INTRODUCTION AND PREFACE
MACAULAY, the great English historian, says: "They who take no pride in the deeds of a remote ancestry, will hardly be likely to accomplish anything worthy to be remembered by a remote posterity."
Some years ago I started to compile a history of Mathias Schleiermacher and his numerous descendants for my own satisfaction, little dreaming what a task I had ahead of me, and while gradually proceeding with the work, I had a num- ber of inquiries from different persons if they could secure copies when completed, and also had the suggestion, why not have it put in book form for sale, which I have decided to do.
It seems to be a fad in these days to trace the ancestry back as far as possible, and if it can be done, to show that your grandfather, or his father or grandfather, has seen active service during the Revolutionary War, and by this, join the Daughters or the Sons of the Revolution, and I am glad to say that any one of the descendants of the four sons of Mathias Schleiermacher — John, Mathias, Henry or Daniel — can join one of the above-named or kindred organi- zations. Lancaster County, Pa., has more than enough to organize a Slaymaker Chapter of either of the above organi- zations.
While working at the compilation of this book, many discouragements and questions have been put to me by different persons, such as "What is the use of all this work?" "How do you know you are correct and where do

you get j'our information?" etc. In reply, I would say that I get my information from old records, the records in the Court House, old familj- Bibles, old cemeteries, old his- tories and much from older persons. It seems to me that these sources ought to be reliable. Also in reference to the idea of some that this kind of work is useless, I would reply that it is very nice to know from whom you descend and very often it is an incentive for a person to go ahead when you hear that j^our father or grandfather, or some other parent a generation or so back, is spoken of as a person of ability and integrity, and many a prominent position for a young man has been secured because he was his father's or mother's son; also, again, taking the subject in a little meaner light, at a horse, or cattle, or dog show, or even buy- ing a horse or dog, the breed and pedigree must always accompany the animal if it is of a high grade; how much more so ought it to be with man. Again, the old Israelites were very particular in keeping their direct descent from Abraham and were very proud that they were Abraham's sons. We have the direct descent of Jesus Christ given on both' His father's and mother's side. Why? We do not mean that because a person has a very good father or mother that they will be good, because we have everj^ reason to believe that Judas had a very good father and mother, but Judas "sold his Master for thirty pieces of silver." Benedict Arnold had a very fine father, mother and wife, but betraj'ed his countiy. Robert Ingersoll's father was a minister of the Gospel, but Robert was the leading infidel of his age. And we could give many similar instances, but a bright, earnest. Christian father or mother's influence, certainly no one will deny, is much to be desired to a home where God is not reverenced, Sabbath desecrated, drunkenness common and profanity a rule.
Many of the descendants and others have been very kind

in helping me and giving information, and I take this little space to thank them all, there being too many to mention all names, and it would be an injustice to mention some and not all; so I extend to all who helped me in any way my sincerest thanks.
A little explanation of the way in which I have arranged the descendants will possibly be necessary to make it plain to the readers, so I submit the following:
Mathias Schleiermacher is the first generation; his seven children, Lawrence, Mathias, John, Henry, Daniel, Margaret and Barbara, will be the second generation; the third gen- eration being marked 1, 2, 3, etc.; the fourth generation being marked First, Second, Third, etc.; the fifth generation being marked A, B, C, etc. ; the sixth generation being marked One, Two, Three, etc. ; the seventh generation marked a, b, c, etc., and the eighth generation marked, I., II., III., IV., v., etc. I hope this little explanation will be plain to all, and if not, the compiler will be glad to give any other infor- mation by writing to him for same. The dates of births, marriages and deaths in this work are of the direct descend- ants, and not of those who married them. In compiling a work like this, it is almost impossible not to have some mistakes, partly on account of transcribing, partly on account of reading proof and partly on account of wrong informa- tion; so if any errors are discovered, will you kindly notify the compiler?
Thinking it might be of interest to some, I have given a short abstract of the early history of a few of the families which have married into the Slaymaker family, where I could gather the data for the same.
In some families, the order in which the children are given do not necessarily mean that the oldest is mentioned first, next oldest next, and so on, but I give them as they were given to me, and as dates of births were not given, I could not very well arrange them in proper order.
10 History of the Slaymaker Family.
Before closing this Introduction and Preface, I want to say that others could have done this work much better than I have done it. I suppose there will be many criticisms on the way it is written, the arrangement, etc., as I have heard similar works criticised. But to such I would say that I have done the work and it is done my way, the arrangement is my way of arrangement, not entirely original, however, and those who think theA' could have done it better should not have waited for me to do it, but should have gone ahead themselves.
With this I give you, on the following pages, as concise, plain and correct an account of the descendants of Mathias Schleiermacher as possible. This book I have divided into seven different parts: Part First, the General History; Part Second, Geneology and History of the descendants of Law- rence Slaymaker, who had but one daughter, Anna Barbara, who married George Lefever; Part Third, Genealogy and History of the descendants of Mathias Slaymaker, who mar- ried Barbara Smith; Part Fourth, Genealogy and History of the descendants of John Slaymaker, who married Eliza- beth White; Part Fifth, Genealogy and History of the de- scendants of Henry Slaymaker, who married Faithful Rich- ardson; Part Sixth, Genealogy and History of the descend- ants of Daniel Slaymaker, who married Agilis Young; Part Seventh, Genealogy and History of Barbara Slaymaker, who married Hieronimus Eckman.
PART I.
HISTORICAL
Mathias Slaymaker, or as it is in the German, Schleier- macher, was born and bred in Hesse Castle, in Germany, from which place he emigrated to the city of Strasburg, then and now a part of the German Empire; for many years it was, however, a part of the French Empire, and located along the left bank of the river Rhine, in the province of Alsace. It belonged to one of the provinces which com- posed the Palatinate, the seat of the most terrible religious persecutions for more than one hundred years after the Reformation took place. When Mathias Schleiermacher left Germany, to find wider opportunities in this world, his immediate family were people of position and eminence, and early in the Reformation embraced Protestantism. Mathias, above mentioned, had two brothers, one was a clergyman and settled in the emperor's dominion, high up in Germany; he was appointed Secretary of Legation from that government to the Court of St. James, afterwards Charge d' Affairs, and there married and settled. John Adams, when minister to the Court of St. James, resided with one of his descendants. His oldest son was governor of an island. From this brother of Mathias Schleiermacher it is almost certain that the Duvalls, Stewarts and Slamakers living in or near Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland, and
12 History of the Slaymaker Family.
Washington, D. C, also an Isaac Slaymaker, living in New Jersey, descend, as I have seen it expressed by one of them that their fathers said "they had lived under the shadow of Windsor Castle."
The other brother of ]\Iathias was a major in the King of Prussia's tall regiment, and it is probable that a son of his was one of the officers in the Hessian troops, as one of that name was confined as a prisoner in the Lancaster jail.
Mathias Slaymaker emigrated to this country about 1710, and he and his family settled on a tract of 1,000 acres, which he purchased from a company called the London Company and known as the "London Lands," situated in Strasburg Township, now Paradise Township, and built a log house near a spring not far from the present village of Williams- town, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is very likely he gave the name to Strasburg Township. He was married in Germany, his wife's maiden name is unknown, her Chris- tian name was Catharine. They had five sons, Lawrence, Mathias, John, Henry and Daniel, and two daughters, Mar- garet and Barbara. Lawrence and Margaret were born in Germany. Mathias Slaymaker, as well as his sons, were noted for their gigantic stature and strength, which was of great advantage in those days, as the Indians were all around them. Mathias lived to an advanced age and died about 1762, and is buried in old Leacock burj'ing ground, which has been the burying place of many of his descendants up to the present time.
Of these five sons and two daughters, Lawrence married Eve Pfoutz; Mathias married Barbara Smith; John married Elizabeth White; Henry married Faithful Richardson; Dan- iel married Agilis Young; IMargaret married Michael Fickle; Barbara married Hieronimus Eckman.
Mathias Slaymaker left his property to his four sons, Mathias, John, Henry and Daniel, leaving his youngest son,

Daniel, his executor, as his will, which is given in another place in full, will show.
It will be shown that the Schleiermachers were a very prominent family in Germany, as the following short extract of the account of the funeral of Fried rich Ernst Daniel Schleiermacher will show:
"On the 15th February, 1834, a funeral procession was seen moving through the streets of Berlin, the like of which that capital had rarely before witnessed. The coffin, covered with a black pall and simply decorated with a large copy of the Bible, was borne on the shoulders of twelve students of the University, thirty-six of the most robust of whom had volunteered to perform, alternately, this pious service. After these came a train of mourners on foot, extending upwards of a mile in length, and these were followed by one hundred mourning coaches, headed by the equipages of the king and the crown prince. Along the whole line traversed by the procession, dense crowds of sympathizing spectators had gathered, while in the cemetery, beyond the gates of the city, similar crowds were assembled; and on every countenance might be read the fact that the individual borne to the grave was one of those representative men in whom are concentrated, as it were in a focus, the moral and intellectual life of a nation and the period to which they belong, and who become, in consequence, centers of new light and diffusers of new and vivifying warmth. Such was, in- deed, the case; for it was Fredrich Ernst Daniel Schleier- macher whom, by a spontaneous movement, the capital of Protestant Germany was thus honoring in death.
"During a quarter of a century Schleiermacher had exer- cised in that city the double function of a teacher in the university and in the church; approving himself a fearless citizen in times of imminent peril and an inspired preacher during the period of great religious indifference, he had, at
14 History of the Slaymaker Family.
a most critical juncture in the history of Prussia, contributed more than any other individual to keep alive, in all classes, the pride of nationality and the love of independence, and to awaken rehgious earnestness and quickening moral sentiments. Ever ready to sacrifice himself in the interest not only of his country but of the whole German nation, then bending under the yoke of France, his example had acted contagiously, in Berlin more especially, where his influence was supreme, and had sustained in the people the determination to liberate themselves when an opportunity offered, which was ultimately so nobly carried out."
His father was a chaplain in a Prussian regiment in Silesia. Friederick Ernst Daniel Schleiermacher was born in Breslau, Germany, November 21, 1768, and died in Berlin, February 12, 1834. He was small in size, had a hump back, keen, piercing eye and a noble face. He was a strong advocate of Presbyterianism and a noted writer. It is not positive, but thought by some that he was a grandson of Mathias Schleier- macher's brother, spoken of a few pages back, who was sent to the Court of St. James and there settled.
The descendants of Mathias Schleiermacher have held man}' prominent positions and positions of trust and honor in the Church, State, battle-field, social, financial and many other fields of activity, as we find both national and state legislators; we find them active in the Church, both on the home field and on the foreign field; we find them taking a prominent part in the Revolutionary War, in the Civil War, 1861 to 1865, and also in the Spanish-American War, numbers giving up their lives for their country. There is hardl}^ a state in the Union which does not claim some descendant of Mathias Schleiermacher as one of its residents, and many are to be found in British Columbia. They also take a promi- nent part in the social activities wherever they happen to be, as also the industrial and financial welfare of the communi-
Historical. 15
ties where they dwell. A few of the positions they have held, as also the organizations with which they have been connected we will now give in a brief manner. These might be duplicated many times, but these will suffice:
Writing of "Stand up, Stand Up for Jesus." "Stand up for Jesus" was the dying message of the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, a personal friend of George Duffield, to the Young Men's Christian Association and the Minister's Association with them, in the Noon-day Prayer Meeting, during the great revival of 1858, usually known as "The Work of God in Philadelphia." The Sabbath before his death he preached in Jayne's Hall one of the most successful sermons of modern times. Of the five thousand in attend- ance, fully one thousand were converted. His text was Exodus X. 11, and hence the allusion in the third verse of the hymn. The following Wednesday, leaving his study for a moment, he went to the barn-floor, where a mule was at work on a horse-power, shelling corn. Patting the mule on the neck, the sleeve of his silk gown caught in the cogs of the wheel and his arm was torn out by the roots. His death occurred in a few hours. The following Sabbath, the author of the hymn, George Duffield, preached from Eph. vi. 14, and the verses which will follow were written simply as the concluding exhortation. The wording of the hymn has been changed to suit a number of compilers of hymn-books in their respective books. I give the hymn in full below, exactly as it was written by Mr. Duffield:
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the Cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss. From victory unto victor}- His army He shall lead, Till every foe is vanquisli'd, And Christ is Lord indeed!
History of the Slaymaker Family'.
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus; The solemn watchword hear; If while ye sleep He suffers, Away with shame and fear; Where'er ye meet with evil, Within you or without, Charge for the God of battles, And put the foe to rout.
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus; The tnunpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict. In this His glorious day. Ye that are men now serve Him, Against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus; Stand in His strength alone: The arm of flesh will fail you. Ye dare not trust your own. Put on the Gospel armor. Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger. Be never wanting there.
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus; Each soldier to his post; Close up the broken column. And shout through all the host. Make good the loss so heavy,. In those that still remain, And prove to aU around you That death itself is gain.
"Stand up! Stand up for Jesus; The strife wiU not be long; This day the noise of battle, The next, the victor's song.

Visit of Lafayette to Lancaster, Pa., and Slaymaker's Hotel of the Same Place.
General Lafayette's visit to the city of Lancaster, Pa., was an event in the history of that city which the citizens did not leave go unnoticed. So a meeting was held Sep- tember 13, 1824, in the Court House, approving the action of councils inviting Lafayette to visit our city, a committee was appointed to proceed, with a committee from councils, to Philadelphia to present the resolutions to the Marquis. The joint committee from councils and citizens were General Geo. B. Porter, Milton C. Rogers, Capt. Frederick Ham- bright, Capt. John Reynolds, Jasper Slaymaker, Emanuel Reigart and Benjamin Grimier. He arrived, as expected, being met at Philson's tavern, fourteen miles west of West Chester, by the committee from Lancaster, who had four coaches and four with out-riders and attendants. After moving through the principal streets of the city, the pro- cession halted at Slaymaker's hotel, which had been desig- nated as the general's place of reception, and was beautifully fitted up. Here Lafayette was addressed by Burgess Light- ner and made appropriate response. On the next day he was introduced to many Revolutionaiy soldiers, visited friends and spent considerable time visiting the schools. In the afternoon a sumptuous dinner was given in his honor at the Court House by John Stehman, and in the evening attended a party at Masonic Hall. Early next morning Lafaj-ette took his departure, being escorted out of the town by the city battalion and as far as Port Deposit by the committee. Right here I might say that the first record we have of a
18 History of the Slaymaker Family.
tavern in Lancaster County was that one kept by Gibson, as early as 1722, at the sign of "The Hickory Tree." This was the site of Slaymaker's Hotel, spoken of in connection with Lafayette's visit to Lancaster, and was kept by Samuel Cochran Slaymaker, whose body now lies under the chapel of the First Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, Pa. The hotel stood where Benjamin Champneys afterward resided, still later by High & Martin's China Hall and the present site of Schafer's China Hall, and the Three-and-Nine-Cent Store, on East King Street, adjoining the hotel, where D. S. Bursk & Son grocery is now, stood the office building of the great stage line of Reeside, Slaymaker & Co., running from Phila- delphia to the West. This office building was a three-story structure. On the first floor the door was in the centre, with a window on each side; on the side of this room next to Christian street was the office and baggage room for the stage line; on the other side of the room was a jewelry shop, kept by a man named Brown. Many years previous to this the hotel was known as the State Arms, and was kept by Henry Slaymaker, receiving its license the latter part of the eighteenth century, and was succeeded by his son, Samuel Cochran Slaymaker, who was the landlord when Lafaj-ette visited Lancaster, Pa. Just when the hotel changed its name I do not know. There is a tradition extant to the effect that the first anthracite coal used in Lancaster was at Slay- maker's Hotel. It was so hard that they had great difiB- culty in igniting it, but after it got fairly started, the stove got so hot that they did not know what to do with it. Being afraid that the house would take fire, they poured water on it, and then took the stove out doors, vowing if they ever "got the pesky thing out, they would go back to burning hickory wood at three dollars a cord." Immediately opposite the hotel was a spring. Some

claim that Gibson's "Hickory Tree Inn" did not stand on this spot, but Hazard's "Register of Pennsylvania," pub- lished in 1830, Volume 6, page 265, gives this as the location. The hotel afterwards went into the hands of a man by the name of Parker, who was the last landlord, and the hotel went out of existence.
Patriot Daughters of Lancaster, Pa.
To the ladies of Lancaster, Pa., belongs the honor of forming the first organization of the "Patriot Daughters," their objects being to minister to the wants of the volunteers who went forth to fight in defense of the nation's honor and integrity. Similar societies were subsequently organized in other parts of the country, but as far as known, none pre- ceded the one in Lancaster, Pa. On the 22d of April, ten days after the attack on Fort Sumter, a meeting of the ladies of Lancaster was held in the Court House, at which it was resolved that an association of ladies be formed under the style and title of "Patriot Daughters of Lancaster."

Leacock Presbyterian Church, Lancaster County, Pa.
Leacock Presbyterian Church, situated on the Old Road,, about fifteen miles east of Lancaster City, was incorporated March 10, 1787, by act of General Assembly of Pennsylvania. Trustees in said act of incorporation were Rev. N. W. Semple,, James Mercer, John Craig, John Slaymaker, Geo. Mcllvaine, Henry Slaymaker, Jr., Wm. Porter, Wm. Crayton and James; Cooper. The following Slaymakers have served as elders in

Adjoining the church is the grave- yard, which has been and still is used as a burial place by many of the descendants of Mathias Slaymaker and is his own resting place. The church was .started in the early part of 1700.
Pequea Presbyterian Church, Lanc.\ster County, Pa. Pequea Presbyterian Church, Lancaster County, Pa., was chartered February 8, 1785. Trustees appointed were Isaac McAlmont, Aitios Slaymaker (who was also an elder in this church for many years), James Armor, Thos. Slemons, An- drew Caldwell, Robert Buyers, David Jenkins, Thos. Patton and Rev. Robert Smith, D.D.
Bellevue Presbyterian Church, Gap, Pa.
Bellevue Presbyterian Church, Gap, Pa., was organized in 1832. The land was in possession of Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy, who gave one acre and $100; Col. Maxwell Kennedy, SloO; Samuel Houston, $1.50; Henry F. Slaymaker, $100, and Robert Mcllvaine, $100.
The first ruling elders of the Bellevue Presbyterian Church were Henry F. Slaymaker and Wm. S. Kennedy. Hamilton Roney was also elected an elder, but said he was not "guid" enough; also that he expected to go to the old country soon. Though elected an elder, he was never ordained. The church was erected in 1823 by Presbyterians and others and finally, in 1832, was organized into a Presbyterian church.

Va., December 4, 1873, united with the Church in 1885, elected an elder October 30, 1901 ; licensed by the Chesapeake Presbytery, April 16, 1903; ordained by them June 17, 1903; appointed as a missionary of the Pres- byterian Church to the Congo Mission field, Africa, as business manager, March 3, 1903; sailed from Philadelphia, August 1, 1903. He had desired for at least eight years to be a missionary of the Cross and his desire had at last been grati- fied. The "Lapsley," the boat belonging to the Congo mission field, was put in first-class condition, November 11, 1903, and started on its long, perilous and what proved to be disastrous voyage from Leopoldville with the outgoing missionaries and cargo of supplies, including a printing press. Navigation was difficult from the first, the boat was seven times whirled around by the current. On Monday, Novem- ber 16, 1903, an early start was made, and at seven o'clock the boat struck a whirlpool more dangerous than any previ- ously encountered. The little craft was unable to cope with the current and the waters rushed over the deck and in a few seconds the "Lapsley" was capsized. Mr. Slaymaker grasped the rail as the boat went over and was never seen again. It is supposed that he became entangled with some of the people who could not swim and was taken down with them, as twenty-three of the crew were drowend. In a moment he had passed from the scenes of missionary service to missionary reward. Others will take up the work, but his short life in the mission field will not have been in vain,

John A. Hiestand, and its consolidation with the "Examiner," in December, 1876. This relation continued only until j\Iarch 14, 1877, when, owing to differences of opinion between the editor and proprietor, growing out of the election of Hon. J. D. Cameron to L'nited States Senate, Mr. Geist resigned. As he had represented and given expression to Independent Republican sentiments of the county since the organization of the party in which he took an active part, a strong de- sire was manifested to have him establish a journal which should reflect the independent sentiments created and fostered by him through the "Express." Various proposi- tions were made to raise the capital through a stock com- pany, but all failed. Ex-Senator John B. Warfel proposed to advance the necessary means for the purchase of an entire new plant and supply the necessary capital to put the journal on a paying basis. His offer was accepted. Although the enterprise was started in a period of great de- pression, it exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its friends. At the end of the first year the weekly edition exceeded the circulation of any of its contemporaries. The daily was steadily gaining in public favor. At the end of the fifth year, the official record kept by the Lancaster post- master showed that the "New Era" circulated as many copies through that channel as all the local newspapers and

periodicals combined. At end of sixth year, it liad paid back all capital and doubled its plant, its job printing department being one of the most complete in the state. Firm changed to Warfel & Geist. Original staff of the "New Era", J. B. Warjel, publisher; J. M. W. Geist, editor; Frank R. Dieffen- derffer, associate editor; John J. Cochran, managing news editor, assisted by James D. Landis, Walter Kieffer and Geo. W. Mason, on local news department, and B. S. Schindle in charge of business office. All of the above had been asso- ciated with Mr. Geist on the "Express" except Mr. Dieffen- derffer. The "New Era" to-day far exceeds any of its con- temporaries, both in its newspaper and job-printing work, having one of the most complete plants in the State. Children's Home, Lancaster, Pa.

Memorial Presbyterian- Church, Lancaster, Pa. On February 7, 1869, the first session of Memorial Presby- terian Sabbath School, from which has grown the church of the same name, was held on the second floor of the old ShifHer Hose House, on South Queen street, Lancaster, Pa., which is now the home of Engine Company No. 2, of our fire department. There were present at this service forty- four scholars, teachers and officers. The Superintendents of the school were Amos Fleming Slaymaker, D. W. Bissel, Dr. Henry Keneagy, H. R. Fulton, Esq., H. C. Moore, D. H. Bartholomew, and Edward R. Garvin. The present mem- bership of the school is about 400, including all departments. Over one-half of Sunday-school scholars are members of the church and over one-half cf the officers and teachers were former scholars. The present membership of the church is about 300. Three of the boys who were former scholars are now ministers.
Slay-maker's Old Stage House, and Salisbury, now Slaymakerville, L.ancaster County, Pa.
Amos Slaymaker, one of the stage line proprietors of Ree- side, Slaymaker & Co., line running from Philadelphia through Lancaster county. Pa., to the We.«t, built a' large tavern on the Philadelphia pike, about fourteen miles east of Lancaster, at Salisburyville, w^here a change of horses was made and twenty minutes allowed passengers to dine. Also stage passengers took supper and breakfast here, staying over night. Slaymaker's tavern was justly celebrated as one of the best on the road. It was the only one known as a "Stage House" on the turnpike within the county of
Historical. 27
Lancaster, though there were in all sixty taverns on the route between Lancaster and Philadelphia, or nearly one to every mile. The hotel property is now the private home of CUnton Himes.
After the railroad was built through Lancaster County, the nearest point being nearly a mile from Salisburyville, the stage line was abandoned and the glory of the place has departed. It is now known, and has been for a long number of 3^ears, as Slaymakerville. After Amos Slaymaker retired from keeping the "Stage House," he built the large stone homestead, now known as the "White Chimneys," in 1807, not far from the "Stage House," in Slaymakerville. This homestead descended to Amos Slaymaker's .son Henry Flem- ing Slaymaker, and in turn to his son, Samuel Cochran Slay- maker, and is now owned and occupied by his son, Samuel Redsecker Slaymaker, and will descend to his son. Samuel Cochran Slaymaker, second .
In the fall of 1907, a large gathering of manj^ of the rela- tives and friends commemorating the one hundredth anni- versary of the erection of the building, was given by the present owner, on which occasion the following poem was written by Mrs. Samuel Evans, whose husband was a grand- son of Amos Slaymaker, above mentioned:
When the Bible-loving Slayraakers came
To the sylvan land of Penn, Did the)' know they had chosen the rarest .spot
That ever was known to men?
Did they know that this shire would be queen of the State,
This State the queen of all On this, the Solar System's best,
Our own terrestrial ball?
History of the Slaymaker Family.
'Twas not for wealth of soil or mine,
A home or power they sought; No, 'twas for freedom to worship God
As conscience deemed they ought.
Unharmed they nursed in this blest land
The faith they held so dear, Penn's land, where men of every creed
Might worship without fear.
When came the time that tried men's souls, When might oppressed the right,
Slaymal<ers fought in Freedom's cause Till right was also miglit.
'Twas ere man had of railroads dreamed. No freight trains shook the earth,
Nor travel by steam in Stephenson's Nor Fulton's brain had birth.
Coach Conestoga's six good steeds Through woodland sped the way.
And travelers tlien were less than now Impatient of delay.
'Twas Amos Slaymaker, M. C,
Made travel elegant. Demanding for the stage coach fine
A road like adamant.
Our kindly host's progenitor
By whom this home was reared, Ser\^ed here witli gentle piety
Tlie God wliom he revered,
Not only in liis songs of praise.
Or when in prayer he knelt — - Approving conscience must be his
Whene'er with men he dealt.
29
Profound respect at Iiome, abroad,
In church and Conpcress hall, Was meted him as honor due.
And rendered him by all.
Oh! dearly prize this heritage,
'Tis more than house and lands High character to emulate
With pure heart and clean liands.
Fond friends and kindred here to-day
The host and helpmeet sweet. Bright boy and darling baby girl.
With choicest wishes greet.
Prosperity of goodness bom
And conscience free from fears Be ever with them as to-day
Through many joyous }'ears!
The Century past a beacon safe.
Will be the hght to guide To coming years of blessedness
For all who here abide.
Stage Line of Reeside, Slaymaker & Co.
The stage line of Reeside, Slaymaker & Co., running from Philadelphia to West, was owned and operated by Henry, Samuel and Amos Slaymaker, three brothers. Their barn in Lancaster, Pa., was situated on East Chestnut street, corner of Duke street. Adjoining the stables they built three one-story and a half houses, two of these, corner of Chestnut and Cherry streets and the one adjoining it, are still standing: as built, and third house west of Cherry street, o^ Chestnut street, was raised several years ago to a three- story building. The barn was burned on the evening of November 1, 1832.

The People's National Bank, Lancaster, Pa. The People's National Bank, of Lancaster, Pa., organized March 16, 1887. The first President was Samuel H. Rey- nolds, who was succeeded by J. L. Steinmetz, who in turn was succeeded by P. E. Slaymaker, who now holds the office. This institution may, in one sense, be called a Slay- maker bank; the first Cashier was P. E. Slaymaker; the present President is P. E. Slaymaker; the present Vice-Presi- dent, L W. Leidigh's daughter, Ella, married George Duf- field Slaymaker; the present Cashier, Du Bois Rohrer's wife was Annie Cornelia Slaymaker.
The Literal Translation of Schleiermacher.
The literal translation of the word Schleiermacher is a veil maker; not the kind of veil worn by women, but an awning or drapery maker; the insignia can be seen on the coat of arms.
Some old buildings recently passed out of the Slaymaker possession. Near Williamstown, on part of the original 1,000 acres taken up by Mathias Slaymaker, is a very old stone barn and house and on the same place is a spring, which is very strong, some claim that this is the original spring near which Mathias Slaymaker first settled; but as that part of the country is full of springs, this is merely conjecture. This property has been continuously in the Slaymaker family and but recently sold by the heirs of Nathaniel E. Slaymaker, thus taking it out of Slaymaker possession.
Story of Slaymaker's Bull.
The story of the Slaymaker's bull has been the cause of considerable inquiry on the part of the compiler of this book, but all seems to be uncertain. Some claim that he is all a

myth, others stating that it is not a myth, but is an actual occurrence. The story, as near as I can glean it, is that the engine was being brought up the old "State Road," now the Pennsylvania Railroad, somewhere between Leaman Place and Williamstown, Lancaster County, Pa. The bull not hking the looks of the engine, went for it with his head down ; and the engine being small in those days, not being like our large locomotives to-day, was jarred by the force of the animal and upset, being somewhat damaged but not seriously. The animal, however, did not fare this way, but was hurt so badly that it had to be afterward killed.
The ownership of the bull seems to be also in doubt. Some say that it belonged to the father of Dr. J. M. Slay- maker, of Philadelphia; others that it belonged to Captain John Slaymaker, and still others, that it belonged to Henry F. Slaymaker.
Slaymakers Not of Jewish Extraction. It has been stated to me that the Schleiermachers were of "Jewish extraction." I have made inquiry and been told that Germany, in the time of the Reformation, had very few Jews, and those had but one name and that name given to them by the government. I have been also told by Ger- mans that no Jew was allowed in the German army before 1860, so that the Schleiermachers could not have been of Jewish extraction.
The Fickel Branch. Margaret Slaymaker, daughter of the first Mathias, mar- ried Michael Fickel, whose land adjoined the Slaymaker's. many of whose descendants now live in and near Carlisle, Pa., but who cannot be arranged in proper chronological order, as no records of the descendants can be found.

Bad Treatment of the Daughter of Lawrence Slay'-
MAKER BY HeR MoTHER AND JaCOB PfOUTZ.
At the death of Lawrence Slaymaker, son of the original Mathias Slaymaker, he left a daughter, Anna Barbara, who was then under the control of her mother and Jacob Pfoutz, and who treated her so badly that her grandfather, Mathias Slaymaker, had her taken from them and raised her himself. The following paper, however, will speak for itself: To the Worshipfull the Justices of the Orphans' Court, Held

Cochran.
John Cochran left Scotland and settled in Ireland in 1570. Came from Frenos, two miles westward from Paisley, in Scot- land, Had three sons, Hugh, John and James. He was a clansman of the powerful house of Dundonald. Many of his descendants were of the gentry, most were yeomen, but all led sober, upright and righteous lives, feared God and kept His Commandments. John Cochran and his offspring hved one hundred and ten years in three towns — Moboy, Kilker- augh and Carrikeel.
Old Peter with his family and John "Ye Man," so called, and Jonathan came and settled in New England.
James, Stephen and David settled in Chester County, Pa., and laid out their farms near the rippling current of the Octoraro; James first resided in Sadsbury, in 1742. He pur- chased 135 acres additional in the same township, but it was not until the year 1745 that a large tract in common by the three brothers, James, Stephen and David, was divided and patent issued by John, Thomas and Richard Penn to James for three contiguous lots, aggregating 430 acres. The tract lay to the south of Stephen's and David's shares. Through the northern portion, near the northwestern boundary, divid- ing it from the land of Stephen's, ran the New Castle road, called the Gap and Newport Turnpike. There the little village of Cochranville by its name perpetuates the tradition of the clan whose pibroch and whose slogan have long ceased to sound on Scottish hills.
DUFFIELD.
Descended from George and Margaret, who emigrated from Ireland in 1730, and settled in Pequea, Lancaster County, Pa. They were descended from Huguenot ancestry, their forefathers having escaped from France on account of

religious persecution, and settled in England and afterwards passed over into the north of Ireland. The name was origi- nally du Fielde, but became Anglicised after the family had settled in England.
BUSHOXG.
John Bushong, a French Huguenot, sailed from Rotter- dam by way of Cowes, in ship Brittannia, of London, Michael Franklyn, master, arriving at Philadelphia in September, 1731. I Ferrees axd Lefever.
In the reign of Louis XIV., King of France, the privileges of the Protestants were openly violated. Missionaries were sent out for their conversion, supported by dragoons, and severities were exercised which excited horror and indigna- tion of all Reformed states in Europe. Inflamed by a spirit of intolerance and bigotry, Louis undertook to put an end to Protestantism. About this time the husband of Mary Ferrie, or Verre, or Ferree, resided in the town of Lindau, not far from the river Rhine, in the kingdom of France. His family consisted of himself, his wife, three sons and three daughters, Daniel, Philip, John, Catherine, Mary and Jane. The father was a silk-weaver by trade, his religion Calvinistic, and, therefore, became a sufferer from Louis' bigotry. Troops drove the Protestants from the town and murdered a number of them and destroyed their property. The Ferrees fled to Germany, near Strasburg, residing there two years. On leaving France they were accompanied by a young man, Isaac LeFevre, whose relatives had all been murdered in the religious persecutions. Before leaving Germany, Mr. Ferree died, jjis widow, after that, was not pleased to be called by any but her maiden name, Mary Warrinbuer. After eaving Germany, they came to London, England, from there

to New York, going to Esopus, above New York city. After two years there, they came to Philadelphia, thence to Lan- caster County, Pa., to the Pequea settlement.
Shortly after they landed in America Isaac LeFevre mar- ried Catharine, daughter of Mary Ferree, from whom nearly all the LeFevres now living in Lancaster County, Pa., de- scend, although the George Lefever who married Anna Barbara Slaymaker, whose descendants live largely in Adams and Cumberland Counties, Pa., I am inclined to think do not belong to this LeFevre family, but to the ones who settled in New York State, but I would not give this as a fact, only my own opinion. -i -j Qfl'^'^f^
Fleming. WilHam Fleming, a native of Greenock, Scotland, had an uncle who was a sea-faring man and owned one or more vessels, in which he took merchandise of a miscellaneous character to America, and brought cargoes of tobacco and wheat on his return voyage to Scotland. LTpon one occa- sion, when this uncle arrived at Greenock, his nephew, William, then a minor, went down to the vessel to see him. The former persuaded him to make a voyage to America and help work the ship and see the new country. Whether the young man's parents were dead or whether he ran away from home is unknown. In due time the vessel arrived in Chesapeake bay, at the commencement of the harvest time, in the latter part of about 16S0. His uncle persuaded him to go ashore and help the farmers witli their harvest, and said it would be a month or more before he would be ready to sail for Scot- land. William began work for a farmer, and while thus engaged, the vessel sailed without him. He then discovered that his uncle had bound him as a servant to the farmer for a period of four years. He never saw his uncle again but

made the most of his surrounding circumstances and served the farmer faithfully during the term of his indenture. Crops along the Chesapeake were poor, and so at the expiration of his term he found employment in the family of Richard Moore, an Englishman, in Concord Township, Delaware County. After a short time he married their daughter, Mary Moore. In 1714 he moved his family near Coatesville. He erected his dwelling where Lukens' rolling mill now stands, along Brandj^ine Creek, and planted an orchard. He died in 1733. He had the following children: John, Wil- liam, Henry, George, James, Peter, Mary, who married Daniel Cowan, and Susannah, who married William Cowan. James Fleming, above son of William Fleming, had a son John Flem- ing, known as John Fleming, Sr., who had a son John Flem- ing, Jr., who had a son Henry Fleming, who was married to Let it ia Parke. John Fleming, Jr., married Mary Slaymd.ker, daughter of Henry Sla.ymaker.
Jones and Richardson.
An old Welch Quaker lived at what is now the home of Samuel R. Slaymaker, Slaymakerville, Lancaster Countj', Pa., named Samuel Jones. His son, Henry Jones, had two sons, William Jones, called "Captain" Jones, for he com- manded a privateer in the days of the Revolution and since has been a man of note in Philadelphia; when the Bank of the United States was chartered, in 1816, he was made president of it. Lloyd Jones, the other son, followed the sea all his life. Samuel Jones' eldest daughter, Mary, was born on the high sea and first married Lawrence Richardson, of Leacock, July 21, 1732, and had two children — John Rich- ardson, of Ohio, and Faithful Richardson, who married Henry Slaymaker. Mary Jones Richardson, after the death of her husband, married Thomas Green, an Englishman;

children, Susana, married John Clemson, and Hannah, married Joshua Way.
McIlvaine.
The Mcllvaines originated, or once lived in Bally Mence, Ireland, but sprang from the Scottish clan, McBane and McVean, which became through time the present name. The badge of the clan and coat of arms bears the inscription "Touch not a cat, but with gloves." The exact date when the Mcllvaine's came to this countrj^ I cannot give, but it must have been at an early day. George McIlvaine was lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. The first authentic record that I could secure was that William McIlvaine mar- ried Mary DuflBeld, sister of Rev. George Duffield, pastor of Old Pine Street Church and Chaplain of Continental Con- gress.
Reichert, now Reigart.
Ulrich Reichert was born in Schwegenheim, Bavaria, March, 1695; married Anna Maria Merkel, who was born March, 1701, in Schwegenheim, in Churpfaltz (Electorate of the Palatinate), two hours from Spire. Her father was Abraham Merkel, weaving master; her mother was Margaret. When Anna Maria was ten years old, her father died; when she was twelve, she united with the church, and when she was twenty-one, was married. They emigrated to Penn- sylvania in 1738, had nine children — four sons and two daughters. Ulrich, above mentioned, died March 15, 1766; his wife died October 30, 1768. Their second son, Adam Reigart, married Catherine Yeiser, nee Carpenter, widow of Frederick Yeiser. After her death, Adam Reigart married Susana Franks. They had no children.
Adam and Catherine Reigart had a son, Adam Reigart,

The above only illustrate a few of the many positions held by the descendants of Mathias Schleiermacher.
Lawrence Slaymaker, oldest son of Mathias Slaymaker, the first, died some years before his father, leaving a small daughter, who was raised by her grandfather. At his death, Mathias Schleiermacher left the bulk of his property to his four sons — John. Henrj', Mathias and Daniel — a small por- tion being given to his two daughters, Barbara and j\Iar- garet.

DESCENDANTS OF HENRY SLAYMAKER.
Henry Slaymakek, fourth son of Mathias Schleierniacher, married Faithful Richardson (b. Aug._, 1734; m., April 23, 1754; d., Sept. 25, 1785). He was an active and conspicuous Whig during the Revolutionary War and among the first to take a stand with the Republic. Active measures were taken by the British authorities to prevail on the inhabitants to take protections from the Crown. Henry Slaymaker was called upon to take one, but refused. Being a magistrate, he administered the oath of allegiance to those who espoused the cause and was prompt in suppressing any efforts on the part of the Tories at insurrection and in punishing them for furnishing the British army with horses and provisions, which they were stealing in the eastern end of Lancaster County, Pa. He was a member of an association of young men who entered into articles of agreement for the purpose of suppressing all who were called Tories, and he had at all times information of what was going on so as to suppress any attempt at rising against the Republic, and he would order them out when any information was given of the pres- ence of the Tories in the neighborhood. He helped to clear the ground where the old jail stood, now the site of Fulton Opera House. After Mr. Hubley became too old to try cases, Hy. Slaymaker was appointed principal Judge and served 182

for one year. He was a delegate to the convention for fram- ing a constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, which met in Philadelphia, July 15, 1776. He was an elder of the Leacock Presbyterian church, Lancaster County, Pa. They had ten children, as follows:
1. Amos Slaymaker (b., March 11, 1755; m., Sept. 19, 1780; d., June 22, 1837), married Isabella Fleming. He served in the Revolutionary War as ensign (two terms) of the company commanded by his uncle, John Slay- maker, and was a member of an association for sup- pressing the Tories in the eastern end of the county, at the head of which was Colonel James Mercer. They were in danger of being shot down at their daily occu- pation by the disaffected of the neighborhood. He was magistrate for many years, county commissioner in 1800, a member of the House of Representatives in 1810-11, a member of the Senate of Pennsylvania from 1806-1810, member of Congress of the United States, 1814-1815, at which time he, with a number of others, lent their credit to the government by en- dorsing notes in the Georgetown Bank for it, when in financial difficulties for the speedy defense of New Orleans. He and his two brothers, Henry and Sam- uel, were proprietors of the great stage line of Reeside, Slaymaker & Co., from Philadelphia to the West, before the time of railroads. During service under his uncle, Capt. John Slaymaker, in New Jersey, he came home on a furlough and was intrusted with a letter from Mr. Fleming, who was a member of the same company, to his father, Daniel Fleming, of Salisbury, Pa. He there met Miss Fleming, with whom he fell in love and shortly after married. They had eleven chil- dren, as follows:

youngest son of Mathias Schleiermacher, was left as executor of his father's estate. Daniel was with General Washington under General Braddock when Braddock was killed by the French and Indians, near where Pittsburg now stands. He enlisted as a private during the Revolutionarj' War and marched to Virginia with the army and was detailed as team- ster, and upon one time, probably at Brandywine, when in full retreat, three of his horses were shot, the one at the off side of the tongue was not injured (he was blind). Upon this horse Daniel mounted and made his escape, saving only his rifle. While encamped in Virginia with a small division of the army, Daniel was on picket duty and while there en- gaged, a Hessian soldier made some insulting remarks which exasperated Daniel, who raised his rifle and shot the Hessian. He was courtmartialed, the circumstances related which brought about the shooting and he was cleared. Near the end of the war he took camp fever and did not recover until after the war was over. He married Agilis Young. Her parents came from Ireland and settled in the Cumberland Valley, near where Shippensburg, Pa., now stands. When she was a young girl the Indians became enraged about something and the white people had to flee from that part of the country and Agilis and her parents came to Lancaster

Little Olsen waded right into the thickest of it, picking off Spaniards at a great rate with an ordinary rifle that spouted smoke in such a fashion that he made a per- fect mark for the enemj% and it was probably due to his agility that he didn't meet his death sooner."
