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
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
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
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
Many
variations in spelling the family name are found in the old records, both in
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
So-called
family coats-of-arms were a purely personal matter in
PREFACE 5
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

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.

of the
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,
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.
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

BACKGROUND
The
story begins in
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
Their
journey took them first down the
9
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
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
Soon
after the turn of the nineteenth century the Mennonites and the Brethren began
emigrating to

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
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
(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
Nicholas immigrated to
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
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

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

“Villainy is its own reward”; began career in New York City singing in chorus
of musical comedies; grad. to specialty act and became success on Eastern stage

3. WALLACE FITZGERALD BEERY, famous movie actor, b Apr. 1, 1886, Kansas
City, Mo.; detested school and piano which his mother managed to save out of
her husband’s pay as policeman; in 4th grade at Chase school Wally began riding
the rails of the Santa Fe and C.M.&St.P. trains each morning to the
roundhouse at Sheffield, 25 miles away, returning in the afternoon; when his
truancy promised to be discovered he kept going one day to St. Louis, Chicago,
and finally Mobile, Ala.; returned home six weeks later to find himself the
prodigal son and neighborhood hero: instead of giving Wallace the beating he
expected, his father listened to his plea that he quit school and go to work
and helped him find a job at the Sheffield roundhouse; Wally worked as oil
wiper there 6 months, then as riveter for Sheffield Nut & Bolt Co. 6
months, but craved more action; brother William found him work as elephant
tender with Ringling Bros. circus and later he went to the Forepaugh-Sells
circus with William: Wally rose to be “bullman” in
charge of all elephants and developed the trick of teaching elephants to stay
in line in parades by holding trunk-to-tail; with brother Noah’s help began
stage career in New York City, 1904, singing and dancing in chorus line of
Broadway musical comedies; later played in stock companies as heavy, hero,
juvenile and character actor; as understudy to Raymond Hitchcock, starring in
the Yankee Tourist at the Astor theater in New York, stepped into the lead when
the star was taken sick and played it until the end of the season with his
salary of $35 a week doubled (if he had then followed advice of his friends
Richard Harding Davis and Reginald DeKoven to submit to plastic surgery lest
his face become like an “old squash,” Wallace might soon have been a passé
matinee idol instead of becoming one of the screen’s greatest character stars;
discovering the operation would cost $500 he used his only $100 to send for his
mother so she could see him in the show); entered films as female impersonator
in “Sweedie” comedies for Essanay Studio, Chicago 1913; went to Hollywood 1915
to play in Keystone comedies and sent for his father, mother, and brother
William (brother Noah, a success on the Eastern stage, wasn’t interested yet);
in 1918 Wally began career as a heavy, becoming one of the best-hated villains
of the screen; later Douglas Fairbanks started him in the humorous tough parts
that made his fortune; he lost his personal fortune in the depression and sound
pictures threatened to end his career in 1930 but because Beery talked the way
he looked, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios began to utilize his talents as
character actor and also launched the great character teaming of Wallace Beery
and Marie Dressler; Wally became one of the screen’s most loved and versatile
actors; as a rough-hewn character with a sentimental streak, best known for his
grunting dialogue, sloppy dress, and the way he’d run his hand over his face
and mutter, “Aw, Shucks,” he combined a homely good-humored face and booming
voice int. a multimillion-dollar screen career; with his name in lights
business was assured; veteran of more than 250 roles, some of his most memorable
were the brutal submarine officer in Behind the Door, the heavy of The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the good-natured pug-ugly in The Champ (special
Academy Award 1932), with Marie Dressler in Min and Bill and in Tugboat Annie,
in the all-star Grand Hotel, and his greatest hit Viva Villa (for which he was
awarded gold medal as world’s best movie actor 1934); other pictures included
Richard the Lion-Hearted, Ah Wilderness, Salute to the Marines, The Big House,
A Message to Garcia, A Date with Judy, The Good Old Soak, and Bad Man of
Brimstone and This Man’s Navy in which Wallace and brother Noah were featured
together; 6 foot 1 and 225 pounds, in real life Wally was soft-spoken,
unexcitable, lacking in temperament; member advisory board Bank of America; Masons
(32 degree; Shrine); Lieut-Commander US Naval Air Force Reserve; Lieut-Col.
Wyoming State Militia; Calif. aero police; honorary Federal immigration

————————————
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”

about a year and a half, a colorful old Gold mining town that had once been the

this poem
“Dutch Flat Hill”, all other rights reserved by author.
Printed in the SACRAMENTO BEE a few years ago.
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.

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

(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

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.

the same book and chap.) in the house of his uncle Joseph L. Beery. The church
gave him a small sum of money with which he purchased some books. Being a conscientious student he soon became
quite proficient. For nearly two years
he received the assistance of James Griffith, a teacher of languages (Butler

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.
CHURCHES
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.

and History of the Descendants of
William Konkel
by Carroll G. Bryan, Detroit,

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.

McCURDY
FRANKLIN McCURDY was born in the year 1834 in Belfast,
Ireland and became an orphan at the age of 12. Finding it necessary to fend for
himself he went to sea as a sailor boy for four years. At 16 he arrived in
America and found employment in Cincinnati, Ohio foundries and as a railroad
engineer in the pioneer days of the iron horse. Following the trend of the
restless and spreading population he bought a team of horses and a spring wagon
and drove to St. Joseph, Mo. where he endeavored to take out land patent papers
to the very land where Maryville State Teachers College is located, but the
land office had closed at St. Joe. 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. Mr.
McCurdy married the daughter of the mill owner and to them were born ten
children.

Dear
Reader:
Please do
not hold me responsible for the exactness of every date, or every address. Many
people changed their place of residence during the printing of the book. I have
done my best to record data as it has been given me. I hope this book will be
used as a guide to bring the information up to date at a future time and at
that time correct any mistakes.

The
following pages are taken from Emigrants, Refugees, & Prisoners, Volume
2, a book of Mennonite history written by Richard Warren Davis, published
1997. Mr. Davis is very thorough in his
research and feels strongly that our progenitor Nicholas Bieri was the son of
Michael Bieri of Diessbach, Canton Bern, Switzerland. Michael is presented in Family “A” below and
his son Nicholas in Family “B”.
Bieri/Beery
Family “A”
Michael Bieri, b. c1620. He married Margaret Bütler/Buler.
He lived at Diessbach, Bern, Switzerland in 1645. He lived at Buchholderberg, Oberdiessbach from 1649 to 1664.
1. Catherina Bieri, b. 30 Aug 1645,
Oberdiessbach.
2. Peter
Bieri, b. 5 Dec 1647, Oberdiessbach.
3. Anna
Bieri, b. 16 Dec 1649, Oberdiessbach.
4. Hans
Bieri, b. 31 Oct 1652, Oberdiessbach. He was married to Madlena Roht (b. c
1663) about 1681. They lived at Buchholderberg in
Oberdiessbach. He was probably the Anabaptist in 1700 who left Jacob Amman’s group
(Amish) to rejoin the Reist Mennonite group. See Family “B”.
41. Anna Bieri, b. 2 Jun 1682,
Oberdiessbach.
42. Margretha
Bieri, b. 17 May 1683, Oberdiessbach.
43. Madlena Bieri, b. 29 Aug 1684,
Oberdiessbach.

“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:

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.

Nicholas Beery
IMMIGRANT
OF 1727
AND
DESCENDANTS
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
valid, otherwise void. Given under
my hand and Seal of the Land-Office, by Virtue of certain Powers from the said Proprietaries at Philadelphia, this 14th Day of March Anno Domini One Thousand Seven

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.

A True Copy compared with the Original remaining in my Office at
York the 16th day of November 1762.
Geo.
Stevenson Dy.Rr.
(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.

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.

taxes in Heidelberg Township were £95 on 216 acres, 1 horse, and 4 cattle, in
1779; £41.13.0 on 150 acres, 1 horse, and 2 cattle, in 1780; £10.10.3 on 206
acres, 1 horse, and 5 cattle, in 1781; £18.0.0 on 206 acres, 2 horses, and 3
cattle, in 1782; and on 160 acres, with 5 inhabitants, no servants, and no
Negroes, in 1783. Jacob 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. Jacob Keagy of Heidelberg
Township was a Mennonite minister. On
May 14, 1775, he represented his church,
with Michael Danner (Tanner) representing the Brethren, in the signing of a
tri-partite indenture for a building “for school and religious worship.”
Barbara and Jacob both lived to
a very old age. They were still living on November 10, 1787, at which time
Jacob made his will.

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 ———.
1. Jacob Beery. +
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 ___ ___ .
