I’ve always been somewhat fascinated with my Beery relatives.  All of my feelings for them came from my father.  I never knew them ... they passed on before I was born.

My father had an unhappy early childhood.  He was born in 1919, so the impact of the great depression of the early 1930’s made a big impression on him.  Times were bad for so many ... food, clothing and shelter were scarce ... and the dusty winds blew terribly during the hot, dry summers of Kansas and Oklahoma in the “dust bowl” days.  His mother (Ruth Estelle Beery) had been his “rock”.  She seemed to be the only good thing in his life at the time and she passed away in 1932 at the depths of the depression..  He loved her very much.

But he had his Beery grandparents to nurture him.  He remembered some of the most pleasurable times of his life were the visits to his grandparents home as a youngster of 4, 5 and 6 years old in Geuda Springs, Kansas.  His grandfather owned a general store and he remembers how the food smelled to him.  The coffee, sausages, cookies, baked breads, etc.   His grandmother would bake fresh bread every weekend and he could have thick slices with butter and homemade jellies and jams.

As he grew, his grandfather taught him to be a good man, to be responsible for his family, to find a good woman and cherish her as his wife.  His grandfather became his ideal role model for what a man should be.

I owe the Beery’s much because of how they helped my dad.  He became a great success in life and family and passed on the wonderful traits he learned to his own children.

INTRODUCTION

 

 

The Beery family originated in Berne, one of the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland, where the name is spelled Bieri. This Bernese family name has been mentioned in documents of Switzerland since long before the Reformation period of the early 1500’s. The home region o£ the Bieri family was in the remote rural section of Berne between the flat lands and the Alps, called “Mennonite Corner” by some Bernese historians. The eight townships of which Bieri folk were citizens long ago (with what is called home right or right of citizenship) were Buchholterberg, Langnau, Lauperswil, Schangnau, Signau, and Trachselwald of the Emmenthal (noted today for it’s cheese), Darstetten in the Simmenthal, and Pohlern in the Thun district.

 

Berne has been a “melting pot.” Celtic people, with mostly a Roman Culture, and remainders of still older populations of other extractions, were living in Berne when the Allemanni, a Germanic people, settled there early in the fifth century A.D. The culture and language of Berne have been Allemannic for centuries, but from the racial point of view, typical Germanic features are rather rare in Bernese territory. This melting pot produced a stubbornly independent people with a characteristic self-confidence which has served to fortify the individual industriousness.

 

All Bieri’s (Beery’s) no doubt have a common root as offspring of one Bieri, believed to be a man named Peter who was first called Bieri in fun, for a nickname (derived from Pierre, the French for his name, with the Swiss diminutive “I” added like the English “Y” in Petey). The name remained and became the Bernese surname Bieri. Many Swiss surnames those derived from personal names are the oldest. The Bieri family name does not come from the name of the beverage, beer (bier in German). Beer was unknown in Switzerland before the end of the Seventeenth century.

Many variations in spelling the family name are found in the old records, both in Switzerland and in America. In the seventeenth century in the state of Berne, grade school was already compulsory, but, of the “three R’s” usually only reading was taught. Many people learned writing from private instruction, and some farmer folk were able to write a few words and, of course, their names, as early as the seventeenth century. But most of the records were written by ministers or clerks who wrote “following the ear,” and sometimes very carelessly. Several spellings might be used in the same account of one person.

 

The same given names were used in all of the old-time families, mostly Biblical names such as Abraham, Daniel, Peter, John, Jacob, and Samuel, or old saints’ names from Catholic times in Switzerland, as Barbara Margaret, Nicholas, Caspar. Old records of Bieri’s in the canton of Berne include Hans (John), Peter, Caspar, Claus (Nicholas), Daniel, Ulli (Ulrich), Isaac, Barbara, Trini (Catherine), Margrieta. Especially in a remote rural district such as the home region of the Bieri family, in speaking a person’s name the family name was said first and the Christian name second, as Bieri Claus or Bieri Hans.

 

So-called family coats-of-arms were a purely personal matter in Switzerland, except in some cities where they belonged more or less to the standard of living and were in some way controlled by authorities. In many regions the use of coats-of-arms was never popular. Mennonites did not care for them, considering them worldly.

Nearly four years ago I decided to bring the 1911 Beery History up to date by adding another four generations. It seemed so simple a job but soon became a major task. Each family called for an explanation of who they were, this led to early history research, then research int. other early families of the community who were so closely interwoven with the Beery’s. Many letters had to be sent, some not answered. The early ancestor stories have to be condensed from the 1957 Beery History with many thanks to Judith Beery Garber, the author, who let me copy from her book and has given advice, help and encouragement along the way.

 

The story of Page County is important in this bi-Centennial year of 1976. The early arrivals came from Adams County, Ind. in the year 1856. The families I know of were Peter Beery, who settled where Willard Blessing lives south of Shambaugh and William Konkel, who settled where Lowell Davison lives on highway 71 south of Shambaugh. The community as it grew up through the years ,was the town of Shambaugh and the Butler school with Butler cemetery beside it.  In 1862 the Joseph L. Beery family came to Page County and settled in East River Township first place east of the Kenneth Williams farm. In 1864 the Goods, Hornings and Hoffmans came establishing the Mennonite church.  Shambaugh became a center for these plain dressed, black broad-brimmed hat and farming people. 1867 brought the Abraham Huddle family, Mrs. Huddle was a sister of Peter Beery, they settled near him on the present Arnold Brown farm.  Also in this wagon train of eight was Magdalene Hamm Beery, the widow of Daniel B. Beery, brother of Peter Beery and Mary Huddle,  She settled east of the Butler cemetery nearer highway 71.  So the years have passed and many descendants of these people still live in the Shambaugh and Clarinda area with many different names. Many migrated to other places and made settlements, some staying, some moving on such as Frontier Co., Nebr., places in Colorado, Idaho and California,  Also Oregon and Washington.

 

I call this the Page County Beery’s as there needed to be a special point to work from, there are connections who never lived near Page Co. but their interest has made them welcome in this book.

 

Much of the Page County information, especially the four Townships around Shambaugh, are general taking int. consideration the change of times.  Such as the Fulk farm north of Shambaugh.  In earlier years it was Shambaugh Post Office, Shambaugh telephone, Linn Point grade school and Clarinda High School. Today it has a Clarinda address, Clarinda telephone,  South Page School, grade at Braddyville and High School at College Springs.  Other families have the same changes so their information is as it was at the time they lived it.  I’ve used section numbers on the map to place the families since “near” Shambaugh or Clarinda takes in a considerable amount of territory.

 

This book could not have been done without help.  Lois Brown Miller has gathered the Joseph L. Beery family, visited many where I could not and the whole book has been with her help and knowledge of her vast family.  Ed and Peggy Dick of the Decatur, Ind. family (who the Page County families left behind), Earl Good collecting his entire family,  Lois and Ruth Smith of Salem, Mo. with their help on the Kunkels and many, many others sending their own information and adding stories of others.

GUIDE

 

The book has been arranged for easy identification. Nicholas Beery, Sr., the immigrant is considered the first and has no number. His children are numbered and carry that number through the book, Abraham 4 (which is Part I) and Nicholas 6 (Part II and Part III).

The main guide should be the opposite page which shows how the family lines up. The numbers are the number of children in each family and where a name is recorded the number is the position in the family, these numbers are carried throughout the book.

Each family is carried 1n place, one generation following another. The numbers at length are each generation to the present time, such as:

 

 

Nicholas                                             6

          Beery, Jr.                                   6th child of Nicholas, Sr.

 

Jacob                                                 6-3

          Beery                                        3rd child of Nicholas Jr.

 

Abraham D.                                         6-3-2

          Beery                                        2nd child of Jacob

 

Peter B.                                              6-3-2-2

          Beery                                        2nd child of Abraham

 

Barbara Beery                                     6-3-2-2-7

          Fulk                                          7th child of Peter

 

Edward                                               6-3-2-2-7-5

          Fulk                                          5th child of Barbara

 

Marvin                                                6-3-2-2-7-5-6

          Fulk                                          6th child of Ed

 

    Each part is divided by families giving the page on which it begins.  The families within are further divided by capital letter headings. Generation will be carried out by indented numbers with sometimes four generations to a page.

    The write-ups are arranged in this order: number, name, birth, education, occupation, church, other organizations, wartime experience, other experiences, special interests, heirlooms, address or death.  The record of the spouse follows that of the Beery descendant, in the same paragraph.

    For families who have lived and at present live in the townships of Harlan, East River, Amity and Buchanan will have the section number and quarter to place the residence, using the map on page 332.

Page numbers will be given to direct information. 

The family write-ups beginning on page 333 will help make connection

to the Beery’s in this book.

 

REUNION

 

At the present time a Beery reunion and picnic is held each year the last Sunday in July at the Lake of Three Fires State Park in Taylor County, Iowa, near Bedford. All Beery’s are welcome.

BACKGROUND

 

The story begins in Switzerland, where long before the Reformation the Swiss separatists were persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church because they believed in a free church disassociated from the priesthood and political authority.  They were called Anabaptists or Wiedertäufer (re-baptizers) in reproach.  The Anabaptist movement become widespread at the time of the Reformation and from that time the Swiss Anabaptists, who called themselves Brethren and were later known as Mennonites, were persecuted for their beliefs by the Reformed church and the Swiss Civil Authorities.

 

The Mennonites based their religious views on the teachings of the New Testament as interpreted by the individual conscience, upholding the right of dissent. They believed that there should be no exercise of force in religion, and that this principle of non-coercion required baptism upon confession of faith rather than of infants; refusal of military service - since love must rule, war is un-Christian; refusal to take oaths, believing in the sanctity of a man’s word; and abstaining from the holding of public office, though magistrates were to be obeyed in all things not prohibited by Scripture. These beliefs, coupled with their conviction that the church and state should be separate and their unwillingness to conform to the practices of the established church, brought upon them a vicious persecution.

 

Persecution of the Mennonites in Switzerland reached its height in Berne and during the period from 1671 to 1711. Many of the exiles from Berne settled along the Rhine in the Palatinate of Germany. Here they became a tolerated people with fewer rights than the Jews because they refused to adhere to any of the established churches - Catholic, Lutheran or Reformed. They were not allowed to have public worship, marriage with non-Mennonites, trades closed to their children, use of burial grounds denied and paid protection money as well as taxed. By 1726 many had made their way to the New World where William Penn had offered refuge in Pennsylvania to the distressed. 

 

Their journey took them first down the Rhine River by boat to Holland. The Mennonites there were wealthy and helped their Swiss friends prepare for the long ocean voyage. The trip across the Atlantic was hazardous, full of discomforts, suffering, disease and death. In 1710 a group of Swiss Mennonites had arrived in Philadelphia and had gone on into the forest, sixty miles to the west to establish a settlement on Pequea Creek in an area then called Conestoga.  This was the first permanent white settlement in what is now Lancaster Co.  In 1717 the largest group yet to arrive caused an additional 5000 A. to be added to the original 5000.  By 1727 the second largest immigration arrived, probably because of a ruling by the Court Palatine that the Mennonites would not be allowed to buy or sell.  The Swiss  Mennonite pioneers were hardy rural people who took a serious view of the responsibilities of life, found joy in labor, and were known for their agricultural skill which converted the unbroken forest into the richest agricultural community in the United States.  Earnest and industrious, they were outstanding farmers.  In clearing the forest, instead of leaving the stumps to rot away, they grubbed them out by the roots.  Their fields were virtually as ready for cultivation the second year as they were twenty years later.  While other farmers left their grain in the fields the Swiss stored theirs in huge barns known as “Swisser” barns to this day.  They used “contour” farming, running spring water through troughs cut in the hillsides and dammed up at the other ends so that the water would spill out over the ground. Of their horses and cattle they took

special care. Such industry did not go unrewarded.  Their community prospered and grew. And as it grew, some of the people pushed on to clear and develop new land.

 

The Mennonites shared this territory with another religious group of Germans who were also of the “plain people” and came to be known in this country as the German Baptist Brethren or, colloquially, as Dunkers or Dunkards.  The name officially chosen in 1908 was Church of the Brethren.  The Dunkers had originated in Germany in 1708 and, like the Mennonites, were victims of persecution and immigrated to Pennsylvania, chiefly in the years 1719 and 1729. Their religious views closely paralleled those of the Mennonites, and so the two groups lived in the same area with congeniality.  Pennsylvania Dutch became the spoken language of these people for many generations, and German was the only written language for several generations.

 

With the Quakers, religious dissenters like themselves, with other settlers and with the Indians they lived in peace until the Revolution brought persecution anew upon the Mennonites, Brethren and the Quakers as well, who believed all war was wrong.  They would not associate with the Associators who had formed themselves into military companies for general defense.  After the state constitution of 1776 was adopted, the state militia was organized and a fine of “three shillings and six pence for each and every parade day appointed” was to be imposed on “all able-bodied effective male white persons capable of bearing arms, not associators, between the ages of sixteen and fifty years who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military”.  The Mennonites and the Brethren had to pay fines for not answering muster.

 

A property tax, called an “effective supplies tax”, was levied by the Assembly in 1781; under the terms of the act every property holder was required to make a sworn return of all his taxable property.  For those who refused to comply with the terms of the act, the tax was doubled - a favorite device of the Whig authorities.  This double taxation naturally fell heavily on the Mennonites and the Brethren who refused to “swear”’ to anything.  Those refusing to take an oath were called “non-jurors”.

 

Despite these adversities the Mennonites and the Brethren continued to prosper and made a great contribution to the development of southeastern Pennsylvania.  Always on the lookout for new opportunity, many of the children and grandchildren of the pioneers emigrated to Virginia where land was cheaper and larger farms could be had for their money.  They needed large farms for their large families.  They settled in great numbers in Rockingham County and also in what is now Shenandoah County.  They believed it wrong to hold slaves, though the practice was popular in Virginia.

 

Soon after the turn of the nineteenth century the Mennonites and the Brethren began emigrating to Ohio, which was admitted to the Union in 1803 as a free state.  In the ensuing years, as the West became settled, Mennonites and Brethren were a part of that vast emigration and are now to be found across the whole of America.

HISTORICAL ERROR

 

Several historical errors found in previous volumes are corrected in the “Beery Family History” of 1957.  Joseph H. Wenger published two volumes, “History of the Descendants of Abraham Beery” (1905) and “History of the Descendants of Nicholas Beery” (1911).  Careful study of Wenger’s genealogy disclosed discrepancies in the relationships.  He stated that Abraham Beery was Abraham Beer, the immigrant of 1736, and that Abraham was a brother of Nicholas Beery, the immigrant of 1727.  Lengthy research established this was not the case. Investigations made by Byron A. Beery led to the discovery that Nicholas Beery had lived and died in York County, Pennsylvania.  Among the records of that County Judith Beery Garber found old documents which prove that Abraham Beery was a son of Nicholas, the immigrant of 1727, rather than his brother. Hence Abraham Beery was not Abraham Beer, the immigrant of 1736.

    

Since the documents show that Abraham Beery was a son of Nicholas rather than his brother, all of the families recorded in the two Wenger histories are descendants of Nicholas Beery the immigrant of 1727. The old documents of York County show that Nicholas had nine children altogether (see pp 12).  These documents show that Abraham’s wife was Elizabeth and the wife of Nicholas, Jr., was Mary.  In the Wenger accounts the wives names were reversed.

  

(The above information from 1957 Beery Family History - Judith Beery Garber).

    

New information found since 1957 places the children of Nicholas the immigrant in new positions,  Abraham as the 4th child and Nicholas as 6 (see page 12).  This from Charles H. Starr - for the Hunsaker organization.  Other “new” corrections are used as the data is recorded and not to be confused with the 1905, 1911 and 1957 Beery Histories.

NICHOLAS BEERY SR., THE IMMIGRANT 1727.

NICHOLAS BEERY (BIERI), b 1697 (probably) Canton of Berne, Switzerland. The home area of his family was in the Upper Emmenthal, where lived many Mennonites. It is probable that Nicholas and his parents John and Catharina Bieri were among those who were driven out of Berne during the period of severe persecution prior to 1711 and found refuge in the Palatinate (Germany).  It is possible that Nicholas was born in the Palatinate. At any rate, he no doubt grew up there; Like virtually all of the Swiss Mennonites, he was a farmer. Nicholas possessed the extraordinary Industry and skill in agriculture for which the Swiss Mennonites were noted. Nicholas, at his death, had been an unusually prosperous farmer shown by the appraisal of his possessions.

Nicholas immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1727 on the ship FRIENDSHIP, the last of five ships to arrive from Rotterdam that year, carrying one hundred fifty Swiss Mennonite families which had, in the spring of the year, made the long journey down the Rhine to Holland. After leaving Holland, the FRIENDSHIP met with adverse winds and required four months to make the voyage.  The hardships for those on board were so great that a fifth of the passengers died at sea. The FRIENDSHIP finally arrived at Philadelphia on October 16, 1727.

As a member of the second largest group of Swiss Mennonites to follow the original group of 1710 to the Pequea Creek settlement in Conestoga (now Lancaster County), Nicholas doubtless spent his first winter among his fellow countrymen there.  The area was still a part of Chester County, one of the three original counties of Pennsylvania.  By the time Nicholas arrived, land in this area had been largely taken up.  In 1728 the Mennonites started taking advantage of the opening up of territory west of the Susquehanna River in what is now York County, when settlement was first authorized by the Pennsylvania proprietors in a tract called Springettsbury Manor.  This was a strip of land extending west of the Susquehanna from near the mouth of Kreutz Creek to the Codorus Valley and the area west of the present city of York.

The settlers traveled to their destination west of the Susquehanna by covered wagon (“Conestoga” wagons were a product of these Penna. Germans and have been referred to as the “ships of inland commerce”).  In the wagons were the belongings which the immigrants had been able to bring with them from Europe, the essential implements of agriculture, seeds, household articles, large iron-bound chests filled with homespun’s and some of the most important household utensils, and their precious Bibles and other books.  Most of the settlers had some money.

Heavy timber covered most of the region, with occasional meadows and swamps.  Beside a spring to insure a good water supply, the settler built his first home - a hastily built cabin made to do until some land could be gotten under cultivation.  Nicholas settled on the north bank of Codorus Creek, a mile or so north of the present city of York, in the area that became Manchester Township in 1742, one of the most fertile and productive townships of York County.   In 1729, Springettsbury Manor was included with Lancaster Co. when that, the 4th Penna. Co., was organized and separated from Chester County. York Co. was not erected until 1749.

Died Oct. 1, 1762, York Co., pa., it may be assumed that he was a still vigorous man and died unexpectedly as he left no will; m Dec. 1, 1728, Lancaster Co., Pa., BARBARA MILLER, (da Michael Jeremiah George and Magdalena Miller); d Dec. 2, 1791, York Co., pa.; (m (2) Nov. 17) 1766,  Jacob Kagy).

5. CATHARINA BEERY, b East Manchester Twp., York Co., Penna.; m before 1767, JOHN BLASSER; Farmer, York Co. and neighbor of Catharina’s brother-in-law, John Forry.

6. NICHOLAS BEERY, JR., b June 16, 1739, East Manchester Twp., York Co. Penna.; Farmer, owned land in Shrewsbury Twp.; For the years 1777 and 1778 was listed. as a private on the muster roll of the 7th Battalion of York Co. Militia organized under the state constitution of 1776 and commanded by Col. David Kennedy.  Nicholas and his brother Abraham were both listed in Capt. Ehrman’s unit from Shrewsbury Twp. which was then the 5th Co. of the 7th Battalion.  Their brother George was listed in Capt. John Miller’s unit of the 7th Battalion.  Nicholas, Abraham and George because of their religious principles of non-resistance, could not serve with the military forces and, for not answering muster, each was fined £3.10.0 as one of those “who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military”, in accordance with the resolves of the General assembly of Pennsylvania. Nicholas and his family emigrated in 1780 to Rockingham Co., Virginia and settled on Linville Creek, which was in the most fertile part of the county. Nicholas was deeded land in Rockingham County by John Eaton in July 1783, and by Thomas Moore in March 1785.  In the Rockingham County enumeration of 1784, Virginia state census, Nicholas was listed as head of a

family with ten “white souls”, one dwelling, and one other building.  For the personal property tax (sometimes called the “horse tax”), Nicholas was listed among the tithables (all males in the state above 16 years of age) as a “vocher” with 5 horses in 1788, owner of 240 acres in 1789, and a tithable with 5 horses in 1792, in the Linville Creek district.  A man’s wealth in those days was judged by the number of horses he had, and a “five-horse man” was considered quite wealthy.  Since the tax was based on the number of horses, they were generally limited by the farmers to the necessary minimum.  It has been said that Nicholas owned slaves in Virginia, however, no official record has been found of Nicholas’ having slaves.  At any rate, Nicholas sold his possessions in Virginia and with most of his large family, went to Ohio by “mountain schooner” in 1805 or a little earlier.  Once again they were among the pioneers who opened up a new territory and converted the primeval forest into fertile fields.  Nicholas purchased, at $2.00 per acre,. a large tract of wild timber land which embraced most of the western part of Rush Creek Township, Fairfield Co., Ohio and settled on Raccoon Creek.  There he built a sawmill and gristmill in 1806, the first in the township.  Nicholas gave each of his children a farm of about 160 acres from his large tract of the rich and productive soil of Rush Creek Township.  In 1834, Nicholas’ son George founded the town of Bremen in Rush Creek Township, on land that was said to be part of Nicholas’ large original purchase.  At the time of the centennial of Bremen in 1934, it was found that most people of the community were directly or indirectly related to the family of Nicholas Beery.  Nicholas died Feb. 16, 1812 in Fairfield Co., Ohio, and was buried in the Huddle or Mt. Zion cem. 2 mi. SE Berne on Houck Road.  Nicholas married (1) in Penna., MARY KELLER; Nicholas married (2) in 1789 in Virginia, Mrs. MARY (GROW) GOOD; b 1756 in Rockingham Co., and died Oct. 31, 1840 near Bremen, Ohio. 16 children: SEE PART II, SEE PART III.

7. MARGARET BEERY, b East Manchester Twp., York Co., Penna.; Margaret married (1) JOHN FORRY; Farmer in York Co. In 1782 had 300 A. and 2 horses, Margaret’s name appeared on the tax rolls in 1783 as John had died.  Margaret married (2) JACOB BURKHART of Manheim Twp., York Co., 8 chil: Jacob, John, Abraham, Elizabeth, Margaret, Daniel, Rudolph and Magdalena Forry. (all of first marriage).

8. SUSANNA BEERY, b East Manchester Twp., York Co., Penna.; m before 1767, JOHN BICKSLER; Farmer of York Co.; In 1781 taxed on 250 A., John was listed by the assessors in 1781 as a non-juror, and because his religious principles required that he refuse to take an oath in making his return for the property tax called an “effective supplies tax”, he was taxed double on his property. John died sometime before Aug. 16, 1796. 4 chil: Jacob, “Christly”, “Jose” and a dau., wife of John Bay.

9. GEORGE BEERY, b East Manchester Twp., York Co., Penna.; Farmer in York Co. owned land in Shrewsbury Twp.; George and his wife were members of the Codorus Church of the Brethren, records of 1770.  For military see Nicholas Jr. story. George married between 1767 and 1770.

————————————

 

Adams County, Indiana is located on the Indiana, Ohio border.  The County seat is Decatur, some 20 miles south of Ft. Wayne, Indiana.  This area is all farming country, the Beery’s and Goods came into the country when the land was opened for development.  They all settled west of Decatur in Kirkland and Washington Townships and attended the River Brethren Church where the Beery Cemetery is situated (3 mi. west of Decatur).

 

“The descendants of Jacob and Anna (Beery) Good have scattered throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and some western states.

 

Why all the children except Melinda Andrews moved out of Adams County is still a question unanswered.  Opportunity must have beckoned and the quest for further development in life, property and education must have been an incentive.  The Antioch or Beery church is still standing but is now abandoned.  The search for the old records of the church has been fruitless.  The cemetery adjoining the church is kept in beautiful condition due to the fact that the descendants of the persons buried there have formed a cemetery association to preserve this resting place.  Recently a chain-linked fence has been built to protect and preserve the cemetery.

 

The Antioch church was formerly called the River Brethren but in later years was taken over by the Missionary denomination. Many of the artifacts and furnishings of the church had been donated by the families and were taken to their respective homes when the church was closed.  A few years ago, a Baptist congregation used the church until their church was acquired.  During the cleanup process, several people brought back these furnishings for the new group to use.  Now that the church is again closed, the families of the old members have again reclaimed the artifacts.  What a story these things could tell if they could only talk.

 

History repeats itself as can be told by the extent of ministers, educators, teachers and farmers contained in these pages.  A good life and family interest is prevalent throughout this day and age”

Dutch Flat Hill

 

The Flumes are still

On Dutch Flat Hill

Where once the flow of gold, was steady,

The Hills resound

To ghostly sound

Of men whose hand and hearts were ready.

 

Two lone pines guard the Diggins

Where the yellow gold, once flowed

With roaring avalanche

Flint and flail

Or so the story’s told.

 

Beyond the ridge

Are ghostly trails

Where whitened bones but tell the story, Where Jackals stay

That barred the way,

Of men who failed to reap the glory.

 

Yet on yon plateau

An astreal burns,

For those who knew, realization;

But in a quiet spot below

Church bells toll

That all men know, a common Destination.

 

The eager hordes

Who came that day,

Like the roll of drums, have faded away,

And only the silent

Scepters stay

To remind us, of another day.

 

But in the Hamlet

Sleeping there,

The pine trees whisper a fervent prayer,

And hoary hearts

Recall the thrill,

When go In ran free, on Dutch Flat Hill.

Following is the story of the Wm. F. Beery family as it appears in

the Cambridge Centennial book.

 

          The William F. Beery family came from Shambaugh, Page County, Iowa in 1884 to Frontier County where they settled on a homestead about 16 miles straight north of Cambridge.  The family consisted of parents, William and Rachel, five daughters and Rachel’s Mother, Grandma Kunkel.  The trip was made by covered wagon, the herd of cattle being driven along behind the wagon.

          Of the five daughters only Sarah, or Sadie (Mrs. Clifford O. Miller) survives.

          Grandpa Beery had had a furniture store in Iowa and when they came to Nebraska he shipped a load of coffins here and stored them for later sale in a room in the house on Grandma Kunkel’s homestead.

          The cattle were herded on open range and the prairie grass was so tall one could become lost in it, so a tall pole with a white flag was set on a knoll in sight of the house so one could find his way home when out on the range.  The Beery’s first house was a small frame one, and later a long “L” of sod was built, and in this many community gatherings were held.  Among those in the community were the Shelton’s, Elder’s, Miller’s, Harcum’s and of course the Beery’s.

          In 1889 and 1890 the Beerys operated the hotel in Cambridge.  It was called the Cambridge House, and was located at the present site of the Minnick Hardware.  When they left, operation of the hotel was turned over to Mrs. Pickle.  The building burned soon after that.

          Grandpa Beery served as Frontier County Surveyor and Justice of the Peace.  The first school house in the community was about two miles SW of their house near Deer Creek and the children had to cross the creek on a log.  Inside the schoolhouse was a long table with benches around it.  Mrs. Miller remembers her first teacher was Hettie Gardner.  Uncle Mike Beery also taught there.

          In the early 1890’s the two-story white house was built.  It is now owned by Rex Houser and is occupied by a tenant.  In an upstairs room Grandma Beery bad her loom, and with it she carpeted the floors in a wide radius of homes. The loom is now in the Cambridge Museum.

6-14-4-4. MAHALA BEERY, b Nov. 25, 1848, Adams Co., Ind.; to Page Co. (East River Twp.) May 2, 1862 (The children walked almost all the way beside the wagons. Mahala said the next Morning after they got to their destination, she felt like she just had to put on her old sun bonnet and start out again).  It was all prairie, except some brush along the

river banks, or creeks. Some roving bands of Indians still roamed the countryside. Though they weren’t exactly trusted, they did not know of anything they did wrong. Grandmother Mahala said they had to go for miles to have wheat and corn ground for bread. Once, soon after they came to Iowa, her father had gone to the mill and a panther followed one of her brothers home, he ran and ran, then they listened as the panther climbed the log ends, got on the roof of their log cabin and scratched and clawed but finally gave up; Church of God (Charter memo organized 1869 at Fruits Sch.); Lived south Shambaugh on main road now highway 71, Sec. 12 (SE¼) Amity Twp. (when the railroad tracks were laid near their house and the first train came she made each child come safely int. the house. Her son later laughed and said he guessed she thought it was going to jump the tracks and hunt them up); moved 1914 or ‘15 to Minn.; d June 6, 1928, Ft. Ripley, Minn.; bur.

Sec. 12 and lived adjoining farm after marriage; Farmer, he owned one of the few threshing outfits in the country thereabouts, so he threshed everywhere.  He quit the horse drawn one when the new rigs pulled with steam engines came out.  “A fine looking outfit!”  United Brethren 1870, Church of God 1877 (Ruling Elder); an excellent swimmer, went near and far to rescue drowned ones. One that hurt him most was a boy named Journey, that had drowned in the river at Shambaugh.  He had to make many dives before finding him.  Weight lifting was a great sport in those days and Grandma always thought it helped bring on his Bright’s disease. He was a very strong man; d Apr. 26, 1899, Shambaugh; bur. Butler Cem.

ANNA BEERY KONKEL

 

Material for this family taken from, “Genealogy and History of the Descendants

of William Konkel.” The author is Carroll G. Bryan, Detroit, Michigan, 1966.

 

6-14-6. ANNA BEERY, b Dec. 29, 1825, Fairfield Co., Ohio (near Bremen); att. one 3 Mo. term of school, learned to speak and read English after her marriage; Sometime in 1846 the family settled in Adams Co., Ind. about 20 mile south Ft. Wayne; In 1856 there was a 550 mile journey by covered wagon to Iowa.  It was on this trip that Anna showed the strong character of which she was made.  Before they had proceeded two days on their way, William became ill and unable to drive.  Since the oldest child was only 12 years old at the time, the mother drove safely through to Des Moines with the burdens and responsibility of the journey solely upon herself.  Her husband recovered at this point to take over for the remainder of the trip.  The family settled on a farm south of Shambaugh in Sec. 7, Buchanan Twp. on now highway 71.

 

(From Recorders office, courthouse, Clarinda, Iowa. William Konkle 3 deeds,

2 from County Judge, 1 from Jacob Bottenfelt, dated Dec. 17, 1859

and Aug. 14, 1861, recorded Sept. 11, 1862. Sec. 7, Twp. 67-36 part

in Sec. 6, 67-36 west of river).

 

In 1870 after 14 years in Iowa they again moved by covered wagon to Crawford, Co., Kansas, a 200 mi. journey in the chilly days of late November.  Farm located near the now extinct town of Englevale, few miles north of Pittsburg, Kansas. In the year 1886 Anna and several of her children moved once more 500 miles west to Baca Co., Colo. Anna devoutly read her Bible through yearly for several years before her death; d Dec. 19, 1905, Baca Co., Colo.; bur. Old Boston Cem., Baca Co. (the town of Boston, extinct for many years, was located near the north fork of the Cimarron River about fifteen miles SW of present Stonington); m July 27, 1843, Fairfield Co., Ohio, WILLIAM KONKEL, b May 30, 1822, Lancaster Co., Pa., (s Samuel and Barbara (Lutz) Kunkle); lay preacher and farmer; He and three brothers changed the “U” in the family name to “O” and some changed the ending later. Moved to Knox Co., Ohio; Lay preacher in the River Brethren Church, called Brethren in Christ and still later, the Church of God.  Preached 35 years receiving no pay for his work.  As a young minister William preached in Fairfield Co., Ohio and worked on the farm of Joseph L. Beery. Joseph was a brother of William’s wife Anna, and it was Joseph L. who witnessed their marriage record in Fairfield Co.; d Oct. 6, 1876, Crawford Co., Kansas.

HISTORY OF SHAMBAUGH

Nodaway Mills

(1860-1880)

The early mills were located on the rivers where the running water furnished the power to turn the mill wheel.  The mill was a center.  The pioneers came to this place for their lumber, grist and flour.  They visited their neighbors, collected the mail, bought a few staples and if necessary held court.

On the west bank of the curving West Nodaway River, six miles south of Clarinda on section 36 of Harlan Township a mill was built.  In 1858-59

a man named Richardson erected a saw mill which was propelled by the waters of the Nodaway.  It passed through different hands, until a man named String, in company with another man, sold the mill to James Shambaugh in the 1860’s, who then added a small grinding concern.

John Tabor operated the, “Nodaway Mills” and kept a stock of staples and tobacco, which he sold to customers of the mill, which made him the first to sell goods. It is told of John Tabor. he said he made $1 a day working at the mill, the dance cost 25¢ and he’d never get ahead that way.

The post office was at the mill originally, with Tabor as first postmaster. William McLean of Bracken and McLean was next postmaster serving ten years, 1876-86.

No effort was made to start a town although William McLean had a storeroom down by the mill in 1875.  He formed a partnership with T. J. Bracken, which existed 4 years and after that McLean assumed full control.  His son, William McLean, entered the store as a clerk in 1876. There was an assembly room above the store and this was used as a place of worship and Sunday School.

In early years the Nodaway River was not so deep or wide, it could be forded or ferried across.  An iron bridge was built in 1870 near the mill, probably replacing an existing wooden bridge.

The life-blood of the prairie, the railroad, became a reality in 1879 when the CB&Q ran from Clarinda, down to Burlington Junction.  In the vicinity of the mill a depot was built and began shipping stock and grain before the Wabash ever reached Clarinda.  The Wabash road came from Stanberry, Missouri, up the Harlan Twp. line, just east of the CB&Q, and on to Clarinda.  Mr. Shambaugh had paid the railroad company considerable money and when the railroad was built through this section of the state the name of the post office was changed from Nodaway to Shambaugh.

This name change was not official until 1881.  In a record book at the Shambaugh post office a page is headed Nodaway Mills, this page has an entry made Sept. 1881.  A December 1881 entry has been crossed out and reentered on the next page of the book which had been headed “Shambaugh”.

Since a railroad builds many a town, it was only natural that business would spring up around the place where stock and grain was shipped.  In 1880 before the town of Shambaugh was platted we find Aiken, Turner, and McLean buying and shipping hogs and grain.  Butler Bros. and J. T. Porter in the grain business.  These were commission men as no elevator was ever built.

In this far southeast corner of Harlan Township on the Nodaway River and still known as Nodaway Mills in 1880 (probably called Shambaugh), was the CB&Q railroad, flour mill, saw mill, two stores, blacksmith shop, wagon shop and a hotel.  The dry goods and grocery run by Wm. McLean. M. A. Pierson, MD and F. E. Potter, MD, came to Nodaway Mills in 1880, at the end of one year moved to Clarinda.  C. H. Herriman was blacksmith, Hamm & Potter, Hardware.  In 1880 John C. Thompson superintended the building of the mill at Shambaugh and after it’s completion was employed as manager.

This was Nodaway Mills officially as we move into 1881 when James and Julia Shambaugh platted and recorded the town of Shambaugh.

 

SHAMBAUGH

Shambaugh was the first station south of Clarinda on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, built October 1881.  James Shambaugh and his wife Julia platted a part of a section and offered lots for sale, the first day 50 town lots were sold.  In August of 1882 Roy Beery was born, the first child born in the town after it was called Shambaugh, the house still stands on Main Street.  First to have businesses in this town

 

Bracken and McLean - General goods.

Potter and Large - Drugs (doctors who built a store around 1888).

George Crabb - Harness shop (1888-89).

Rumsey, Jim Brown, C. H. Herriman, J. F. Hay - Blacksmiths.        

B. F. and W. F. Beery - Hardware and lumber.

Postmaster after McLean was D. Claytor.  In October 1889 C. T. Cox was appointed.  He had an interest in the general store of his guardian, William McLean in 1883 and later connected with his father-in-law, D. Heidelbaugh.

Solomon Beery and Jacob Hamm had a general store on the west side of Main street, a partnership formed around 1882.  Mr. Hamm returned to farming and sold his share to Mr. Beery in 1888.  His day book of 1895 gives

D. W.  Brown for 6½# of sugar       50¢

1# coffee                                     50¢

I sack salt                                    10¢

2 bars soap                                  10¢

1 doz. pearl buttons                       15¢

3 yd. black calico                          23¢

100# of flour                              $2.80

1 pr. overalls                              $1.00

This store was at the south end of Main Street on the west side.  A saying in the Kunkel family comes from this store.  Seems sugar in those days came in barrels, always brown.  When the sugar barrel was empty, Uncle Sol always invited some kid to “lick the barrel”,  There was always some stuck around the edges.  One day he told a neighbor boy, one of the Goods, to lick the barrel.  He ran for it but after while was just sitting, looking rather sick and was asked what was wrong, had he eaten all the sugar?  The boy growled “ate all that was sweet”.  This store burned to the ground in 1900.

Nehemiah Woodruff, in 1886, had the only hotel and feed stable.  The hotel was at the Northeast corner of Main Street, later moved to his farm.

Mr. Shambaugh owned two mills. One was two miles south of Clarinda, called the upper mill.  The other one at Shambaugh was called the lower mill.  The flour which could not be disposed of in the home locality, was sent to Omaha, Denver, St. Joseph, and any other point where he could make shipment by wagon.  The mill was struck by lightning and burned around 1898 . Harve Brown remembers being at Mt. Joy school, someone came to the door and said “fire in Shambaugh”.  Everyone took to the road running, the youngsters arriving first at the scene.  Another mill was built. Mr. Shambaugh also had a mill in Clarinda.

The river curved towards Shambaugh with a covered bridge across it near the mill.  After leaving Main Street at night, it was very dark and anyone going east out of town would whip up their horse and race through the covered bridge not stopping once until they were all the way through the woods onto the next road.

In the early 1900’s there was Doctor Clark, William Gray, Real Estate; W. D. Hakes & Cook, heavy hardware; E. J. Hersey, flour mill; Jesse Huddle was Postmaster and Abe Linebaugh, Hotel.

After the old hotel was moved it’s place was taken by the Farmer’s Union store. Behind the main street stores was the Westapher brick kiln and near the railroad track a creamery.  Cans of milk were brought to the Creamery, separated and the cream made into butter.  The cans of skim milk went back to the farms on the return trip.

The hotel was built on the west side of Main Street and it cost 25¢ to eat and 50¢ to stay overnight.  In 1902, the telephone came into use and for seven years it was in the north room upstairs in the hotel.  In 1909 a committee bought a lot and built a house for the telephone office —this was on main street.  The office continued in use until 1959.

The hotel became a boarding house after 1910, it was also the home of the Linebaugh’s daughter, Lulu and husband Ora Nicholas.  Ray Fulk stayed here when he was with Howard’s store, $5 a week for board, room, wash and patch.  A barbershop was usually found in Shambaugh.  Bill Howard had a General Store from Nov. 1907 to Feb. 1952. The post office was in this store from 1920-1952. There was another General store across the street run by Armagost. Warren Russell had a garage on the NW corner.

The bank was on the west side of Main Street. It was a branch of Clarinda’s Page County Bank. Ed Fulk worked here in 1910 and every after noon took the money to Clarinda by horse and buggy. There were two robberies at this bank, one in 1916. Eight bank robbers terrorized the people of the community for several hours, it was well planned and men were stationed around the town. They later escaped in an automobile but without having secured any of the cash or valuables of the Shambaugh Savings Bank. There were two attempts to blow open the vault, neither successful, but literally demolished the front on the bank building at 2:30 in the morning. People who came to look were sent home. Mrs. Wilcox, the telephone operator, whispered into the phone to the Clarinda Sheriff for help.  A guard was outside the window, but her call got through anyway. The Sheriff and three car loads went to help, but the robbers escaped and left no clues. Another robbery in the 30’s, they took money and got away but were captured later.

The produce station, run by Ora Nicholas, was at the northeast corner of Main Street from 1932 until 1952. The Post office building, as it stands today, has been there for years. At one time there was another store to the north of it which had a variety of businesses … general store, Sherman Hardware and in 1935 a restaurant, then Dick Denny barbershop.  During this year it burned down. The space was used in various ways, during the late 30’s benches were set up and movies shown.

The mill ran for years grinding the grain into flour. The mill is gone and the river straightened.

The CB&Q Railroad served Shambaugh until 1956. R. J. Camp was agent from 1917.  Boxcar loads came to the depot for the lumberyard. The lumberyard was between the depot and phone office, a branch of the Clarinda Richardson Lumber Co. In Shambaugh it was built in 1898 and managed by Arthur Richardson from 1903 until 1947. Cattle and hogs were shipped out from the stock yards. Passengers rode to Clarinda for the day. On a Saturday in March 1916, 80 passengers rode into Clarinda from the depot.

The school had two rooms and set in the northwest part of town. In the 30’s there was a Play Day in May. All neighboring schools were invited for a day of contests in spelling, ciphering, races and finally in the afternoon the baseball game. Other attractions were ice cream bars and soda pop. The school was closed in 1959 and consolidated in South Page.

Today Shambaugh is still a town, although the only business is the Post office with Leland Bunting as Postmaster and the Russell Garage. There are empty buildings still standing, reminders of a bygone day.

RIVER BRETHREN

 

(Notes from History of “Old Order River Brethren” by Laban T. Breckbill)

The River Brethren organized on the Engle Homestead west of Rowena, Pa.  In the intervening years 1773-78 as the result of many conversations and discussions with neighbors and friends, Jacob Engle now at the age of twenty-five became fully convinced the New Testament mode of baptism was immersion. He and his brother-in-law Peter Widmer decided they would like to be baptized by thrice immersion. In search for an authority to baptize them they came to an Elder of the Church of the Brethren. Owing to the fact that Jacob did not want to renounce his Mennonite faith and become a member of the German Baptist; that Minister advised them to do as their founder Alexander Mack had done. Two of their brethren baptized each other. Jacob and Peter were in a quandary whether to do so or not. No doubt they sensed there would be much criticism and also disapproval of their decision. They decided to baptize one another, but agreed between themselves not to reveal who baptized who first. So to this day the historical writers cannot add this to the baptismal history which occurred in the waters of the nearby Coney Creek or Susquehanna River. After this act became known, they doubtless defended their act with scripture and the practice of others. It is not known if the Mennonites excommunicated them or not. By this feat we may say the chief corner stone was laid for an unintended denomination.

There is a suggestion the church was appropriately called “River Mennonites” as well as “River Brethren”, where this began is anyone’s guess. The historical writers have many suggestions.  We are positive the new church did not choose the name. This is confirmed by the will of Magdalena Engle, widow of Ulrich Engle Jr., brother of Bishop Jacob Engle, probated in 1821 in Lancaster County Register of Wills, by the following quotation, “It is my will that twenty pounds of good and current money of Pennsylvania shall be paid out of my estate to the ‘Elders of the congregation of the Persuasion’ to which I belong for the use of the poor.” It is possible people outside the group as well as those inside were responsible for creating the name “River Brethren” as an identification. Nevertheless Engle’s followers were known as River Brethren until the trouble developed between the York and Lancaster brethren. After this event the people outside the church called the Conservative fraction in York County, Penna., “Yorkers” as this is where the greater part of the conservative members lived. The name Yorkers was not generally accepted by the conservative group. It was still River Brethren with the addition of the word “Old” to signify they believed and wanted to do as Bishop Jacob Engle interpreted “Paul’s Theology”. From that time on the few that did not agree to go along with the progressive group were known as Old Order River Brethren. The progressive group continued to be known as River Brethren until 1861. As a result of the Civil War all religious denominations were required to register with the Department of War. Up until this requirement there was no need of name changing. As the council called for the determining of a name that would be agreeable to the church and the government, the decision was made in favor of “Brethren in Christ”. Then only was there a denomination by that name. In the 1880’s the congregations were mostly in southern Pa., Ohio, Indiana and Kansas. In earlier times the sermons were in German.

 

MENNONITE

(Notes from the “Mennonites in Iowa” by Gingerich).

Three families left Allen County, Ohio on September 15, 1864, for the cheaper lands of Page County, Iowa.  They were John S. Good, Jacob Horning and Henry Hoffman. The next spring came Noah Good, David and Jacob, brothers of John S. and Mrs. Horning.  David’s son Aaron and family also joined the settlement at that time. (Joseph Good, Jr. of Nodaway Co., Mo. near Braddyville was not mentioned and David listed as “Dunkard” mentioned only once in Mennonite records).

During the next seventeen years, other settlers came to this Mennonite community scattering through Amity, Buchanan, Harlan and East River townships located in the southeast corner of the county. Among them were the Fergusons, Snivelys, Shellenbergers, Lapps, Gehmans and Eberlys. The Eberlys moved to Webster County, Iowa from Franklin Co., Penna. in 1880, but when they heard of a Mennonite settlement in Page County, they moved there in 1881. The parents and some of the children moved back to Penna. in the nineties. Some time after David Lapp died in 1878, his family moved back to Illinois.  Most of the Goods moved away, also, going to Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.

On December 26, 1864 Preacher Good reported he was to deliver his first sermon on New Years Day. This was John S. Good on whose lot it fell to lead the small flock. Next June Preacher Aaron Good reported there were 11 members and services were held twice a month in both German and English languages. In 1866 Bishop Henry Yother of Reading, Ill. visited the church, ordained Henry Hoffman, deacon and Aaron Good to Bishop and reported 20 members. June 1867 John M. Brenneman visited Page County, his wife was Sophia Good, sister of 6 Good families living there. Brenneman in his journey from Leon to Bedford said of the vast expanse, “I thought to myself that if the world should not come to an end till this land all be taken up and put to use, a considerable time must yet elapse till the end come”.

A report of 1871 says Daniel Brenneman of Elkhart, Ind., brother of John M. visited. An eloquent speaker and aggressive in church work and held, probably the first Mennonite revival meeting in Page County. By 1878 the church was declining and 1880 only nine members observed communion. Brenneman’s visit had resulted in church controversy. He believed in Sunday Schools, in evening revival meetings and other new aggressive methods. Bishop Aaron Good became dissatisfied and joined another denomination. John S. Good was ordained Bishop and his son Andrew was ordained preacher. John S. Good died 1889 and in 1890 Andrew Good moved to Cass County, Mo., leaving the church with no minister. That date really marked the end of this church.

At no time did they have a church building. Sometimes services were held in homes but more often in school houses, those being Butler, Linn Point, Davis and Olive Branch. No Sunday School was formed but the young people attended other denominations such as United Brethren. Little direct effort was put forth to win the young people, it being taken for granted that when they were ready to marry they would come into the church on their own.

As the youth grew up in the community, many of them joined the more aggressive churches of the County. A number of young men “married out”, as the practice of marrying non-Mennonites was called, since, in the words of one of the older residents, there were “not enough Mennonite girls to go around”. This was one reason for the exodus of a number of families during the late seventies. Preferring to live in larger Mennonite communities.

MENNONITE BRETHREN IN CHRIST

(Notes from a conversation with Mrs. Wise Brown, Shambaugh, Iowa, summer of 1933) and printed in “The Mennonites in Iowa”).

The Shambaugh Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church of Page County is the oldest one in Iowa. Members of the Brethren in Christ Church had moved into Page County at an early date and had organized a congregation of that faith in the vicinity of the town of Shambaugh.  Among the early members were Abraham Huddle, William Journey and wife, and Joseph Beery and wife.  At first this group had no church but met in homes and schools for worship services. There was no regular pastor in the beginning, but ministers visited them every few months. Andrew Good, who had entered the ministry of the Brethren in Christ Church about 1870, was one of the ministers that visited this church during it’s early years. As this church belonged to the conservative group or Wenger faction of the Brethren in Christ, it did not take part in the amalgamation of 1883. Andrew Good, however, joined the Mennonite Brethren in Christ two years later and then used his influence to bring the Shambaugh church into that organization.

In it’s later history as a Brethren in Christ Church, the Shambaugh congregation had a church edifice and a regular pastor. In 1883 it’s pastor, Elder A. A. Miller, reported this church or class, although not a large one, to be “filled with the Holy Ghost”. He was the pastor when it decided to cast it’s lot with the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. The exact date of this merger can not be learned, but if Andrew Good helped bring this congregation into the new organization, as old members of the church say, it must have been after he joined the new conference in 1885

In the articles of incorporation dated May 7, 1894, the names of 25 members appear, the list being headed by the name of the pastor, A. A. Miller. The five church trustees named to serve one year after the date of May 7th were J. M. Stewart, David Weaver, Charles Atkinson, Amos Beery and Emanuel Huddle, the purpose of the association was “the diffusion of religious truth and the encouragement of Piety and Virtue.”

Elder A. A. Miller, upon his request, was released as pastor of the Shambaugh and New Market churches in the spring of 1894. J. J. Hostetler, who had entered the ministry the preceding year, was then sent to take charge of the two southwestern Iowa churches. In the previous autumn, Jacob Hygema had been sent by the Indiana and Ohio Conference to assist in the evangelistic work of the Western States, his first field of labor was Page County.

In the early years of the present century, there was a steady decline in membership, the number dropping to twenty-four in 1903. Since that time, there has been an unsteady increase until in 1933 a membership of sixty-five was reached. The Sunday School attendance has averaged around forty during the thirty years since the first records of 1901. Their Sunday School, however was organized before that date. As early as 1894 Eva Miller was serving as the superintendent of the Shambaugh Sunday School.

The 1966 Atlas of Page and Fremont Counties says Mennonite Brethren in Christ of Shambaugh founded 1880’s. First located on east side of railroad tracks. About 1905 moved west to where it now stands. In 1947 the name was changed to United Missionary and now called Missionary. Present pastor is Rev. J. Lewis Hunter.

CHURCH OF GOD

The Church of God was organized at the Fruits schoolhouse in the spring of 1869 by Elder Thomas. They chose as their motto “Onward Toward the Prize”.

Elder Wilson followed in the year of 1872. The first officers were elected in November 1873.

Later the church was moved to the Mt. Joy school house and a parsonage was built on a tract of land donated by Nehemiah Woodruff. Later on, the parsonage was sold and the funds were used for the new brick structure in Shambaugh in the year 1883. This church cost $3,000.

The building was struck by lightning and burned on Aug. 20, 1912.  Rev. Fred Hamlin was pastor at that time. Ten days later on Aug. 30, 1912 at a Christian Endeavor picnic in Fulk’s grove, efforts were made and money raised to rebuild the church.

The building was completed and dedicated on Nov. 13, 1913. Dr. William Harris Guyer, President of Findlay College was called upon to preach the Dedicatory Sermon. The constitution in it’s original form was adopted July 28, 1936, and later amended in 1948. The plumbing was installed in 1951 during the pastorate of Rev. Tom Harlan.

In 1953 an insurance inspector estimated the building to be worth $52,000 and recommended that they increase their policy from $5,500 to $30,000. They did increase it to $20,000. In the summer of 1955 the exterior of the building and the basement were painted and the Ladies Aid purchased new steel cabinets for the kitchen.

On the morning of Dec. 5, 1955, this building and contents were totally destroyed by fire of unknown origin. On Dec. 7, 1955, there was a prayer meeting at the Town Hall and immediate plans were started to rebuild. After much discussion and drawing of preliminary plans it was voted to build a masonry structure with a full basement. The new church held it’s first service on Sept. 8, 1957 and on Aug. 7, 1960, the new Bethel was dedicated for the worship and service of the Lord.

This church celebrated its Centennial in 1969. The church is located on Main Street a few blocks south of town center. The present pastor is Rev. Ray Draper.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Shambaugh was formed by a class of nine in 1883 with W. M. Gray as the leader. At first they held services in other churches and in the town hall.

In the annual conference of 1889, Rev. Buckner was appointed pastor and two new churches were built, one at Pleasant Ridge and one in Shambaugh, the new building ready to occupy in 1891, a block east of Main Street. In 1917 it was moved to Main Street. The belfry had a good bell. At one time the Sunday School had an attendance of 117.

In early days E. D. Redman was president of Epworth League for young people, later changed to youth meeting.

A uniting conference was held in Kansas City in 1939 to heal the split between the north and south in the 1800’s, at that time Episcopal was dropped and since called Methodist.

The church is still in use today. Present pastor is Rev. Clarence Landis with charges at Shambaugh, Braddyville and College Springs.

P AGE COUNTY

The north half of the territory of which Page County is now composed was once held by a tribe of Indians known as the Pottawattamie. The south half of the County was held by the Sac and Fox Indians, and was included in the purchase made by the government in the year 1836, known as the Platte purchase, which extended to the north line of Missouri, which line was the base of township 69; but after considerable litigation the true north line of Missouri was established through the southern tier of sections in township 67.  Until this line was established (1851) the few settlers paid tribute to Missouri, and were considered under the jurisdiction of that State.

The County was named in honor of Captain Page, a gallant young officer who was killed in the Mexican War.

Until 1858 there were two townships; Buchanan and Nodaway. A writer of History, Elijah Miller, wrote on July 4, 1876 (100 years ago); Clarinda, Iowa. He has lived to see agriculture brought to a state of perfection never before witnessed, education raised above the caprice of ignorance, commerce untrammeled, and Christian liberty tolerated.

BLOSSER

 

“Genealogical History of the Blosser Family as Known in America,” by S. H. Blosser, Dayton, Virginia. Dated 1903. A Pamphlet (not a book).

 

As far back as I can trace by careful inquiry, it appears that the name Blosser was originally spelled Blaser from the German Blaser, came from Switzerland; place and province not known to me. It is handed down to me by tradition that Peter Blosser (whom I will call Peter the First) became a singer and jester to some great person or nobleman of that country, but in time of war he escaped and went to France, where he remained for a while, but war coming on in France he left that country and came to America, Aug. 27, 1739 on the ship “Snow Betsy”, last from Deal, 190 passengers, and settled in the state of Penna., at a creek called Codorus, near Little York in York Co., where it is supposed he married and had sons and daughters.  He was also an ordained minister in the Mennonite Church.  In the course of time his wife died, and his sons becoming somewhat unmanageable, he said he would get them a cross step-mother, so marrying for his second wife a Miss Knicely, who was sure enough a cross wife, on whose account he had to give up his ministry and her stepchildren scarcely being able to live with her left the parental roof as they became of age and went to Virginia, settled in Page County near Stonyman near the Blue Ridge.

CALHOON

KUNKEL

“Much of the following material is taken from Genealogy

and History of the Descendants of William Konkel

by Carroll G. Bryan, Detroit, Mich., 1966". .

Not much is known of the early Konkel ancestors, except that they came to this country from Germany. There the name is spelled Kunkel. The first Konkel for record is JOHN KUNCKLE born somewhere around 1765. The name spelled this way either by trying to Americanize the name or some official spelling it as he interpreted the pronunciation of this foreigner. John is known to have had 7 children of which the 3rd was Samuel.

SAMUEL KUNKLE dropped the “C” from the family name. Not known for certain where he was born but married BARBARA LUTZ and they lived somewhere in Lancaster Co., Penna. where 8 children were born. Samuel m(2) and moved to Knox Co., Ohio, probably 1828, where an additional 6 children were born. Samuel is buried near the town of Ashland, Ohio.

While there he witnessed a migration of Indians from Kansas to Missouri, he saw them in a great group swim their horses across the Old Muddy. A short while later he arrived in the neighborhood of the Morseman railroad station of the old Wabash line in Buchanan township. He took up work as a sawmill engineer for a man named SEABOLT, who owned the mill and also a grist-mill which was operated by the power from the steam engine.

“Mennonite Corner” in Switzerland

 

 

 

 

Introduction

  

                The Beery family originated in Berne1, one of the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland, where the name is spelled Bieri.  This Bernese family name has been mentioned in documents of Switzerland since long before the Reformation period of the early 1500’s.  The home region of the Bieri family was in the remote rural section of Berne between the flat lands and the Alps, called “Mennonite Corner” by some Bernese historians.  The eight townships of which Bieri folk were citizens long ago (with what is called home right or right of citizenship) were Buchholterberg, Langnau, Lauperswil, Schangnau, Signau, and Trachselwald in the Emmenthal (noted today for it’s cheese), Därstetten in the Simmenthal, and Pohlern in the Thun district.

                Berne has been a “melting pot.”  Celtic people, with mostly a Roman culture, and remainders of still older populations of other extractions, were living in Berne when the Allemanni, a Germanic people, settled there early in the fifth century A.D.  The culture and language of Berne have been Allemannic for centuries, but from the racial point of view, typical Germanic features are rather rare in Bernese territory.  This melting pot produced a stubbornly independent people with a characteristic self-confidence which has served to fortify the individual with an undaunted persistence, and has expressed itself in unsurpassed industriousness.

        All Bieris (Beerys) no doubt have a common root as offspring of one Bieri — believed to be a man named Pete, who was first called Bieri in fun, for a nickname (derived from Pierre, the French for his name, with the Swiss diminutive i added like the English y in Petey).  The name remained and became the Bernese surname Bieri.  Many Swiss names originated in a similar way.  Of the different classes of Germanic surnames, those derived from personal names are the oldest.  The Bieri family name does not come from the name of the beverage,  beer (bier in German).  Beer was unknown in Switzerland before the end of the seventeenth century.

                Many variations in spelling the family name are found in the old records, both in Switzerland and in America.  In the seventeenth century in the state of Berne, grade school was already compulsory, but of the “three R’s,” usually only reading was taught.  Many people learned writing from private instruction, and some farmer folk were able to write a few words and, of course, their names, as early as the seventeenth century.  But most of the records were written by ministers or clerks who wrote “following the ear,” and sometimes very carelessly.  Several spellings might be used in the same account of one person. 

                The initial P has been used interchangeably with B because in the Swiss dialects, especially the Bernese (the Swiss speak dialect almost exclusively), little distinction is made between b and p.  In the Bernese records one finds such variations as Bierri, Pierri, Pieri, Biere, or Byrri, in addition to the correct spelling of Bieri.  In the early records of America, among the almost countless variations besides the Beery used today, are Peery, Peary, Peere, Piere, Perie, Beary, Biry, and Bery.  The spelling of the name is not essential in identifying the records.  One “follows the ear,” and no matter what spelling is found, the name always sounds like “Beery” or “Peery” to the American ear.

                The same given names were used in all of the old-time families, mostly Biblical names such as Abraham, Daniel, Peter, John, Jacob, and Samuel, or old saints’ names from Catholic times in Switzerland, as Barbara, Margaret, Nicholas, Caspar.  Old records of Bieri's in the canton of Berne include Hans (John), Peter, Caspar, Claus (Nicholas), Daniel, Ulli (Ulrich), Isaac, Barbara, Trini (Catherine), Margrieta.  Especially in a remote, rural district such as the home region of the Bieri family, in speaking a person’s name the family name was said first and the Christian name second, as Bieri Claus or Bieri Hans.

                So-called family coats-of-arms were a purely personal matter in Switzerland, except in some cities where they belonged more or less to the standard of living and were in some way controlled by authorities.  None of them were conferred by authorities.  They were designed originally simply according to someone’s fancy.  Anyone could adopt any design he chose, or make up his own.  In many regions the use of coats-of-arms was never popular.  Mennonites did not care for them, considering them worldly.

 

 

1 Berne or Bern is one of 22 Kantons (states) in Switzerland.  People from Bern used to be called Bernese.   

 

 

 

 

 

Preface                            

                            

                            

                This volume is a corrected history of Nicholas Beery, who immigrated to America in 1727, with up-to-date records of various lines of his descendants; and a history of the family of Otto Beery, who came to America one hundred fifty years after the arrival of Nicholas.  This history comprises the genealogical and biographical records collected by William Beery (8-11-2-10 and frontispiece) and the latest findings in historical research by his daughter, Judith Beery Garber (8-11-2-10-2), who prepared the volume for publication.

        The history of Nicholas and his family was obtained from original documents and other public records, and includes that of Abraham Beery because the documents show that Abraham was a son, not a brother, of Nicholas, as has previously been supposed.  The lineage of each descendant recorded in this volume is given generation by generation.  Where original documents and other public records were lacking for the intervening generations between the family of Nicholas and

the families in the up-to-date records collected by William Beery, the genealogy was completed  by reprinting data from Joseph H. Wenger’s (7-3-1-10) two volumes of Beery history.  Thus the historical material in this Beery Family History covers a period of two hundred thirty years, from 1727 to 1957.

        The publication of William Beery’s records was planned as an honor to “Cousin William” on his one-hundredth birthday in 1952.  He had been compiling data since 1911, becoming interested at that time in beginning where Joseph Wenger left off.  Having moved to Illinois in 1910, William collected his first records during visits and in correspondence among the families of cousins with whom he had grown up in Ohio but who long since had moved to Illinois—children and grandchildren of his Uncle John K. Beery (8-11-9) and his Aunt Mary Hamm (8-11-7).  In 1925, Elizabeth Beery Derr (8-11-9-9) and Lester F. Beery (8-11-9-5-3) organized this group of cousins as the Beery-Derr Reunion, and meetings are held annually in Decatur, Illinois.

        Following the first reunion of the Beery-Derr group, William began correspondence with cousins who had moved farther west.  During the years that followed, he traveled over most of the United States, visiting in the homes of more than five hundred nieces, nephews, and cousins, and their families.  Among other things he learned that the Beerys characteristically enjoyed meeting together in reunions, of which some were family and others whole community gatherings.  Among these have been meetings in Bremen, Lancaster (see 8-2-6-1), Columbus,

Logan, Greenville, and Lima, Ohio, and in West Virginia, Michigan (see 7-5-5-3), Indiana, and Illinois.  In addition to the Beery-Derr reunions, William was privileged once to attend the reunion of descendants of Daniel Beery (7-3-3), held annually in Columbus, Ohio, and to be a guest at a number of annual reunions of the family of J. D. Beery (7-1-11-8) in Augusta, West Virginia, including the celebration of “Cousin J. D.’s” one-hundredth birthday in 1950, when William was ninety-eight.  He dreamed of a time when delegates might be exchanged to report on activities of organizations in different localities, to add variety.  His correspondence with relatives grew to take a good share of his time.  He thoroughly enjoyed every letter he received, as if it were from his very own family.  The work of collecting data was all done as a hobby, but pressure mounted to have his records published in a book.

        This Beery Family History which resulted is not only a family history; it is also a family project. Josephine Beery Landes (8-11-9-5-5) and her daughter, Mildred Landes Wieand initiated and helped to underwrite a co-operative plan to finance publication.  With Forrest and Della Groff (8-11-7-6-7-2) and “Cousin William’s” daughter they formed a committee to explore the interest of the cousins.  The enthusiastic response made it virtually obligatory to issue a new history.  William continued collecting up-to-date records.  His daughter accepted responsibility for preparing the manuscript and publishing the book.  Credit for the completed volume goes to each cousin who contributed data and who subscribed to the pre-publication fund.  By careful editing and use of a compact form, a major portion of the cost of printing was met by revised pre-publication subscriptions.  Mildred Landes Wieand served as treasurer of the Beery history fund, and assisted in every phase of the work of preparing the history for publication.  Byron Ashby Beery (7-1-10-3-2-1) aided in research.  His investigations led to the discovery of old documents which prove that Abraham Beery was a son of Nicholas Beery, the

immigrant of 1727, rather than his brother.  Kenneth M. Beery (7-7-4-7-5-1), family historian, shared material from his files.  Homer C. Wenger (7-3-1-10-3) gave permission for use of material from his father’s volumes.  Carl M. Brown (8-6-1-2-4-5), chairman of the History Committee, Bremen Centennial Commission, gave permission for use of material from the centennial history of Bremen, Ohio.  Dennis and Elfriede Garber (8-11-2-10-2-1) did Beery (Bieri) family research in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, especially in “Mennonite Corner,” and with Stephen and Virginia Blickenstaff (8-11-2-10-2-2) assisted in the work of preparing the manuscript.  Special thanks are due the compiler’s husband, Isaac Newton Garber (8-11-2-10-2), without whose continual assistance, encouragement, and patience during the years of work, this new history would never have been written.

        For special assistance in preparing this Beery Family History, we are indebted to Dr. Christian Lerch, deputy state archivist at Berne, Switzerland, and an expert in Swiss Mennonite history; Mr. John D. Kilbourne, director, The Historical Society of York County, Pennsylvania; and Mr. Ora W. Garber, book editor of the Brethren Publishing House.  We are indebted to Dr. John W. Wayland, historian of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, for loan of a certified copy  of the inventory of the estate of Nicholas Beery; Mr. Howard Strickling, director of publicity, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Culver City, California, for biographical material concerning the motion picture actor, Wallace Beery (3-2-1-46-4); Mr. Gilbert Gusler of Park Ridge, Illinois, for permission to use material from his History of the Gusler Family in records of the family of Isaiah and Mary Catherine (Gusler) Mericle (7-1-10-4-2); Professor Warren P. Good of the University of Michigan, historian of the Good and other families, for his outline of the number system; and many others for various historical notes.

        Official sources of historical data were original eighteenth-century documents (including warrants and surveyors’ drafts) and other outstanding collections in possession of The Historical Society of York County, Pennsylvania; court records of York County, Pennsylvania, Rockingham County (including the fragments of records burned in the Civil War) and other counties of Virginia, and Fairfield and Hocking counties, Ohio; Statutes at Large of Pennsylvania; the Pennsylvania Archives; the Bernese State Archives and the Chorgerichts-Manuals of Schangnau and Trachselwald parishes; Berne, Switzerland; and various works listed in the Bibliography.

        The history of the early generations of Beerys in America has been pieced together as best one can from the few fragmentary, rare, and scattered records available.  In the absence of complete records, the work of the historian is made doubly hard by the repetition of the same given names in nearly all families.  How helpful it would have been had the writers of public records included the nicknames known to the neighbors –“Red Abe”, “Muddy Creek John”, and the like!

        The records of later generations are printed according to data submitted by members of the Beery family.  Unfortunately some accounts submitted are very sketchy, and some contain discrepancies or variation from the usual spelling of names.  Errors occur when information is handed down through the generations.  Forgiveness is asked for any errors on the part of the compiler, whose work was done under pressure of time.    

                If every reader would report new or corrected information on all generations, past, present, and to come, a loose-leaf supplement to this history could be issued.  Family bibles and other records could be searched.  If more of the old documents should come to light, valuable additions to the history from them could be included in the supplement.  Many other interesting things could be included, such as pictures of old homesteads, maps, drawings of the family “tree”, lists of occupations or hobbies, or even genealogies of other branches of the family which might become interested.  We welcome the opportunity to preserve in our files any

information submitted to us.  Requests will be given careful consideration, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope enclosed will bring a reply to any inquirer.

        The history of America is in the story of her people.  Bit by bit, this story is being told.  All of us who have co-operated in producing the present volume can feel a sense of gratification that through this Beery Family History we have been privileged to discharge an obligation to posterity by recording the story of some of those who helped to carve America from the wilderness.  Every Beery descendant should be humbly grateful to the pioneer ancestor who endured the hardships which gave him the privilege of being an American.

        When thinking of the history lost to us, many of us say, “Oh, if I had only asked my grandfather when I had the opportunity!”  It behooves all of us to do our utmost to preserve family records and information which will be of peculiar interest and value to our grandchildren in the years to come, and the basis for a future historian to begin where this volume leaves off.

In Memoriam

  

  

   William Beery passed away in January 1956.  His work to fulfill the dream of a new history of the Beery family had been completed.  His clear memory of events covering a century provided authentic history. To him we owe tribute for his patient labor, the results of which were the inspiration and foundation for this volume.  His tireless search for genealogical information, his initiative, insights, and interest continued throughout his long life.  The work of William Beery as a family historian was truly “a labor of love,” for he loved every niece, nephew, and cousin as one of his very own family.

Guide for Using This Book

  

        The individual histories are recorded by generations.  First is that of the immigrant ancestor.  The records of his children are next, followed by those of his grandchildren, then his great-grandchildren, and so on, generation by generation.

        The number system is based on the order in which children are born (when birth dates are unknown, the order of birth is given according to the most logical assumption).  The immigrant has no number.  His children, the first generation of descendants, are numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on.  In the second generation, children of number I become numbers 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, the children of number 2 are 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and so on.  Their children, the third generation, become numbers 1-1-1, 1-2-1, 2-1-1, 2-2-1, and so on. Each person’s number is thus automatic and permanent.

        For example, William Beery’s number is 8-11-2-10.  His ancestors, therefore, have the numbers 8, 8-11, and 8-11-2.  His children are 8-11-2-10-1 and 8-11-2-10-2.  The following chart of the ancestors and descendants of William Beery will illustrate how the numbers are formed for all the generations:

                                                              

                Name                                      Descent                                 Number                   Relationship To William

        The total number of figures in a genealogical number indicates the generation of the descendant.

        In many instances cousins have married each other.  In such cases the spouse’s number appears in parenthesis immediately following his name.  It should be noted in such marriages that each of their descendants has in reality two numbers.  Space does not permit printing more than one set of numbers in this volume (some of us would have at least three numbers!) but the other lines of descent can easily be traced from the spouse’s number.  For example, Susan

Beery, William Beery’s grandmother, married Abraham Beery (1-1-7), a cousin once removed.  Tracing the lineage of William Beery through his Grandfather Abraham instead of his Grandmother Susan, his number would be 1-1-7-2-10.  His children would be 1-1-7-2-10-1 and 1-1-7-2-10-2.  His ancestors would have the numbers 1, 1-1, 1-1-7 and 1-1-7-2.

        This number system gives generation, complete descent in the line, cross references, and relationships, all in one number.  To determine the relationship between any two descendants, write the two respective numbers one above the other.  Place an x between the first pair of figures that are different, and put dots between the subsequent pairs, thus:

            

                                  8-11-2-10-2                                                  8-11-2-10-2

                                              x   . .                                                        x     .   .  .   .

                                      8-11-9-5-5                                               7-1-10-3-2-1

  

   The x denotes brothers and sisters and the number of dots indicates the order of cousinship.  Hence those in the first example above are second cousins; those in the second are fourth cousins once removed.  If cross reference is made to someone whose history appears under the record of his parents or grandparents, simply drop the final figure of his number in order to find the, and the final two figures to find the grandparents.

        This Beery Family History does not carry forward the lines on which there is no further information than that contained in Joseph H. Wenger’s two volumes of Beery history.  Where cross reference is made to cousins whose lines have not been carried forward, their records can be found in the Wenger books.  For readers familiar with the Wenger histories, it may be helpful to note that in this volume the numbers of  all descendants of Abraham Beery begin with the figure 7, and those of descendants of Nicholas Beery, Jr., begin with the figure 8. 

        Within each individual history the general order of data is as follows:  number, name, birth, education, occupation, church, other organizations, wartime experience, other experiences, special interests, heirlooms, address or death.  The record of the spouse follows that of the Beery descendant, in the same paragraph. 

        The names of Beery descendants and their spouses are printed in boldface type.  When a given name is not boldface, the person is not known by that name. A bold initial letter in a name which is completed in lightface letters indicates that that person is known by the initial. 

        Children are listed in order of birth following their parents’ history.  When the children’s and grandchildren’s records are not lengthy they are given in full at that place. The symbol + following a child’s name and birth date indicates that the complete record of that child is carried forward and appears in the next generation under his own number.  If the reader does not recognize some of the names of his ancestors, it should be remembered that people were often known by their nicknames, just as today.  For example, Mary was often “Polly,” Frances was “Fanny,” Sarah was usually “Sallie,” and nearly every Catherine was known as “Katy,” with various spellings.

        Within any write-up the name of the state in which that person lived is given as few times as is consistent with clarity.  Usually the state name will be found with the town or city name just preceding the instance in which the town or city name appears without it. 

        In addition to the more common ones, the following abbreviations and symbols have been used:

Background

      

       Nicholas Beery, the man, first emerges from total obscurity on October 16, 1727, when he signed a declaration of fidelity to the King of Great Britain and to the proprietor of the province of Pennsylvania upon his arrival at the port of Philadelphia aboard the Friendship.  The known facts about his life in the New World reliably show that he belonged to the “plain people” of the Pennsylvania German pioneers.  The neighborhood in which he lived was settled by German Swiss Mennonite immigrants.  It may be assumed, therefore, that Nicholas was one of them.  So it is that only by telling the story of the German Swiss Mennonites who fled from persecution in Europe to America can the shadowy figure of Nicholas be lighted to show the kind of man he probably was, and to place him in convincing historical perspective.

The story begins in Switzerland, where long before the Reformation the Swiss separatists were persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church because they believed in a free church disassociated from the priesthood and political authority. They were called Anabaptists or Wiedertäufer.  (re-baptizers) in reproach.  The Anabaptist movement became widespread at the time of the Reformation, and from that time the Swiss Anabaptists, who called themselves Brethren and were later known as Mennonites, were persecuted for their beliefs by the Reformed Church and the Swiss civil authorities.

The Mennonites based their religious views on the teachings of the New Testament as interpreted by the individual conscience, upholding the right of dissent.  They believed that there should be no exercise of force in religion, and that this principle of non-coercion required baptism upon confession of faith rather than of infants; refusal of military service —since love must rule, war is un-Christian; refusal to take oaths, believing in the sanctity of a man’s word; and abstaining from the holding of public office, though magistrates were to be obeyed in all things not prohibited by Scripture.  These beliefs, coupled with their conviction that the church and state should be separate and their unwillingness to conform to the practices of the established church, brought upon them a vicious persecution. 

Persecution of the Mennonites in Switzerland reached its height in Berne, and during the period from 1671 to 1711, by which latter date most of the Täufer had been driven from their beloved homeland.  The measures taken against them made martyrs of these humble people, who wished only to be allowed to worship according to their beliefs.  The Täuferkammer, an especially appointed commission, subjected the Mennonites to deprivation of all civil rights, the voiding of business transactions, heavy fines, confiscation of property, arrest, imprisonment, compulsory service in foreign armies or on galleys in the Mediterranean, and finally, banishment and deportation (at their own expense) capped with the threat of life imprisonment or death for any who returned to Switzerland.  The government employed armed spies called Täuferjäger (Mennonite hunters) to track down these independent and obstinate people.  The excuse of the Berne Council that the Mennonites were dangerous citizens because of their refusal to take the oath of allegiance or to bear arms in defense of the fatherland, was not justified.  Conscripted soldiers were not used for defense but were sold into foreign armies.  Some of the persecution was motivated by the fear of the ruling Swiss aristocracy that this sect, with its belief in non-resistance and its refusal to bear arms or      take oaths, might become the vehicle of revolt against a government whose endless regulations and taxes were causing widespread unrest among the Swiss.  An added cause for persecution was envy of the prosperity of the unusually industrious and skillful Mennonite farmers.

Many of the exiles from Berne —individuals and families—settled along the Rhine in the Palatinate of Germany where Mennonite communities had existed since 1527.  The first large emigration took place in 1671, when seven hundred persons were allowed to settle in the Palatinate, where they were useful in rebuilding the land after the devastation of the Thirty Years’ War.  These settlers assisted their fellow-believers who followed them to the Palatinate from time to time.  The exiles looked upon this as a temporary settlement, hoping to be able to return to their native land.  However, those who risked going back to Switzerland found the persecution ever more severe.  Finally despairing of being allowed to return, the refugees sought a new homeland.  In the Palatinate the Mennonites were, at best, only a tolerated people with even fewer rights than the Jews because they refused to adhere to any of the three recognized churches—Catholic, Lutheran, or Reformed.  The Mennonites were not allowed to have public worship, marriage with non-Mennonites was strictly forbidden, the trades were  closed to their children, the use of public burying grounds was denied, and they had to pay protection money as well as heavy taxes, high rents, special assessments, and annual tribute money.  These conditions led the Mennonites to leave the Palatinate in a steady exodus and by 1726, when new severe restrictions were imposed, many who had gone to the New World pointed the way to those who remained.  William Penn had offered refuge in Pennsylvania to all the distressed of Europe who would come to help settle his new colony, and of this offer the Mennonites took advantage.  Here was a land in which they could permanently live and worship as they pleased. 

Their journey took them first down the Rhine River by boat to Holland.  The Mennonites there had become wealthy and prominent and were of great assistance to their Swiss friends.  “The Amsterdam Committee of Foreign Needs,” organized by Mennonites in the latter part of the seventeenth century to give systematic assistance to their suffering fellow believers was reconstructed in 1703 to aid the Swiss refugees.  When they arrived in Holland they found their Dutch friends ready to help in every way to make preparations for the long ocean voyage and provide the necessities for establishing their homes on “the island of Pennsylvania” as it was called by some of the emigrants who thought it one of the West Indies.

The voyage across the Atlantic was a hazardous trip, full of discomforts, suffering, disease, and death.  Sailing vessels depended upon the wind and often took months to reach Philadelphia.  But fortified with a strong faith the Mennonites braved the rigors of the sea and came to their new homeland.

In 1710 a group of the Swiss Mennonites had arrived in Philadelphia from the Palatinate and had gone on into the forest, sixty miles to the west, to establish a settlement on Pequea Creek in an area then called Conestoga.  This was the first permanent white settlement in what is now Lancaster County.  Obtaining title to more than 5,000 acres of good land, they employed their skill as farmers to carving for themselves a good life out of the wilderness, while holding much of the land for their brethren still in Europe, a few more of whom came to the colony each year. 

The settlers on Pequea Creek sent an emissary back to Europe to encourage others to come and enjoy the religious and civil privileges they had found in Pennsylvania and, as a result, the largest number to emigrate in any one year came to the new settlement in 1717.  In that year a blanket warrant was issued to two of the original settlers for another 5,000 acres of choice parcels of land, the official minutes stating that this land was for relatives, friends, and acquaintances who had lately arrived in the Province.  The second largest group of Swiss Mennonites from the Palatinate arrived in 1727.  The reason for this large immigration probably lay in the new ruling by the Count Palatine that henceforth the Mennonites would not be allowed to buy or sell.

The Swiss Mennonite pioneers were hardy rural people who took a serious view of the responsibilities of life, found joy in labor, and were known for their agricultural skill which converted the unbroken forest into the richest agricultural community in the United States.  Earnest and industrious, they were outstanding farmers.  In clearing the forest, instead of leaving the stumps to rot away, they grubbed them out by the roots.  Their fields were virtually as ready for cultivation the second year as they were twenty years later.  While other farmers left their grain in the fields, the Swiss stored theirs in huge barns known as “Swisser” barns to this day.  They used “contour” farming, running spring water through troughs cut in the hillsides and dammed up at the other ends so that the water would spill out over the ground.  Of their horses and cattle they took special care.  Such industry did not go unrewarded.  Their community prospered and grew.  And as it grew, some of the people pushed on to clear and develop new land.

The Mennonites shared this territory with another religious group of Germans who were also of the “plain people” and came to be known in this country as the German Baptist Brethren or, colloquially, as Dunkers or Dunkards.  The name officially chosen in 1908 was Church of the Brethren.  The Dunkers had originated in Germany in 1708 and, like the Mennonites, were victims of persecution and immigrated to Pennsylvania, chiefly in the years 1719 and 1729.  Their religious views closely paralleled those of the Mennonites, and so the two groups lived in the same area with congeniality.  Pennsylvania Dutch became the spoken language of these people for many generations, and German was the only written language for several generations.

These sober, quiet, unassuming folk were considered good citizens by the provincial government of Pennsylvania. In 1738, Governor George Thomas in a message to the Provincial Assembly, declared: “This Province has been for some years the asylum of the distressed Protestants of the Palatinate, and other parts of Germany; and I believe it may with truth be said that the present flourishing condition of it is in great Measure owing to the Industry of those people; and should any discouragement divert them from coming hither, it may well be apprehended that the value of your Lands will fall, and your Advance to wealth be much slower; for it is not altogether the goodness of the soil, but the Number and Industry of the People that make a flourishing country.”

 The activity of the German press reflects the intelligence of the Pennsylvania Germans and their interest in books, especially in theological literature.  By 1753, of the six printing presses in the province two were entirely German, two were half German and half English, and only two were entirely English, though the English settlers outnumbered the Germans two to one.

Christopher Sauer, the Brethren printer, established a German press in Germantown in 1738.  That year the Sauer press turned out a spelling book, an almanac which was issued annually for 49 years and circulated from New York to Georgia, and the first German newspaper in America, which continued until the Revolution put an end to the printing house. The Pennsylvania Germans were great readers, which accounts for the instant success of Sauer’s newspaper.  Proverbs were very popular.  The almanac occupied a place beside the Bible and the hymnbook, and was constantly consulted before any of the important affairs of life were undertaken.  For the Sunday school which was pioneered by the Brethren in 1738, the Sauer press printed sets of cards unique for their day, each with a Bible verse and a secular selection.

As soon as Sauer had established his printing press he thought of printing a German Bible —not for gain, but “to the honor of the German people.”  The deep religious nature of the German and Swiss immigrants of the eighteenth century was shown in their reverence and love for the Bible.  Many had brought their Bibles with them from the fatherland, and they cherished them as the choicest of their possessions.  The Swiss Bibles, published by Froschauer and brought over by the early Mennonites, are among the rare bibliographical treasures in Pennsylvania.  Some of the immigrants had lost all their belongings in the journey to Pennsylvania, and they made every effort to get possession of the precious Book.  One of the first things a man did on getting married was to buy a family Bible.  To supply these demands, in 1743 Sauer published his famous Quarto edition of the Bible in the German language.  He also published hymnbooks, including the Aushund, the hymnbook of the Swiss Brethren, as the Lancaster County Mennonites were called at that time.  The hymnbooks of the Pennsylvania Germans were used not merely in church, but were read and pored over and committed to memory almost as much as the Bible.

After his father’s death in 1758, Christopher Sauer, Jr., continued the printing establishment in Germantown, and up until the time of the Revolution more than 500,000 volumes had come from the Sauer press.  In 1763 and 1776 Sauer, Jr., published two more editions of the Bible in the German language.  The 1763 edition was in such great demand that Sauer used the unexpected profits to publish and distribute free a religious magazine, which he was able to continue for seven years.  In 1770 Sauer published the treatise on education written by Christopher Dock, the eminent Mennonite schoolteacher, under whom Sauer himself had studied.

 The Mennonites’ “Book of Martyrs,” a chronicle of the persecutions and sufferings of the Christians opposed to war, from the time of the apostles down to the Swiss Mennonites of the seventeenth century was translated into German and printed and bound by members of the Ephrata Community in Lancaster County in 1748 and 1749.  It was the largest book in America.  The approach of the French and Indian War, when the Mennonites believed that their principles against the bearing of arms would again subject them to persecution, was the cause of their desiring the translation at this time, to fortify themselves by reading of the heroic deeds of their ancestors.

The Mennonites and the Brethren were generally allowed to practice their religious beliefs without hindrance.  With the Quakers, religious dissenters like themselves, with other settlers, and with the Indians they lived at peace.  It was not until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War that their way of life came into substantial conflict with that of many of their fellow citizens

 The Revolution brought persecution anew upon the Mennonites and the        Brethren, and upon the Quakers as well. They believed that all war was wrong and revolution directly opposed to their doctrine of non-resistance.  Many Mennonites took the position that as they were a defenseless people and could neither institute nor destroy any government, they could not interfere in tearing themselves away from the King.”  The peace principles of the “plain people” would not allow them to engage in war—not even in the Revolution.  This brought them into disrepute with both the British and the colonists.

Many citizens of Pennsylvania had formed themselves into military companies and were known as Associators from the fact that as volunteers they had associated themselves together for general defense, but the principles of the non-resistant people did not allow them to associate.  After the state constitution of 1776 was adopted, the state militia was organized out of the Associators and according to the resolves of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania a fine of “three shillings and six pence for each and every parade day appointed” was to be imposed on “all able-bodied effective male white  persons capable of bearing arms, not Associators, between the ages of sixteen and fifty years (ministers of the gospel of all denominations, schoolmasters in actual employ, and servants purchased bona fide and for a valuable consideration, only excepted) . . . who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military.”  A later Provincial act fixed the age limits between sixteen and fifty-three.  The Mennonites and the Brethren had to pay the fine for not answering muster.

With the founding of Pennsylvania as a state, a new oath of allegiance renouncing loyalty to the King of England and substituting allegiance to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania came into effect.  An implementing act was passed in 1778 which imposed increasingly heavy penalties upon those who continued to refuse to take the new oath.  Since the taking of an oath was contrary to Mennonite and Brethren belief, they suffered under the new law even though it was recognized that they were not disloyal and would obey the new government in all but that which conflicted with conscience.  Some of the stricter Mennonites, in addition to their refusal to take the oath, felt their non-resistant principles obliged them to refuse payment of the fine imposed; so numerous jail sentences, as well as fines, were recorded against them in the local county records of 1778 to 1781.  The Quakers, who were affected as the Mennonites and the Brethren were, made every effort to have these “test laws” done away with, but the laws were not repealed until 1789.

A property tax, called an “effective supplies tax,” was levied by the Assembly in 1781; under the terms of the act every property holder was required to make a sworn return of all his taxable property.  For those who refused to comply with the terms of the act, the tax was doubled —a favorite device of the Whig authorities.  This double taxation naturally fell heavily on the Mennonites and the Brethren who refused to “swear” to anything.  Those refusing to take an oath were called “non-jurors.”

Despite these adversities the Mennonites and the Brethren continued to prosper and made a great contribution to the development of southeastern Pennsylvania.  Always on the lookout for new opportunity, many of the children and grandchildren of the pioneers emigrated to Virginia where land was cheaper and larger farms could be had for their money. They needed large farms for their large families.  They settled in great numbers in Rockingham County and also in what is now Shenandoah County.  They believed it wrong to hold slaves though the practice was popular in Virginia.

Soon after the turn of the nineteenth century the Mennonites and the Brethren began emigrating to Ohio, which was admitted to the Union in 1803 as a free state.  In the ensuing years, as the West became settled, Mennonites and Brethren were a part of that vast emigration and are now to be found across the whole of America.

The heritage which these “plain people” who fled oppression to help settle a new continent left to their descendants has been a rich one. As a people who clung valiantly to their own beliefs and the right of every man to follow his own conscience, they helped to establish some of the fundamental principles on which the United States was founded.  Their belief in the separation of church and state has become one of the supporting pillars in the structure of our society.  They, along with others, held aloft in the early days the torch of religious freedom by vigorously exercising their rights to it.  Their strong belief in thrift, industrious hard work, and the brotherhood of community has come to be a cherished part of the American way of life.  Fortunately, there were also other early Americans who helped to set the pattern which would provide more of the good life for all the Americans to follow.  But the unique contributions which the Mennonites and the Brethren made to the development of this country will last as long as their descendants continue to honor the heritage which is theirs.

      

 

 

 

Previous Historical Errors

                          

       Several historical errors found in previous volumes are corrected in this Beery Family History.  Most far-reaching is the correction of the genealogy of the Nicholas Beery family.  Initial research on the history of Nicholas Beery and his descendants was done by Alphaeus W. Dupler (8-11-2-11-1).  He turned his records over to Joseph H. Wenger who published the two volumes, History of the Descendants of Abraham Beery (1905) and History of the Descendants of Nicholas Beery (1911).  In order to give the complete lineage from the immigrant down to each descendant recorded in the present volume, the plan had been to include a reprint of Wenger’s history of the earlier generations.  Through the kind permission of his son, Homer C. Wenger, this was done for the generations intervening between the family of the immigrant Nicholas Beery and the families in William Beery’s records.  Every descendant of Nicholas owes a tremendous debt to Joseph H. Wenger for preserving in print the information obtained from those cousins still living in the first decade of this century, but who have since passed on. 

            However, careful study of Wenger’s genealogy disclosed discrepancies in the relationships.  He stated that Abraham Beery was Abraham Beer, the immigrant of 1736, and that Abraham was a brother of Nicholas Beery, the immigrant of 1727. Lengthy research established that this was not the case.  Investigations made by Byron A. Beery led to the discovery that Nicholas Beery had lived and died in York County, Pennsylvania.  Among the records of that county Judith Beery Garber found old documents which prove that Abraham Beery was a son of Nicholas, the immigrant of 1727, rather than his brother. Hence Abraham Beery was not Abraham Beer, the immigrant of 1736.

            Upon landing at the port of Philadelphia on Oct. 19, 1736, Abraham Beer signed his own name to the oath of allegiance, and again on the same day to the oath of abjuration which had been required of immigrants since Aug. 19, 1729. Both times he wrote his name in German script, though in the second signature the two "E"’s were written in English letters.  In both signatures he spelled his name Beer, additional proof that he was not Abraham Beery.  The name Beer was pronounced “bare” and means “boar” and, like the name Bieri, was originally a nick-name.  The origin of the Beer family was in Trub, not far from Schangnau, one of the home townships of the Bieri family.  Abraham Beer’s name stood at the head of both lists of signers, an indication that he was the leader of a group.  He was not likely a Mennonite.  Comparatively few Mennonites immigrated to Pennsylvania from 1734 to 1737.

      Since the documents show that Abraham Beery was a son of Nicholas, rather than his brother, all of the families recorded in the two Wenger histories are descendants of Nicholas Beery, the immigrant of 1727.  The old documents of York County also show that Nicholas had nine children altogether —four sons and five daughters —John, Abraham, Nicholas, Jr., George, Magdalena, Barbara, Catharina, Susanna, and Margaret.  These document’s show that Abraham’s wife was Elizabeth, and the wife of Nicholas, Jr., was Mary.  In the Wenger accounts, the name of Abraham’s wife is given as Mary Gochenour, and the wife of Nicholas, Jr., as Elizabeth Keller.  Since the documents do not give the maiden names of Elizabeth and Mary, we assume that only the first names were reversed in Wenger’s records. 

      No documents have been found which give the names of children of the four sons of Nicholas Beery, the immigrant. In this Beery Family History the names of the children of Abraham and Nicholas, Jr., are given according to the Wenger records.  Until further documents come to light we are assuming that Jacob Beery (father of “Red Abe”), Daniel Beery (first-known ancestor of the North Carolina Beerys), and Anna Beery Seitz were children of John, eldest son of Nicholas, the immigrant.  (From A History of the Kägy Relationship in America it might possibly be assumed that Daniel was a son of Abraham.  Mr. Keagy, the author, states that Daniel Beery was the name of Mr. Wenger’s grandfather, and that Daniel and his brother were millwrights.  Wenger’s grandfather was a millwright, but Wenger gives his name as John.  Perhaps Daniel Beery was the brother mentioned by Keagy and thus might have been Daniel Beery the millwright who went on to North Carolina from Virginia.

      The great variety of name spellings in all early records leads to errors in genealogical analysis.  In Memorials of the Huguenots in America, Stapleton mistakenly listed Nicholas Beery among the immigrants he thought to be of Huguenot origin.  He recorded his name in one place as Nicholas Pierre and as Nicholas Pierie in another.  Apparently Stapleton misread the list of immigrants who signed the Declaration of Fidelity.  Nicholas signed by making his mark, his name being written by the clerk as Nicolas Piere.

 

 

 

 

Nicholas Beery, the Immigrant

 

                The story of NICHOLAS BEERY (BIERI) is a fascinating one, but as with so many figures from the distant past, it must be pieced together from the scattered fragments of authentic fact which are available.  The documentary records which have been unearthed provide brief but illuminating vignettes of his life.  The rest of his story must rely on the making of reasonable assumptions based upon what is known of the history of the people with whom he was associated and upon the clues which the known provides for penetrating into the unknown.

            These clues provide a reconstruction of Nicholas’ origins in Europe.  They indicate that he was probably born around 1697 in the canton of Berne, Switzerland.  The home area of his family was in the Upper Emmenthal, where lived many Mennonites.  It is probable that Nicholas and his parents were among those who were driven out of Berne during the period of severe persecution prior to 1711 and found refuge in the Palatinate.  A number of Bieri names appear in

Bernese records concerning Mennonites, including exiles, but unfortunately it is seldom that the connection of an American Mennonite family can be positively established with its ancestral line in (Berne) Switzerland.  It is possible that Nicholas was born in the Palatinate.  At any rate, he no doubt grew up and was married there.  Like virtually all of the Swiss Mennonites, he was a farmer.  Nicholas possessed the extraordinary industry and skill in agriculture for which the Swiss Mennonites were noted.

            Nicholas immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1727 on the ship Friendship, the last of five ships to arrive from Rotterdam that year, carrying one hundred fifty Swiss Mennonite families which had, in the spring of the year, made the long journey down the Rhine to Holland.  After leaving Holland, the Friendship stopped at the English port of Cowes on the Isle of Wight, receiving clearance from the customs officers there on June 20, 1727.  The Friendship met with

 adverse winds and required four months to make the voyage.  The hardships for those on board were so great that a fifth of the passengers died at sea.  The Friendship finally arrived at Philadelphia on October 16, 1727.  On September 14 of that year, the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania had ordered that all immigrants arriving at the port of Philadelphia be required to sign a declaration of fidelity to the King of Great Britain and to the proprietor of the province.

       Upon arriving on October 16 (as shown by the following reproduced document), Nicholas signed the declaration by making his mark (X) in the presence of the governor and the Council, and his name was written by the clerk as “Nicolas Piere.”

                As a member of the second largest group of Swiss Mennonites to follow the original group of 1710 to the Pequea Creek settlement in Conestoga (now Lancaster County), Nicholas doubtless spent his first winter among his fellow countrymen there.  The area was still a part of Chester County, one of the three original counties of Pennsylvania.  By the time Nicholas arrived, land in this area had been largely taken up.  In 1728 the Mennonites started taking advantage of the opening up of territory west of the Susquehanna River in what is now York County, when settlement was first authorized by the Pennsylvania proprietors in a tract called Springettsbury Manor.  This was a strip of land extending west of the Susquehanna from near the mouth of Kreutz Creek to the Codorus Valley and the area west of the present city of York. 

            A leader was Michael Donner (Tanner) of Mannheim in the Palatinate, who was born in 1696 and, with his wife, came to Pennsylvania in the second of the five ships which arrived in Philadelphia in the fall of 1727. At the immigrant registry Donner had “solemnly affirmed” instead of taking an oath.  After spending the winter among his countrymen in Conestoga, he crossed the Susquehanna River in the spring of 1728 (the first ferry was not chartered until 1730.)  Although there is no proof of the date that Nicholas Beery crossed the Susquehanna into Springettsbury Manor it would be logical to assume that both Nicholas and Donner, members of the 1727 Mennonite immigrant wave, went into the area at approximately the same time.  In any event, that Nicholas did cross the river is well documented.

            The settlers traveled to their destination west of the Susquehanna by covered wagon (“Conestoga” wagons were a product of these Pennsylvania Germans, and have been referred to as the “ships of inland commerce”).  In the wagons were the belongings which the immigrants had been able to bring with them from Europe —the essential implements of agriculture, seeds, household articles, large iron-bound chests filled with homespun's and some of the most important household utensils, and their precious Bibles and other books.  Most of the settlers had some money.

            Heavy timber covered most of the region, with occasional meadows and

swamps.  Beside a spring to insure a good water supply, the settler built his first home —a hastily built cabin made to do until some land could be gotten under cultivation.  Nicholas settled on the north bank of Codorus Creek, a mile or so north of the present city of York, in the area that became Manchester Township in 1742, one of the most fertile and productive townships of York County.  In 1729, Springettsbury Manor was included with Lancaster County when that, the fourth Pennsylvania county, was organized and separated from Chester County.  York County was not erected until 1749.

            “The early inhabitants of the region were clothed, for some years, altogether in tow cloth, as wool was an article not to be obtained.  Their dress was simple, consisting of a shirt, trousers, and a frock.  During the heat of summer, a shirt and trousers of tow formed the only raiment.  In the fall, the tow frock was superadded.  When the cold of winter was before the door, and Boreas came rushing from the north, the dress was adapted to the season by increasing the number of frocks, so that in the coldest part of the winter some of the sturdy settlers were wrapped in four, five and even more frocks, which were bound closely about their loins, usually with a string of the same material as the garments.  . . For some time there was neither a shoemaker nor tanner in any part of

what is now York county.  A supply of shoes for family use was annually obtained from Philadelphia; itinerant cobblers, traveling from one farm house to another, earned a livelihood by mending shoes. . . . The first dwellings were of wood, but after 1735 numerous stone dwelling houses were built.” (W. C. Carter)

            Some of the Marylanders had been encroaching on the territory; and so in 1733 the Pennsylvania proprietors commissioned one Samuel Blunston, who lived near the Susquehanna, to issue temporary licenses to citizens of Pennsylvania for land in Springettsbury Manor, with patents to be granted upon final purchase by the proprietors from the Indians.  It had been the policy of the Pennsylvania proprietors not to open a region to white settlers before the land could be finally purchased of the Indians.   Nicholas was one of some fifty German-speaking settlers to obtain a Blunston license.  His was confirmed by Thomas Penn on October 30, 1736, and a patent granted for two hundred acres (the usual grant) along Codorus Creek, the land having been released by the Indians of the Five Nations on October 11, 1736. 

            Meanwhile, however, Nicholas’ plantation, along with those of the other settlers in Springettsbury Manor, had become involved in the boundary dispute between the two colonial governments of Pennsylvania and Maryland.  These German-speaking settlers had looked upon their lands as belonging to Pennsylvania, but under threat of being dispossessed, and being promised warrants from the government of Maryland, they allowed their plantations to be surveyed under what proved to be only a pretense of authority from Maryland.  They found them-selves deceived, and also discriminated against because they were German.  Later being fully assured that their lands belonged to the Pennsylvania proprietors, Nicholas arid his neighbors, the fifty-six settlers in Springettsbury Manor, petitioned the Council at Philadelphia on August 13, 1736, for reinstatement as citizens of Pennsylvania, asking that their error in accepting warrants from Maryland be imputed to want of better information.  The Council, always kindly toward the Germans, unanimously declared them tinder the protection of the government of Pennsylvania.

                On August 11, 1736, two days before petitioning the Council at Philadelphia, Nicholas and his neighbors had written a letter to the Governor of Maryland, apprizing him of their intention to acknowledge the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.  This action was regarded by the Governor as a “revolt of the Germans.”  On October 21, 1736, the fifty-six signers of the letter were ordered arrested “for contriving, signing and publishing a seditious paper and writing against his Lordship and this government.”  A body of three hundred armed men from Maryland, and Maryland sympathizers from Chester County, Pennsylvania, invaded the neighborhood of the Germans to force them out of their possessions.  In the outrages against them, doors were broken down with axes in dead of winter, property was stolen, demolished, or burned, growing crops were destroyed, and the Germans prevented from plowing their ground to raise other crops.  Their horses were taken away, and husbands and sons were captured and taken to prison, being forced to go on foot a hundred miles during a winter that was unusually severe. Michael Donner, who was one of the fifty-six signers of the letter to the Governor of Maryland who were ordered arrested for “sedition,” was taken prisoner by the Marylanders as he was helping bury a neighbor’s child.  Nicholas Beery was arrested in 1737 on a writ issuing out of the Supreme Court of Maryland for refusing to hold his land under Lord Baltimore, and was imprisoned in the Annapolis jail.  He was obliged to give bail for release on his own recognizance, but by Royal Order he was to retain possession of his land until final determination of the dispute between the two proprietaries.

            When the Germans refused to accept the Maryland surveys, it was ordered that they be returned to anyone who applied.  On May 2, 1737, by order of the Land Office of Maryland, a tract of 172 acres of Nicholas’ land on the north side of Codorus Creek was surveyed to Captain Charles Higginbotham, one of the ringleaders in the ejectment plot of the Marylanders, and on May 5, 1737, Lord Baltimore confirmed the land to Higginbotham by patent.  In 1743, Nicholas was called before the Provincial Council in Philadelphia to answer the claim to his land by Higginbotham, at which time it was established that by Royal Order Nicholas retained possession of his land.  Documents in the case are reproduced below.  Of particular interest is the statement made by Nicholas to the Provincial Council, for in it he shows the independence, tenacity, and straightforwardness of speech characteristic of the Bernese.  That the Council was not unaware of this is made clearly evident.

           

At a Council held at Philadelphia, 5th April, 1748.

      

            “The Honorable the President & Council of the Province of Pennsylvania.”

                Nicholas Perie & Captain Charles Higginbotham attending the Council in

pursuance of their Order of the 22nd of Jan last, were called in.  Nicholas Perie desir’d that as he was a German & did not understand the English Language, that he might be permitted to speak by an Interpreter, & having leave from the Council to do so, Mr. Christian Grasshold, who is usually employed in this Service by the Germans, deliver’d in a Paper, & desir’d it might be received as the Defence of the said Perie; the Paper was read in these words:

      

            “May it please the President & Council:

            “I have receiv’d Your Honour’s Orders to wait on You this Day to answer some Complaints of one Higginbotham, who gives out that he is to have my Land under a pretence of a Maryland Patent.”

            “I am one of those Foreigners who Petition’d nine or ten Years ago against the proceedings of Captain Cresap & this very Higginbotham, and His Majesty was pleas’d to make an Order that I, as well as others who were at that time in possession of the Lands contested between the Proprietors of Maryland & Pennsylvania, should remain in possession till the final determination of the Cause between the said Proprietaries.”

            “I have been guilty of no breach of the Peace, I have liv’d within the Gvernment of Pennsylvania quietly & like a good Subject, and have paid my Taxes regularly for the Support thereof, & in return I expect the protection of this Government of Pennsylvania if my property be attempted to be wrested out of my Hands by violence, and if You will not grant it to me, I will immediately apply to His Majesty that he wou’d graciously enforce obedience to his own Royal Order, and His Majesty on such application will, I doubt not, let fall the Severity of his Displeasure on any one who will presume to disturb his Subjects after such terrible harassments as they have undergone, and this in opposition to His Gracious Order, obtain’d after a full hearing of both Proprietaries to quiet us in our Possessions.”

            “With all humility I beg Leave to say, that in as much as I have been in possession before the Royal Order at the time the same was made, & ever since, I will not give up possession, neither at the Instance of Pennsylvania nor Maryland, till there be a final Settlement between the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania & Maryland, & this ratified by His Majesty, or at least till I have the joint Orders of the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania & Maryland served upon me in a legal manner.  I in the humblest manner beg leave to say the President & Council have no Power, so long as I behave peaceably & like a good Subject, to make any Orders respecting the possession & Title of my Land.  It is true that I hold this very Land by a grant from the Proprietors of Pennsylvania, which I have ready to produce.  In all other matters, that only excepted which respects the Title & Possession of my Land, I owe suit & service to the Government of Pennsylvania.”

            “Higginbotham’s Patent is nothing to me, he may have Twenty Patents, but they cannot operate against his Majestie’s Royal Order, since I have been in possession of the Land these twelve years.”

       “April 5th, 1748                                                                                     Nicholas Perie

      

The Board taking notice of the incivility of the Language, asked Mr. Grasshold if he knew who penned the Paper.  He said Nicholas Perie dictated the substance of it first in Dutch, & when that was Settled he translated it into English; That neither Perie nor himself intended any Incivility, and if there was any thing of this sort that cou’d give offence, it was owing to his Ignorance of the English Language, & begged it might be

seen in that Light, as the Man had his sole dependence on the Justice of this honourable Board.

         Mr. Grasshold further for Nicholas Perie offer’d to the Board another Paper, which he said wou’d show that Nicholas Perie had possession of the said Land by a Grant from Proprietor Thomas Penn in the Year 1736, desiring it might be taken notice of that the Date of this Grant was prior to Higginbotham’s Patent or Right.  This Paper the Secretary read in these words, viz.:

 

“Pennsylvania ss:”

        Whereas, sundry Germans and others formerly seated themselves by our Leave on Lands Lying on the West side of Susquehanna River within our County of Lancaster, and within the bounds of a Tract of Land Survey’d the Nineteenth and Twentieth Days of June, Anno Domini, 1722, containing about Seventy thousand Acres, commonly called the Manor of Springettsbury;”

         “And Whereas A Confirmation to the Persons seated on the same for their

several tracts has hitherto been delayed by reason of the Claim made to the said Lands by the Indians of the Five Nations, which claim the said Indians have now effectually released to us by their Deed bearing date the Eleventh Day of this Instant, October;”

        “And Whereas Nicholas Perie, one of the Persons living within the said Manor, hath now applied for a Confirmation of Two Hundred Acres, part of the same, where he is now seated;”

        “I do hereby Certify that I will cause a Patent to be drawn to the said Nicholas Perie for the said Two Hundred Acres (if so much can be there had without prejudice to the other settlers) on the common Terms other Lands on the West side of Susquehanna River are granted, so soon as the said quantity shall be Survey’d to him and a return thereof made to me.”

                        October 30th, 1736.                                              Tho. Penn”

      

        After this was read, Mr. Grasshold inform’d the Council that this very man in the Year 1737 had been arrested by a writ issuing out of the Supreme Court of Maryland for refusing to hold this Land under Lord Baltimore; that he pleaded to the Jurisdiction of that Court; and that on the arrival of His Majestie’s Order of Council for quieting people in their possessions, he was pursuant thereto Discharged on his Recognizance, & that he did not expect to be troubled a second time, as he was legally Discharg’d for the same reasons, & as he thinks, at the same time that Cressap was set at Liberty at Philadelphia by virtue of the said Order.

            Charles Higginbotham was then Interrogated as to the fact set forth in the first Paper, viz., whether he, the said Nicholas Perie, had been in possession of the Tract of  —Acres Patented to him, the said Charles Higginbotham, some Years before the Royal Order, & had continued in Possession ever since.  Captain Higginbotham said, as to himself he had never been in possession nor any under him, & that he had never seen the said Land, & that he believed what the Man had set forth might be true, for before his the said Higginbotham, Patent issued, he

remembers this Nicholas Perie was arrested on the Said Tract & carried to Annapolis Jayl for refusing to hold any under Lord Baltimore, tho’ his Land was Survey’d by a Maryland Warrant; & to this Point he desir’d that as Collo. White, now living in Philadelphia, was the then Surveyor in Baltimore County, he might be examined.  Mr. Higginbotham had leave to go for Collo. White, but not finding him at home, & showing an Inclination that he might be examined, the Board indulg’d him till ten o’clock tomorrow morning.

      

            At a Council held at Philadelphia, 6th April, 1748.

      

            Captain Higginbotham with Collo. White and Nicholas Perie, with the Interpreter Mr. Grasshold, attending without were called in, & the Secretary having read that part of the Minutes of yesterday which contain’d Captain Higginbotham’s reply to Perie’s Paper, Collo. White was interoggated as to what he knew of the survey or Possession of the Land included in Captain Higginbotham’s Patent.  He said he was Surveyor of Baltimore County in Maryland, & he or his Deputy had Survey’d Land in that County, and that at the Instance of some Germans who had obtain’d Warrants from the Land Office at Annapolis, he or his Deputy had Survey’d Sundry Tracts for them in the upper Part of that County; that this ‘Man, for ought he know might be one of those       Germans, but he did not remember ever to have seen him; that those Germans, after the Survey of their Lands by Warrants from Lord Baltimore’s Commission of Property, refus’d to pay for them, being as they pretended within the Province of Pennsylvania, upon which Lord Baltimore afterwards gave him directions to return the Surveys of these Lands to any Person that wou’d apply for them; & that Captain Higginbotham’s applying, he believes he might return the Survey of this Land to the Maryland Office for his use, & thereupon the Patent produc’d might issue; but he knows nothing in particular about this Tract or the possession thereof.

        The Board directed the secretary to search the Papers in his Office and to report the proceedings of the Supreme Court of this Government on the Receipt of His Majestie’s Order, & whether there be any copies of the proceedings of the Supreme Court of Maryland, from which it might appear that Nicholas Perie was discharged in the manner he has set forth.

      

            At a Council held at Philadelphia, 13th April, 1748.

    

        The President having wrote his Letters to the Governors of Virginia & Maryland, the same were read, as was likewise the President’s Letter to Mr. Ogle, in answer to his of the 3rd of Dec last, about Captain Higginbotham.

                                                                                 Philada, April 11th, 1748

“Sir:”

        Captain Higginbotham’s Affair has been heard by the Council with all the Regard due to a Person under your recommendation.”  “It appear’d that he had never seen the Land, and that neither he nor any under him had ever been possess’d of it, but on the contrary that Perie, the Person complain’d of, was in possession before and at the time of His Majestie’s Order for quieting the Border of the Provinces, which possession has continued in him ever since.”

      “Some Facts decisive in the opinion of our Council if true, & which perhaps have not come to Your knowledge, were insisted on by Perie.  That before the Royal Order he was arrested by process from Your Provincial Court for a suppos’d Trespass committed on this Land; That he was imprison’d at Annapolis several Days, & for his Release oblig’d to give Bail to abide the Judgement of the Court; That the Suit was continued against him until the Royal Order was made, by virtue of which the Provincial Council finally discharg’d him.  The truth of these matters will best appear by Your Records.  But on the whole were unanimously of opinion that His Majesty’s Order absolutely restrain’d them from dispossessing Perie of the Land he enjoy’d at the time the Order was made.”

       “I am sincerely sorry to hear by Captain Higginbotham that You were indispos’d, & most heartily wish You a speedy Recovery of Your Health, being With true Esteem & Regard,

                                                                                                                        “Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

                                                                                                                                                        “Anthony Palmer.

       Govr. Ogle.”

      

      

     During all the first years of settlement across the Susquehanna, the Germans’ leader and spokesman was Michael Donner.  Under his leadership the rich farming lands in the Conewago Valley, in the southwestern corner of what is now York County, began to be settled in 1738, and among the settlers was Nicholas Bucher, a shipmate of Nicholas Beery on the Friendship.  Nicholas Bucher was mentioned by name by the elders of the Mennonite church in the Palatinate in the spring of 1727 as one of those who had been driven out of Berne some years  before and at that time, with his wife and three children, was on his way to Holland to emigrate to Pennsylvania.  He is buried in the Chestnut Grove cemetery of the Upper Codorus (then known as Little Conewago) congregation of the Church of the Brethren. 

                On September 16, 1742, Nicholas Beery was warrantee of one hundred acres adjoining his other land. This tract was surveyed May 6, 1743, at one hundred acres and the usual allowance of six per cent for roads and highways, and the return was made on January 1, 1744.  Nicholas was granted a warrant by the Pennsylvania proprietaries for another fifty acres adjoining his land in Manchester Township, on March 14, 1755.  This land was surveyed at sixty acres and allowance on June 8, 1755, the draft being signed by George Stevenson.  A tract of nine acres and ninety-eight perches and usual allowance of six per cent was divided from 183 acres August 6, and returned to the Surveyor General’s office August 7.  Some of the adjoining land had formerly belonged to Nicholas’ son-in-law, John Huntzicker.

      

By the Proprietaries.

                          

        Whereas Nicholas Peery of the County of York hath requested that we would grant him to take up fifty Acres of Land more or less Adjoining John Huffman and his other Land in Manchester Township, County of York, for which he agree to pay to our Use at the rate of Fifteen Pounds Ten Shillings current Money of this Province, for One Hundred Acres, wit lawful Intt. for the same and the Yearly Quit-Rent of One Half penny Sterling for every Acre thereof both to commence the same as his other Land.  These are therefore to authorize and require you to survey or cause to be surveyed unto the said Nicholas Peery at the Place aforesaid, according to the Method of Townships appointed, the said Quantity of fifty Acres, if not already surveyed or appropriated, and make Return thereof into the Secretary’s Office, in order for further Confirmation; for which this shall be your sufficient Warrant: Which Survey, in case the said Nicholas       Peery fulfil the above Agreement within six Months from the Date hereof, shall be

                Nicholas and his wife Barbara on June 2, 1760, sold to Nicholas King of York County, husbandman, for £600, a tract of two hundred acres with improvements, with liberty for Nicholas to remain on the plantation with his family and effects for one year from that date.  This land was from the original grant along Codorus Creek which had been patented to Nicholas Beery, and was adjoining the land of Nicholas King.  Nicholas Beery signed the deed by making his mark (NB), and his wife signed by writing her own name in German script, “Barbara Bieri.”

                Nicholas died intestate in York County, Pennsylvania, about October 1, 1762.  It may be assumed that he had been a still vigorous man and died unexpectedly, because he had not made a will disposing of his large estate.  Burial in those times was usually in a neighborhood burying ground, with only a field stone or slate slab to mark the grave.  Letters of administration were granted on October 22, 1762, to Nicholas’ widow, Barbara, and his eldest son, John.  Nicholas had been an unusually prosperous farmer.  The inventory of his estate was appraised on November 2, 1762, at around £1,300.  This was at a time when an estate of as little as £150 has been called by historians “a splendid monument to the industry and economy” of the pioneer Germans, and an “eloquent witness to their superior skill.”  The one hundred acre tract along Codorus Creek, patented to Nicholas Beery and adjoining the land of Nicholas King was resurveyed November 23, 1762.

            (Many years ago the original of the above certified Copy of the inventory came into the hands of Dr. John W. Wayland, historian of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, who stated that it was obtained by Nicholas Beery, an early settler on Linville Creek in Rockingham County, Virginia, or some other member of the family. We are indebted to Dr. Wayland for the loan of this copy.)

       

       Nicholas was married, probably around 1720 in the Palatinate, to BARBARA ——.  Barbara had learned to write, and after Nicholas’ death served as administratrix of her husband’s estate.  In the matter of Philip Bens’ debt, Barbara took legal steps to have the title checked on a piece of land which had been sold originally to Richard Crosby, who died intestate.  This land had later become the property of Nicholas Beery, Jr., who in turn sold it to Philip Bens.

                As administratrix of Nicholas’ estate, Barbara entered a caveat on December 5, 1765, against a survey for Nicholas King which took off a valuable piece of ground from the estate of Nicholas Beery.  A new survey on July 22, 1766, showed the fence line agreed upon when Nicholas Beery sold the land to Nicholas King, and the dispute was resolved in favor of the heirs of Nicholas Beery.  This land was adjoining another tract which had been patented to Nicholas Beery.

Nicholas Beery Descendants Through the Tenth Generation

      

 

 

FIRST GENERATION CHILDREN OF

NICHOLAS BEERY, THE IMMIGRANT

      

                1.   JOHN BEERY was probably born around 1722 in the Palatinate, Germany, and emigrated to Pennsylvania with his parents in 1727.  He was reared in Springettsbury Manor, in the area which became Manchester Township in 1742 and York County in 1749.  John and his mother were appointed on Oct. 22, 1762, as administrators of his father’s estate in York County.  John was a farmer, and his tax in 1762 was £O.3.9 on 210 acres in Shrewsbury Township.  Shrewsbury, frequently called Strasburg Township by the Germans, comprised the territory extending from south of the present city of York to the Maryland border.  In pursuance of an application Feb. 12, 1767, for a tract called Hold Fast, consisting of 70 acres and 4 perches adjoining his other land and that of his brother-in-law, John Kochenhauer, in Shrewsbury Township, 173½ acres and the usual allowance of six per cent for roads and highways were surveyed for John Beery on June 22, 1767. John married CATHARINA ———.

                2.  Daniel Beery. +

                3.  Anna Beery Seitz. +

      

                2.   MAGDALENA BEERY was probably born around 1724 in the Palatinate, Germany, and emigrated to Pennsylvania with her parents in 1727. Magdalena married JOHN HUNTZICKER (of a Mennonite family).  John was a farmer in York County, owner of land in Manchester Township adjoining that of his father-in-law, Nicholas Beery.  On Sept. 10, 1750, John was warrantee of 100 acres in Manheim Township. 

               

3.   BARBARA BEERY was probably born around 1726 or 1727.  She may have been born in the Palatinate, Germany, and emigrated to Pennsylvania with her parents in 1727, or she may have been born at sea during the four-month-long voyage.  It is possible that she was born after her parents’ arrival in what was later Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  Barbara married JOHN KOCHENHAUER, a farmer of York County.    He was owner of land in Shrewsbury Township adjoining that of Barbara’s brothers, John Beery, Abraham Beery, and Nicholas Beery, Jr. John Gochenauer was a taxable in Newberry Township, with taxes of £1.6.8 on 211 acres, 4 horses, and 5 cattle, in 1781, and £8.16.10 on 211 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cattle, in 1782.

      

                4.   CATHARINA BEERY was probably born around 1729 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  Catharina married JOHN BLASSER, a farmer of York County and neighbor of Catharina’s brother-in-law, John Furry.  A tract of 185 acres in Manchester Township and the usual allowance of six per cent for roads and highways was surveyed for John Blasser on Jan. 15, 1757.  His warrant dated Aug. 22, 1766, for 25 acres in Shrewsbury Township was executed and return made to the surveyor.

      

                5.   SUSANNA BEERY was probably born around 1731 in Lancaster County, Pennnnsylvania.  Susanna married JOHN BICKSLER, farmer of York County (possibly a son of Peter “Pixseler,” who immigrated to America on the ship Friendship with Susanna’s father, Nicholas Beery; and brother of Christian, Joseph, and Michael Bixler of Manchester Township, Christina Bixler (wife of Conrad Strickler of Hellam Township), and Barbara Bixler (wife of Valentine Schacky).  A tract of 312 acres in Manchester Township and the usual allowance of six per cent for roads and highways were surveyed and laid off a greater tract for John Bicksler at the instance of Christian Bicksler on Sept. 5, 1770.  This land adjoined that of John Bucher.  John Bicksler’s taxes in Manchester Township were £45.5.0 on 300 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle, in 1779 £27.10.0 on 300 acres, 3 horses, and 3 cattle, in 1780, and £5.1.10 on 250 acres, 3 horses, and 3 cattle, in 1781.  John was listed by the assessors in 1781 as a non-juror, and because his religious principles required that he refuse to take an oath in making his return for the property tax called an “effective supplies tax, he was taxed double on his property.  John Bicksler died sometime before Aug. 16, 1796.  The will of John  Pixeler” of Windsor Township (whose wife’s name was Susanna) was dated Sept. 25, 1789, and probated July 31, 1790.  Executors were his wife, Susanna, and his son Jacob.

                John’s four children were Jacob (who had four children), “Christly”, “Jose” and a daughter who was the wife of John Bay.  John Pixler was listed in the first U. S. Census of 1790 as the head of a family in Windsor Township, having in his household seven white males over 16 years of age (including the head of the family), one white male under 16, and two white females.

               

6.   MARGARET BEERY was probably born around 1734 in Springettsbury Manor, in the area which became Manchester Township in 1742 and York County, Pennsylvania, in 1749.  Margaret married (1) JOHN FURRY, a farmer of York County and neighbor of Margaret’s brother-in-law, John Blasser.  John Furry (possibly this John’s father) was naturalized Sept. 25, 1750, in Lancaster County, and was a Mennonite or a member of the Church of the Brethren as he was listed among those with “conscientious scruple against taking oath.”  Two adjoining tracts of 119½ acres and allowance, and 137 acres and 45 perches, were surveyed for John Furry in Manchester Township on Oct. 20, 1770.  The tract of 137 acres, 45 perches, and allowance had been deeded to John by his brother-in-law, Abraham Beery, and was part of the 1and which had belonged to Abraham’s father, Nicholas Beery.  It adjoined the land which had formerly been that of Margaret’s brother-in-law, John Huntzicker.  A survey of land in Manheim Township was made for John Furry.  His home place was in Newberry Township.  John Furry’s taxes in Newberry Township were listed as £81.5.10 on 200 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle, in 1780, £6.8.4 on 264 acres, 2 horses, arid 3 cattle, in 1781, and £I0.10.0 on 300 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle, in 1782.  Margaret’s name appears as the taxable in Newberry Township in 1783, with 200 acres and 8 inhabitants.  John died intestate and at his death was owner of 221 acres of land (adjoining that of Christian Keller) and 60 acres of woods (adjoining the land which had belonged to John Huntzicker) in Manchester Township, as well as his home place of 265 acres on Conewago Creek in Newberry Township.  These tracts were appraised at £1,040.  Guardians were appointed for his six minor children: for Abraham and Daniel, Abraham Beery of Shrewsbury Township, York County; for Elizabeth arid Margaret, Daniel Shelly of Lancaster County; for

Rudolph and Magdalena, Jacob Burkhart of Mannheim Township, York County.  Jacob Furry, the eldest son, petitioned Orphans’ Court to pay the other children their  respective shares of the sum at which their father’s estate had been appraised.  On March 5, 1790, the three guardians received of Jacob £775 and 3 shillings as security for the shares of their wards —£128.10.0 for the use of each.                           Margaret married (2) JACOB BURKHART of Manheim Township, York County.  When, as guardian for Rudolph and Magdalena Furry, two of Margaret’s minor children, Jacob received payment from Jacob Furry for the respective shares of his two wards, Jacob Burkhart signed his own name on the receipt in German script.

                7.  ABRAHAM BEERY was born in 1736 (?) in Springettsbury Manor, in what was later York County, Pa.  He was a farmer.  On June 9, 1767, his mother, his stepfather, and his eight brothers and sisters and their wives and husbands deeded to Abraham all right or dower right, title and claim in the estate and property of his father in Manchester Township, which consisted of two tracts of land, 143 acres and 60½ acres, and all the buildings and improvements thereon.  On Nov. 14, 1768, Abraham bought of Abraham Weldi, of Frederick County, Maryland, for £450, two tracts in Shrewsbury Township, York County, containing 1951¼ acres and 59 acres, patented to Abraham Weldi on July 7, 1761, by Thomas and Richard Penn.  This land adjoined other land of Abraham Beery and also that of his brother-in-law, John Kochenhauer.  Abraham and his wife Elizabeth sold the 59-acre tract and 43 acres of the 195¼-acre tract to his brother, Nicholas Beery, Jr., on Jan. 23, 1769, for £220.  Abraham signed the document twice by making his mark, first (fg) and second (Rx), and Elizabeth signed by making her mark (B).  Abraham deeded a tract of 137 acres, 45 perches, in Manchester Township to his brother-in-law, John Furry, for whom the land was surveyed Oct. 20, 1770.  This land adjoined the land which had formerly been that of another brother-in-law, John Huntzicker.  On March 28, 1785, Abraham was warrantee of a 10-acre tract called Pear Point, adjoining his other land in Shrewsbury Township, which was surveyed at 9 acres and 92 perches and allowance on April 10, 1786.  Abraham Beery’s taxes in Shrewsbury Township included £0.2.6, valuation £15, in 1772, £.5.3 in 1774, £70 on 152 acres, 3 horses, and 6 cattle, in 1779, £33.6.8 on 100 acres, 2 horses, and 4 cattle, in 1780, £4.15.3 on 150 acres, 2 horses, 6 cattle, and a still, in 1781, £8.6.5 on 152 acres, 3 horses, and 4 cattle, in 1782, tax on 153 acres in 1783, and £250 on 153 acres for a special tax in 1783 to help defray the expenses of the Revolutionary War.

                Abraham was listed by the assessors in 1781 as a non-juror, and because his religious principles required that he refuse to take an oath in making his return for the property tax called an “effective supplies tax,” he was taxed double on his property.  For the years 1777 and 1778 Abraham was listed as a private on the muster roll of the 7th Battalion of York County Militia, organized under the state constitution of 1776 and commanded by Col. David Kennedy, with Lt.-Col. James Agnew, Major John Weams, Capt. John Ehrman, lst-Lt. Daniel Peterman, 2nd-Lt. Michael Bush, and Ensign George Ehrman.  Abraham and his brother Nicholas were both listed in Capt. Ehrman’s unit from Shrewsbury Township, which was then the 5th Company of the 7th Battalion. Their brother George was listed in Capt. John Miller’s unit of the 7th Battalion. Abraham, Nicholas, and George, because of their religious principles of nonresistance, could not serve with the military forces and, for not answering muster, each was fined  £3.10.0 as one of those “who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military,” in accordance with the resolves of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania.

       Abraham was appointed guardian of two nephews, Abraham and Daniel Furry, minor children of his sister Margaret whose husband, John Furry, died in 1782 or 1783.  Jacob Furry, the eldest child, purchased his father’s land, appraised at £1,040, and on March 5, 1790, at York, Pennsylvania, paid to Abraham Beery, as guardian, for the use of each ward, £128.10.6 apiece, as security for their respective shares of their father’s estate.  On the receipt for this payment, Abraham signed his own name in German script, “Abraham Birrÿ.”  In the first U. S. census of 1790, Abraham was listed in Shrewsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania, as the head of a family of two free white males 16 years and older (including the head of the family), two free white males under 16, and three free white females.  Abraham emigrated to Rockingham County, Virginia, and settled near Cross Keys.  He died May 26, 1799, and was buried in the Massanutten Cross Keys Presbyterian church cemetery.  A tombstone was erected by his descendants in 1902, at which time the burial ground was known as the Union Church cemetery.

                Abraham married ELIZABETH GOCHENOUR (probably a sister of John Kochenhauer, Abraham’s brother-in-law).  After the death of her husband, Elizabeth made her home with her son Abraham.  She died in 1800 and was buried in the Lindale Mennonite church cemetery near Edom, Va.  The inscription on her tombstone, erected by descendants in 1902, reads simply: “Mother of John Beery, died 1800.”

                For the years 1777 and 1778 Nicholas was listed as a private on the muster roll of the 7th Battalion of York County Militia, organized under the state constitution of 1776 and commanded by Col. David Kennedy, with Lt.-Col. James Agnew, Major John Weams, Capt. John Ehrrnan, 1st-Lt. Daniel Peterman, 2nd-Lt. Michael Bush, and Ensign George Ehrman.  Nicholas and his brother Abraham were both listed in Capt. Ehrman’s unit from Shrewsbury Township, which was then the 5th Company of the 7th Battalion.  Their brother George was listed in Capt. John Miller’s unit of the 7th Battalion.  Nicholas, Abraham, and George, because of their religious principles of non-resistance, could not serve with the military forces and, for not answering muster, each was fined £3.10.0 as one of those “who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military,” in accordance with the resolves of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania.

                Nicholas and his family emigrated in 1780 to Rockingham County, Virginia, and settled on Linville Creek, which was in the most fertile portion of the county.  His nephews soon followed him to Rockingham County, where the Beery family was one of the principal families.  Nicholas was known there as Nicholas Beery, Sr., and his nephew as Nicholas Beery, Jr. (7-2).  Nicholas was deeded land in Rockingham County by John Eaton in July 1783, and by Thomas Moore in March 1785.  In the Rockingham County enumeration of 1784, Virginia state census, Nicholas was listed as head of a family with ten “white souls,” one dwelling, and one other building.  For the personal property tax (sometimes called the “horse tax”), Nicholas was listed among the tithables (all males in the state above 16 years of age) as a “vocher” with 5 horses in 1788, owner of 240 acres in 1789, and a tithable with 5 horses in 1792, in the Linville Creek district.  A man’s wealth in those days was judged by the number of horses he had, and a “five-horse man” was considered quite wealthy.  Since the tax was based on the number of horses, they were generally limited by the farmers to the necessary minimum.  It has been said that Nicholas owned slaves in Virginia but became convinced it was not right to hold others in bondage, and so gave them their freedom, and that was one reason he emigrated to Ohio, a free state, admitted to the Union in 1803.  However, no official record has been found of Nicholas’ having slaves.  In fact, there was more opposition to slavery in the Linville Creek district than in any other section.  (In this district was born the father of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.)  At any rate, Nicholas sold his possessions in Virginia and, with most of his large family, went to Ohio by “mountain schooner” in 1805 or a little earlier.  Once again they were among the pioneers who opened up a new territory and converted the primeval forest into fertile fields.  Nicholas purchased, at $2.00 per acre, a large tract of wild timber land which embraced most of the western part Of Rush Creek Township, Fairfield County, and settled on Raccoon Creek.  There he built a sawmill and gristmill in 1806, the first in the township.  One of the early settlers remembered seeing the miller carry the ground wheat in a half-bushel measure up the steps and pour it into the hopper of the bolting  cloth, while the owner of the grist stood turning the bolting cloth by means of a crank.

       Nicholas gave each of his children a farm of about 160 acres from his large tract of the rich and productive soil of Rush Creek Township.  The following anecdote was told to William Beery (8-11-2-10) by his grandfather “Red Abe” Beery, concerning Nicholas’ gift of a farm: “After we [“Red Abe” and Nicholas’ daughter Susan] were married, my father-in-law brought me down here to show me the place—the land which he had in mind to give me [in the southwest corner of Rush Creek Township].  He was a man of few words, and after we had looked it over he asked, ‘Do you want it?’  Of course I said  ‘Yes,’ and that ended the matter”  In 1834, Nicholas’ son George founded the town of  Bremen in Rush Creek Township, on land that was said to be part of Nicholas’ large original purchase.  At the time of the centennial of Bremen in 1934, it was found that most of the people of the community were directly or indirectly related to the family of

Nicholas Beery.  Nicholas died Feb. 16, 1812, in Fairfield County, Ohio, and was buried in the Miller cemetery near what is now North Berne.  Nicholas married (1) in Pennsylvania, MARY KELLER (sister of Henry Keller, see 1-3, A-2). Nicholas married (2) in 1789 in Virginia, Mrs. MARY (GROW) GOOD. born in 1756 in Rockingham County, and died Oct. 31, 1840, near Bremen, Ohio.

      9.  GEORGE BEERY was probably born around 1741 in Springettsbury Manor, in what was later York County, Pa.  He was a farmer in York County.  In pursuance of a warrant for 100 acres, dated Oct. 13, 1772, a tract adjoining his other land in Shrewsbury Township and on the province line was surveyed for George on March 4, 1773.  His taxes in Shrewsbury Township were £0.2.0, valuation £12, in 1772, £0.2.3 in 1774, £36 on 100 acres, 2 horses, and 2 cattle, in 1779, and £15 on 100 acres, 2 horses, and I cow, in 1780.  George and his wife were members of the Codorus Church of the Brethren, as shown by the records of 1770.  This congregation was organized in 1758 by Elder Jacob Donner (Tanner), a son of Michael Donner, who immigrated from the Palatinate the same year that George’s father, Nicholas Beery, came to Pennsylvania.  Services were held in the homes of members, who were scattered over the southern part of York County, from the town of York on the north to across the border in Maryland.  In the center of this area, the fertile region in what is now the eastern part of Springfield Township, which was separated from Shrewsbury in 1835, was occupied almost entirely by Brethren.  This beautiful valley is known to this day as “Dunker Valley.”  For the years 1777 and 1778 George was listed as a private on the muster roll of the 7th Battalion of York County Militia, organized under the state constitution of 1776 and commanded by Col. David Kennedy, with Lt.-Col. James Agnew, Major John Weams, Capt. John Miller, 1st-Lt. Peter Smith, 2nd-Lt. John McDonald, and Ensign Acquila Wyley.  George’s brothers Abraham and Nicholas were listed in Capt. Ehrman’s unit from Shrewsbury Township, which was then the 5th Company of the 7th Battalion.  George, Abraham, and Nicholas, because of their religious principles of non-resistance, could not serve with the military forces and, for not answering muster, each was fined £3.10.0 as one of those “who did not meet and exercise in order to learn the art military,” in accordance with the resolves of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania.  George married, between 1767 and 1770 ___ ___ .
