The following men served as treasurers of the alms accounts: 1766—Nicholas Weigel 1767—Ludwig Benner 1768—Ludwig Benner 1769—Philip Schreyer 1770— . 1773—Jacob Jost 1774Jacob Jost 1775—Philip Schreier 1776—Andrew Schneider 1777—Nicholas Beringer 1779—Nicholas Beringer 1780—Philip Herpel 1781—Philip Herpel 1790—John Keller 1796—John Hinkel and Jacob ‘Allum 1797—Frederick Koenig 1798—John Benner 1799—John Benner, John Hinkel, Jacob Lutz 1800— . 1801—John Hinkel 1802—Jacob Lutz 1803—John Benner 1804—John Benner 1805—Conrad Herbel Tohickon Lutheran Records. 437 1806—Andrew Grauthamel 1822— . . 1807—Andrew Grauthamel 1824— , 1808—Andrew Grauthamel 1825— .... 1809—Andrew Grauthamel 1826—Jacob Merckel 1815—Andrew Grauthamel 1827—Jacob Merkel 1816—Andrew Grauthamel 1835—John Keller 1817—Michael Lutz 1836—John Keller 1818—Michael Lutz 1837—John Keller 1819—Michael Lutz 1838—Jacob Alm 1820—Michael Lutz 1839— . ... 1821—Michael Lutz A few statements in the financial accounts are of interest: On December 8, 1776, it is reported that “all the debts resting on the church are now paid off.” On May 11, 1794, Rev. Conrad Roeller reports: “At the beginning of my ministry the congregation still owed a large amount on the church, and then the church farm was bought. The alms were at all times used for church purposes. But now the church and the church farm are paid. Hence there remained of this year’s account the sum of two pounds, eleven shillings and 8 pence. On June 15, 1796, the account is signed by Fr. Geissenhainer, then a supply. A statement made on July 9, 1797, records the fact that the salary for the year 1796, had been paid to Mr. Geissenhainer in full. Rev. Philip Henry Rapp signed his first account on Jan. 13, 1766, the last on the 5th Sunday after Trinity 1771. Rev. Conrad Roeller signed his first account on June 12, 1774, the last on May 11, 1794. Rev. Fr. Geissenhainer signed an account on June 15, 1796. Rev. George Roeller signed his first account on July 9, 1797, his last on July 31, 1839. Names of the Catechumens for the year 1826.

RECORDS OF THE TOHICKON UNION CHURCH INDEX OF FAMILY NAMES In studying these church records, please note that the same family name often occurs more than once on the same page, in fact one page contains the same family name twelve times. These family names have been translated by Dr. Hinke and recorded with all their variations exactly as they appear on the records. As will be seen the spelling varies greatly, the same names often being spelled several different ways by the same dominie on the same page of his original record, in one instance the same family name is spelled twenty-two different ways. It must however be borne in mind that these early dominies were Germans, and therefore the German language to a great extent controlled their spelling, and moreover they often recorded the names as they sounded to them phonetically. The genealogist should not be guided by the spelling of family names as they appear on any old church record, for often all such spelling may be wrong. Tombstone inscriptions are more likely to have the family name spelled correctly. To determine the correct way of spelling family names, original signatures should be examined, or if of German or Swiss origin, the immigrant lists on file in the library at Harrisburg should be consulted. These immi- grant lists have been translated and published by Prof. Rupp in his “Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants”, and also appear in the Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. XVII, but many errors have crept in both of these translations. The Pennsylvania German Society is considering the question of having photoprints made of all immigrant lists on file at Harrisburg, and having them carefully edited for publication in its proceedings.
