The history of the Hench family was read by Rev. Silas M. Hench at the reunion held Aug. 14, 1902.

Brothers, kindred, friends, descendants of noble sires, we greet you ; we greet one another with open hands for friendly grasp and hearts full to overflow- ing with glad and grateful thoughts.

From far and near we have gathered here amid the hills and vales we love so well, because here are our homes, or here they have been; because among them have been the places of our birth and the scenes of our childhood and youth ; and more, we love them be- cause of the priceless inheritance left us here by our forefathers not simply in these goodly hills and fruit- ful valleys, but inestimably richer in the blessings of civil and religious liberty which we enjoy, and in the physical, intellectual, and moral powers purchased by their toil and sacrifices, their sufferings and blood, and bequeathed to us.

A century or more ago, following the star of em- pire, moving westward, they came from the eastern part of this state, into this, then an almost trackless wilderness. And what a century among the centuries it has been for us, for this land, and for the world, the best of all the centuries !

Looking back over it from this vantage ground and marking the marvelous changes, we feel to-day that could their eyes see what our €yes behold, and their hearts know and feel what our hearts have known and realized, they would be filled with a great wonder and

astonishment. They never fancied nor ever dreamed that it might or could be thus. And to us who gladly honor them for what they were, what they achieved and endured, could they speak they would doubtless say: "Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Him whose we are, in whom we have trusted, our Guide, our Helper, and our Shield, give all the honor and glory."

A half century or more before their pilgrimage from that first settlement in the new world to the next here, their ancestor and ours, with thousands of others, fled from tyranny and religious persecutions in their fatherland beyond the Rhine.

They loved their home, their native land, their kin- dred and friends, but for sake of God and their pos- terity, and for faith or creed, and simple liberty to pray they would forsake home and fatherland and seek a wilderness. They were :

"Men who for the simple sake of God All titles, riches would refuse; And in their stead disgrace and shame And bitter poverty would choose."

"And these were they who gave us birth, The Pilgrims of the sunset wave; Who won for us this virgin earth And freedom with the soil they gave."

More than two centuries ago the Palatinate along the Rhine and border provinces had repeatedly been ravaged by cruel and merciless war. Their cities, towns, and villages were burned, their property con- fiscated or destroyed, their crops and vineyards trod- den down, and their churches and schools ruined.

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 5

Finding no rest, no peace, nor security in their own land many thousands of them fled down the Rhine and found refuge in Holland, and other thousands in England for a time. In England many found a sym- pathetic friend in William Penn, whose mother had been of the Reformed faith, and he invited many of them to come to America.

Queen Anne, of England, also invited them, and even bore the expense of transportation for many of them to come to the Colonies.

During the first half of the eighteenth century many thousands of these Germans came over to seek homes here. Among these German emigrants was Johonnis Hench, or Hauge, a blacksmith by trade, from Wur- temburg, who landed at Philadelphia on the ship Lydia, Sept. 20, 1743. After a time he returned to Wurtemburg, doubtless to seek a helpmeet, if he had not already found one for whom he returned, make h-er his own, and bring her with him to share his hopes and fears, his joys and sorrows, and help him make a home in the new world. Thus far no record has been found of his wife's name, nor the date of their marriage, nor the date of their birth. However, ac- cording to his age at time of his death, he was born about the year 1712. He returned to America, land- ing in Philadelphia Sept. 2, 1749, on the ship Chester- field. He settled in Vincent Township, Chester County, but ere long removed to Pikeland Township, of same county, where about 1753, he bought land. His name appears on the list of Chester County tax- ables from 1756 to 1778, and later, as follows:

ings, 45 acres woodland,

5 sheep, I servant man and blacksmith. In 1770 he bought the farm of John Millhouse, ad- joining that of Johannis Hartman, in Pikeland, and carried on farming and blacksmithing. In 1774 the tax list has this record: John Hanch, Pikeland, 286 acres and buildings, 4 horses, 6 cattle, 4 sheep. 1778 — John Hench, Pikeland, 220 acres and buildings,

cows. All this tells plainly of years of untiring energy, perseverance, and thrift on the part of pioneer John Hench and his family. Starting out with only his trade, his vigorous, physical constitution, and fixed purpose to succeed, he goes into the forest, with no roads except at great distances, and only bridle-paths. Felling the trees and hewing the logs with his ax, they build their primitive dwelling. It consists of kitchen and bedroom on first floor, and over the next is the garret for the children. The joists are hewn timbers,

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 7

open with floor over. The partitions are of wood. There are no plastered walls. There was the large, open fire-place, with crane, andirons and long-handled skillet to shield the cook from the heat. The doors swing on wooden hinges and are fastened by wooden latch, the string of which hangs on the outside. Hence the old saying, "The latch-string hangs outside."

Window glass, then an article of import, was scarce and expensive, and instead they used heavy oiled paper. Even as late as eighteen hundred, when St. Peters' church, in Pikeland, was rebuilt, some panes of glass that were left over were loaned to certain parties. Salt was the concomitant, spices were luxuries. Sugar was not an article of everyday use. A small amount was kept on hand for company that might come. As soon as the bees could be cultivated honey became the great sweetener. Then the delicious buckwheat cake and honey were favorite dishes. Parched rye took the place of coffee. But with all these drawbacks the emigrants reared strong, healthy, robust families. Our stamina and vigor came from them and their depriva- tion of luxuries and comforts.

To John Hench and his wife were born eight chil- dren— five sons and three daughters. The sons were named Peter, Henry, John, Jacob, and George ; the daughters, Alaria Elizabeth, Christina, Betsy or Eliza- beth. All lived to grow up to manhood and woman- hood.

In the noble spirit of patriotism this family was not wanting. Love and devotion to country burned in their bosoms, and at its call to defense they responded even to the sacrifice of property and of life itself. Two

8 Records of the x\nnual

sons, Peter, a fifer and drummer, and Henry, enlisted on a war vessel in the war of the Revolution, in 1774. They were afterward captured and died of neglect and starvation on a prison ship at New York, and were buried under a mound in Trinity church yard. New York. Their names, or at least that of Peter, is found in the Penna. Archives.

The third son, John, then enlisted in 1777 and was made Second Lieutenant, Fourth Batallion Penna. Con- tinental Line, under Major Peter Hartman, a kinsman. His name also appears in the Penna. Archives. Not only in the field, but also at home, they rendered val- uable service to the cause of freedom, by furnishing cattle to the army; and Mrs. Hench rendered what service she could to the sick and wounded soldiers in the hospital at Yellow Springs, which was not far from their home. Some incidents worthy of note on this line are recorded by Dr. William D. Hartman, great-grandson of Mrs. Hench. After the battle of Brandywine a portion of General Wayne's division re- treated across the valley hill and encamped in the eve- ning in the meadow on John Hench's farm. Mr. Hench, who was a strong Whig, told the soldiers they were welcome to take whatever they wanted. As soon as their tents were pitched, and their camp-fires were lighted from the fences in the vicinity, forty head of fat bullocks were driven into the barnyard and the slaughtering continued until a sufficient number were secured to supply their wants. So soon as the skin was taken off a slaughtered animal many of the sol- diers who were shoeless, and their feet sore and bleed- ing, gathered around and placing their feet on the

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 9

flesh-side of the skin and doubling it around their foot in the form of a shoe, secured it with thongs cut from the same.

A large peach orchard adjoining the camp was stripped of its fruit, and the next morning every sol- dier had a knapsack full of peaches. During that whole night Mrs. Hench was occupied at her dough- tray kneading and making bread for the officers.

The next morning, observing some commotion among the officers about the house, she found upon inquiry that two wounded officers who occupied sep- arate beds in one of the rooms were about to fight a duel sitting up in their beds, and their waiters were down stairs cleaning and loading their pistols for the fray. She soon settled the quarrel by taking the pis- tols from the waiters, and going to the officers' room gave them a lecture, ending with the declaration that she would not permit such conduct in her house. The quarrel arose from a dispute in reference to the battle of Brandywine a few days previous. Before they left she succeeded in restoring friendship between them. But in this brave and patriotic w-ife's and mother's devotion to country, through her ministries to the sick and wounded soldiers in the hospital, erected by Wash- ington at Yellow Springs, she and also her neighbor and kinswoman, Abigail Rice, wife of Zachary Rice, both contracted typhus fever, from which they after- ward died.

Another feature or character in the life and makeup of these German emigrants, and one which we do well to cherish in memory and emulate, as indeed the most essential feature, was the strength and cultivation of

lo Records of the Annual

their moral and spiritual natures. Physical vigor and energy they had to a marked degree, and intellectual vigor, but either of these alone, or even combined, will not produce a strong, well-rounded character without the moral and spiritual stream. What the rudder is to the ship to guide it and the ballast to steady it in the storm, these the moral and spiritual forces cul- tured and developed, are to human life and character moving amid the stress and storm of life, upward to the port of peace.

Those emigrants brought with them from the father- land their Bibles and hymn books, their catechisms and devotional books, and their respect for and devo- tion to God and truth, the Church and home, the school and country. Wherever and as soon as it was possible they had their church home and their German pastor, and German schoolmaster. The latter taught their children in the German language to read, write, etc., and when the church was without a pastor, as was many of them, or but few churches, the school- master took the place of the minister in the religious training of the young.

St. Vincent German Reformed church was the old mother church in Chester County. Here our ancestor, John Hench, and his family, attended church, and doubtless later on perhaps to some extent at St. Peter's church at Pikeland. But the records of St. Vincent church contain the confirmations of nearly all his chil- dren, six of them, with dates of their confirmation from 1776 to 1778, and the ages of each at the time of the confirmation.

Also the records of the baptisms of several of his

Hexch and Dromgold Reunion ii

grandchildren. From our kinsman, Mr. John M. Hart- man, of Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, who has done so much and spared no pains and expense in gathering the rec- ords and employing the data for the history of the ancestry of our kindred families, we quote the follow- ing:

From this old mother church went forth a numer- ous family to build up our country and leave their im- press for good on the communities in which they set- tled. Many of them migrated to Perry County. On the old church books appear the names of Henche, Shull, Hippie, Yeager, Acker, Laubach, Naylor, Foose, Reiss, Hartman, Shimer, Christman, Wagner, Miller, Stiteler, Olewein, Hass, Kepner, etc. These names are still to be found in Perry County. The first John Henche was called a Presbyterian, but it comes from the original name of Vincent church the title of which in Halle, Germany, was Presbyterian. The original communion set of St. Vincent was of German silver or pewter, and inscribed : "From the Church in Halle to the Presbyterian Church in Schuylkill."

The Hench family lived prosperously and happily in Chester County, until the spring of 1789, when their land was seized by the foreclosure of an old English mortgage. John Hench, with 113 other farmers lost his property. In the succession of owners, from Wil- liam Penn down, Pikeland Township was finally held by Samuel Hoare, a wealthy merchant of London. Hoare sold Pikeland tract to Andrew Allen, a mer- chant of Philadelphia. Allen paid Hoare a small part of the contract price and gave him a mortgage for the balance. Allen then divided the tract into farms

12 Records of the An'nual

of two hundred and three hundred acres, and sold them to the German emigrants as they arrived, and pocketed the money. Being a man of prominence, and a member of the Continental Congress, there was no suspicion of any fraudulent action on his part. After the Revolution was on and Lord Howe had captured Trenton, Allen turned traitor, went to Trenton and threw himself upon Lord Howe for protection. Later he went to London and died. These German emi- grants, relying upon Allen's honesty, accepted the papers he gave them when they paid the money and made no back searches for titles.

After the Revolution was over and civil courts were established in Chester County, Ezekiel Howard, the sheriff, was given writs to sell out all the Pikeland tract under foreclosure of the Hoare-Allen mortgage, dated August 26, 1789. Every farm was sold and even St. Peter's church, built by the emigrants, went to satisfy the greed of the Merchant Hoare. This caused widespread disaster, as many of the farmers were now left without property, and must begin over again to secure homes. John Hench being unable to redeem his property, it was bought by Nicholas Ickes, who soon afterward took possession thereof.

Thus for one who had toiled so many years, and met other sad losses, the death of two sons in the Revolutionary War, and then that of his faithful wife, now at nearly four score years to see the fruits of all his toil so quickly and unexpectedly taken away, must have been a heavy stroke. But with other children strong and brave and true still about him, and grand- children rising up to give cheer and promise of com-

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 13

fort, we find that he still gave his strength and thought to the duties and affairs of practical life.

Among others who lost their farms was Zachary Rice, neighbor of John Hench, and ancestor of the Rice family. He is well known to all from the well- prepared history of the family given here on a former similar occasion. Zachary was the father of twenty- one children, seventeen of whom remained to him after the death of his wife Abigail. His descendants to-day are a numerous host. He. with his children, then set out in search of cheaper land. Three of his children, one son and two daughters, had married two sons and one daughter of John Hench. Zachary Rice and children proceeded westward till they found a suitable place in :Milford Township, Mifflin County, later Juniata County. There he bought a tract of land and settled on it in 1790. About that time or soon after his sons-in-law, John and Jacob Hench, also set- tled, the one in the same county, and the other in what became the county of Perry. After a few more years the aged patriarch, their father, followed these chil- dren, with his two other daughters, and settled in Mil- ford Township, Juniata County, about 1800 or 1801. He was 90 years old or over at that time. His son John, who married Margaret Rice, was a blacksmith, and in the pursuit of his trade, carried his anvil and tools on his back from place to place in the sparse settlements where he worked for the early settlers. He died in November, 1800, aged fifty years, and was buried at Loysville, Perry County.

The will of Emigrant John Hench, a copy of which we have here to-day, was made June 28, 1801. This

14 Records of the Annual

was but a short while before the testator's death, as the will was probated December 9, 1801. He was buried at Academia, Juniata County, Pa. The legatees named in the will were his surviving children, the widow of his deceased son John, and children and grandson John, of his son John.

The nobility of spirit, the paternal devotion to his children, and his simple trust in God remained with him to the end of life. Well may we honor his mem- ory and emulate his virtues. We should like to-day to trace out for you the branches of the family tree, but time forbids this. We may give here to the third and fourth generation the names, especially that bring down the original family name of Hench ; the more complete record or history will, we trust, be given you later in a permanent form, when time permits us to accomplish this.

Those noble ancestors have done well their work, and they call us to follow on and rise to the eminence they foreshadowed and which the privileges we enjoy and the time we live in demand of us.

" 'Neath hoary moss on crumbling stones Their names are fading day by day, The fashion of their lives and speech From sight and sound have passed away.

"We owe them all we have of good, Our sunny skies, our fertile fields. Our freedom which to all oppressed, A continent of refuge yields."

The Henches were noted for their great strength and longevity. Remarkable feats of strength were said to have been performed by Peter Hench. Henry Hench was known between Perry County and Balti- more as "Whip cracker Harry," because of his skill in cracking his long blacksnake whip. Among these families there have been successful merchants, manu- facturers, mechanics, and artisans of various kinds. Some of them have adorned the profession of law, teaching, and the ministry. Useful machinery has given the stamp of inventive genius to the name, and the manufactures whose names stand at the beginning of this reunion title, to whose thought and effort we

owe its origin and much of its success, have done much to carry the name to the bounds of our country and to foreign lands.

GENEALOGV OF NICHOLAS ICKES.

About the beginning of the seventeenth century, under the guidance of William Penn, a colony of Ger- mans consisting of 3,000 persons from the kingdom of Upper Saxony, under the control of Frederick the Wise, came to Pennsylvania. The reason of the emi- gration of the colony was on account of persecution by the Catholics. The colony came from Eisleben, near where Martin Luther was born. The Catholics and Protestants were at war. William Penn came there to get farmers, and as thes-e people were tired of war they concluded to come to America. There was a family who came with the colony by the name of Coblents. (Michael Ickes was married to one of his daughters.) Peter the Great confiscated his property and he decided to come to America. He set- tled at Albany, N. Y., where some of his descendants still live. From there they came to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and went by the name of Cope- land. The Baron lived to be 112 years.

In that colony there was an Ickes, who had four sons and three daughters ; none of the children were married when they came to this county. The colony was located in Montgomery County, north of the

24 Records of the Annual

Schuylkill River, and west and northwest of the Perkiomen Creek. The township was called Limerick, and the one joining was called Frederick. Mr. Ickes located i,ooo acres of land and divided it between his four sons. Mr. Ickes built a house on the land in 1717, which in 1880 was still standing. Michael Ickes, the father of Nicholas Ickes, received the northwest corner as his share, and built a house on it, where Nicholas Ickes was born; also four of his children, Elizabeth, Samuel, Susan, and Jonas. Of the four brothers who came with that colony John was the eldest, Peter the second, George the third, and Michael the fourth. All the brothers left there except Michael. John and Peter settled in Adams County, one at Lit- tlestown and the other at Abbottstown. George settled in Bedford County, north of Bedford, and Michael re- mained in Montgomery County until his death. He was drowned in the Schuylkill River, at which time Nicholas came into his possessions. There were five children, Nicholas, Samuel, Michael, and two girls. The law at that time gave the eldest more than the rest : Nicholas received two hundred pounds, which would be five hundred and thirty dollars in our money, and the others received one hundred pounds. Nicholas took the farm at the appraisement and paid the heirs their share out of it ; the widow's dower remained in the place. Nicholas was married to Mary Magdalen^ Christman, of Montgomery County, 1785. He wen,' into the war as a substitute (when he was sixteen year old), for George Evans, and remained until peace wa declared. Nicholas Ickes left Montgomery County in 1795 and settled in Cumberland County, in Sherman's

Hench and Dromgold Reunion' 25

\'alley. After a lapse cf twenty-five years, on March 20, 1820, Perry County was taken off Cumberland County. Nicholas bought 230 acres of land from Rob- ert Robinson, now in Perry County. He also bought 260 acres of mountain land from Dr. ISIaley, and sold 130 acres to Charles Elliot. He also bought 170 acres from George Sanderson, on part of which Ickesburg was located in 1816, on which he lived, and where he died March 25, 1S48, aged 84 years.

Thus far we go by traditions. The earliest authentic record we have is a John Jacob Ick, who arrived from \\'urtemburg, Germany, Sept. 22,, 1741, at Philadelphia, on ship Marlborough, and was born in 1718. During September, 1745. Anna Barbara Ickes married Abra- ham Marley, of Skippack ; this was one of the first marriages on record on the books of the Trappe Lu- theran church. Anna Barbara was born Aug. 7, 1721, and was a sister of Nicholas (i) Ickes. On the loth of December, 1745, Nicholas (i) Ickes bought of Mary Hilliard, Rebecca Steel, William Sheet, and Elizabeth, his wife, Richard Renshaw, and Anna, his wife, and James Thompson, 228 acres with appurte- nances in Limerick Township, Philadelphia, Pa., re- corded in Deed Book G, Vol. 8, page jt,. the said Limerick Township being now in Montgomery County. Nicholas (i) and Anna Clara, his wife, sold part of the 228 acres, comprising fifty-five acres, to Albert Fontertine, on May 6, 1749. Nicholas (i) and Anna Clara, his wife, bought of Lynford Gardner, 105 acres in Limerick Township, Dec. 29, 1756. Nicholas (i) Ickes contributed five shillings towards the purchase of a bell for the Swamp or New Hanover Lutheran

2,^ Records of the Annual

church in 1748. Nicholas (i) Ickes' son Michael was confirmed at the age of 17, on April 17, 1756. At the same time Nicholas' (i) son John was confirmed at the age of 16 years. This shows they were born in 1739 and 1740, respectively. Nicholas (i), by will dated July i, 1763, left certain bequests, but destroyed the will and wrote another as follows :

In the Name oe God, Amen.

This eigth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-five. I, Nicholas Ickes, of Limerick Township, in Philadelphia County, and Province of Pennsylvania, Freeholder, being sick and weak in body, but of perfect memory and under- standing, thanks be unto God therefore, calling unto mind the mortality of my body, knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make this my last will and testament, renouncing all others formerly made and done by me heretofore, and that in manner and form following, that is to say —

First. My will is, that all my just debts and funeral charges be paid by my executors hereinafter named and appointed.

Secondly. Whereas I have sometime ago made ?. certain article with my two sons, namely, Michael and John, concerning my two plantations, what every one was to give me, and my wife, their mother, yearly, as long as we both lived. Therefore my will is that my two sons aforesaid shall pay unto their mother, Anna Clara, my beloved wife, five pounds apiece, money of this Province, yearly, as long as she lives, and that to begin after my decease, instead of that, what they was

/

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 27

to deliver us in the article. Further, shall my beloved wife, Anna Clara, have the use and profit of my per- sonal estate as long as she lives, let it be in ready money, bonds, bills, book-accounts, whatsoever be- longeth to me, and after my wife's decease my personal estate, what is left, shall be equal distributed among all my children. Further I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife over and above the aforesaid ten pounds a year, her mare saddle and bridle, her bed and bedstead, her clothes-press, one good cow, and Michael, my son, is to pasture and fodder her mare and cow summer and winter as his own, and my walnut table ■ and also is she to have her free seat and peaceable abode in my little stone house, as long as she lives.

Thirdly. I give and devise unto my eldest son Michael, my plantation whereon I lived, containing one hundred and seventy-three acres of land, with all rights, titles and appurtenances, thereunto belonging and I empower my beloved wife to make him a good title out of my title to him the said Michael, his heirs and assigns, forever. And further is he to have over and above the aforesaid plantation, four acres of my other plantation, where my spring-house is, so that the spring is within the four acres of land, to him and his heirs and assigns, forever, and my son John shall make him a title out of his title, after my decease, for keep- ing his mother's creatures and attending her in her age.

Fourthly. I give and devise unto my youngest son John, my other plantation, containing, after the four acres deducted, one hundred and seventy-six acres of land, with all rights, titles and appurtenances there- unto belonging, and I empower my beloved wife to

28 Records of the Annual

make him a good title out of my titles, to him the said John, his heirs and assigns forever.

Fifthly. Whereas my daughter Anna Maria has al- ready received the sum of one hundred pounds, yet my two sons, Michael and John, shall pay her the fur- ther sum of one hundred pounds, Pennsylva. currency, in two years time after my decease.

Lastly. I make and ordain this my beloved wife, and my eldest son Michael, to be my only and sole executors of this my last will and testament ratifying this present, and no other, to be my last will and tes- tament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand the seal, the day and year first above written. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said testator for and as his last will and test. In the presence of us.

Philada., August 5th, 1765, then personally appeared Michael Walter and Adam Curtz, the witnesses to the foregoing will, and on oath did declare they saw and heard, Nicholas Ickes, the testator, therein named, sign, seal, publish and declare the same will for and as his last will and testament, and that at the doing thereof he was of sound mind, memory and under- standing to the best of their knowledge.

Coram. Wm. Plumsted, Jus. of Pc.

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 29

Aug. 2, 1755.

The inventory of the estate shows Nicholas to have been a money lender as follows : Two bonds of Michael Ickes; one bond of John Ickes ; one bond of Peter Milford; one bond of Adam Brandt; book ac- count Abraham Stattler ; book account John Ickes ; book account Michael Ickes; book account James Brooke.

By this will we see Nicholas (i) had only three chil- dren, Michael, John, and Anna Maria. Michael, the oldest, was left 173 acres of his farm and Nicholas (i) gives his wife full power to make a good title to her son Michael. This will was probated Aug. 5, 1765. The records of the Swamp or Hanover church, now in Montgomery County, show Nicholas (i) was buried July, 1765, aged 51 years, which makes his birth in 1714.

In 1744 Catherine Ickes, an orphan child, was con- firmed at Hanover church. As the Lutheran Church confirmed children about fourteen years of age, she was born about 1730, and could not have been a child of Nicholas (i).

John Jacob Ick arrived from Wurtemberg at Phila- delphia on ship Marlborough, Sept. 23. 1741, and was born about 171S. We have here Nicholas (i), born in 1714; John Jacob, born in 1718; Anna Barbara Ickes, born in 1721, and Catherine, born about 1730. This shows there existed an Ickes family older than Nich- olas (i) and these were probably the children of that family. This would account for what Susan Harding says : "In that colony there was an Ickes who had four

30 Records of the Annual

sons and three daughters." Susan Harding gives the names of the sons, John, Peter, George, and ^Michael. The latter name, Michael, is an error ; it should be Nicholas (i), as the will shows that Michael (2) was a son of Nicholas (i). This has been a mere trans- position of names. John (3) Ickes and his wife, Christina, sold to Jacob Barnhard part of his tract, comprising sixty-five acres, in Limerick Township, on May 17, 1757. This Jacob Barnhard arrived on the same ship with John Jacob Ick in 1741. There was probably a family connection here.

Michael (2) Ickes, confirmed April 12, 1756, mar- ried first Elizabeth Coblentz, or Koblin, daughter of John Koblin. She was buried Nov. 26, 1768, aged 21 years, 5 months, 2 weeks, and 6 days. There is no record of children born to them. Michael (2) Ickes married 2d Catharine Acker, Nov. 14, 1769. Their children were Nicholas (3), Samuel (3), Michael (3), and two girls. The Hanover church records show :

" Ickes, child of Michael and Catherine Acker

Ickes, was born , baptized April 14, 1773.

Sponsors, Daniel Mertz and wife. John, son of Michael and Catherine Ickes, born Dec. 7, 1775, baptized April 7, 1776. Sponsors, John and Margaret Miller. Michael (2) was deacon of the congregation — New Hanover church, and was drowned in the Schuylkill River, and buried May 16, 1778, aged 37 years. Michael appears in the tax list of 1776 for 150 acres, two horses and three cows. Nicholas Coblentz arrived in Philadelphia Oct. 7, 1743, and was said to have been born in Ger- many in 1698. Jacob Coblentz, by will dated April 5, 1785, gave to his three relatives, Peter, David, and

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 31

Philip Coblentz, his property in Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County, and reserves certain moneys for the Presbyterian church, St. Michael's Lutheran church, Gemiantown, and a school near James Me- hannon's. From some of these Coblentzs Michael (2) got his first wife. The Coblentzs are mentioned in Susan Harding's book and her narrative is founded on some facts which this proves.

John Jacob Ickes being of the same generation of our Nicholas Ickes, it is apparent he went back to Germany on a visit, as was the custom in those days among the thrifty, well-to-do people, of which the Ickeses were an example. On his return he brought back Jacob Barnhard, who bought the property of John and Christina Ickes in 1757.

Anna Barbara Ickes, wife of Abraham Markley, had the following children: Isaac, married Jane Lane; Elizabeth, married Matthias Tyson; Abraham, mar- ried Mary Magdalene Crasser; Benjamin, married Hannah Wentz ; Jacob, married Christina Antes;

Marie Barbara, married Warthman; John,

married Elizabeth Heiser; David (single), Samuel (single). Abraham migrated to South Carolina, near Charleston. His children were all girls. They inter- married in the Lee family, and one of the descendants built the fortification around Charleston during the Civil War. Benjamin was a member of legislature and judge of Montgomery County. His daughter, Sarah, married Gen. Philip Boyer, and their son, Ben- jamin Markley Boyer, was president judge of Mont- gomery County.

Nicholas (3), born 1764, confirmed xA.pril 20, 1783,

32 Records of the Annual

by Rev. Christian Streit, married Mary Magdalene Christman, of Montgomery County, in 1785. Eliza- beth Ickes, daughter of Nicholas and Magdalene Ickes, born Oct. 5, 1787, baptized Dec. 12, 1789. Sponsor, Grandparents Jacob and Elizabeth Christman.

Samuel Ickes (4), born March 29, 1789, baptized Dec. 12, 1789. Sponsor, Samuel Ickes. Susanna (4), born Feb. 11, 1791, died young. Jonas (4), born Feb. 3, 1790. Catherine (4), born Dec. 31, 1795. Nicholas (4), born , died in 1797.

Michael's (2) family appear to have lived on the old estate until the death of Michael (2), when his son Nicholas (3) applied to the court for a division of the estate. He got title to the property, paying off the other heirs 608 pounds, Pennsylvania currency.

On April 5, 1790, Nicholas (3) and Magdalene, his wife, sold his farm of 228 acres, to John Hendricks, of Limerick. The following speaks for itself:

Received April 8th, 1791, of Nicholas Ickes, the sum of One Hundred and Sixty-one Pounds, Ten Shil- lings and Fifteen Pence, towards the first payment of the Plantation, I sold him in Pikeland Town- ship, which I promise to pay to the attorneys of Sam'l Hore to obtain an article of agreement be- tween them and me, which agreement I am to assign to said Ickes when delivered to him with said attorney's receipt for said money he is to de- liver me this receipt. John Hange.

In the succession of owners from William Penn down, Pikeland Township was finally held by Samuel Hoare, a rich London merchant. Hoare sold the Pike-

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 33

land tract to Andrew Allen, a Philadelphia marchant, who paid Hoare a small sum on account of the tract and gave him a mortgage for the balance. Allen then divided the tract into two and three hundred acre farms and sold it to the German emigrants as they ar- rived, pocketing the money. Being a prominent man and a member of the Continental Congress, he was un- suspected of such fraudulent actions. After the Revo- lution was on and Lord Howe had captured Trenton, Allen turned traitor, went to Trenton and threw him- self upon Lord Howe for protection. Later he went to London, where he died. These German emigrants, trusting to Allen's honesty, accepted the papers, which he gave them when they paid the money and made no back searches for titles. After the Revolution was over and civil courts were established in Chester County, Ezekiel Howard, the sheriff was given writs to sell out all the Pikeland tract under foreclosure of the Hoare- Allen mortgage, dated Aug. 26, 1789. Every farm was sold and even the St. Peter's church, which the emigrants had built, was sold to satisfy the greed of this rich English merchant Hoare. This caused wide- spread disaster, as many of the farmers not being able to redeem their property, were left without a farm or home. In a power of attorney dated 30 April, 1791, given by these emigrants to their attorney to settle and make good title for their property, the names of John Hench and Nicholas Ickes appear in connection with the above farm.

After John Hench sold his farm, he with his two daughters, Christina Sherriden and Catharine Close, removed to Cumberland County, in what is now Juni-

34 Records of the Annual

ata County, purchased a farm and started life over, al- though he was an old man. He is the progenitor of all the Henches of Juniata, Perry, and other counties, who have intermarried with the Ickes, Rices, Hart- mans, and other families of our reunion.

John Hench's son George had a son Peter who mar- ried Elizabeth Ickes, daughter of Nicholas (3).

The following records are from the New Hanover Lutheran church books :

Catharine, daughter of Heinrich Ickes and Anna Elizabeth, from Schoolkill. Born Jan. 30th, baptized March 30, 1746. Sponsor, Catharine Icks.

The church home of all the Ickeses was the New Han- over or Swamp church. This grand old church is sit- uated in Falkner's Swamp, or properly speaking, Falk- ner's meadows, and stands on a knoll in the midst of one of our most fertile valleys. It is seven miles from Pottstown, Pa., in New Hanover Township, Mont- gomery County, Pa. It is the oldest German Lutheran church in America and was founded by the Rev. Jus- tus Falkner, 1703. When Father Muhlenberg ar- rived in Philadelphia, Nov. 25, 1742, he went and preached in their log church November 28th, from 2 Corinthians, v. 20, "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ ; as though God did beseech you by us : we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." This church antedates the Trappe church about thirty- nine years. Next November the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this building will be celebrated. It is built of trap granite with brownstone facings. The walls are three feet thick ; the window frames are all stone ; no wood was used except in the sash. The building is large and surmounted with a steeple. The interior has a gallery on the sides and end where a large organ stands. The windows have stained glass. The ceiling is high and curved from side to side. It is a typical German church of 200 years ago and must

36 Records of the Annual

be seen to be appreciated. Every Ickes who can af- ford it should pay a visit to this beautiful old church which their forefathers helped to build and left io8 years ago when they migrated to a new land. During the Revolution it was used as a hospital after the bat- tle of Germantown, and was ten miles from the homes of the Ickeses. How many of us to-day would ride ten miles horseback on a bridle-path through the for- est to attend church ?

Nicholas 3d sold the farm in Pikeland and moved to Sherman's Valley, Tyrone Township, then Cumber- land, now Perry County, Pa., where he purchased 260 acres of land from Robert Robinson; 260 acres of mountain land from Dr. Maley, and sold 130 acres to Charles Eliot. He also bought of the state 164 acres and 85 perches in Tyrone Township, on June 30, 1812, and 170 acres of George Sanderson, on which he moved and where he located Ickesburg in 1816. Among the early settlers there is found on the tax list of 1820 Nicholas Ickes, saw mill, distillery, house and lot in Ickesburg. Samuel Ickes, Jr., and Jonas Ickes, doctor.

Nicholas' wife, Mary Magdalene Christman, dying in 1797, he married Mrs. Susan L. Bemheisel, by whom he had fourteen children, making him father of twenty children.

I, Elizabeth Ickes was bom October 6, 1787, mar- ried in the year 1809, to Peter Hench, who died Jan. 31, 1814. Elizabeth died Aug. 2, 1859, aged 72 years, 7 months and 27 days.

John Hartman

This geneology was prepared by John M. Hartman, of Mt. Airy, Pa., and J. \\. Rice, and read by Rev. J. W. Meminger, at the reunion held Aug. lo, 1905.

In August, 1750, the ship. Royal Union, Clement Nicholson, commander, arrived at the port of Phila- delphia, from Rotterdam, on which were seven emi- grants, namely : Johannas Hartman, his wife, Mar- garet Hartman, son Peter Hartman, second son, Jacob Hartman, daughters, Marie Apolonia, Elizabeth, and Catherine.

On the 15th of August, Johannas took the oath of allegiance to King George, of Great Britain.

They remained in Philadelphia a short time, and in 1753 moved to Pikeland, Chester County, Pa., where Johannas had taken up a tract of land under the Penn government.

Jacob, the subject of this paper, is found in Pike- land tax list 1774 inmate, 1779 inmate. In 1781, he is taxed for 130 acres of land, 2 horses, and 2 cattle. In 1785 his federal tax was one pound, 18 shillings, and one pence.

The emigrant Hartman had built himself a log house on his property, which he replaced with a sub- stantial stone building in after years.

In 1781 Jacob moved in one end of the Hartman homestead ; the emigrant and his second wife lived in the other end.

Jacob married Sallie Sahler, or Saylor, by tradition, some say Souder.

He.vch and Dromgold Reunion 57

His son Peter was born about 1772. Phoebe Ann, Margaret, John, Elizabeth, and Samuel were born in Chester County.

By the will of Johanna, Jacob was to have the plan- tation, but just prior to this a heavy loss fell on all the inhabitants of Pikeland, as the following will show.

The land forming the township of East and West Pikeland was patented by William Penn to Joseph Pike, merchant, of Cork, Ireland, Dec. 3, 1705, and contained 11,116 acres and allowance of 6 per cent.

Joseph Pike died 1727 and devised his lands in Pennsylvania to Elizabeth, his wife. She died in 1733, and devised the land to her son, Richard Pike. He died in 1752 and devised the land to his kinsmen, Samuel Hoare and Nathaniel Newbury, merchants, of London, England.

In 1756 Samuel Hoare purchased the interest of Nathaniel Newbury. On Dec. 3. 1773, Samuel Hoare, by his attorney, Amos Strettle, conveyed Pikeland to Andrew Allen, of Pennsylvania, taking a mortgage thereon for sixteen hundred pounds, part of the pur- chase money. Andrew Allen sold and conveyed par- cels of this land to one hundred and fifteen persons, among whom was Johannas Hartman, but Allen fail- ing to pay off the mortgage to Hoare, the latter brought suit and the whole was sold to Ezekiel Leonard, sherifif, and purchased by Hoare, to whom the deed was made Aug. 26, 1789.

Many of the settlers by the pa>-ment of additional sums, were enabled to retain their lands and improve- ments, but some lost all they had.

By a power of attorney, dated Dec. 2, 1789, Samuel

Hoare constituted Benjamin Chew, Alexander Wil- cocks, and Benjamin Chew, Jr., his agents, to lease or sell his lands.

By the will of Johannas Hartman, in 1785, Jacob was to get the plantation or farm. Unfortunately the mortgage of Samuel Hoare ousted Jacob, compelling him to secure a home elsewhere.

About the year 1791 there was a strong tide of emi- grants from Montgomery and Chester Counties for the Cumberland Valley, as the Indians were pretty well cleared out of that country, land being cheap at that place.

Among these emigrants were Jacob Hartman, Fred- erick Shull, Zachariah Rice, Jacob Hippie, John Hench, and others. Finding the lands nearly all taken up, they moved up into the upper end of the then Cumberland County, but now Perry County. Jacob Hartman took up a tract of land in Saville Township, Perry County, and built thereon a substantial log house and barn and got his farm into good working order. The soil was sandy and did not prove so good as the rich lands in Chester and Montgomery Coun- ties. In their selection of lands they were guided by an old rule, that where you find large timber the soil will be good, but this rule did not apply to Buffalo Val- ley, which is in Saville Township.

This log house was built of hewn timber and stood the storms of a hundred of years. It was torn down in 1900. In the centre of the building was a large stone chimney, with one large fire-place in it on the kitchen side, and a small fire-place on the opposite side in the bed room, and another small fire-place in the parlor.

Hexch and Dromgold Reunion 59

The old clock ticked away for about eighty years, when it was removed to the home of Levi Wibley, who sold it to Harry W. Hartman, of Ellwood, Pa., who is a great-grandson of Jacob.

The log barn is still in use. The Buffalo Creek runs in front of the house and about 500 feet off and along- side of the barn a never failing stream of water runs from the mountain. The land has a southern ex- posure with the Tuscarora Mountain on the north.

The famous old orchard planted by Jacob has now disappeared. One tree in particular of that orchard was called Aunt Betsy's tree, being named for one of Jacob's daughter's-in-law, Elizabeth Olwein, wife of Peter Hartman, Jacob's oldest son.

Jacob lived on the farm until after 1800, when he moved to Blain, Toboyne Township, where he died about 1823, and is buried at Blain. After the death of his first wife he married a second time Eva Marie Dunkel.

Jacob left a large amount of real estate, but when it came to be sold scarcely anything could be got for it, as times were extremely dull and money scarce. The executors had to hold the property for a long time, but the creditors getting tired of waiting, took the mat- ter into court and caused his executors, Peter Hart- man and Frederick Shull, to show why they would not sell. The final distribution took place among the heirs in 1830.

Tradition states Jacob was in the battle of Brandy- wine and being wounded, made a plug of grass to close the wound and staunch the flow of blood. He crawled under a bridge to prevent being taken pris-

oner. The Pennsylvania Archives giving a list of Revolutionary soldiers, gives two Jacob Hartmans, one leaving it at Lancaster in 1828.

Andrew Hartman, Jacob's grandson, writ€S from Cando, North Dakota, that Mathias, his father, told him Jacob was a Revolutionary soldier.

Jacob's father, Johanna, was a member of the com- mittee of safety that took steps leading to the Revo- lutionary of 1776, so that the descendants of Jacob Hartman, wishing to gain admission to the Sons or Daughters of the Revolution, can refer to Jacob and Jacob's father as authority for adjoining that order.

I, Jacob Hartman, of the township of Toboyne, county of Cumberland, and state of Pennsylvania, farmer, being weak in body, but of sound mind, mem- ory, and understanding, (blessed be God for the same) but considering the uncertainty of this transitory life, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following vis-principally, and first of all I command my immortal soul into the hands of God, who gave it and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner at the discretion of my executors hereafter named, and as to such worldly estate herewith it hath pleased God to bless me in this life with.

Thirdly. I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, Eva Hartman. the one-third of all the moneys arising from the sale of my personal property after deducting the expenses of putting the same to sale, and also the one-thirteenth part of all the moneys which may arise from the sale of my real estate after deducting the debts, if any there be, and the expenses of putting the same to sale, this part of the legacy to be paid to her as soon as convenient, and in equal proportion with the other heirs hereafter named.

Elizabeth Ohvein, wife of Peter (3) Hartman, was a relative of Gen. Anthony Wayne, and inherited the push and vigor of the Wayne family. To a woman brought up in the full and plenty of an old Chester County home the change to the wilds and inconven- iences of Perry County, was a great one, but she set- tled down to her work and kept it up to the end, leav- ing a splendid record as a wife, mother and friend. When her first child was about six months old she started from Buffalo Mills on horesback with her child and traveled 120 miles to visit her parents, friends and relatives in Chester County. Being a woman of good address she met with kindness all along the route. How many women to-day would do the ''likes o' that;" truly a hospital would be wanted at each end of the line. Her two youngest boys, Ben and Fred, were athletes when small. When they did something wrong Aunt Betsy would go for them with a whip, they would nm up stairs. Aunt Betsy after them, the boys would jump out of the second-story window. "You Ben !" "You Fred !" but the boys were on their

way to the barn by this time for shelter. She died at the ripe old age of 88 years. The sun shines bright on the old Emanuel Graveyard, but on no grave does it shine where a wife and mother's life work was done better than that of Aunt Betsy's.

Elizabeth (4) Hartman, daughter of Peter (3) Hartman, married Samuel Shoemaker, a blacksmith and farmer. This woman had all the traits of her mother. In a conversation with Samuel Shumaker in old age he made an eulogy on her and what she had done for him that any wife would be proud of.

One of their descendants was John (5) Shoemaker, a celebrated scholar and teacher at Academia, Blairs- town, N. J., well known to all the older people of this county. His son Samuel (6) was an officer of the Huntingdon, afterward cashier of the National Bank of Western Pa., at Pittsburgh, and well known for his probity and honesty.

Benjamin (4), son of Peter (3), and Elizabeth was an iron man. He ran the Oak Grove Furnace for some years and was an athlete, but he died at an earlier age than most of his relatives. His good humor was shown when nearing death by his jokes with the doctor. His wife, Penniah, a pious woman, survived him some years. Their son, Harry Watters, is a well- known iron man and founder of the Hartman Steel Company of Beaver Falls. His brother, Jesse L., is prothonotary of Blair County.

Frederick (4), Benjamin's brother, was an athlete and wrestler. On one occasion when taking a drove of cattle to Philadelphia he stopped over night at Lan- caster where some of his friends arranged for a wrest-

Hexch and Dromgold Reunion 67

ling match between another and himself. Fred ob- jected to it but his friends finally prevailed on him to wrestle. Fred was only medium height and his op- ponent a tall and powerful man. They clinched and Fred soon found himself off his feet going up, but his feet struck the top of the stove. This threw his op- ponent off his balance and they fell with Fred on top. His opponent insisted on another trial. Fred having learned his opponent's points threw him over heels up, landing him on his back and knocked the wind out of him. He did not come to and his friends had to rub him and give him stimulants to revive him. F.^MiEY, Johannas and Margaret Hartman. Branch,

John (3) Hartm.-xn.

John was a butcher by trade and a general all- round man, strong, powerful, he could give a good account of himself in a scrap. He made a clearing near the top of the Gap, above Ickesburg, on the road over the Tuscarora Mountain, and started a country tavern. His services were in demand at the hog butcherings about the holidays. When John indulged in too much whisky he would cry and beg his wife not to scold him. There is no trace of this clearing or tavern save a small piece of stone wall to support the bank.

It was a remarkable thing that two men should meet at this wild lonesome spot, strangers to each other. "Good morning, sir;" reply, "good morning."

"What are you looking for?" "Hunting for the ruins of the old Hartman tavern." "I am too, but here is all that is left of it." "Who are you?" "\\'esley Ful- ler." "Who are you?" John ^I. Hartman." Both were relatives and descendants of the original Johan- nas Hartman.

This tavern became well known as a place of meet- ing for the bullies of Perry and Juniata Counties, the lines of the two counties here joining. The bullies and their backers would meet in the back yard to de- cide who was the best man.

Zachariah Rice

The Rice Genealog>' read by Rev. Vernon Rice, Aug. 9, 1906.

Among the 30,000 German emigrants who landed in Philadelphia between 1727 and 1776 we find that of Zachary (Reys or Reiss) Rice, who landed from the ship Edinborough, took the oath of allegiance to King George 3d, of England.

He was born in 1731, and before he came to this country was by trade a millwright.

His first work of any importance was to build a mill for the separation of clover seed. This mill is still standing and is used as a storehouse. The machinery has disappeared. It is situated on the Pickering Creek, near Pikeland Station, Chester County.

Traces of the head and tail races still remain. Judg- ing from the number of mill sites and from the re- mains of old mills, we may infer that Zachary Rice was a very busy man. His style of clover mills was in use until i860.

In the vicinity of Pickering clover mill lived Johan- nas and Margaret Hartman, also Germans, who came over in 1750.

Their daughter, Maria Appolonia, afterward called Abagail, for short, was born according to the record of the old Bible, which reads : "In the year 1742 my wife, IMaria Appolonia, was born in the month of September, on the 4th day of the month, on Moses Day."

HENCH AND DROMGOLD REUNION OF Perry Cointv, Pa.

Her father was John Hartman, and her mother Margaret Hartman.

In the old Trappe church book we find : "Confirmed Maria A. Hartman, aged 15 years, daughter of Johan- nas Hartman and his wife Margaret, of Pikeland, Chester County, June 26, 1756."

Zachary married Abagail Hartman in 1757. She was 16 years. They went to housekeepieng on the form (owned by Daniel Lacey, in 1898) in Pikeland Township. To them twenty-one chiMren were born, seventeen of whom lived to a good old age.

Zachary taught his trade to his boys and to many others. As a farmer could also be a carpenter in those days, he worked on the hospital built at the Yellow Springs, in Pikeland, for the sick and wounded of the Revolution in 1776.

He also did other work for the government. He bought a farm of 205->4 acres and paid $4 (four dol- lars) per acre, in all $823.

What remained after first payment he paid in four yearly instalments of £166 and 2^4 pence.

By a deed poll dated May 22, 1786, Zachary bought no acres from neighbor Francis Sole for £162.

In 1767 he built a new house on a sloping hillside; at the foot of the hill there was an excellent spring which still pours out its blessings to man and beast.

The date was placed in the gable end of the house in a semi-circular space of twenty-four inches wide. The name of the builder and the date were cut out in figures and letters of a proper shape from an old fur hat ; the space was plastered and the name and date

8o Records of the Annual

were pressed into the soft plaster, where they remained until 1885, when an addition was built to house.

The German language was used in school, home, and church.

Zachar}' was humorous, as related by George Hart- man, St., a nephew of Mrs. Rice, who visited the Rice family, taking dinner with the seventeen children around the table, that on such occasions Zachary would say, "George, you must help yourself, for here it goes like furnaces and forges."

Zachary was a regular attendant at the house of worship. They all attended St. Augustine's Lutheran church, at the Trappe, in charge of Father Muhlen- berg, the pioneer of the American Lutheran Church. The distance from Zachary's house was thirteen miles ; they traveled on horseback by bridle paths ; carriages and wagon roads were unknown. On the way they forded the Schuylkill and reached a cold uninviting old church and sat for two or three hours.

In 1771 St. Peter's, a log church, was built in Pike- land. Here the Rice family attended until 1790, when they moved to Juniata County.

The records in Zion's Lutheran church book say: "Peter Hartman and wife, Maria Catherine, were sponsors in 1764 for Peter, son af Zachariah Reiss and wife Appolonia," and records of baptism "of Zachariah Reiss and Appolonia was born Dec. 23, 1766, Maria Engel."

Also confirmation of their son Benjamin, by Rev. John Herbst, of Loysville, in 1798, and of Margaretta, by Rev. John W. Heim, in 1817.

We spoke of Zachary building some hospitals for

Hench and Dromgold Reunion- 8i

the government, but when the Revolution broke out the Yellow Springs Hospital was filled with wounded soldiers.

One of the most frequent visitors to this hospital was Mrs. Rice, who on her errands of mercy, carried food and delicacies to the sick soldiers. During these visits she contracted the typhus fever, from the ef- fects of which she afterwards died.

Mrs. Rice was a stout, well-built woman, warm hearted, and ready to lend a helping hand. It is re- lated that after the battle of Brandywine, General Washington retreated across the Chester Valley to the Yellow Springs, passing the Rice home. Halting with his staff officers he asked for some water to drink. Mrs. Rice quickly sent one of her daughters to the spring for a bucket of water, and mixing into it some sugar, rum, and spice, made "flip," a then common drink, and presented the bucket to General Washing- ton, addressing his as "my lord." Washington im- mediately replied, "We have no titles here, we are* all brothers, my heart is with my poor men who lie in the battle field at Brandywine." This was one of Washington's darkest moments.

In 1789 the farm was seized by the foreclosure of an old English mortgage. He with 113 other farmers lost his property.

In the succession of owners from William Penn down, Pikeland Township was finally held by Samuel Hoare, a rich London merchant.

Hoare sold the Pikeland tract to Andrew Allen, a Philadelphia merchant, who paid Hoare a small sum on account of tract and gave a mortgage for the bal-

82 Records of the: Annual

ance. Allen divided it into 200-and 300-acre farms and sold it to German emigrants as they came. Being a prominent man and a member of the Continental Congress, he was unsuspected of fraud.

After the Revolution and Lord Howe had captured Trenton, Allen turned traitor, went to Trenton, and threw himself upon Lord Howe for protection. Even St. Peter's church was sold to satisfy the greed of the rich merchant Hoare.

Zachary being unable to redeem his property, it was bought by John March, who took possession.

How dark must have been this first cloud of dis- aster to a man who had toiled so long and so hard by dint of perseverance to gain a home he might call his own.

His only solace was a kind and loving wife and family of obedient children. But death claimed his wife. It was due to weakness from the tyhpus fever which she contracted from the soldiers.

She died Nov. 6, 17S9, aged 47 years, 2 months and 2 days, and was buried at Pikeland church. Seven- teen of her children walked in the procession to her grave. A remark was made at the time that it would be a long time before another such sight would be witnessed at that church.

Mrs. Rice was born in Germany, probably in Wor- tenberg. Her grave is lost ; the stone is destroyed.

Her monument is the living, moving, energetic, hardy six feet tall Rice descendants, and transmitted to her descendants a Christian character worthy of emulation by kings and queens of earth.

Hexch axd Dromgold Reuxion 83

John, the eldest son, married Elizabeth Hench, who took charge of the motherless children.

Zachary, with heavy heart, left Chester County with seventeen children, five of whom were married.

A goodly band with all their wagons and effects reached Harrisburg and attracted much attention, went westward and settled in Alilford Township, now Juniata County.

Here they cleared forests, built log houses and bought a tract in 1790, and paid for it in 1801, the sum of 1,100 pounds, or $5,000, to Lawrence King.

So the hero of 60 began life over again. He taught his children habits of thrift, industry, and economy.

They had their pleasure parties and dances, but liquor was used only as a medicine and had no part in the dance.

He continued at hard work until a few years of his death, when he spent the rest of his time in traveling around among his children, where he was always wel- come.

While crossing the Tuscarora Mountains his neigh- bors would often overtake him with their teams and ask him to ride along with them, but he always de- clined, desiring to be alone and commune with his own thoughts after the fashion of the Germans.

He died Aug. 19, 181 1, aged 80 years; buried at Church Hill, Juniata County, Pa. Thus ended the life of Zachary Rice, the great-great-grandfather of 8,736 Rices.

His son John was administrator, and bought the farm for $5,876, and a balance of $1,887.34 for the seventeen.

84 Records of the Annual

One of the descendants writes in 1846: "Sherman's Valley, between the Blue Mountains on the east, and the Tussey Mountains in the west, forms the mam part of the county broken by hills and little valleys, between them have local names."

In Buffalo Valley nearly all the early settlers lived and died.

The Henches, Hartmans, and Rices were all re- markable for agility, powerful build, great strength, and peaceful disposition. But when roused they were lions.

In feats of strength, the Henches, Rices, and Shulls excelled; in jumping, wrestling, and running, the Hartmans.

These people were honest, industrious, and law- abiding, fond of reading, and intelligent. I taught their school with an attendance of 100. I had little to do but teach. The older pupils exerted such a quiet influence in checking disorder and in setting a good example to the younger ones, it hardly required a teacher's presence to preserve order.

Four-fifths of these pupils were descendants of these four families named.

We have a grand and noble ancestry. No more blessed gifts can descend upon a generation than those of strong, moral, physical, and spiritual natures trans- mitted from generation.

Our fathers left us a rich legacy ; strong minds in strong bodies ; a keen sense of right, truth, and jus- tice, and an unmistakable zeal for God and country.

Zachariah and Abigail were settled on a farm of about 200 acres in Pikeland by Johannes Hartman, where they built a house with their name and date 1767, built in the gable end. The letters and figures were cut out of felt hats and imbedded in the soft mor- tar of the date stone. This was a solid substantial house with extra heavy wooden joist planed and not painted but no ceiling. It was partly torn down in 1885 and rebuilt in another form. It is pleasantly lo- cated on a knoll about twenty-five feet high, at the base of which is a never failing spring of water, still flowing its blessing to the fifth generation. The farm was sold by the foreclosure of an old English mort- gage of Samuel Hoare, and bought in by John March. It is now (1888) owned by Daniel Lacey, by whose wife Christian March is granddaughter of John March.

Thomas Dromgold

Tlie Dromgold family, by W. A. Dromgold. Aug. 15, 1901.

* * * Up to the present time I am unable to give the names of the ancestors more than back to Thomas Dromgold, my grandfather, who 15 of Scotch-Irish de- scent, and from what information I could gather is from Scotch-Irish ancestry.

Thomas Dromgold was born in the county of Louth, near Dublin, in the Kingdom of Ireland, subject to the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire- land, where his father was a mill owner, merchant, and farmer. He came to the United States when a young man; he emigrated from Warren Point, in the north of Ireland, on or about the nth day of May, 1801, and arrived at New Castle, Delaware, in the United States, on the 22d day of July, in the same year.

From there he traveled, largely on foot, to the Chesapeake Bay, and from the mouth of the Susque- hanna River he continued his journey until he reached Millerstown, Perry County, Pa. Shortly after his ar- rival he settled near Millerstown, and subsequently re- moved to Donnally's Mills. Soon after he purchased a farm near Ickesburg, Perry County.

He married Elizabeth Donally. * * * The first five years after their marriage they resided on a farm near Dover's Run, subsequently removed to Juniata County, Port Royal, in Turbett Township : a few years later removed to Spruce Hill Township, and finally re-

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 141

turned to their native county, where they lived the remainder of their lives.

John Dromgold became owner of his father's farm, containing about 600 acres, 300 of which he improved. In addition to this he erected a number of tenement houses, was a large employer of labor, and above all, a man of prominence in that section of the county. He was elected at various times to public offices in the township, and was active in political and business af- fairs generally. Politically, he was a supporter of the Democratic party.

During my trip last summer to Ireland, to learn if there could be any of my ancestors found in Ireland, I found in the county of Louth, near Dunleer and Drogheda, where I met James Dromgoole, the present clerk of the court, also assistant civil engineer ; there- after called upon the clergyman at the Parochial House, and had searched the old parish registry.

The Castle Bellingham registry dates back only to 1804. The Dunleer registry begins in the year 1798, and, of course, contains no record of my grandfather, Thomas Dromgold. However, on the first page of the registry it is found that Thomas Dromgold became the godfather of Margaret Dogett, on March 24, 1799, and on Nov. 27, 1799, the same Thomas Dromgold became the godfather of ^lary Boylan, and on the 30th of No- vember, 1800, became the godfather of Thomas King. In the same registry it is found that Peter Dromgold became the godfather for Annie Rogers, on April 11, 1798.

From the information given by my grandfather to my father, and from him to me, and from information

142 Records of the Annual

given by several persons well advanced in years in Dunleer and Drogheda, that at the time my grand- father, Thomas Dromgold, left Ireland, that he must be a brother of Peter Dromgold, and grandfather of James Dromgoole, who together with his five brothers, are living on and owning the old Dromgoole homestead, where the old stone house and mill stands, and where I found the scales with the initials, "T. D." That is do doubt the house where my grandfather was born.

"At the Court of Common Pleas, in and for the county of Perry, in the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania, in the United States of America, on the fifth day of January, 1830, came into open court Thomas Dromgold, a native of Ireland, and exhibited his peti- tion and affidavit stating that he is a free man, and an alien ; that he is about 55 years of age, as did appear by the Certificate of Registry, therewith presented under the seal of the District Court of the United States, and for the District of Delaware ; that he has continued to reside since the day of his arrival, in and under the jurisdiction of the United States; that he is desirous and willing to become a citizen of the United States, and to any foreign Prince, Potentate, State or Sovereignty whatever, and particularly to George the Fourth, king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

"Whereupon the court admitted the said Thomas Dromgold to become a citizen of the United States of America, agreeable to the acts of congress in such case made and provided, and upon the testimony of Jacob Fritz and George Monroe, Esqs., citizens of the United States, and duly sworn for the petitioners, George

Stroop, prothonotan,-, having thereunto set his hand and affixed the seal of the said court at Bloomfield, the nth day of June, Anno Domini, 1830."

Thomas Dromgold.

Thomas Dromgold, the ancestor, whom we honor to-day. was born in 1780, in the country of Louth, near Dublin, in the kingdom of Ireland, where his father was a mill owner, merchant, and farmer. The old stone house and mill remain standing to-day, owned and occupied by succeeding generations of Dromgolds. Thomas, when a young man of 22, had visions of untold wealth and civic liberty in the new world, and on or about the nth of May, 1801, he bade farewell to home and friends and embarking from Warren Point, in northern Ireland ; he sailed west- ward until daybreak of July 22d, when he landed at New Castle, Del., and became a loyal American sub- ject. From New Castle, he traveled by foot to the Chesapeake Bay, and from the mouth of the Susque- hanna River, he continued his journeying along the tow path until he neared Millerstown, Perry County, where he was enchanted by the scenes of the blue Juni- ata, as it mirrors the foot hills of the Tuscarora Moun- tains. Amid such surroundings, he determined to stay and soon thereafter located at Donnally's Mills, where he wooed and won the fair Elizabeth Donnally, whose parents were pioneers in that section and likely incor- porated the quaint village, which bears their name, and where their descendants of the fifth generation uphold

144 Records of the Annual

the character of a good man and his faithful wife. Elizabeth Donnally had two brothers and two sisters, namely, ^lichael, Claude, Abby, and Nancy.

Thomas Dromgold and Elizabeth Donnally were were married about 1807, and soon thereafter moved to a farm of 600 acres, which he had purchased above Saville, Pa. They were blessed with four sons and two daughters. Agnes died very young, and Thomas died at the age of 17.

I. Edward, the eldest, was born about 1809. He married Rebecca Sheibley, and both are buried at Esh- col. They had three children. A son ; Mary Eleanor, who married Jacob Dum ; and Rebecca Elizabeth, who married (ist) Robert N. Willis, and (2d) William Harrison Foose ; they left five children and five grand- children, a total of thirteen descendants.

n. John Dromgold married Bandinah Hench, a daughter of Samuel Hench, and Elizabeth Yohn. They had the following children :

Eliza Jane, who married Solomon Bower, both de- ceased.

146 Records of the Annual

A total of nine children, twenty-two grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

A grand total of the family of Thomas Dromgold and Elizabeth Donnally is 6 children, 32 grandchildren, 85 great-grandchildren, 103 great-great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-great-grandchildren, to whom they have bequeathed the remembrance of their faith in God and usefulness as a heritage to future generations.

Thus we observe that the ancestor, Thomas Drom- gold, was among the pioneer settlers of Perry County, and his descendants are related to its oldest and most worthy citizens, who are here to-day to celebrate the lioth anniversary of his arrival in America.

He died on the 8th day of March, 1841. Eliza- beth, his wife, resided at the old homestead until Sept. 28, i860, when in the 74th year of her, age, she was laid to rest beside her husband and two children, who had preceded her.

The Hartmans, Rices, Henches, and Ickeses were among the early emigrants to Chester County, Pa., who served with distinction during the Revolutionary War, and it is with great pleasure that I state that I have- established the records of these ancestors and that their descendants are entitled to membership in the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution.

After the war of 1776, as many of you know, these pioneers, who had toiled so faithfully to establish their homesteads in Chester County, Pa., were unfortunate to lose all their properties through foreclosure pro- ceedings of English mortgages. Heavy of heart, but not discouraged, they migrated in large wagons to Perry County, where they established new homes and

Hench and Dromgold Reunion 147

made the foundations for those who have gone out from among us to fill positions of great usefulness.

Honor is due my father, Walker A. Dromgold, for the keen foresight, which has made the fifteenth re- union of to-day a realization.

Have you ever thought of the awakened influences of these reunions? How many acquaintances have been established and family ties renewed ; how they have inspired affection for our kinsmen, and patriot- ism for our native land !

But what of the future? John Hartman, the noted genealogist, and Rev. Vernon Rice, who prepared the ancestral lines for publication, are among the list of departed comrades of the past year.

We are profoundly indebted to the Advocate and Press for the space they have given the genealogies during these years.

Having completed the last of these family records, it is our opportunity, if not our duty, to compile the same in neat book form, so that a copy of the same may be treasured in your homes for the coming gen- erations, and placed in the archives of our state and national libraries.

May I close with the words of the immortal poet :

"Lives of great men all remind us, We may make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footsteps on the sands of time.

"Footsteps, that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and ship-wrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.

148 Records of the Annual

"Let us, then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait."
